Anybody have any used but reusable slant six 198 rods at a decent price, preferably in northern CA? PM me here Thanks!

As the title says. Has anyone here built a draw-thru slant 6 turbo setup? What was used in your setup, and any pics? Thanks!

What is the maximum amount of slant 6 head milling anyone here has done successfully? Seems .100" is common, but I've heard of .140" and beyond. What have you done?

Has anyone written a detailed, step by step article on turboing a 225 carbureted slant? I have considerable naturally asperated experience, but have never worked with a turbo. I'm looking for about a 50% power increase. Where can I find a generic slant 6 article like this? Not a "...here's my...

I have a chance to get some 516 heads (yes, I know-hardly the best choice) but I can get then very cheaply. The seller states that they have been professionally ported. But after talking with him on the phone, he admitted that he had done the porting himself, following instructions from an...

Looking for a set of used but reusable 440 six pack pistons, or any pistons with the 2.060" compression height. Prefer standard bore but will consider oversize. If you're price is right (many arn't) I'm interested. PM me here or email: [email protected]

Can the 346 big block heads (which I have) be safely milled to a closed chamber shape? Or would they end up too fragile? Seems to me a .100" cut (or more) would be necessary. I've read where people have done it, but many say don't try. Opinions?

Looking for a reusable set of KB215's, or similar pistons for a 400 stroker at .020" or .040" over (not .030"). PM me or email: [email protected]

Anyone have a chart or diagram (or description) of how oil flows in a big block? Particularly flow through the crank? Thanks!

While rebuilding my 400, which doesn't appear to have been rebuilt ever before, I noticed that the old main bearing shells have 001 stamped on the backs. Not .001" just 001. The rod shells don't. Does that mean that the original main journals were cut .001" undersize? Or is it just some other...

What would be the best approach to lighten the stock cast mopar BB pistons? In other words, where could I take out some metal without weakening the piston? And how? Drill? Thanks!

Is there a way to do this...and do it without damaging the psitons? I've seen little pin pullers for sale (that look like small bushing pullers) but don't know how well they work. Anyone?

When changing to a lighter piston (400 engine) while using the stock rods, crank, etc, what balancing issues are there? Someone on a different website told me that as long as the lighter pistons all weigh the same, rebalancing isn't necessary. I don't buy that since the entire bobweight will be...

Need used but still good quench pistons for a (non-stroked) 400....or..... .030" over 440 pistons with the 1.912" CH. Email me at [email protected] or PM me here. polkat

This morning the ammeter needle in my '73 Dart started oscillating back and forth. It trys to respond like it always does, reading higher at rpm and lower at idle, but seems to jump high to low and back within say a 1/4" range. It does this somewhat slowly at idle, but becomes rapid as the rpm...

Okay, this is a little weird. In all the years I've been working on cars, I've never had to test a coil before (just lucky I guess). This morning my '73 Dart wouldn't start...no spark. I removed the negative wire from the coil (and old Acell Supercoil) and made a short jumper wire to replace it...

Put simply, are the American made "Wells" 4 pin HEI modules any good for a Mopar HEI conversion?

Just wondering which of these bolts need sealing, and if simple silicon will work okay?

I hope this makes sense. I am re-installing the timing cover on my '73 318. I haven't done this in years so bare with me. After putting the rubber C gasket in the pan, and the cork gaskets to each side. I find that the cover gets pushed up a bit and I can't install the cover bolts without...

Will the old yellow (Accel?) Supercoils work okay with the HEI modules adapted to Mopar?

This is a '73 Dart with stock electronic ignition and a 318 with Edelbrock. This started a few days ago. After the engine warms up I can be sitting at a light or at full speed on the highway, and quite suddenly the engine dies. I check to see if it's getting gas...yep. So I check for spark. The...

Does anyone have a diagram of the rear door handle mechanism for a 1973 era Dart 4 door? Thanks!

The oil pan on my 318 (in a '73 Dart), is always covered with a mist of oil, front to back. However, closely inspecting the areas of the pan just under the front and rear seals shows them to be fairly dry. I've checked the pan gasket along the rails and found no problems, and the areas just...

Does 80" sound right for the length of a speedometer cable for a '73 4-door Dart? That's the only lemgth I've been able to locate. Thanks!

Can't figure out where to post this, so I'll try here. Last week I pulled the instrument cluster out of my 1973 Dart 4-door to fix all the dead bulbs. That worked well, but for the life of me I can't seem to get the speedo cable to set back in so it works. The needle 'bounces' all over the...

Looking for some decent used leaf springs for a '73 4-door Dart. Prefer northern California area. PM me or email: [email protected]

Decided today to check the lube level in my 7-1/4" rear end, but the plug in the cover has a rather large 12 point hole of some kind in it. Never seen this before. All others I've seen have a square hole that you can put a 1/2" drive into. Is there a special tool for this, or will something else...

One of the brake adjuster cables in the rear drums of my early '70's Dart is loose. It keeps working itself off the little guide where the shoe attaches. I've checked to see if it's mounted correctly and it is. It looks fairly new with no wear. It's the one with the little spring hook on one...

Having just asked questions about 7-1/4" bearings, I am also considering the 8" Ford axle swap, but don't know what Ford donor cars to search for. Want the rear to be as close a fit to my original 7-1/4" as possible. 60's Mustangs? Early 70's Fords? Anyone know? And is there anything specific to...

About to start a rebuild on a 7-1/4" rear. Rural area with no machine shops nearby. Is there an alternative way to remove and replace the end bearings (wheel bearings) without using a big press? Thanks!
