    73 Dart Torsion Bars

    Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well; had a quick question regarding current sources of torsion bars. A while back I got a set of the .9" Mopar Performance torsion bars which as far as I can tell, can't find anyone who sells them anymore. I noticed several companies (swayaway, pst, magnumforce)...

    Sudden loss of pedal

    So this one has me scratching my head a bit. Had my car on jack-stands for about a week while I got new tires put on my wheels and replaced the rear shoes and drums. Now that shes back on all fours, there's basically no pedal. Putting it to the floor will stop it from rolling in neutral but not...

    Finally finished my custom scoop!

    With not being able to work on it consistently, took a bit longer than I would have liked but its finally finished and mounted! Feeds directly into the filter top and can be opened or closed via linkages. Ended up leaving the finish as sandblasted aluminum and then clear coated.

    Engine required GPH

    Hello guys, So I calculated my required fuel pump gph from engine demand to be 27.5. How much, if at all, am I taking a chance on hurting myself by still running a 25 gph carter fuel pump? When does this calculation really come into play? Just at long WOT would be my guess. Thanks in advance

    Carb intermittent gurgling

    Got an interesting one for you guys today, completely stumped the edelbrock carb techs. So put a 1405 eddy on my 318 yesterday and was tuning it and noticed occasionally it would make a sound such as if you were sucking the last little bit of drink using a straw. Happened maybe every minute or...

    The old 10w30 vs 20w50

    Making the transition to VR1 in my 318 and need some opinions here. Engine is moderately modified, all top end. Currently with 5w50 gets ~50 psi at start up/25 at idle when hot. Generally a cozy 90-100* outside, engine runs at 180-195 and probably would be driving about 70 miles a week with some...

    Oil Breakdown

    Hey Guys! So read something the other day that I'd never heard before and wanted to see if anyone here had any insight about it. Essentially it was saying that the greater the difference between the oil's hot and cold weights, the more quickly it would break down and the more likely it was to...

    73 dart 318 to 360 swap

    Hey guys! Does anybody know of any company or person that fabricates brackets for a 318 to 360 swap? Or some diagrams that I can build my own off of? Also, on a side note just out of interest, what's the most you can safely bore a 318? Heard you risk hitting jackets beyond 4.0 bores

    Shocks for SS springs

    What's going on guys? So for a good while now iv had rear air shocks and front kyb gas-a-justs. Came across my mind that air shocks pumped at 90 psi probably aren't letting the ss's do there thing as well as they could. Any suggestions on shocks for a street car that will go well with ss...

    Adding a trans cooler

    Hey guys! So I'm adding a trans cooler for my 904 and I was curious if anyone knows which is the inlet and outlet on the trans? Or which is which on the radiator. It's a downflow radiator so both connections are on the bottom side by side. I'm guessing the one on the left is the inlet. Thanks!
