old 383 Dart would start on what seemed like one cylinder, then another would kick in and sooner or later it would be purring at fast idle. that's when I'd kick it down and take off. probably 3 minutes or so.

I can see this being a use what you have on hand to do the job. Could it have been done better? Yes. Is it running and driveable? Did it put a smile on his face when he took it out for the first drive? I'll bet it did! Maybe not done to everbodies standards but it is done well enough for the...

does that rival Hot Rod's hose clamps for the transmission mount on Cheap Thrills?

BOAT- break out another thousand

Sorry to hear of all the tragedy in your life. Hope you are staying healthy. Sounds like you are keeping busy!

You're welcome!

fuel pump comes off, plug removed, fuel pump push rod falls out. fuel pump push rod rides on eccentric on cam. may be hardened because stock ones will eventually wear done and engine low on power. reassemble in reverse.

where did the 66 go? BTW, looks nice!

IF you are using the straight axle, I believe a friend had mocked up an inexpensive pair of B-body headers. He did however,have the engine set back.

sounds like the old BBC trick. put oval port intake on rect. port heads to gain a little torque or put rect port intake on oval port heads to pick up hp.

How about a hydraulic throw-out bearing?

IF you had extras, you could make one. I used flat stock that was cut and welded for the lower portion. It ended up being three pieces welded. I put holes where the rods would go because I was going to use rod ends. I might be able to find it in short order if you'd like pictures or...

I can understand the flying tools...that stopped when one decided to boomerang back and nearly hit me.

I guess another thing to do is measure the thickness of the original mount set-up to what is on there now. It's difficult to visualize without pictures. is it possible the trans mount shifted while changing the engine mounts?

How thick were the rubber biscuits over the solid Moroso mounts? Put shims under the mounts to raise it back to the original position or make thicker solid mounts?

I think the Max Wedge size Stage 6's would work on larger engines.But then again, use what you have and prove the experts wrong. Kinda like some BBC's that use oval port heads that aren't supposed to work...As they say,it's the combination and if it's matched it'll go!

not that I have any experience in these matters,however, reading the BBM book talked about heads and cubic inches. If I remember correctly,the Indy SR and Stage 6 would be fine up to 470"(?). IF the Procomps were considered a large port, then those would work. It's been awhile since I've flipped...

Off topic reply warning! straight axle gasser motorhome?

I "think" where the holes were drilled should have been bosses. My 69 440 was put together so the mount was fabricated. I don't remember on my 68 GSS.

would the 2 knubs above the oil pump mounting have been drilled and taped? looks kinda home made IMO. but you could be right.

NOS Mopar Pitman Arm 1968-9 Plymouth & Dodge A Body Big Block Cars - Hiltop Auto Parts could be part of the problem?

Sneak Peek: The Engine Jon Kaase Is Bringing to Engine Masters 2018

Sal, good talking with you this afternoon. I look forward to meeting you this season. Bob

yes on the cam and possibly on the car. does it have a 4.10 8-1/4" rear end? rear wheels 14"? bucket seats from a mid-70's Charger? when is the first Tuesday nite show?

choices would be 528,557,or 590 lift. I believe that was all your choices from Mopar.

do you have a dial indicator? measure movement off lifter and multiply times rocker ratio. hyd. or solid lifters? If you need a hand, I'm nearby in Darien. it would be good to see the old car again. wasn't mine, but knew some of the owners. does it still have the Dart Sport nose?

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but the 6 cylinder harness is more big block friendly than a small block unit. Maybe the distributor and coil leads would need to be lengthened.

Mechanical fuel pump? Check the pushrod for the pump to see if its excessively worn. Even a stock 440 will breath much better with a 750cfm carb.

if you measure at the valve, hasn't the rocker arm already multiplied the lift by 1.5?
