NICE motor and nice numbers. Kurt does GREAT work!!!! I live in Portsmouth and am a member of the TMC. I actually went to high school in Williamsburg (Lafayette). But speaking of Kurt at Magnum Machine; he is currently building me a stroked 440. A 543 using 440 Source stroker kit, Stealth...

I feel your pain. I just had someone compromise my bank/debit card this week. It was ugly, but could have been MUCH worse. I too HATE a thief. You feel violated. Glad it wasn't worse for you and I hope the guilty are caught and held accountable. Hope you can recoupe through insurance/and or...

We meet now at our new sponsor, Hall Dodge In Va Beach. Having a Christmas party Dec 9th at 7:00 pm. We'd love to have you and any/all mopar owners!! More info on the web site. Great talking to you. I've perused this site for years, just never joined/posted until recently. I'm usually on...

I see they rented cars. I wonder if they would rent a '71 hemi cuda. No that would have been fun!!! Matt B.

There's pros and cons to both. Auto for racing consistency. Manual for fun. I love a manual for all the reasons stated, but hate it in stop and go traffic. I'd still rather have a 4 speed in my Barracuda. You also lose more HP in the automatic drivetrain...

That's a great score. I don't think there's anything crazy about taking a road trip for Mopar stuff. I drove from VA to PA for a complete (drum to drum) "A" body 8 3/4 rear end with a 3:91 posi unit. I even made it a weekend deal and made an overnight stay. It was a steal at $400.00 bucks!! Nice...

Thanks. I was looking at your profile and see you are an antiques dealer. I owned and operated an antique shop in Portsmouth for about 5 years. I still have the antiques, but no shop. Small world. Don't know if you are familiar with the Tidewater Mopar Club. I've been a member there for years...

I bet it would take a JUMBO poop bag to clean up after him!! LOL Just think how big a mess it would be if he had an "accident" on your carpet!! Matt B.

If it were my money, I'd be concerned that the seller would start charging me storage or worse, sell the car. Was there a bill of sale and the total amount spelled out?? Whatever you decide, I would definitely put it in writing, have it notarized and mail it registered mail. Be friendly but...

Hey John, Looks like we're from the same neck of the woods!! I went to elementary school in Newport News. That was many moons ago!! You got good taste in cars!! Matt B.

I think I see some "plumbers" crack there!!! Matt B.

Now that there is funny, I don't care who you are!!! Matt B.

What kind/size of carb are you running. Is it mechanical or vacuum advance??. Are you using an electric fuel pump or mechanical. Got good fuel pressure?? Any vacuum leaks?? Stock or aftermarket ignition?? Is your coil putting out good voltage? I'm with checking timing first also. Make sure...

I have a TERRIBLE time with rats in my garage. It seems as soon as I put down Decon, they eat it, die and in short order there's another rat in the garage. I live in the south on a marsh, so it's attractive to rodents. I have found a product called "Shake-Away". It is amazing and works well to...

I have a set of new in the box Yukon Axle shafts for an A body 8 3/4. They have the large bolt pattern and require green bearings. Cost me around 300 bucks. I'll sell them for $200.00 Matt B.

Sad news indeed. I can't say with honesy that I never street raced, but I never did with my kids in the car. Obviously a horrible thing to have to live with should the father survive. Makes you think twice about street racing. Even if he had no one in the car, he lost control and could have hit...

I think for the most part, that this isn't the doing of OPEC. Not to say OPEC isn't a bunch of greedy money whores, but the real culprit here is the gas station owners that filled their tanks a week ago, but are jacking up the prices by the hour on the same gas that was delivered a week ago!! A...

Ther's some good responses and I like them. I think a low deck 400 stroked to 451 (or bigger) is a very viable option. Ease of installation and LOTS of power potential for not too much money. Definitely a stick!! 4-wheel disc brakes. Maybe an alter-k-tion front end. Runs on pump gas. Dana 60 out...

Are you just talking about a leaking valve cover gasket?? Matt B.

Man, I love those colors. I've got a Challenger in the same color combo. Sweeeet!!! Matt B.

Makes em sail a little better. Clay kitties are better than clay pigeons!! LOL Matt B.

That is one cool looking rig. I would imagine someone that is a die hard biker enthusiast might like to take his last ride in it!! Thanks for sharing the pics!! Matt B.

Dud, That thing is wicked awesome!! I loved the video. thanks for sharing and good luck with it on the track!! Matt B.

The most efficient highway gear set Chrysler made was the 2:76. At least for the 8 3/4 rear end. I am not sure about the 7 1/4 or 8 1/4 rear ends. I currently have a 742 case 8 3/4 rear end with a 2:76 gear set. I would think you should be able to find one for your 3rd member. Randy's Ring &...

Man, There are some really sweet looking car interiors. I've gotta get around here on this site and look at the pics!! I like pictures!! Here's a few of my interior. Matt B.

I agree with the general consensus here on trying to sell a drag car. The car is beautiful. If you want top dollar, I would suggest making it street legal/friendly by installing a street gear (say 3:91), street tires and sell it as a pro-street car. It shouldn't cost too much and the cost would...

OK, I'll try to post some pics here!! Here goes!! Hope they turn out!! The car was restored in 2003. Unfortunately the car wasn't properly prepped for paint and now has began to bubble. Like I said it's a driver and I enjoy doing donuts and burnouts!!:-D Enjoy...

Hi guys, I've been around this site along with others like Bigblockdart.com and cuda-challenger.com. So I decided to get off the can & register!! I have several Mopars and have owned various ones since high school. My current "A" body is a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda notchback. It's canary yellow...
