    68 Dart 440 Daily Driver Build Thoughts

    Firstly, welcome to the board. Daily driver ? My buddy had a 69 Charger r/t with a mildly worked over engine...even babying the car, he never got 10 mile to the gallon...much worse if he played with the loud pedal... I would hate feeding it at $1.44 a litre.. Grassy

    Speakin' of 440 fuel economy.

    David, I have no idea. This was before I got into MOPARS. I bought it as a company truck. I had a friend that the same truck with a 6. His gas millage was so bad that Revenue Canada declined his gas expense..he had to go back to Chrysler to get a letter confirming his gas millage. When I...

    Speakin' of 440 fuel economy.

    ...my 318 in my 2W RAM made high 30s..no ****. I documented it because folks wouldn't believe me. Before I bought it, it pulled a 5th wheel trailer. So It was a major surprise to me that me /6 couldn't do better than 17 with a lot of fiddling.

    water pump housing bolts

    I know there is a big argument out there but sometimes I use lock washers as well. Plus blue or red locktite.. I just want to do the assembly once :) Oh, and for those places that I know will have to be taken apart, I use anti seize. I think this car is going to be within the family for a...

    water pump housing bolts

    Having taken one original, non molested mopar completely apart I can only say that the use of washers seems to be random sometimes. When I am installing parts again, I add washers :) As one member said, there is a lot of r&d goes into these things..perhaps Dodge did a study.... is there...

    big block vs. smal block

    I really don't know enought to talk about this intelligently but was told this on this board when I was talking about my friend sticking a 440 in his scamp.. However, I suspect that gas mileage will be different..and lastly, crowds are fickle..one day they like this and another day something...

    big block vs. smal block

    I am told that you can make a 360 more powerful than a BB and have the weight savings..360s are still plentiful and you can get just abount anything (power wise) for them..my vote 360 :)

    340 or 360???

    I had a 318 literally self distructed at 170K with better than standard care because I was hauling a 4500 lb trailer with 1500 lb in the box..my new hemi ram is awesome.. I had heard that the 340s were more tempermental and required more fiddling...I bought my car as an unfinished project...
