Well I hope it all works out, I talked to him many times at swap meets and told him I really liked their parts and what they were doing. He has some great stuff, it’d be a damn shame if somebody don’t buy it. I’d love to know what he’s asking.

ok, who knows what’s going on with Schumacher? They have discontinued a lot of items and are perpetually back ordered on most others and somebody on one of the other groups I’m in said he had offered to sell him the company. So is he going bankrupt? Are they on the way out? That would be a shame...

That would be the water pump housing

Yeah, back in the day we had a set of heads we ported all the way into the water jackets and push rod holes and we built them up with Devcon and raced them for years. I thought about trying that on this one. I gave $50 for the 440 block and 2 cast cranks and the block has ARP main bolts. 440...

i got this 440 block basically free and was wondering if anyone had ever run a block with a similar problem

Back when I first met my wife I had been a bachelor for 30 years so my house was full of car parts. I came home from work one day and she had set a Magnesium Hemi Cross Ram with carbs and a complete 71-440 six pack set up out in the driveway behind the house. I couldn't really get mad but we had...

Yeah, back then we were still working on the 60's hot rodder mentality where you just take your welder and make things work. I had a buddy who at 16 dropped a 392 Hemi in a Falcon with a straight axle.

Big blocks an easy swap in those. Schumacher makes the mounts.

Yeah, a buddy of mine had a small block 4 speed Volare Wagon he used to street race, no cage or anything and it just looked like a beater. It would carry the front wheels for the first 50 feet or so.

Hey Greymouser7 if you have some of those pedals let me know.

I know the wagon is no different than the 4 door, both have 112 wheelbase. The floor humps not a problem since the floor is rusty anyway and I'm using a super shifter that you have to modify the hump for anyway. So pedals are one of the parts I need to aim for? What are you asking on yours? This...

i have a chance to buy this 76 Volare wagon that's already set up for a small block and automatic. I was wondering how hard it is to change it over to a 4 speed? I've done A,B, and E bodies but never a Volare. I already have the blowproof, A body 833, Centerforce clutch, and a Hurst Super...

I don't think motor mounts would be much of a challenge, exhaust maybe but anything is do able, when I was younger a couple of local guys had a 426 Hemi in a Gremlin that they raced at the drag strip, if a Hemi will fit anything else should be easy.

I've looked at a couple of Gremlins and other AMC's and it looks like the engine bay is pretty roomy on most of them.

I know that they made kits to put everything in Jeeps back in the day but never Small Block Mopar's. I don't know if it would even be worth doing but I like having stuff that nobody else is gonna show up in.

I was thinking it might be too much but the guy only wants $375 for the Jeep, it kind of hard to pass up. Probably handle like a fuel altered. I also found a Jeep Overlander for about a $1000. It might be a better choice.

i have a 408 that needs a home and while shopping around I found a Jeep DJ body (postal Jeep) with the sliding doors on the sides. It's 2 wheel drive and I know they originally had a 727 in them so I would need to build motor mounts and exhaust. Weighs 3400 and has an 80 inch wheelbase, can we...

Not an easy swap in a 4.7 truck, different wiring,computer,transmission, and exhaust. If it were that easy I would have installed one of the 408's I have in the garage in it already.

Thanks for all the suggestions except the one about buying a cheap 5.2 or 5.9, not easy to replace a 4.7 with a magnum, complete different wiring, computer and transmission.

Alright, we'll give that a try

Yeah, we got a big zero on the compression check. Motor was completely rebuilt by a very competent shop(who is actually a good buddy of mine) the engine was stored in a barn for a couple of years and the humidity in there was terrible, I was concerned that this would be the result but at the...

Yeah, that was my first thought. I used to know an old guy that was a dealership mechanic all the way back to the 1930's and he was a wealth of knowledge and shortcuts to make things work again. I wish he was still around today.

not an A body but another project I have going. A few years ago I bought a truck pretty cheap with a blown up 4.7 in it so I pulled it out to replace and couldn't find one for sale so I rebuit it which got pretty costly because it was thoroughly destroyed. To make a long story short, between...

I've been looking around for a Hemi to put in my Dart Convertible and all of the 426 stuff has been grossly overpriced. I could build a 572 for what most of these dudes want for their 50 year old pile of parts. The original blocks weren't all that much compared to the new stuff. The new heads...

Unfortunately the individual parts to the right guy would make that motor more expensive to buy than just getting new parts. I would make him price it, you can't sell it and buy it too. If he won't price it just lowball him for about $2500. Either you'll get a good deal or he will get pissed and...

Thats a clean looking truck

So far I got myself 4-AR15 Rifle Kits and bought my best friends Honda 4x4 4 wheeler. I dont wait till Christmas to buy car parts.

Here in Kentucky, especially central Ky is cave and sinkhole heaven, some of you may remember the sinkhole inside he corvette museum that swallowed up a few vettes. It's not unusual here for cars to get shoved into a sinkhole and then covered over. A few years ago at a family function one of my...

Took them both to the scrap yard

Go digging, especially if you have access to a backhoe. Worst case scenario is you dig up a bunch of cast iron thats worth over $100 a ton at the scrap yard, best case is you dig up something really cool even if its not usable it would be a neat yard ornament. In this day and age when certain...
