Novak makes CJ to Mopar motor mounts, and so do a few smaller 4x4 fabricators: http://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/engine_mounts/mmx-nd1.htm GM swaps are typically easy, but the Ford small block family may actually be the easiest, as the AMC engines are typically bolted to Ford transmissions...

From what I've been reading, some people have just deleted uneccessary wiring, while others have shorted/spliced some of the computer pins together to trick the computer into reading that all systems are operating correctly. I plan to use the computer from the same engine, unless someone...

I'm looking into swapping a Dodge Ram 5.9L and nv4500 transmission into my Jeep, but I haven't found any good information on the swap. Has anyone put a Magnum motor in their Dart and kept the factory fuel-injection? My only major concern is the computer, as I know they monitor several...

I owned a classic car when I was in high school, which came with headrests from the factory, but I ended up swapping the seats for units from an earlier model. The headrests were actually more intrusive, and the '55 seats that I swapped in increrased interior space more than I ever imagined...

That sounds like more of a rip-off than those crappy Acura NSXs that were cool for a minute when I was in high school, until yuppies found out that a Cobra Mustang for a third of the price beat them in every imaginable category. But why are people trying to claim how great rice burners...

I saw your post on BigBlockDart, and so I thought that I'd pitch in. You've done a lot of great work, and I hope you keep your stock look with either the original seats, or similar era Mopar seats. It's your car, but I've seen plenty of unfortunate interiors stuffed with bad Velour seats from...

Yeah, I don't know or care what a "Skyline" is; I have to see millions of hideous rice farters around San Francisco everyday, I sure don't want to see or hear about them on a Mopar website. I'd be quick to jump on some Honda/Toyota/import junk website if I had more than 0% interest in those...

Congratulations! I hope I'll be in your shoes one day! :thumbup:

I don't mind the van - I drive a Ford everyday, and have a Falcon in storage. I just don't usually bring up my Fords on Mopar sites for the reason that they are MOPAR sites. The other week I kept seeing a thread on Forabodiesonly where some guy was not only bestowing the virtues of some awful...

I live in San Francisco. I'm about ready to have my block machined: does anyone have a recommendation? I'm thinking about having Common's in South San Francisco do the work ( and they love Mopars ), but I think of them as more of a rebuild and repair shop than a true machine shop? Any suggestions?

I got them today. The girlfriend keeps trying to tell me about her day, but I keep skipping between the pages and reading bits and pieces of every article. Thanks again!!!

What do I owe you? Thank you so much!!!!

This should help if you are serious about having a four-speed: http://www.slantsix.org/articles/4-speeds/ODA833fourspeed1.htm Keisler should have some reproduction 4-speed humps available, which you would need to use with their Tremec 5-speed kit anyway ( Which for the effort spent, is a...

Yes, I'm very interested. Please copy them for me, and I'll pay for the copies and postage. -Mike Krasilnikoff 535 Ashbury Street, Apt. 1 San Francisco, CA 94117 (415) 533-1636

:cussing: Unless you take it off the engine, you're screwed, Glow Worm. I had the same problem on my Jeep, and I realized that unless you want to spend hours with a toothbrush and some rubbing compound, there is no effective way to do it. The problem with the Edelbrock manifolds are that they...

Goo-Gone, possibly acetone ( nail polish remover ), and a razor-blade scraper.

I just bought a technical service manual for my '64 Dart that a mechanic, who also bought a brand new Dart in 1964, had in his garage. There is no mention of the 273 V8, only the poly 318 and 361s that were in the bigger cars. Does anyone know if the 273 was introduced later in the model year...

A popular choice is to use the KB 167 pistons ( available through Summit, and many other suppliers ).

I have to agree. Like you said, it's personal preference, but I find all those undersized Grant wheels absolutely hideous, especially on an old car. Why don't you call up a wrecking yard ( like wildcatmopars.com ) and buy an original one in decent condition? Mopars with [generic] Grant wheels...

I just got mine from Harold/Spitfire, and haven't installed them yet. They sure took a long time to get, but they look very nice.

The member Fasttcars on BigBlockDart.com has a pretty cool 4-door Valiant. Here's a picture he put up: http://www.bigblockdart.com/index.php/topic,13646.0.html

I'm no body man, but I have friends who are. There is an endless argument regarding base/clear ( two-stage ) or just using a single stage paint. There are books and books and books that address such an issue. It really boils down to personal choice and preference. Go to a car show, and find out...

I bought the same cam for my 318, but haven't installed it yet. How do you like it? Have you been doing any street racing?

I've read others, but this should help clue you in: http://www.bigblockdart.com/index.php/topic,14691.0.html

Hey, we all make spelling mistakes, some are just funnier than others! :toothy7: I don't have too many pictures of my car, as there's not a lot to see at the moment. Sorry, they're a little blurry: I'm trying to get the ball rolling, so hopefully I'll have some more shots to post.

As advertised: K frame only - $1650 K frame package ( includes K frame, aluminum struts, motor mounts and tubular control arms ) - $2150

With torsion bars running at $300 a pair and a stock rubber front-end rebuilt kit costing close to $400 ( not including a sway bar ), you're coming up short, and still have to spend more money on brakes unless you've already tossed the drums. By the time that you're done, you'll pay more for...

Thanks for the help. I'll call those guys when I can stop buying parts ( wish I could afford food ).
