    727 front pumps

    Can anybody tell me the differences between early and late front pumps for our 727s? I am working on rebuilding my 727 but my front pump is trashed. I got my hands on one from a Ram but it's probably a '77-80. Any idea if this would for me? Thanks

There are specific starters listed on TTI's...

    Re-pin vs splice

    I will be running a 5.7 with a megasquirt harness and MS3 comp. My question is, can you get new pins to re-pin the factory plugs? And is it worth it to do so? Also, does anybody have a lead on replacement plugs? The ones for my oil sensor and crank sensor seem to have disappeared...

    where to buy? -- single exhaust valve, single lifter, set of pushrods

    Which intake would be best to use on my 5.7? I intended to keep EFI and it's a truck motor. Do the truck and car intakes swap or do they interfere? How's hood clearance with the intake you recommend?

    Whirling/Squealing from 727 -- help!

    Here recently my Dart has started to make a rather high pitched whirling/winning noise. At first I suspected the rear brakes but they have all new hardware, and don't show any unusual wear. The brakes never get hot and there are no out-of-place shiny spots on the drums. While cruising with some...

    Is it worth it?

    I think I have a lead on an '03 truck 5.7. Apparently it broke a valve spring and dropped a valve. He's asking $150 for the engine. It looks like it might have the wiring harness, but no accessories. If it did drop a valve, how much do you think it would cost to repair? Gaskets, valve, spring...

    Noise from rear after 8 3/4 swap

    So I just finished swapping an 8 3/4 into my Dart. I was pretty excited to get to drive her again :D :D :D Drove around for a while without being to hard and thought I could gear a little bit of a noise coming from out back.

    An 86-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly check-up. The doctor asked him how he was feeling, and the 86-year-old said, 'Things are great and I've never felt better. I now have a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. So what do you think about that Doc?" The...

    1964-'66 Barracuda to be parted... what's worth saving?

    A friend of mine has a Barracuda that he rolled going down the interstate several years ago. He's thinking about letting it go because he's tired of paying for storage. I asked him about the manual steering/column on it and he said he's to the point that he'd rather sell it as a whole car. I'm...

    Porting BB heads

    I'm looking at porting a set of BB heads for the 451 I'm building. I have a set of 346 and 906 castings if I remember right. Since there isn't really much difference between the castings I will probably go with the set that looks the best. I've done some reading and researching but, since this...

    Steering Options

    I'm looking for opinions on the various steering systems based on a few parameters. I have a rather tight budget, but have decided to build a 451 from a 400 block that I have. My problem is that headers are going to be a 'must have' for this engine, but steering plays a large part on my...

    Starter Options

    My starter is going out. It keeps jamming and is just being a royal pain. My question is, what should I use to replace it? I've heard of people using modern starters with no problem. Are any modifications to put a starter from a 98ish Dodge Ram/Dakota on my 318/727 combo with headers? How do...
