    LA 408 with Eddy magnum heads.

    Curently the engine is a 5.9 Magnum with eddy heads. They are setup for a hydraulic roller. I plan on buying the blueprint 408 shortblock which is LA based. So, I believe I would just need linkbar lifters and oil threw pushrods. Anyone else gone this route or have any info to share?

I've decided to do the 408, but as I am already a chunk of money into therlse heads, I figured I'd buy there shortblock and use...

    70 Dart, welds, Mickey ET streets. Tight fit!

    I lied. There knock offs, bit still love em! However they are a TIGHT fit. Originally I bought 4.5" backspace wheels. The tires are 255 60 15. But, compared to a standard 255 they are MUCH wider. They rubbed the quaters slightly. So, bought a set of 5.5" backspace, they fit now however, they are...

    Well, a .530 lift cam will NOT fit.

    Have seen alot of arguments about what will fit. Well, bought the Hughes retainers and spring kit along with the comp cam show in picture. When we checked clearances, the retainer HITS the valve seal at .530 lift. Obviously won't work. Thought I'd save some headches. Have a video on facebook...

    Stock wiring wrong or MSD? Video inside.

    Ok, so on my ballast, there are 3 wires. 2 tit'd together, and 1 that runs to the positive on the coil and is tied into a wire going into the voltage regulator. I was told to ditch that wire, and the 2 tied together feed the red wire on the msd. But I don't have power at those in the run...

    Front fender support bracket?

    My 70 Dart, seems as though it's missing something from.the front end. I assume there should be some sort of support bracket. The fender just pushes in. I also see two bolts on the frame (pictured) that I'm not sure where belong or what they do. Does anyone know if I can get reproduction...

    As some may know, I am new here. Just bought a 70 dart, smallblock car. Plan on a magnum swap in near future. However, I'm new to all of this.

    Electric or Mech Fuel Pump? For a carb...

    Whats everyones thoughts on pumps? Im new to this, from my understanding, if you keep the magnum front case/timing components on, you would obviously run a electric pump? Or, get the la style case and run a mechanical pump? And with a electric pump, you would also use a regulator. Just...
