    Another 383 Cam Consideration

    I didn't want to hijack TristanCuda67's thread, so I'm posting my own. I'm doing a 383 for my Duster. It's a '68 block that has been decked only about .005" for cleanup purposes, so not really a high compression rig; and '452 heads. More of a daily driver , automatic, 3.55 rear gear ratio. The...

    Difference in fenders?

    What, besides the obvious side marker lamps are different on fenders for a 70-71 Duster vs 72 and up? I’m aware of the “beak” front on the later models as well, just haven’t found any good references between the early ones.

    Big Block Ring Compressor - Which one?

    I'm assembling my engine, it's a 383, bored .060" over, to 4.310." I have a couple of the older band style (BluePoint / Lisle) compressors, and always had good luck with them; but none of the the ones I have, seem to fit properly without a struggle. What's the consensus on ring compressors that...

    [SOLD] 383 - .040 over bore piston set

    Full set of Keith Black KB-162 Hypereutectic pistons, with pins. They are .040 over (4.290") bore and are used, but very good shape. The engine was supposedly rebuilt, and barely broken in. It was poorly done, and I was not satisfied with the machining on it, to leave it; so, these came out and...

    base coat clear coat wet sand, and now what?

    I know the normal answer her is "cut and buff." I have a bit of a dilemma - I am not certain I put enough clear on, to make it through the cut and buff process. I know this is the case at least in one spot, because I sanded through it. It is tiny, very low on the car, and I can fix (read "hide")...

    [Found!] Headlamp buckets

    I need a pair of buckets for a 70-72 Duster, or whatever fits with the same era grille. They don't have to be perfect, just functional, I that they will bolt in, and the headlamp trim rings will fit them. Hardware or a link to what I need is a plus. I bought the car as a basket case, and these...

    Tore down my 383...

    ...and It appears to need a lot of work, for just having been rebuilt. Someone half-assed this, from the looks of it, beat it up, and sold it as "rebuilt." It came with the car I bought, and I knew I would be tearing it down to check; but I wasn't expecting to have to buy a crank (at least...

    What pistons do I have?

    Ok, I know they are Keith Black, they are mostly flat tops, with valve reliefs. Anyone familiar with these? Are they any good (these are newer, so condition wise, I know they are good) for power/ mild build? I will be using 452 heads, and either a Comp Camps XE268H or XE275H, I think. I am open...

    383 sits crooked in engine bay

    Bpught a 73 Dart Sport as a project. Engine was already installed, and had been a running, driving car until the former owner took it all part for paint work. Anyways, the engine was sitting crooked, bolted in place, approximately 1/2 lower on the Driver's side. Looking at the K-frame, on the...

    383 into 73 Dart Sport using exhaust manifolds

    I plan on ditching the beat up, nearly closed tube headers someone installed this mess with. I have what appears to be what some call the "logs" and have a source for B Body HP manifolds. I know that those seem to be recommended, but do the "logs" work too? I don't have the budget for the fancy...

    New to A bodies, not to Mopar

    Hi - just bought a "warehouse find" 73 Dart Sport, with a 383 in it. The car is in pieces and pieces are missing. Hoping to get some ideas / help sourcing parts to actually build it right. Haven't had an old Mopar since '96, when I sold my 73 Challenger.
