    just rebuilt runs bad

    I gotta hang around for the end of this one. You dont say where your located. Maybe someone close that can drop by and assist. I'm bad about stopping by Oriellys to let the knowledgeable guys check things out with their meters. I'll be watching with great anticipation. Small Block

    are shumacker headers restrictive?

    Are Schumaker headers restrictive? There are more than likely headers out there that will give better flow and give you that extra shave on your ET's down the quarter but consider this. If your running your car on the street and your concerned about a little better time then maybe you need to...

    O.K. Splitter, here's my suggestion. I bailed off into this myself with very minimal knowledge of the project , but by researching here's what i did.

    Hemi Dart Question ?

    In 68 there was a dart made and fitted with a Hemi and it was coded the LO23 Super Stock Dodge. The Hemi with a 4 speed had a Dana 60 rear end. The Hemi fitted with an automatic had an 8.75 rear end. Seems like the total number of LO23 coded darts was around 80 or so. What gear ratio did the...

    318 performance

    Don't sell that 318 short. Plentiful and can be made to run like a scaulded dog. Yep, there are those that will say build a 340 or 360 but if you already have a 318 it can be fun. Add some heads and bump the comp a tad and throw on a set of headers, intake, carb and duals and you're good to go...

    How much to build engine?

    Dig Deep !! But you get what you pay for. I have $8000 in my complete running 70 model 440. That's in the car with all things to make it run. The build is one thing but when you get it home you have to dump more money in it to make it driveable such as headers, wires, alt, pullys and the list...

    Head Pics-do they look OK?

    Don't know about your area but Oriellys has a machine shop here and they are not the worst on the block at this sort of thing. Fairly reasonable too. Clean em and have em checked.

    Hood clearance?

    On a 73 duster i have installed a 440 with schumaker mounts and a Mopar Performance breather on top of a 750 Demon carb and from what i'm seeing the original hood just wont fit and close. Original K member. Short of cutting a hole in hood and putting on a scoop what other options have i got...

    Fuel Price ??

    I like to spike my tank in some of my cars with 110 octane racing fuel because it runs better and sometimes i go full strength. You can sure tell the difference. I just paid $299.60 for a barrel of 110 octane which comes to about $6 per gallon or $5.55 to be exact. What's the price where you...
