Hard to wrap my mind around just how many disassembled Mopars it took to create such a parts stash!!

Cody Reich of "E-bodies dot org" created a '70 build sheet decoder, and it works pretty darn good. Your car is a '71, but I bet Cody's creation will probably pick out most of the primary codes for you. Give it a shot here 1970 mopar build sheet broadcast decoder

Ain't that the truth!! :poke:

Funny! :lol:

Yeah, the "new" Dart didn't last long But the new V6 in an old A-body is something I would like to see too!

Scott, a FABO member ("michformulaS"), lives in Midland and is a super nice guy. Went out to Midland and met him last year. Maybe he can help you out with what you need looked at??

Actually it doesn't look all that bad - for 30 years ago before the prevalence of modern oils. But now with modern oils, you're right, it should look cleaner inside. If it is running half way decent, I wouldn't tear into any more than I needed to. Try some detergent oil additive that you add to...

That tag codes out to one beauty of a car! That is exactly what I have been looking for - a 273HP 4-speed Formula S fastback Barracuda! Nice catch! Bottom row from the left: BH29: Barracuda fastback (obviously) 32: The "E-code" 273 4-bbl HP motor 3: 4-speed trans 285: the tire code, I...

That Polara 500 Maxie was at the 2014 MCACN show in Chicago. No doubt it is a beauty for sure. Owner had some great display boards for the car too. Per one of the display boards, the "Tri-Y" manifold was developed, but never offered for sale because in 1964 the drag race sanctioning body (NHRA I...

The other day there was an ad for a 2010 Furious Fuchia Challenger RT in what I thought was the FABO Classifieds section. Told the wife about it and when I went to show her the ad, I couldn't find it, it was gone, poof! Thought maybe I was confused about where I saw it and that maybe it was over...

Yes he did indeed ... the more I look at it the more I like it ... okay, I want it! Where is it now and who has it? :blob:

That's freakin' awesome just the way it is! :prayer: FM3 looks great on that car and I love the Shaker mod! I would love to be rockin' that ride, and the best part would be that I wouldn't have to worry about catching any grief from the wife about it (she loves pink!)!

I'm one of those guys that does better with a visual representation of what we are talking about ... There, that's better! Love me some Max Wedge! Now back to the conversation ...

Hey, for a buck-fifty you had to get it ... that's a veritable "bargain" now a days. Speaking of "now a days", it seems that a decent "it was just running last year" motor and trans today generally costs you ...

Great pic! New technique for breaking the pistons free from the bores? And here I am thinking that only Marvel Mystery Oil could possibly get the job done!

Me too! Would love me some blown Hemi Wilys coupe! I love this one! Okay, maybe that's reaching a bit too far ... Me too! Would love me a '64 Plymouth (Sport Fury, Belvedere, or even a Savoy) - especially a Max Wedge, or Max Wedge clone! I love this one! Okay, that might be reaching a...

Don't know as I have never been. From what I hear, it is what the Mopar Nats use to be back in the day. I'm going this year to check it out. Hope I won't be disappointed like I have become with the Nats.

I hear you! In a field of trailer-queens cars like that are an anomaly and that makes them interesting. Three, maybe four years ago I went to Monster Mopar here in St Louis (the next to the last year that they had it here before it imploded) and there was an unrestored '70 Hemi Challenger RT out...

I'm sure that it is an absolutely obscene amount!! :wack: It has spiraled completely out of control. A far cry from when a guy with modest resources could be competitive at that level. Now those guys (like "The Greek", etc.) are brought in to fill out the field and be nothing more than cannon...

I often found myself wishing that Ma-Mopar would have offered different versions of their engines like the General did. The General offered three different versions of the 396 (four if you count the lowly 265hp 2-barrel L66) in power ratings of 325hp, 350hp and 375hp. Would have been nice if Ma...

Actually the 361 has the same stroke (3.38") as all the other B engines (350, 361, 383, and 400). Surprisingly there are a lot of them around. The 361 came out in 1958 and was available in cars thru 1966(?). But it wasn't dead after that as it hung around as a truck and industrial engine for...

:sign5: too funny (but true!)

Anyway ... back to the original purpose of the thread ... Scamp, you got anything else that you are throwing in on the deal? Are the heads complete with valves, shafts and rockers? Got the crank dampner and flexplate? Any manifolds? etc., etc.?

So are they "J" heads? Is it literally just the block, crank, rods, and heads? Or do you also have some of the minor parts for it too - timing chain cover, crank dampner, etc., etc.? Is it still greasy from just being pulled apart? Or is it rusty from sitting for decades in a garage? Or, better...

OK, the side-pipes I get ... but no yellow traction bars or Accel plug wires?? Not too many things say "old-school" like a set of yellow slapper-style tractions bars - just look at the post after yours and previous to mine! :D

That is part of the problem right there. 14"-15" tires are so "old school" you can hardly find them anymore - if at all! BTW, I liked the OP's opening post to this thread ... I was like "yeah!, I like that stuff too!" I read on and in a later post I found out that we are only a year apart in age...

Thanks for all the input! I knew you guys would set me straight on all the nuances of the various Dart trims. Used that new found knowledge when I went to look at a '69 Dart GT 'vert that was for sale here in the greater St Louis area. The 340 that was transplanted into it was stout - it was...

If I'm reading that 69 Dealer Data book correctly, did the "Road-Runner" style hood only come standard only on the GTS and the Swinger 340? Could you get the 340 in a GT? Or if you ordered the 340 did it bump the trim level up to the GTS simply because you ordered the 340? and what about the...

Found this Dodge Dealer Data Book on Barry Washington's Hamtramck Historical website http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/dealerships/1969DealershipDataBook-05.shtml As usual, Barry has a lot of good stuff over there on his site. Anyway, the Data Book gives a brief overview of the different trim...

Good-googley-moogley! It's more complex than I thought! I'm going to have to print out a little "cheat-sheet" when I go looking! Gonna go out on a limb here - can you guys post some pics so I can get a visual on the trim? Lets start with the 69's for now. If we go posting up pics of all three...
