It's a good looking car too. Kind of like a Oldsmobile 442 and a Chevelle love child. :thumbsup:

My neighbor has a 1971 Buick GS 455 stage 1. You are correct it is "One bad mutha!" It sounds so good too.. brutal would describe it :thumbsup:

Yes. I still have a set on one of my cars. But I never understood why they called them "econo". Nothing about them are econo because you still need the expensive rocker set up. They do have two sets of bolt holes for the exhaust but the manifold ports are a terrible mismatch so you need...

I thought all of the W5 heads had the rocker stands milled off. I've only had one set and they were but I did buy them used.

Mopar Performance P4529270AE Mopar Performance Purple Camshaft Kits | Summit Racing Mopar Performance Camshafts - Free Shipping on Orders Over $109 at Summit Racing Or do they? They all say "Not Available At This Time"

That's what I thought

Does Mopar Performance even makes purple camshafts anymore?

It can be done but not cheap. LA heads on Magnum block?

Magnum block versus la oil filter adapter Oil filter mounting???????? They are different between the LA and Magnum engines. Just get the correct plate.

My Dakota is a 1997. Had a tired 3.9 with 226000 on the clock. That 3.9 was a turd. Super clean truck no rust anywhere at all. Inside is perfect. I did the V8 swap and love it. Completely different truck now. That 5.9 is a great engine.

I just rebuilt one and put it in my Dakota. It was out of a 2001 as well. Bottom end looked great. Did not have to bore it. Cleaned up and reused the same pistons and rings. Put in new rod and main bearings just because I was there. Cam and cam bearings were wiped and both heads were cracked. I...

Depends on the block. The last two I did came to "0" but one was decked .0.20"

Small block and rev the snot out of it! Heads and RPM, you win!

I've bought them off ebay even cheaper. Just got to keep looking.

I have built at least four 360 engines using those pistons. No rebalancing is needed. I went as far as having my machine shop check them out and he told me that they are the same weight as the stock pistons. He told me what they did was move some of the material from the skirt to the top of the...

Nothing wrong with those rocker arms. They are tough as nails.

Dura-Bond FKP-1 Dura-Bond Engine Hardware Finishing Kits | Summit Racing Summit Racing has them. I would put it back in myself.

If it's a nice truck I'd swap a 5.2 or 5.9 magnum into it. It's the easiest engine swap in the world.

I think I have replaced every 3.9 timing chain in north east Ohio in my 36 plus year at a Chrysler dealership. If it's a 3.9 with even 12 thousand miles it will be noisy. Those thing are like a paint shaker.

Beat me to it. I have not had any problems with their lifters. Hard to get I'm sure. But I will never use anything Comp again.

LOL a red X for something I know has never been a problem. I'll take that with a grain of salt. :thumbsup:

Mine has been running for 25 years like that. I don't think there is a problem.

Those are Mopar Performance hold downs made by Crane

Very interesting video. Still blows me away they ran that kind of speeds on bias belted tires.

In a truck or a cruiser with a small cam who cares. It will run good and you don't need high RPM anyway.

Good heads can make any engine come alive... Bad heads can kill it

They look like .030 over stock replacement pistons to me

Parts are all over ebay but you'll have more money in it than you get the newer style for. If you just have to have the old style then go for it. They are not hard to rebuild.

Not to mention those old starters weight a ton
