    Horsepower guesstimation?

    Don't focus too much on the numbers. 318's don't usually make a ton of power but they're still great engines. I used to have one in my Dart and it while it doesn't make as much power as my 340, it could still roast tires and was fun to drive. Sounded pretty good too. Around 200hp might be...

    why do people help make old cars look bad

    The owner was there promoting his brand, hence the big decal. Usually, I don't like murdered-out cars. This Dart looks really mean though. The stance is just right, sounds great, and it actually stands out in a crowd because of how well it's done. But I get what you're saying and for the vast...

    Slant six builders...Lets talk Cams

    Smith Bros. made a set of custom length chromoly pushrods for my 340. Top notch pushrods and the person I talked to was pretty knowledgeable. If you don't know what length you need the best thing to do is to get an adjustable pushrod and measure for the correct length. Valvetrain geometry isn't...

    why do people help make old cars look bad

    I've seen that Dart in person and it's absolutely gorgeous. It's an example of black paint done right. Having a black grille and bumpers definitely fits the car well and doesn't look like trash.

    It's NOT the same

    Needs a roll cage and stuff to be legal for racing. MSRP on a Demon is about $85k. Some options (like the rear and passenger seats) are $1. But that's a car that'll run mid 9's stock, will lift the front tires off the ground, and has a warranty. $85k is a lot but I bet that car would be a ton...

    A-833 shifting issue with hurst mechanism

    If it gives you any idea, this was way too sloppy to work in the car: I know it's not the best video but it's the only one I've got. Cheap shifter rods were a pain too. Took a lot of effort to get those to work right. To check the alignment you'll need a bolt that fits tight through the...

    It's NOT the same

    Old cars are just more interesting and fun. They've all got stories and quirks that modern cars just don't have. They sound different, feel different, and it's a different experience driving them. But modern cars have their place. Took my 2014 Camaro to Dallas on Thursday (probably 600 miles...

    A-833 shifting issue with hurst mechanism

    Check the alignment. If it's not adjusted right then it'll bind and get stuck in gear or refuse to go into gear. Happened to me when I went from a 3 speed to a 4 speed. Took a while to get it shifting right. There's an alignment hole on the shifter mechanism. Put a pin/bolt through it and...

    Chasing down a tapping noise

    With a lot of side play on the rockers I'd check for pushrods hitting the head.

    Slick Dart and welcome to the forum!

    Non-Mopar project I've been working on.

    Chevy really nailed the styling on the C3's. My grandpa had a '76 Corvette but he sold it and kept the Dart instead. Cool car! The purple looks awesome.

    My new engine is in the garage

    Owning an old school Hemi is on my bucket list. I love the way they look nestled in an engine bay. That thing is gonna be a monster when you get it in the car!

    Format Problem

    I've never had the website have a formatting issue like that before on Chrome. If you don't feel like tracking down the issue, and you're signed in with a Google account, then you can delete and reinstall Chrome and it will keep things the same. All your favorites, history, etc. will still be...

    Swapping a 360 from A-Body/auto into a '78 Dodge Van with factory 318/4 speed - Advice?

    The manifolds will bolt up no problem but the 318 manifolds might have a smaller inside diameter. Take a gasket and compare it to the manifold and cylinder head to see if it matches up nicely to both.

    Fair price???

    FWIW my A833 (non-overdrive) was $400 and had 5,000 miles on a rebuild. Bought it late 2015.

    Duster Help

    Not that it really matters but I wonder if the rear end is original. My '73 came with a 225 and 8 1/4 but I haven't seen a '71 with that same setup. If you really want the car I think you're going to have to go and look at it in person. Check if it's got a 727 and not a 904, and look at the...

    Uranus is due for a good and thorough probing. After 4.5 billion years, it needs a checkup.

    Duster Help

    Well it's definitely not an 8 3/4 with 3.73's. Rear cover that's oval shaped and has 5 bolts on the lower half screams 8 1/4. A 340 car would have come with an 8 3/4 in 1971 (I need to double check that though). So the car probably started out with a 318, which might still be in it. Seller...

    That's an 8 1/4. Should have 10 bolts on the cover and 3" axle tubes.

    Check list

    You'll be tearing into the motor far enough that you'll be able to use most of what comes in the kit. With a 2176 intake you might run into problems with the cork end gaskets for the manifold. If it's too tight, ditch the cork and use a bead of RTV instead.

    Check list

    He'll need a carb gasket, intake gaskets, a timing cover gasket, a distributor gasket and if the heads come off he'll need head and exhaust gaskets. Maybe oil pan gaskets if the timing cover isn't being cooperative. A gasket kit will come with valve seals too, which he might want to change while...
