    Recently got this 383. It was stuck in cylinder #8 but got it unstuck and now it is disassembled. This is my first rodeo as far as an engine rebuild, so some questions may seem stupid. I did order the "How to rebuild big block mopars" book a little bit ago to help. What all of below would I...

    [SOLD] Two 8-1/4 Rear Ends - Sure-Grip/True Lock/Posi - Big Bolt Pattern

    I got these as part of a package deal for a truckload of parts I bought recently and have no need for them. I'm not sure of the exact proper terminology for the 8-1/4" in regards to Sure Grip / True Lock / Posi. All I know on both of these is that when you spin the yoke one direction, both the...

    Diff question

    Car is a 76 Scamp with 225. I've finished the front suspension and brake upgrade and am moving on to the rear. Plan is to pull the 7.25 out and replace with 8.75.

    Tubular UCA install questions

Finally managed to get the torsion bars back in earlier today. Now moved on to the tubular UCA's and am confused. The set...

    Picked up this 76 Scamp last fall after missing a 72 Swinger I sold 15 years ago a bit too much... it's a 225 Slant 6 with about 60K miles... it had been fitted with air shocks and they kept leaking all the air out resulting in a very saggy back end - replumbed them and they still leaked, so the...
