well i didnt even think of the cable direction, but that is something to think about. one more plus for the winters i suppose. that is a nice shifter he has, but it's a reverse pattern

thats a nice looking lever and shift knob too. i really dont like the looks of modern T handles in most cases. if you're going with a performance or even race looking interior they're fine. not trying to put down anyones ride! but i like the idea of keeping everything looking sort of like it...

probably been asked about before, but i'm intending to switch my shifter off the column to the floor, and i'm curious about the different aftermarket shifters people are using. honestly i really don't like the modern look of most shifters at all, but obviously options are sort of limited. i'm...

different models and years definitely do have slightly different measurements as far as how much room there is between the fenders. so a tire and wheel combo that works for a 72 duster may not necessarily work for a 67 dart, but i figure its close enough for a starting point to work from

its about 2 and a half inches wider. but at the same time, most of the guys here move the springs inboard because the tires are too close to them. whereas i have a little over 2 inches from my tire to my fender lip. so why shorten the axle only to have to relocate the springs if i can leave...

only if you center the diff in the car. i know there are some guys on here who have installed them without shortening the axle and they said they had no issues with the driveshaft. all it does is set the center section a bit off center in the car

i know some guys run the 8.8 without shortening it. what sort of measurements are you using for wheels? as far as i can tell the explorer 8.8 is between 2 1/4 or 2 3/8 wider. how do the wheels fit? any issues?

well as for me, my engine is already in. so its going to be a pain to install them either way. i just wanted to know if the bars absolutely had to come out. if not then i'm going to leave them in no matter how much harder it makes the install haha

i have to jump in and ask, because i cant seem to see a clear answer anywhere, do either of the torsion bars actually pass through the hedman headers? or is it just easier to install them with the torsion bar out of the way?

yeah if i can get it done with 2 cans thats a perfectly ok price. i just cant be paying like $150 to paint 2 junkyard rims or something haha

by the way the car is that ugly 60s tan/yellow color, so it's a bit trick to just go to the parts store and find it. but i like the color because its right for the period

got a quick question for you guys, i'm not sure if i should put this here or in the wheel section. i'm in the process of putting some big bolt pattern steel wheels on my car, and i'm wondering if any of you guys know a source off the top of your head for original color spray paints so i can...

oh ok so mid 90s, even the 6 cylinders had them. i was thinking only the later magnum trucks used them

I know this has been discussed to death here, but i dont remember where in the forums i've seen it. exactly what year dakota/durango takes the small starter that guys use when they put headers on an a body?

yeah they definitely have a small swap meet section, at least they did last year. nothing like the big lots that get filled up for the major swap meet. but there are a few rows of things for sale

I believe august 26th and 27th

i'm down at the shore near little egg harbor/manahawkin area

yeah im going tomorrow early because i know theres just so much stuff there. as you can imagine my wife is super excited about the LONGGG day haha! like i said, i was hoping to be there shopping for some parts but i think i'm going to have to restrain myself. if something pops up that i just...

I want to go really bad this year! if i read correctly the Ramchargers are supposed to be there with their '64 330. AKA one of my top 3 or 4 favorite cars of all time haha If i make it i'll be sure to look some of you up!

Just curious if anyone has plans to do the swap meet and show this weekend at englishtown? I was hoping to be coming with cash to buy some goodies this year but that may not happen now. probably just going to look and window shop. :( I was just wondering if anyone else from the jersey area...

looking for a set of used headers for a small block A body. i know they pop up here and on craigslist from time to time, just seeing if anyone has a set maybe they removed at some point but never listed for sale. they're only going to be temporary until an engine swap is done, so i'm not...

this is an interesting thread for me to keep an eye on, i'm planning a 440 swap and i like the schumacher headers. whats interesting to me is i know the headers get installed with the engine in the car, so how can they not come off with the engine in the car?

just curious what you guys are all running for alternators on your cars mine is stock, but i have a 60 amp from a '72 in the garage i was thinking about going to. but i also want to make sure if i do that swap that i change the other parts i need to change. i believe if you do that it's...

and what did you wind up doing for the driveshaft?

well the one i bought is an open carrier, but i knew that before i bought it. ultimately its going to put me a little over the budget i planned, but its ok. the ford performance trac lok carrier is beefy, has carbon fiber clutch packs, plus i'm getting new spider gears and carrier, and it's a...

let me know. it is like $50 cheaper than the 440 source one, but it doesn't have the tie rod clearance either. personally i like that the other one looks factory but with a 6 quart capacity. the moroso holds 7, but it's also 7 inches deep compared to 5 1/2 on the other one. i don't know how...

you mean do tell about high volume and high pressure pumps? honestly the majority of my experience is with street and pretty mild engines, so i have never used anything but standard pumps. i have never had an oil pan pumped dry in a car, but some people insist that they can be. but the reason...

is this the 440 source pan youre talking about? because its what i intend to use when the time comes Big Block A-Body 6 Quart Oil Pan with Tie Rod Relief-440 Source also, high pressure is different than a high volume pump, which i'm sure anyone who already has an engine built understands. but...

if i do the leaf spring relocation, does it not interfere with the gas tank? i was looking at the kits that move them to the framerails and looking under my car and it doesn't look like there's enough room to me

yeah that may be why, i know at least one of the yards here specifically says "complete car" i believe with oem cats even. not sure why that matters other than the fact that they resell them. maybe that makes it more cost effective for the yard. or they get some sort of epa bonus for recycling...
