    obd ipad dash

    Yes I know what OBD is but I ment I don't know if RealDash works with it. Other than that I have no experience with it because all my stuff is older.

    Not sure about OBD but have a look at RealDash. The appmaker has a Mopar as well.

    MPG Motor Magnum vs. Hemi

    AJ, I have checked/confirmed some valves start to hang open (hot) with .005" (cold) lash. From digesting information from various sources I've gathered that hydraulic cam 'ramps' are actually quicker, because they are made with the presumption that the lifter is already in contact (preloaded)...

    MPG Motor Magnum vs. Hemi

    I tried to build this engine with LPG in mind, so a healthy compression ratio, polished chambers and ports, full length headers, cold air intake and Edelbrock AirGap to keep the charge cool. The stall convertor is a big 12"(?) unit made in the '60s (non-lockup, for stock 727s out of a C-body)...

    MPG Motor Magnum vs. Hemi

    AJ, Lots of fun facts to digest. The 360 is a LA indeed. Used it with 1.6 rockers at first but went to 1.5 Cranes later. Quench height is around .028-.030". I ran the cam with hydraulic lifters converted to solids as the hydraulic lifters kept collapsing. A cam change might be in the works in...

    MPG Motor Magnum vs. Hemi

    AJ, help is much appreciated. I've only driven with this 360 engine (and cam) for about 3 weeks. And had 3 tank fill ups. But till now the mileage has been the same with the bone stockish 318 ('88 block w/ stock rollercam) and early '80s "302"-heads. I have no issues with swapping cams, but if...

    MPG Motor Magnum vs. Hemi

    MPG is calculated the same as with gasoline... Liquid propane tanked versus miles driven. I've got a phone-app which I use to keep track of the mileage for over a number of years now. Great (or not) to see mileage rise or (usually) drop based on outside temp differences or (sometimes) changes on...

    MPG Motor Magnum vs. Hemi

    After I had installed the res.valves I noticed the front wheels where always hard to rotate by hand when jacked up. Too hard to be 'right'. Now that I removed the front res.valves again I notice just a slight drag just a like any other car has. My mileage ranged between 10 and 11mpg. Around 9.5...

    MPG Motor Magnum vs. Hemi

    I'm of the same opinion. I've been driving and tuning a 318ci in my dailydriven Dart for well over 5 years and hardly got the mileage to improve noticably. I've now got my 11.3:1cr 360ci installed in the car which has a significant amount of power more but the mileage is still the same. The...

    MPG Motor Magnum vs. Hemi

    You could connect the 2 tanks with a lower feed and upper vent line so you can use and fill them together at the same time. As the stock tank is upright and probably higher than your 2nd tank, it will always properly flow into the 2nd tank with the fuelpump. A guy running Imperial Services used...

    MPG Motor Magnum vs. Hemi

    Where are you going to put the gastank? The wagon's stock tank is designed upright in the left rear fender. You'll have to sacrifice the rear 'basement' sparewheel area. Don't forget the transmission detent spring and lever has to changed/modified for the pushbutton gearselector to work...
