Anyone found front drums and hubs for a V8 Dart (273) that have the larger lug pattern? I went with the 5x4.5" for the Dana 60 in the back, just want to match it up front, and the Google machine is laying goose eggs for me at the moment (or it might just be me) :).

I don't want to use solid mounts on my 440 Dart, but I do want much more stable than rubber. I have poly mounts in my '93 Cummins Dodge and they are great, but I haven't been able to find them for the Dart.

Can any of you younger folks read (or good guess) the year on this A833 tag? Buggers screwed right into it! There aren't any stamped '63 for the '64 model year release are there?

Anyone done a single wire conversion?

What's the biggest/best choice for radiator for a 1969 440 Dart?

I an finishing a 440 build, at least 500 on motor, maybe 150 shot, at least 600 lb/ft, 1969 Dart, will probably end up at about 3,300lbs. Have a Lakewood Scatter shield, 23 spline A833, Dana 60, 4.10 gears with True Track locker. From what I understand, I can use a 130 or 142 tooth flywheel, but...

Has anyone out there broken a 23 spline input shaft? I would rather not go to the expense of upgrading my trans, but on the other hand I tend to make bad choices with power and torque!

Putting a 440 in my '69 Dart with a Lakewood scatter shield and A833, Dana 60 out back. It will have less than 600hp to the wheels, probably about 600 torque, trying to decide on the proper flywheel and clutch size. Does the Lakewood change anything for ring gear size?

Trying to see how much HP I need to make to get to a high 10's, any of you weigh your 440 4-speed Dana 60 Stock Body Darts?

When narrowing a Dana 60, do I use the 7 1/4" center section placement as a guide for the big Dana's alignment, or just put the pumpkin dead center?

I have a 1969 Dart GT automatic console car. Can I use a 4 speed plate on it and cut out the side for the hump? I have the 4 speed hump to weld in.

1. When the rear springs are moved inboard does it adversely affect handling? 2. Does relocating the springs buy you any tire width without mini-tubs? 3. If moving the springs inboard causes excessive body roll, could a fat sway bar control that?

I'm sorry to ask this because I know it has been asked before and I am just too lame to find it in a search (but I did try). I need to get a Dana 60 for my '69 Dart GT, and I need to know the factory width and if there is any difference needed in width if mini-tubbed? This is the last major...

Calculating everything out I realized that my quench area between the quench block on my pistons and the open chamber is .040" without head gasket. I'm looking for .035" with HG, so I have to take the block back in to zero deck it. Crap. Guess I will have to get the intake milled a little also...

Had a 440 with 23 spline A833 and a Lakewood scatter shield going in my '69 Dart. Engine will have probably less than 600HP to the wheels and will be a mostly hot street, occasional strip car. What size flywheel should I get, and how much clutch will I need to close to 600 lb/ft torque?

I am prepping my parts for bob weight calculation to balance my forged crank. Is 1 gram max difference between pistons acceptable for a 440 that probably won't see more than 6k rpm or so, or do I need to zero them out?

Anyone have a high torque 440 with a stick and bad judgement and sticky tires out there? Trying to make sure a Dana 60 is an absolute must. Had one from the factory in a '68 Hemi Road Runner I owned (and drove irresponsibly) in an earlier life, and it was flawless. My '69 Dart will have less...

I need a kick in the shorts to finish my 440 '69 Dart GT project! I'll start off with my garage statue...

Anyone measured the cc volume of a pre Eagle 5.7 head minus the open quench area?

Does anyone know if I will have to clearance the firewall to use a Lakewood safety bell housing?

Assuming the perfect back spacing and leaf springs relocated inboard, does anyone know the max width slick that will fit in the wheelwell on 15" wheels?

Mocking up the 440, measured .042" quench distance between piston top and head (.020" steel shim head gasket included". The pistons are .030" down in the hole at TDC. Should I have .005" or so decked off the block? These are iron heads, hyperutectic pistons with steel rods.

While I am still gathering parts and horsetrading to get my 440 up and running I am punching in the numbers for my engine in Desktop Dyno, and I can't find the detailed cam specs for the old .509 cam. I need valve opening and closing events. Looked in all my ancient Mopar engine manuals and old...

Anyone have a way to guess volumetric efficiency of a 440 with 10.5:1? I know the 426 Hemi I used to have would go over 100% VE, but I have no idea (or even a guess) as to the efficiency of an iron headed, mildly ported, big valve wedge heads. Thoughts, experiences? I guess a dyno sheet would say?

I have researched the crap out of this combo, and I am continually amazed that a vintage cam design, low flowing iron heads, old school Torker intake and mostly stock bottom end can put you in the low 11's and even 10's in an A-Body (especially with a stick). This is the classic case of the sum...

If I don't care about originality, what is the cheapest way to get my A833 mounted behind the 440 in my '69 Dart? I could fab up a hydraulic setup like the one on my 1st Gen Dodge pretty easily if the mechanical linkage is the issue... It's crazy what people want for an original, and the SFI...

I once ran a .509 cam in a Cuda with a 383 at a measured 10.6:1, and once I figured out it needed like 17deg initial but low 30's total it ran like a scalded hog (except below 3k, tight converter). After 30 years I am putting together a 440 for my '69 Dart GT, shooting for 11:1 with .035" quench...

I am converting my 1969 Dart auto console car to 4 speed. Is the console base the same between the two? Do I just need the top parts?

Taking a poll I have a 1969 Dodge Dart GT, 273 Torqueflite, Console, Buckets, A/C. According to E-Booger, it is one of 4,976 made. I got it from the original owner, parked since '89. Have all the original stuff including two window stickers, lot tags, etc. It has like 180K, but is a Valley...

Anyone had good luck with FelPro? The Cometic's are outrageously expensive!
