    Hemi Swapping a perfectly good 70 Duster

    For those not following along on my build thread, I'll highlight some of the G3 Hemi swap specifics here. Here's a quick background. 70 Duster I've owned since 1997. I use it as a cruiser, and autocross. It's got a 408 LA in it with solid roller cam, indbrock heads and port EFI made by yours...

    How to make your G3 alternator a 1 wire connection

    I'm sure most people that have gotten themselves into a G3 swap without using the factory ECM end up in a situation of having to make the alternator work. I know the old school voltage regulator is supposed to work, but what about the guys who want a clean engine bay? There is certainly an...

    DOES THE HDK SUSPENSION K-MEMBER HANDLE BETTER THAN A T-BAR SUSPENSION?

    Ahh, the age-old debate of which suspension is better for our beloved Mopars. There will always be opposition when this topic is discussed, but first, what exactly is “better”? Are the things that one person considers “better” actually relevant to everyone? Probably not. Chances are the die hard...

    LOJ Conversions - G3 to Nissan 6 speed

    There's a new option on the market for 6 speed conversions using the Nissan transmission. The kit seems pricey, but the transmissions are cheap, making your all in conversion much more affordable than a T-56 swap. I'm curious how well these transmissions would fit in the tunnel of an A-body. A...

    Let's talk G3 hemi cams

    The G3 is finally getting some love from cam manufacturers. It seemed like Comp was the only one offering cams for the G3 for a long time. Now Comp has several to offer, along with Texas Speed, MMX, Hughes, Cam Motion, Lunati, etc. I'll start by saying I can't stand how manufacturers have turned...

    Early 5.7 Hemi head porting

    There isn't a modern hemi engine specific forum so I'll post this here. Has anyone done some hand porting on the early 5.7 hemi head? If so, do you have before and after performance results? I'm working toward a swap on my car with a fairly low mileage 06 5.7. I started cleaning up a couple of...

    8-3/4 crush sleeve eliminator

    I have a 489 housing 8-3/4" with what I assume has a crush sleeve that has lost tension. I get a growl around 70mph and up. The gears only have about 4000 miles on them. I was battling a driveline vibration for a while, which is now solved, but I'm thinking that vibration may have taken a toll...

    70 Duster door mirrors

    Need some help from the gurus- 70 Duster, if the sport mirror option was purchased, did you automatically get a passenger side sport mirror? Or could you get just a driver side sport mirror? Thanks!

    Should I make the swap to G3?

    I've been kicking around the idea of swapping to G3 lately, particularly since Holley came out with their parts for the A-Body. I'm looking for input to either talk me into it or out of it. I'll preface with describing how I use my car. I built the car to drive, and drive it hard. I drive 45...

    Camber Gain

    Can someone educate me on exactly what camber gain is and how to improve it? I've read some articles online and I must be having a mental block. If one was to use the extended upper ball joint to help with camber gain, what is it actually doing? Does it help when the suspension is compressed or...

    Can you lock up your disc brakes?

    Curious if anyone with 4 wheel, manual disc brakes can lock up the tires under hard braking? I have 13.75" rotors with Brembo 4 pistons up front, mustang cobra discs in the back. 15/16" bore master cylinder, and adjustable prop valve. Although, the valve is completely open and not regulating any...

    Gen 1 Viper brakes reimagined

    I bought some Gen 1 Viper caliper years ago with intentions of using the Dr. Diff kit. I ended up putting the car back together with the FMJ 10.95" discs I had just to speed up getting the car back on the road. Now that the car is back together and has about 1500 miles of getting new build bugs...

    Anyone waiting on Hotchkis parts!?

    I've had a set of Hotchkis shocks and front sway bar on order since late Decemer and the estimated delivery keeps getting pushed back. The latest date was mid-March. Anyone else have this problem lately? They have told me it is a supply chain issue with raw materials, which I can understand to...

    Clutch adjusting rod grommet melting

    Has anyone had trouble with the clutch rod adjustment grommet melting? I have a small block with TTI headers. It has at least an inch or so all around it. I was surprised to see it melt. Anyone make one out of aluminum?

    Timing advance guru input needed

    I'm running sequential EFI and spark on a 408ci w/ aluminum heads and approximately 9.5:1 compression. I can set the timing advance to anything I want at any RPM, and any load level. I know it would be best to tune on a dyno, but I don't have access to one at the moment. Below is my current...

    Who's running a TKO-500 5 speed?

    What rear end gears are you guys running with your TKO-500? I find the first gear in the tranny to be really low when combined with my 3.91s. I'm thinking of switching to 3.55 or 3.23. Anyone out there with either of those?

    LA sequential fuel and spark EFI conversion

    I thought I would share my “cost effective” fully sequential fuel and spark EFI conversion with everyone. I know I’m not the first one to convert an LA Mopar to EFI, but I haven’t been able to find a comprehensive thread on this specific topic, so I figured it would be nice to have all the...

    TMI Interior

    Thought I'd share this for those looking for an option for modern bucket seats. These are TMI Interiors universal bucket seats. They make tracks that allow them to bolt directly to the factory bucket seat holes. Actually they make brackets for almost any Mopar. Lucky for me, they did the...

    Rocket Attack Wheels by Rocket Racing

    After looking for the right wheel I finally decided on these. They are the Rocket Attack wheels by Rocket Racing. These are 18x8 up front and 18x10 in back. I would have like to go 18x9 up front, but they don't have on with the correct backspace. I know this picture isn't the best, but I was...

    Opinions need for shocks

    In the market for some shocks for handling- no drag racing opinions needed here.... I know plenty of people like the Hotchkis and also the Bilstiens. QA1 now has options for our cars. I don't think I need an adjustable shock because, 1.) I wouldn't even know where to start adjusting, and 2.) I...

    [WANTED] Quarter window weatherstrip

    Anyone have a new set of quarter window weatherstrip for a Duster/Demon? I have an old set, I don't want another used set, only new. All of the restoration parts suppliers seem to be out of them and have no idea when they will get them. I was hoping someone had a set laying around they didn't...
