    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    Should be smooth sailing now. Since the torsion bars are not being used. The floor mods for TKX will be easy. I am thinking about adding the starter snout support in my bell.

    Anyone know about International Scouts???

    What about the newer scout? Power steering, Dana 44 axles, automatic option heavier spring pivot points and frame. They used the 727 transmission so easy to transplant a mopar engine. I put a 440 in one many years ago. The Saginaw power steering brackets on the 440 went well with the Saginaw...

    440/Schumacher/Borgeson

    So the box is still close to the engine. How is the clearance on the header?

    440/Schumacher/Borgeson

    Looks like it was dropped or something. That bites. Hoping for positive review. I am pondering going the Borgeson route. I have TTI headers. How did the box bolt up? Should be great clearance with the Schumacher headers?

    Borgeson steering box B engine TTI 1 3/4 long tube header fitment?

    Anyone running the borgeson steering box with a B engine and TTI 1 3/4 long tube headers? Called TTI and they said they have not test fitted that combo. The TTI headers fit factory power steering on the B engine but not RB. The Borgeson is smaller but proportioned differently. I have seen posts...

    440/Schumacher/Borgeson

    Think it was a pickup mount. Some application has a mount similar to the a body but a little thicker. Not sure of the bolt spread? Is there room to make like a 1/4" square plate that bolts to the K with another set of holes to set the mount up and down? It looks like your mount goes forward...

    440/Schumacher/Borgeson

    Do the pickups use a biscuit mount similar to the a body but thicker? May be able to use that mount with less shims? Or maybe non at all. Or can a offset plate/ shim be bolted to the K so the mount can sit vertical?

    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    Nice progress. The only thing I would add is to get the flywheel for a reference verification before finalizing starter location. Sometimes starter depth also varies. Elimination of the torsion bars is a nice way to not have to worry about the top part of the torsion bar cross member being...

    Big Block Low Deck engine install in 68 Dart

    Definitely simpler running small blocks. But glad everyone doesn't take the easy route. LOL Installing 451 in my 68 Dart car with TTI 1 3/4 headers. Thanks for posting lessons learned on install. Car looks good. Also running the car on a stand before install is a bonus.

    Advice needed on manifold repair

    If I had a lot of spare time I may weld it up for practice. Regardless of how it turned out I would scrap it when I was done. I would not run it on any car.

    Does anyone like 4 door A body mopes?

    65brdodge's car is the way to build a four door. Have the extra doors to load groceries and extra doors for people to look at as it passes them at the drag strip. Always a win. I saw a factory 427 ford Galaxy 4 door at a car collection. Somehow the engine trans combo kinda puts blinders on the...

    expert help needed (my first post)

    Interesting thread. Some times the most important lessons in life are the most expensive. Go big block. More lessons and more expense. That's what I am doing. I have no intent on selling though. And if I stayed 340 I would likely still be driving my car.LOL

    What SWAY BAR to choose

    I do not have pics when I had the Hotchkis bar mocked up under car. Everything was taken apart for powder coating. I may order parts and assemble soon. I do think you can just install the bar and keep your lowers and brake assembly as is if using this bar. You may be able to go on the website...

    What SWAY BAR to choose

    Running the Hotchkis sway bar on mine. It Definitely gives the resto mod vibe. Sits slightly lower than the k frame and it's huge due to being hollow. The bracketry is nice. I trimmed the outboard tabs off control arms and welded the inner ones supplied with the bar. I think the style given...

    15 x 7s, what size would you run on a 68 four door dart ?

    Roughly 3/4" taller and 3/4" narrower than a 225 60 15. I think they would clear on my car. Front bottom edge of fender being the closest point. Being a local shop they will likely mount a tire and let you check fitment. A local tire shop did that for me when I got mine.

    Windshield Wiper pivot

    Thank you for the response. Yeah probably not going to be greased often if ever again. Did not really think about that. LOL

    Windshield Wiper pivot

    Was wondering which direction people are pointing the grease zerk when installing them in the wiper pivots. up or down? Or can they even be greased in position? When put back together? Took car apart many years ago so I have no reference.

    15 x 7s, what size would you run on a 68 four door dart ?

    I used the 15x7 cop car wheels to check the fitment of 225 60 15s on my 68 dart. I then bought Centerline aluminum wheels with the same offset. I have green bearings on the 8 3/4 with 4.5" axles and 73 up disk brakes up front. All cleared fine. Front fenders being the closest point. The dana 35...

    Bellhousing Experience Quicktime vs Lakewood

    Going to run a QuickTime bell. Big block to TKX. I have only bolted trans to block. And bolted assembly into car. For prepping car for TKX. Hopefully my run out is not way out? I wonder how many aftermarket starters are designed to be used without the snout support? Quick time bells and modern...

    H or X CROSSOVER?

    Many years ago I wondered the same thing about x versus h. Similar specs but more cam. I went x pipe? I called TTI at the time and asked their opinion. At the lower power level per 2.5" pipe it was mostly preference it seems. The x pipe may be a little quieter with the same mufflers in your...

    k-frame strengthening

    I had the k frame, lower control arms, bumper brackets and inner splash shields powder coated. They were all blasted first. The aftermarket components are powder coated. I have seen the powder coating go both ways good and bad. When painted the outcome is better known I think? My parts turned...

    k-frame strengthening

    Here is my welded and gussetted 68 k frame with spool mounts positioned for big block. I also have the Hotchkis sway bar tabs welded on. This picture is after powder coating. I do wonder how the powder coating will hold up versus a high quality paint?

    Any gains adding 1.6 rockers to stock 273?

    Any gains adding 1.6 rockers to stock 273?

    With 85k on the clock. I would verify that the original timing set has been replaced. If it is not 185k there is a chance the original set is still hanging in there. The nylon teeth would have to be very brittle by now. I put a street master intake and AFB carb on a stock 273 with manifolds...

    Homemade big block a body engine mounts

    Schumacher is easy and proven. OEM style insulators break though. They used to make a torque strap.
