Posting for info only and to help others. I've fought high temps on my 440 dart since day 1. I'm blowing it all apart and redoing everything regarding cooling. Water pump/housing, radiator, fans...all new. There's been lots of talk regarding casting on the 440source water pump housings...

Background: About 2K miles on 440 Build Driving in traffic oil pressure would randomly go to zero with an accompanied oil pressure light. I'd shut off immediately and restart. Almost always...it'd be fine again. Symptoms slowly progressed to the point where when I restarted it'd be kinda...

So just got back from a tuning session on a chassis dyno...I was kinda expecting more. Engine specs: 440 bored .030 over Forged Factory crank Speedpro 7025 pistons with dome milled off. Approx 9.3:1 Static Compression Radio Factory 452 iron heads Long Tube Headers 1 3/4 primaries 3" Exhaust...

No...not an A-body...but since I've got a 440 dart, figured maybe I'd be grandfathered in. Picked up a 1990 Dodge Ramcharger 4wd, 360 TBI, a-518OD, lock up converter, Chrysler 9 1/4 rear, Dana 44 front....for $2300$ Wasn't running when I got it...changed a few sensors and new injectors and...

Is there a difference between sail panels for cars with hardboard headliner and fabric headliner?? All the Sail Panels I find on Ebay state they will NOT work with hardboard headliners. I could probably call Classic or Year One....but don't feel like spending 80 bucks on a piece of hardboard.

Just wanted to this out there for my fellow Moparians, as I despise insurance companies. I got Grundy insurance for my Dart...stated value 18K, full coverage for 260 a YEAR. Dirt cheap. Restrictions? Must have a different daily driver insured (not through them necessarily) and car must be...

Doesn't have to be the exact year model, as long as it fits. Screws into the metal roof frame, mounting holes in a triangular pattern. 2" between long side and 1.5" between short legs of the triangle. Shipping to 76137 Jason

Need drivers and passengers side door jamb switches. Thread size is critical as it's near impossible to chase down the correct size apparently. Shipping to 76137. Regards, Jason

Finally got it fired up. 20 mins at 2000-2500 rpm for cam break in. Went nearly flawless. Small fuel leak to fix, that's it. Had to spray radiator with hose to keep the temp down, but I knew the cooling would be an issue.

So just finished watching an episode of Engine Masters on Motortrend. They dyno tested a motor at different states of the headers being dented. Started off mild....and progressively got more extreme. ZERO changes in TQ and HP until they basically smashed em nearly flat....and lost only 8HP...

Found it half way though fussing with mine for a day...better late than never. For the next guy behind me fighting this battle: Side Glass, Regulators, and Window Alignment

I feel like I'm missing something....the vent window isn't solid enough and I think it's to do with the bottom attachment point/guide. It's been nearly 5 years since I took this thing apart. Currently, the bottom bolt just seems to be acting like a guide...doesn't provide any support for the...

440 w/factory 452 rebuilt heads....with factory springs. My thoughts was to use the softer factory spring for cam break in (hydraulic flat tappet) then swap springs. I'm running summit 6401 Cam Intake Duration at 050 inch Lift:224 Exhaust Duration at 050 inch Lift:234 Duration at 050 inch...

I'm wiring a 72 Dodge dart w/440 using a Coach Controls Wiring Harness. I have oil pressure gauge and water temp gauge installed. I want idiot lights ALSO. I'm 90% certain these additional holes are for this exact application. 1. That hold on the aft part of the block....it can be used to...

1972 Swing... Finally getting things buttoned back up after paint. Put the chrome channel for the roof rail weather stripping back up and got to looking at the long metal trim piece that goes on/under that piece....I believe it's to trap the headliner and hold it up (cardboard headliner). Do...

Need a driver's quality seat. Doesn't have to be pattern correct as long as it fits and is all black. Want a seat that's ready to go, not one that needs recovered. Thanks!!! Shipping to 76137. Greyhound would probably be cheapest.

This thing. The spring on mine is broken. Shipping to 76137

How about this? Anybody know if they're reproduced?? 1972 Dart Swinger

Anybody know where I can get these?? One broke...I suspect the other isn't too far behind.

The Maaco inquiries come up periodically, so i thought I'd share my results. Overall, I'm very Happy. Maaco's are independently owned and operated, so results may vary. They sprayed two stage Sherman Williams Paint....under hood, trunk, jams, doors, bumpers...EVERYTHING. Plus wet sanded and...

Anybody come up with a custom one? Or a slick looking universal one? Not a fan of the big plastic jug.

Just the center piece. I have the two small outboard pieces. Shipping to 76137

Kind of hard to describe...on a swinger model it's the retainer strip that the weather stripping goes into along the top of the roofline. It's secured to the roof with screws and adhesive. It's NOT the painted pieces. Shipping to 76137 See pics.

Just the lower right piece. See pic. The piece missing is what I need. Shipping to 76137

Anybody have any luck painting or powder coating the exterior door handles?? I think it'd hold up fine, but I wonder about the thumb button sliding in and out all the time...wearing the paint/powdercoat off.

I've lurked this place for years with random questions here and there. This is my first car restoration so its not exactly a concours level deal. My fab skills are nowhere NEAR some of the guys on here....I'm in awe at what some of your minds can produce. So here goes.....I've been at this...

I'm attempting to reuse my crank pulley that originally came on my "industrial" 440 that had a cast crank. My new crank is forged with the appropriate dampener. The bolt holds don't line up. Check the pick out. I shifted the pulley around multiple times thinking the holes are offset so it...

I have an RV 440 with 452 Casting Heads that are original to the motor. IE...RV Heads. I'm trying to determine a spark plug recommendation. I purchased ACCEL 437S Shorty plugs as they were recommended by other members for header clearance. They DON'T fit. See pics. The bottoms side of...

The ones in the rear bumper for a 72 Dart Swinger. I'm in the process of shaving my bolts and I'm inclined to fill these in also.....but have no idea why they're even there. The rectangle ones on the lower half....kinda in between and blow the tail lights. See pic...not my dart...scoured pic...
