    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    2015 Mustang rear hub with a Scat Pack 14.2 rotor and 4 piston Brembo. The beginning of the idea was something with a tone ring built in. No idea if it will come to fruition.

    Rewiring my EFI Magnum - 1970 Dart Swinger

    Nice! So nice when you get to see the fruit of your labor. And really cool that you got cruise to work. I remember putting cruise on a '78 Volare and struggling to get it to work when I discovered the exact same issue; brake light switch needed to be adjusted.

    Hemi Swapping a perfectly good 70 Duster

    I went and looked up my cost, $255 for the cam and $74.08 for the springs. The stupid thing was that it cost me $91.95 for shipping! That was when shipping costs were stupid high, I should have waited. I saw too many people trying to find parts and figured I would rather have them on the...

    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    I see some similarities. Yours looks much more svelte and cleaner though. I assuming you are running a narrow front wheel? I looked at dropping mine 1" but the tie rod end started being an issue again even though I would run 18" wheels with mine.

    Is it ok to copy a W5 head and make it better or are we just mad at Speedmaster

    If things go too far, I think they will be out of business before all the hand porters die. Your port might be better but I bet it will never be the cheap option. And based on Speedmaster's success, seems people care more about cheap. :D To be clear, I'm not a fan of the option, just...

    Is it ok to copy a W5 head and make it better or are we just mad at Speedmaster

    With the advent of 3D scanners, it is even easier to copy parts. Who needs to spend the time and money to build their own CNC port tooling when you can buy a single head and us a 3D scanner to duplicate the port. Brent and @pittsburghracer become unnecessary at that point. That might be...

    Hemi Swapping a perfectly good 70 Duster

    You are running the cam without a tune? I've seen good numbers with that cam but it was after a tune. Best part is the price, at one point they were less $100 for a 6.4 M6 cam. I think mine was $212 a year or more ago.

    Is it ok to copy a W5 head and make it better or are we just mad at Speedmaster

    If we didn't have copying and improving products we would still be stuck with Model A's. The whole reason cars have gotten better is because someone said to themselves "I could do that better" and thus pushed the envelope. It's why we have different motors, transmissions, brakes, etc. But...

    Hemi Swapping a perfectly good 70 Duster

    Personally, I think the only thing wrong with a 5.7 is the cam. It's better than a stock 5.9, but it is similar in that it just kind of falls on it's face at about 5200 rpm. Put a mild cam in it and it no longer feels like a truck motor. That's why mine is getting a 6.4 M6 cam.

    Better but still hard to read. Seems like the website sometimes will allow you to click on the picture and it will expand, but it isn't working for me on this one. So the pictures of the board are all pretty small. If not typing it out again, maybe a close up of each section while square to...

    Very nice, I like it! Can't read your board though. Could you put it all in a post?

    Headers vs. Manifolds

    Looks like a less than ideal solution with Hedman shorties. Hedman Shorty headers for a B body on an A body Looks like long tubes fit better, but no mention of manufacture. B-Body Headers In An A-Body

    68' Valiant 4 door

    Been awhile, hope all is well and you still have the car. Curious if you ever finished the AC duct adaptation using the factory under dash vents with the Vintage air box.

    Thanks! I would love to get a read of the TIPM and ABS from an SRT8 to compare with what I have so far.

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    LA 360 with rebuilder pistons (8.5:1 or worse), Mopar R/T heads, RPM intake, Carter 1406, Bullet Cams regrind (206/210 @ 0.050, 262/267 advertised, .517/.520, HR), cast iron freeflows, dual exhaust. I wish it has some compression, it's pretty mild for what it is. Fun, but I wouldn't say it has...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    Nope. Just running it stock. But it has been several years since I put it in, and it wasn't original, so not going to say it wasn't done before I got it though.

    Small Block's

    In regards to moving the distributor to the front, I think it would be better to drop it all together and add a cam and crank position sensor. I find it somewhat humorous that in many ways, you can look at the G3 and see the evolution of the SBM. Same bore spacing and the 5.7 uses the 318 bore...

    Small Block's

    Interesting that the SB2 NASCAR engine did this to the intake ports but left the exhaust ports side by side in the center. That would lead me to believe that a symmetrical intake port had more benefit than a symmetrical exhaust port.

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    I've had the opposite experience with an A833OD. I run mine with a 3.21 rear gear and while I do wish for a better drop from 1 to 2, I think it is fine and drives great. Cruises at 65 @ 2000 rpm and does fine around town. There is better, no argument. But now that I am putting the T56 I...

    Anyone here own an ‘08-10 Mopar car and willing to help me with some config files?

    Got the ABS read! Looks like the circuit board is powered through the main power wires and the key-on wire is only a signal wire. Hooked power to to the smaller of the 2 and was able to connect. But first I pulled the motor and valve assembly so it didn't pull too much power for my benchtop...

    Things Change.. Butters is now getting a 392

    Pretty sure it wasn't a stock 392 in Hart's car. But I agree with being careful either way.

    12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

    Nice job. Looks like you are close to swinging it in? I would be a little nervous about the fuel pressure sensor developing a crack. Looks like it has a bit of a cantilever there.

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    I drive an A833OD so I don’t have an real input for you other than a thought. A 5 or 6 speed does more than just allow a deeper rear gear. It can also makes the splits better, just like AJ is saying. Simple math. I don’t remember the exact numbers, but I am pretty sure a 3.09 Commando box...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    I don’t know if he has run an A833OD, but I know @JBrian runs an A855. Maybe he would have some input, hopefully he sees this.
