    Intake Manifold leaks Coolant- Could it be too small??

    I bought a used Weiand 7510 aluminum intake for my LA and cannot get it to seal. The rear coolant ports both leak. When I removed the intake, the metal gasket ridges were not flattened, and it does not appear to fit. As a sanity check I compared the fit on the head with a cast iron 2bbl...

    Engine Swap Question

    I recently put a 1974 318 motor in my 64 Barracuda. It fit, but just barely. Unfortunately, the engine has a severe vibration/balance issue that we have to solve. Since the motor we rebuilt had some internal issues I may want to put in a different short block, and still use the aftermarket...

    15 inch Wheels and Tires on a 64 Barracuda?

    I'm about to purchase a disc brake conversion kit for my 64 Barracuda. Most of them require 15 in. wheels. It has 13 inch now, so it will be a significant change in size. I'm sure others have dealt with this- any problems encountered with 15 inch wheels?

    Ohio Greetings

    Just thought I'd leave a short note and introduction. I just joined, but I'm certainly not new to Mopars. I've had 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury 361 2-4 bbls, 1966 Charger 383, 1968 and 1971 440 Charger RT's along with a host of non-performance Mopars over the years. My dad was an executive with...
