    Lubricate cam bearing od at install

    Hi everyone, doing some research as I'm installing new cam bearings on my 400 stroker. The question i have, is who is lubing the cam bearing outside diameter before installing? It feels like the bearings being oversized to achieve a press fit, it shouldn't matter? The input I've read almost...

    Leaking water pump... But not at weep hole.

    All very good points, thank you again all. I'm aware of the 67 and earlier iron pumps and the later aluminum being different, thanks for a big heads up on what could be trouble with confusing the 2! The heater hose nipples are another good call...I'm sure most of us at 1 point have tried to not...

    Leaking water pump... But not at weep hole.

    Hi everyone... I figured I'd like a little feedback regarding my Barracuda and a leak that has sprung up. 1st, the car is a 67 Notch with a near bone stock 273. I have added a Champion aluminum rad and a small block Mopar clutch fan. It also runs a 185 t-stat. The cooling system now has run...

    Jeep compass

    I couldn't believe my wife wanted another one after what I called her 1st dreadful one a "hot dog cart". The power while not being good, is only sadder if you think about how it has more power than the original line. I HATE the auto stop feature, I'm sure a whole thread could be written about...

    Has anyone seen or know this car?

    I'm no help on this car but I'm in the Cleveland area and I've never seen this car, and it's certainly an eye catcher! Good luck with the search, maybe someone else knows of it.

    Comp Cams not responding

    I had actually forgot about it, but a few months back I too had tried their online recommendation form and never heard back. I received an email stating they received it and would be reviewing, but never a response. I was just toying with some numbers so it didn't hold me up on anything, but I...

    Best Air Shocks for Raising Back end?

    I too agree with the spring needing to be the adressed area and to get rid of the air shocks. I'm a total cheap skate, and on my Challenger the rear tires lack just enough back space, so the tires would just rub the fender lip. The thought of those air shocks bleeding out and cutting a tire at...

    68’ barracuda tear down and rebuild suspension Q’s

    I have done a kit from PST for my Challenger, and it cam pretty complete, i don't recall needing anything additional for the install, but what I did learn was I should have bought offset ball joints, as I could get close but not enough camber for a "modern" alignment if I remember correctly...

    Anyone ever try exhaust cutouts?

    Not a personal experience but I knew a guy who tried a set of the electronic cut outs and 1 hung up all the time and he said they tended to leak. I thought about them and reconsider after in reality I probably wouldn't use them often.

    Source

    I run their 400 block .030 over for 499 ci kit and have had zero issues. The balance is right on nice and smooth. That combo is in my Challenger and have driven back and forth to Carlisle from Cleveland no problem and get to the track a couple of times a year or simple TnT stuff. Just did a comp...

    Dont know were im going in the hobbie anymore:

    I would have to agree with the idea that you have to "thin the heard" despite the attachment you get to your projects. And I totally understand that thought, I get the same way. I have 2 running cars, and I take car of my Brother's car, and even just getting them out can be a juggling act. You...

    flywheel

    Yes this is still a cheaper option than buying a new one outright!

    Yep, just saw it this summer. Off a brand name flywheel too!

    I just want to publicly thank one of our members. BB73Challenger

    Greg is a great guy and it was my pleasure to help out. Thanks again all for the kind words and the smile on your face was all I needed during the test drive! That's a really nice Dart he has! The hobby has been good to me and I enjoyed the weekend.

    383/496 stroker bogging on highway

    Just a from personal experience note... On my stroker 1 to 2 on the streets was a beast. On the 1/4 mile running flat out my carb ran out of fuel by the 1/8 mile. By the time I hit the return lane it would jump back to life. Mine is very thirsty

    Who are my 400 stroker guys?

    Yeah I'd think if you work the suspension/hook out you could do it. My junk is all factory rear and I've done little to help myself there. My 60 ft were garbage, and a good build and honestly a good dyno tune would improve alot.

    Who are my 400 stroker guys?

    I have a .035 over 400 using the 440 Source 500 ci kit. The block wasn't decked, and the pistons sit in the hole about .030" I'm using the -4 flat top pistons and topped with closed chamber fully assembled Eddy RPM heads. The cam is a solid Lunati that is the most aggressive Voodoo. For my...

    Is this block usable?

    My brother bought a 350 with a portion of the starer mounting hole snapped off at the bottom of the block in a similar fashion. We had the block machined and they brazed, drilled and tapped it for peanuts ( 50 bucks if memory serves correct ) I too thought if it's a leaking point that's a real...

    Sad Super Cruise at The Mopar Nationals...........

    It is sad, a personal stop my son and I would make. I would drive down for the day, park in the "fun field" and eat dinner in Heath together and watch/participate in the cruise. The last time I went they gouged me on the price of bringing my Mopar to the show and the cruise was visibly making a...

    Harbor Freight -VS- Home Depot ( Yukon - VS - Husky ) 46" 9-Drawer Workstations

    I too bought the same Husky box in the spring and use it for my personal/hobby in my garage and actually got it on sale for 250. My local HF didn't have the Yukon on hand, only the us general, and I thought the Husky looked to be the better of the two. I've had no problems with the Husky and...

    How and should one start up a Mopar club?

    There is a local club here by me that is based on facebook for local Mopar owners. They made business cards that they "tag" Mopar owners with that if they are interested the join the facebook group and cruise, hang out or hit the drags. If you include late model Mopars and Jeeps they seem to be...

    Carlisle or Nats-which is better?

    It's Carlisle for me hands down, and I'm only a couple hours from the Nats. I like Carlisle's organization compared to the Nats free for all. Also, the last time we were at the Nats we cruised over to Heath, and was a traffic nightmare. We asked the ice cream guy what was going on and the...

    When your Monte overpowers your DONK wheels.............

    Watching them fumble around pre-stage and staging was well worth the pay off on the launch. Before I started taking my car to test and tunes, the one bit of advice given to me was unless you are John Force, don't burnout past the tree. I have also as a personal notice, have been amazed at the...

    Frankencar

    I know a guy who did this with a 90's Lincoln interior to an old Packard. Real plush. He got the whole interior from the local pull a part relatively cheap. A fairly new Mopar may be harder to come by.

    location for ignition box?

    I've seen a few a body barracudas mount on the fenderwell, so I did the same. No averse effects and the wiring was plenty long enough.

    Waterless Coolant

    Well unfortunately that half moon shroud is not going to help. I don't know about your big block application, but what I had done was measured my clearance, and walked a few swap meets before finding a used one for 5 bucks. As for an aluminum radiator, I opted for a champion, and it is clearly...

    Waterless Coolant

    I too had chased an overheating/runs hot issue in my A body. While the rad looked ok, I also opted for a nice mopar clutch fan, shroud, flush and even added a pusher. The fix was in the radiator itself, as the original rad had enough scale build up it just wouldn't cool at idle or constant high...
