I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but if its not, feel to move it where it belongs. I have a 78 plymouth arrow that I would like to put a(non-world) 2.4L four cylinder into to use as a cheap rwd gas saver.140-150 hp in a car that weighs 2K lbs should still be fun enough to use...

You can get 400 hp out of a 318 just by fixing the compression ratio, and allowing more flow in/out of the engine.According to this article 318 Engine Build - A Parts Book 400HP 318 - Mopar Muscle Magazine it can be done on the cheap. My question is what would it take to make that engine live a...

Anyone have a chart or a listing of what the stock front and rear spring rates are?The rear springs in 73 scamp seem pretty shot because a transmission was stored in the trunk when I got it.So the springs were full on negative arch.I removed the transmission and the spare parts that were kept...

My 73 scamp needs both taillight lenses,both turn signal indicators on top of the front fenders, and the little reflective corner markers as well.Just looking online places seem to want gold for them.Take the taillight lenses for instance.Cheapest I could find them for was $100 on ebay for just...

My 73 scamp came with a spare 904 transmission in the trunk.Other than helping the rear springs go negative I can't tell if its good or bad,Is there anyway to test it for proper function in my garage?

I'm looking into making some new longer control arms with coil overs.And I was curious about how much adjustment I can pull out of the stock mounts?After all said and done the new A arms would be about 1.5" wider per side and the ride height would be 3" taller than stock.I'm looking to have...

Currently the engine in my 73 scamp is destroyed.The car sat for 10 years before I got it, but water got into the engine and rusted everything together so its 318 is junk.I have a 318 that came from a 78 truck that should run sitting in my garage that I was planning on throwing in it until I can...

Just like the title says, has anyone ever swapped a v6 into an a body?The 3.9 magnum v6 made more horsepower and torque from the factory than the aftermarket has managed to squeeze out from slant sixes other than all out racing builds.The 3.7 makes even power still, then the new pentastars are...

Other than in all out racing situations where more power is never enough, can a normal car have too much power?A case could be made that my 1994 dodge ram 4wd with a turned up Cummins is a bit too fast.Its pushing 310 hp and 686ft-lbs to the rear wheels on the stock turbo.With the mechanical...

How many of you have a mopar of some sort that you daily drive?Most of my running vehicles are mopars so I can pick which one I want to drive that day.Granted they are not mopar muscle but still under fall under chrysler's umbrella. My running vehicles include a 1993 Dodge Dakota 5.2L v8 4wd...

So I know how notorious our cars are for not being square.Are their any points underneath the car that are square and straight enough to cross measure to locate and square up the suspension?

I want to lift my 74 Plymouth scamp just enough to give it room to run 31" tires.The plan would be to use it to check out some of the hundreds of dirt roads around here, not necessarily go hardcore offroad, but more or less overlanding.The rear would be easy to get enough lift, things are alot...

While I know most A bodies have the aerodynamics of bricks, I'm curious to see the highest top speeds you guys have managed to wind them out to on "closed courses".My Scamp wont be running until I finish a couple projects that are ahead of it so I'm out.The fastest I've gone was 115 MPH...

Have any of you managed to make a mopar handle without using a front sway bar?I do a fair bit of driving on rough roads and in most instances a front swaybar causes more harm than good because it restricts suspension travel and takes some independence out of the front suspension.On coil sprung...

How many have installed a rollcage from summit or jegs?I am just wondering on the fitment to body.Are tubes tuck close enough to the body where you could still drive on the street or does it become a helmet only vehicle?I'm thinking of caging my 73 scamp for a bit more security but I dont want...

So I picked up a 73 plymouth scamp and my plan is to use it to drive and go camping on the back roads around here.I know from past experience the passenger car tires do not survive long on the gravel and rocks around here, so LT tires are a must.Unfortunately, the smallest LT tires are 27-29".So...

My name is Robert, I've always been a fan of Mopars for one reason or another.Recently I picked up a 73 Plymouth Scamp to add to my collection.After I got it home I found out that 318 thats in it is seized solid because water got into it during its 10 year nap.Other than that its missing the...
