    RHD 318 with magnum heads header suggestions

    Hi all, I am looking for suggestions on a suitable pair of headers for a RHD (Australian) VG Valiant (67-76 US Dodge Dart) running a 318 stroked to 390 with Magnum heads. I have looked at the TTI shorties, as well as some eBay cheapies, and the local (Pacemaker) options and none (except the...

    Removing steering column cancell-ator

    Hi all, I am in the process of rebuilding my steering column, and have a second column as a guide for the rebuild. As part of this process I am partially dis-assembling the second column to work out how to put it back together (I pulled the first column apart years ago), and am stuck on how to...

    Inner door panel armrest mounting points ?

    Looking for some help with fitting USDM armrests on my (Australian) VG Valiant hardtop. Problem 1 : I bought some repro armrests to suit a 1968+ Dodge Dart, and the mounting holes line up fine but the clip in the body doesn't line up with the screw that runs diagonally from under the armrest...

    Wanted: NOS or repro/rebuilder of A body Dart door lock latch assy

    Not sure if this exists in the after-market, but I'm looking for the door lock latch assembly (that closes around the striker) for both RHS+LHS to suit a 67-76 Dart (I'm guessing they're a common assembly on many other Mopar's also). I've tried rebuilding the pass-side but they're just worn out...

    Need hole size/position for cable hole in Dart transmission tunnel

    Does anybody have ready access to a Dart without the carpet / console fitted ? My Dart (Valiant) was a column-shift auto that the previous owner converted to floor shift when he changed from the 6 to V8. There is a hole on the left side that he has cut where the neutral safety switch cable, etc...

    What harmonic balancer should I get for my 390?

    I didn't want to interrupt the "what harmonic balancer should I get for my 340?" thread :toothy10: So, what would be the recommendation from members on a suitable harmonic balancer for a 318/390 stroker with a cast 4" crank, for a street-only application ? I think an SFI-approved damper is...

    Wanted to buy/borrow: Magnum porting template

    Hi all, I am looking to buy or borrow a set of Magnum porting templates - I only need them as a one-off for a couple weeks at most so I can get the top-end installed on my 318 stroker. I've tried MP and they are still on backorder (doubt they will be supplied ever), and various other online...

    I am building a 318 stroker, and my stock-bore block has just come back from a sonic check with "undesirable" cylinder wall thickness.. Here is what I have (reading from top of bore / middle / bottom) : Cylinder 1: OUTER SIDE: 270 /208 / 241, INNER: 194 / 148 / 186 Cylinder 2: OUTER: 194...

    Another Magnum > LA question - head bolts

    What head bolts have others fitted to Magnum heads on LA blocks ? - the Mopar set I have been quoted $105 (I would assume the set of 10) from a dealer. I believe they need to be National Coarse thread grade 8 or better. Is there a better and/or cheaper option ? Thanks, Dean.

    Magnum heads porting template P4876413 - feedback ?

    I'm rebuilding a set of Magnum heads, and am looking to have them ported to flow a little better than stock (about 10-15% better is my goal). The MP Magnum Engines book lists a porting template, has anybody here used it - or if not, have they any specific recommendations to improve the stock...

    Magnum head 6mm valve OD tolerance

    Does anybody here have a factory spec for the 6mm valves used on the Magnum heads, specifically the OD tolerances, though any other specs would be useful also. I have bought a set of stainless valves and want to check them before the heads go in for rebuilding. I have a Magnum-specific book...

    Q: Carb to suit a mild 318 stroker

    Looking for some options in carb selection for a 318 re-build I am slowly working on. Here is what I have in mind: 318 stroked to 383ci (or thereabouts), mild street cam, late-model Magnum heads, Air Gap intake. It won't see a drag strip, just weekend / fine weather street duty. I definitely...
