Bummer we didn't get a chance to meet. I saw you driving through the parking lot once though. I was only getting 18mpg but I was definitely going more than 65 the whole time ;) I have a 22 inch 2 row aluminum radiator with a Mishimoto slim fan and a homemade shroud. It just barely fits but...

I'm leaving Thursday to go camping in Chiricahua MN. I'll cruise over to Tucson on Friday afternoon. I know quite a few people that are going so if you see my car, a big white Caddy ElDorado, or a bunch of Crown Vics come on over because I'll probably be around them. Oh, and we should...

I have a super six w/ 2.76 gears. Dyno'd at 95 hp/135ft.lbs to the wheels. I ran at Tucson last year and I'm going again this year. I don't remember exact numbers and the only difference is that I have an electric fan now so hopefully that will cut it down from 19.8X to 19.8x ;)

What's the story on the seats in the 67? I could use them in my daily. My seats are trashed. I have blankets over them so I don't end up covered in cotton every day. ;)

My curb idle is only 550 (in park) which puts it around 450 in gear. It idles nice and smooth...Would I have any benefit kicking it up to 650 (in P)?

I've used one similar to what Rusty posted (autozone version) on my Crown Vic with great success (at least 30K since the repair). The tap cuts the new hole and threads it, no drilling required and it can be done without removing the head. That is on aluminum heads though, I don't know if cast...

What I've noticed is that when you have one, you can't give it away; if you need one, they are nowhere to be found. :)

Mine always runs right on the low side of normal as well even when its 90+ outside. I have a new radiator and hoses, the water pump and thermostat are about 6 months old and I'm pretty sure its a 195* stat.

Talking to the Dyno operator I told him my estimate was 80hp and 130ft/lbs. He said, "That's quite a bold prediction." and he said most of the slants he's done are around 60-70hp. He also said that the carburation was perfect and my afr was exactly where he likes to see it.

For those that don't want to read the long version (but you should), here is the short one: Engine came in poor shape in my first car, a 71 Duster. It has been swapped into a few other cars since. Now, over 20 years later, it resides in in my 67 Dart that is my daily driver. I have a GM Hei...

Here's the backstory on the engine: In 1995 living in rural Wyoming I bought my first car, a 71 Duster. This 225 was the original engine and I was told it had been "rebuilt 50K ago" (I believe that about as much as I do the "ran when parked" line), it was in poor condition. One plug wire was...

It seems to be automatically resizing them. The gist of it is 94 hp & 154 ftlbs

Alright, let me try again.

We brought in a mobile dyno today. I ran the Dart. What do you guys think? It put up better numbers than I thought it would.

It may or may not have a bolt. It is a press fit and the bolt is just used to press the pulley onto the crank. Once that is done, it is no longer needed and apparently a lot of slants left the factory without them. What you need to do to remove it is get a puller and there should be a few...

pre-'76 slants have a forged crank and I doubt you'll break one but if you want stronger, industrial and heavy-duty trucks usually got forged shotpeened cranks.

Yep, that's the one I got.

Here's the part #of the one I got: ACDelco 337-1096

I agree, great story and sounds like you got a really good deal. Do you mind posting some pictures?

So, I ordered a new AC Delco starter for a '95 Ram 1500 for $75 on Amazon and it showed up today so I threw it on. It bolted right up and the only difference is that the lugs are closer to the block but there's still plenty of clearance for the cables. When I jumped back in and turned the...

Dude, seriously? That's like the best quote ever...I'm stealing that and using it as my own. lol

Sounds like the new motor is a pre-67 and your trans is 67 up. That's when they changed the size of the crank register.
