What's special about that site? Looks like an abandoned remnant from a decade ago. If anyone likes to start a Mopar-gallery website, I have the domain name "moparbucket.com" available.

Not if you "bore it to the max" as mentioned. You never bore for cubic inches. You bore to get rid of wear. Boring removes rigidity from the cilinders.

Change the alternator for a more modern one so it also charges when idling for a long period on a rainy day in a traffic jam, with headlights, wipers, heaterfan, soundsystem and brakelights on. Change the starter for an '80s starter for less weight, quicker cranking rpm. Change the battery for...

I daily drive my '73 Dart in the Netherlands. Been doing so since 6 years. Used to drive a '67 Newport for about 10 years way before that. Maintenance is key. Replace anything worn or shabby that can leave you stranded and replace/upgrade with better stuff. Forget originality. Especially the...

I rather have both...

We don't have oak trees in my street but the trees that leak sticky stuff do their best to mess up your car bad. But, one good rainshower and the stuff is gone.

Funny this thread pops up... Was just thinking about video the startup of my own car too today. It stayed with thinking about it :D

Ripped the vinyl of the roof of my Dart today which I installed some 6 years ago.

It's not my book ;) Just found an image on the internet of it.

Colors matched with the parts manual at the time to identify the different parts lines they had going?

If you want something on eBay, you don't start bidding like a moron the moment you see it. You wait until just before the end of the auction, see if the price is still in your range and place the bid you think it's worth to you.

Interesting thread...

0w20 Synth oil in my late '80s roller 318.

Visiting ebay.com will show the discount and code on the slidebanner too. I used it to get a set of solid lifters and pushrods.

"Correctly" by who and how exactly? "Distributor TV" ? Also, a cam break-in isn't done with synthetic oil usually.

The effectiveness of a small lip can be debated, but it does look good. But there are also reasons these things are made of ABS-plastic. Costs, weightsavings and speedbump/driveway damage are a few of them.

I've installed rollered buttons and also made nylon button ones myself. Wasn't quite impressed with the rollered buttons (I had), thinking if they fail you'd have a crap load of small metal parts being flung around near the timing chain. I seem to have more faith in the nylon buttons.

You only want to tpc to delay shifts. Keeping shifter in the gear you want results in the same thing. If you want to shift down a gear, just pull the shifter back a notch. Unless of course you really want to do all this the hard way! :) :)

Nr. 4. solution: It's called a console shifter. Does everything you asked. Using it everyday. :)

OEM's 'have' to run turbo's because they need to use undersized engines which need to be driven with the trottle opened up fairly wide in order to increase mileage. That's easier to do with a turbo. Now how about that OEM Hellcat Hemi? :)

From what I've gathered over the years about turbo's, is that they usually 'take out' and cost you some pistons or a complete engine, until you learn to tune it correctly and stop trying to find the limits. :)

I chose this below... but have hardly time to finish it like I want;

The last 5 cars I bought were all done online with me sitting on my *** many miles away from the US across the pond. I only transfer money when I feel confident I'm actually getting a car in return. Only once I had the feeling I took a too big risc when I bought a car but it all turned out good...

Superchargers work more direct as they are crank driven. Turbo's need some time before they spool up and start to work. But with proper turbo-sizing you can almost fix that. As a result, superchargers always 'eat' power from the engine even when they are not pressurizing the intake charge.

Sorry to hear you got conned by another creep of society. Everything looks dry as a bone in that engine. I would take it all apart and assemble it properly, and along the way look for stuff to be upgraded. If it's going to be a racer, have crank assembly balanced. 10 second car? I would look...

Instead of just guessing and keep throwing money at it by replacing stuff, I think you should do some testing instead. If there's fuel entering the engine and spark at the plugs, it could be the spark is too weak or timing is way off. - How much voltage is at the coil with the ignition ON? -...

Depends on the intended use of the car; If you have limited driving skills your car will probably not get modified past the dragracing-level, so engine-power would be important. If you plan to daily drive the car, steering and suspension/handling would be nice to be modernized a bit. Followed by...

All rpm speeds were taken with transmission in 3rd gear? Find out your rear axle ratio first.

Think in percentages. How much percent fast/slow is the gauge compared to real speed? Add/substract the percentage of teeth on the gear to correct. Adding teeth slows the speedo down. Use a gps speedometer to geet the actual speed, and not something from a book, internet site or slideruler.

One of the last, still at least 'somewhat' decent looking models from the '70s. Blackout the interior and things get a lot better. I've had a rusted pile of '77 Charger which had really nothing going on for it in the looks department. The rust didn't help either of course :) 1977 Dodge Charger
