    No fuel to carb

    Anyone have a used/extra Milodon big block oil pan and/or pickup tube for a truck? My old pan's dented up pretty bad and the oil pickup doesn't have a screen on it. I would prefer a 6 quart pan such as a milodon 30891 since I will have clearance issues. Thank you all for your time.

    727 problems

    Last fall my 727 dumped all it's fluid while I was driving down the highway. Over the past few months I rebuilt and replaced the front main seal in the transmission as I thought that was the issue. I broke the cam in today and when I finished I saw that there was nearly a half gallon of atf...

    440 Piston Question

    I bought an 89 D100 (I know it's not an A body, but this site has a member base so I came here) with a 440 in it. I was told that the engine was a stock engine out of a 71 Coronet. I have tore it down to the bare block and now know that at least part of that isn't true as it had 452 heads on...
