Looking for cheapest way to run my 6.4 in a duster with 727. I have access to donor jeep. Can i use the stock harness and ecu and just cut unnecessary wiring out?
Just picking brains on brand. So muchinfo out there. This ones bad. This ones good. I need my mopar guys to give me some ideas. Looking at ultimate or ptc. Im on a budget but i put the money where it needs to be. Converter is one of those places imo. Mostly street car with a little racing mixed...
I am trying to do my first rebuild on my small block 727. I have all my new parts here and ready to go. I tore down the trans tonight to find out i have some serious problems inside. I might have a hookup on some core parts but its a BB 727. Question is, is the only difference in the bell...
So i decided i am going to attempt my own rebuild. 727. Small block pushing around 400hp. I am starting to accumulate all my parts and ill get started tearing down in the next couple days. Why am i feeling so scared at this point? Lol. Someone tell me im not dumb for trying this. Its just a few...
Ok i will try and make this short as possible. Fresh 360. About 400 miles on it. When breaking in the cam i had a small oil leak at the back of the intake. No oil spray from anywhere else. Broke the cam in at 2k and had several burps up to 3500ish. After breakin i removed the intake and fixed...
Ok so i have my new engine in and running. 360 .04 over xe274 cam msd al6. Now that th engine is broke in i decided to check some timing numbers and see what works best. Hit it with the light and it says 47 at 1000 rpm and dizzy unhooked. I checked the balancer mark with a piston stop and it is...
Finally today is the day that i get to hear my new engine come to life. This will be my first cam break in. Ive read alot and watched lots of videos. Still very nervous. I have alot invested and quite frankly i dont have the funds to start all over lol. Im looking for any pointers from the old...

Finishing up my engine rebuild. Looking for suggestions on what fluids to fill her back up with. Car is only a summer car. Royal purple for oil? Or maybe mobile 1? Also lookong for what coolant to run. Any of them better for aluminum parts?
I relocated my battery to the trunk. Im looking at vent options. I had a battery tray laying around that i am using but its not sealed. I see some batteries have nipples for tube vents. Just looking for advise on what to get. Really would like to go optima but price is out of question right now
Im going to take the plunge into autos. 1 to avoid labor fee and 2 just to learn a new skill. Just built a new small block and want the piece of mind that the trans is right. About 400HP. With the stock motor the 727 would bang second gear (unknown shift kit) but 2 to 3 shift was delayed like...
Putting my 70 duster witing back together. PO has it all cobbled up. Alot of missing connecters and im not sure where some connecters and wires go. The far right bulk connecter in the pic is literally not hooked to anything. Has cut wires everywhere.
I also need to know how the starting and...
Wanted a 90 degree neck and didnt want to buy one so i decided to try my own. Welds turned out horrible due to contamination but they should work. Figured i would show off some cnc and manual lathe work though
Still working on my build. Few more things to do. Finally finished my custom exhaust for now. Still going to add an xpipe in and i have new mufflers ordered. The old mufflers are just for mock up. Turned out pretty good. Still figuring out how to operate my cut outs. I will post pics and video...
Seeing if i could get a couple guys to measure from radiator to water pump for me. 70 duster with a 360. Im installing a new aluminum rad and electric fan. I only have 3" of room and the motor housing on the fan wont clear my water pump
Bought a junkyard starter from a 98 dakota. The other day. What do you guys do with the plastic wire terminal? Can it come off and have a lug added or do you just use a slide on terminal? The pin in the connecter is tiny
Just built my 360 amd had the rotating assembly balanced. When i install the flexplate do i need to have it clocked a certain way on the crank? Also the engine builder told me to remove any weights on the converter. Does this sound right?

Im wondering if this is too much play in the kickdown on my 727. Hopefully i can get the video to upload. Idk if i could try a band adjustment. 1 to 2 shift slams but 2 to 3 is delayed. Once its engaged and i put the pedal down it doesnt downshift. It doesnt slip when i pedal down either. Need...
Wondering how many amp alternator i will need and how to figure it out. Car is a 70 duster. I am running electronic ignition, holley blue pump, msd al6, electric radiator fan, and all the stock lights. I have a new 65 amp alt right now. Should i teade it in for a bigger one? Also do i need...
I printed out a mopar symbol and traced it on a $1 piece of foam poster board. Glued it on the panel and then glued and stretched my vinyl over the top. Turned out great in my opinion.
