    7 1/4 Can handle how much

    This actually has a Chrysler 7.25” Front Differential in it, based off of the 7.25” Rear you find in A Bodies. Knock on wood, I’ve been beating on it for a few years with a Turbo Diesel engine and 32x10.5-15” Tires and Fulltime AWD. Prior to the diesel it had a 5.2 Magnum and 30x9-15” Tires. I...

    Serious brain fart!!! Could it work??? Yall tell me!!!

    Somewhere between 16:1 and 21:1 Compression for most diesels. I haven't been inside many diesel engines, but I do know the 2.3L and 2.5L Turbo Diesels I ran in my D50 were right around 19.5:1 - 20:1 Compression ratio, and they had NO Combustion Chamber in the heads. The head surface was flat...

    225 Hemi head

    My bad its been a long time since I've hot-rodded a G54B, can't remember half the stuff I once knew about em. Looking at the stock 12 Valve head it could probably be done. The bore spacing is close to the 225 /6 and the bolt pattern looks similar. I'd attempt it, but I don't have any /6's...

    225 Hemi head

    What about Mitsubishi 2.6L / G54B / 4G54 Heads grafted together to get 6 cylinders? (Don't mind the Pulley on the back of the head, it came from a Caravan and the pulley was for the Power Steering Pump in FWD applications) They're a Crossflow Overhead Cam Aluminum Hemi Head, Pushrod...

    Homemade engine mounts

    Very nice. Biscuit to Spool "Conversion" Mounts. I should make a set of those for my '76 Ramcharger (72-93 Dodge trucks used the Biscuit style mounts) to convert it over to Spool Mounts.

    bellhousings

    If it's from a W250, that means it has a NP435 4-Speed (A833 was only used in some 2WD trucks, the NP435 was used in both 2WD & 4WD). So the bellhousing isn't going to work. They're a gigantic bell that isn't going to fit in an A-Body

    oil leaking around spark plugs flat 6

    1920's I believe, right around the time that Walter P Chrysler was head of Buick. Come to think of it, without the Dodge Brothers and (later on) Walter, there would be no Ford and the automotive world may never have progressed this far. The Dodge Brothers made the engines for Henry Ford and...

    oil leaking around spark plugs flat 6

    Yep. One cool thing about the old flatheads is, they've got Briggs & Stratton (Sub 7.5:1) Compression, which makes them popular to Boost. They're fairly stout motors, that produce max torque right off idle. And even with todays crap gas, its not uncommon to get 24 MPG (16-18 in town) out of...

    oil leaking around spark plugs flat 6

    The Flathead 6 (aka L Head) engines : 218, 230, 251, etc all use a 14mm Thread x 3/8" Reach Spark Plug with a Gasket Seat (Tapered Seat will not work, they do not seal on a Flathead) The Autolite 306's that were mentioned earlier are one of the correct plugs for the old Flatheads (I installed a...

    /6 in a Ramcharger???

    Actually, that's not true. The NP203 was in use in 1974 on the Ramcharger & Trailduster, with Automatics & Manuals (NP435, NP445, A250, and 727). In 1975 the 203 replaced the 205 on All Dodge Trucks, Manual and Automatic and was the only transfer case available in W100, 200 & 300 trucks...

    /6 in a Ramcharger???

    Dumptrucks generally had a NP435 4-Speed or NP540 5-Speed transmission with 4.88 ratio Gears and a Dana 70 Rear Axle. (D/W500+ trucks usually had a Rockwell Rear Axle, those gear ratios were in the 5.xx and 6.xx range. Sometimes they had 2-Speed Rear Axles) Gear Ratios in the Transmissions are...

    /6 in a Ramcharger???

    You could also get a 6 cylinder 6DR5 Diesel (factory option) in 1977-79 Ramchargers, Traildusters and Trucks. I have a 76 Ramcharger, with 77 Macho Ramcharger graphics/stripes. 318 / 435 4 speed / 203. Converted it to early 74 frameless style doors, with 72-75 metal door panels and a 72-73...

    Mechanical oil pressure gage help.

    If you find/discover that you don't have room to install the sender on the tee in the original location, you could always do like I did with my '84 D50. Back when it had a turbo diesel, I didn't have enough space to fit a Tee, Electric Sender & Line (For mechanical gauge), it hit the motor...
