    AM radio to Bluetooth.. or other ideas.

    You can just leave the stock radio alone and functional. If you want a really nice system, install a DSP(Digital Signal Processor) with as many amplified channels as you want feeding some quality speakers. The DSP's can actively cross over the frequencies to tweeters mid-bass and subwoofers. You...

    440/ RB Weber manifold anybody?

    I have access to a complete set of authentic, high-flow, tunable runners for that intake available for only $500, but that also includes all-new hygear hose clamps. Shipping is extra, and drop ships from Oriely's auto parts.

    Will I die? Drag Radials in the Rain

    I run Nittos year round rain or shine. The width of the tires (275/60-15 and 325/50-15's) and hydro-planning is my biggest worry. Heck, I've even hydroplaned with 35/13.50-18's on my truck at 65mph in heavy rain. Seems like 50mph+ when water its raining and water is really flowing on the road...

    360 Magnum flexplate / balancing experts !

    I'm a bit confused as to what you have going on, but I do know that 5.9 Magnums have extra balancing weights on the flex plates and harmonic balancers. 5.2 Magnums are neutrally balanced and have no additional weights on the balancer or flex plate. I had to oblong one hole in the flex plate...

    Dodge Charger And Lifted Ram Show Us How Not To Remove A Stranded Vehicle On Florida Beach

    Amateurs. Those large diameter rims and short sidewall tires are not only ugly, but also ineffective for almost anything but street use. A proper tow rope needs to be connected to both vehicles on parts that can handle the forces involve when the towing vehicle accelerates away from the towed...

    Need measurement / distance between front upper shock tower A Body

    "I would weld in the shock tower then do the inner fender part as it welds directly to the shock tower." The factory only used about 4 or 5 spot welds on the very top of the shock towers and the inner fender. Over the years, my '68 Barracuda convertible had begun to tear those spot welds loose...

    Your old dream (car). What happened?

    Bought this car numbers matching 440-6, 4 speed, Shaker hood car in 1978 for $1000 from my cousin. I had to work all summer to pay for it. I rode in the back seat of it coming west out of Reno, Nevada when I was a kid about 6 years earlier with my brother, sister and cousin, who was the second...

    408 Stroker in a Dart

    Blueprint has plenty of good reviews on their 465hp/494ft lbs torque Magnum based motor. The main guy for Blueprint posts on here occasionally, but I forget his tag. Mopar 408CI Stroker Crate Engine | Small Block Chrysler | Fully Dressed | Roller Cam It's good to see shops building Mopar...

    408 Stroker in a Dart

    Not sure if you saw that the motor he is asking about putting in is not a low rpm torque build, "Looking at a drop in ready 465 HP / 494 FT LBS engine." It's a relatively high rpm build that puts out well over 1 hp per cubic inch at well over 5000 rpm. Stock manifolds are a serious restriction...

    408 Stroker in a Dart

    Forget the stock manifolds as that would hamstring that 465 hp motor. That level of hp from a 408" motor requires headers and a good intake. Take away those parts and you will end up with a less than happy combination. You can still make it look stock'ish without giving both of those up. Have...

    Someone tell me I ordered the right thing please

    Right! I was shocked, and reweighed it on a second scale. They were both within 50 lbs of each other. Here's what is in the car that makes it so heavy. Aluminum headed 408 Magnum with full 3" TTi exhaust, vintage air A/C, 2004R trans with bolt on bellhousing and 3600 rpm lock-up converter, 4"...

    Someone tell me I ordered the right thing please

    I see we are almost neighbors. We should set up a meet, and I'll take you for a test drive. The car runs in the 11's as it is now with a sub 500hp 408 Magnum in it. In a couple of months, I'll be selling this motor and swapping in a supercharged 408 that will bump the output to the mid 800hp...

    Someone tell me I ordered the right thing please

    I'm running that size rim with a 275/60-15 tire on my '68 Barracuda. No rubbing even on the roughest roads or hardest launches. I used two passenger side 3200lbs SS springs, sway bar, properly adjusted slapper bars and Koni shocks. When it becomes time to replace those Koni's I'll buy the QA-1...

    1968 Barracuda - Let it begin (the last build!)

    I didn't read all the posts, but it looks like a nice ride in the making. Fuel injection and an overdrive transmission are essential items in a must have list of modernizing our older Mopars. Leave them out, and it's no bueno.

    Beware of PG Classics

    I've bought things from PG Classics in the past. I was grateful they even offered the parts for my old Mopar. Part quality issues aside, I've had to pay for return shipping on defective products. There have been some exceptions, but fortunately it doesn't happen too often. Good luck on getting...

    Installed race cats to eliminate that eye burning exhaust smell.

    A few years back, I welded on a pair of high-flow, metal substrate racing catalytic converters to my 3" TTi behind the collectors on my '68 EFI'd Magnum based 408 stroker. The overlap on the cam is pretty decent with 246* & 252* at .050" & 108* LSA. I didn't do any back to back timed runs, but...

    The modern stereo system

    Heck, I had to have more power. Everything I own is supped up in some way or another, and I really enjoy my classic rock. I've got 400 watts going to each of my tweeters, 500 watts going to each of my 4 mid-basses and 1000 watts going to a pair of 12 inch subs, all actively crossed over and...

    The modern stereo system

    I had a nice sounding system installed in my 2008 GMC 2500HD. First things first though. The electrical system needs to be upgraded to handle the amp draw of your system, the interior of the car needs to be removed and replaced to install sound dampening panels and insulation under nearly every...
