West Texas. Home of sun fried interiors and roasted paint. If it doesn't bite, sting or stick you it doesn't grow here.

Yeah I should have just said 2dr. GM took the mid-sized '64 LeMans 2dr, stuffed a big motor and heavy duty components in it, a separate GTO only option package of trim/interior, gave it it's own separate model designation and gets credit for having a novel idea. IMO, Plymouth beat them...

A muscle car by definition is a standard intermediate sized two door sedan with an optional performance package. Most credit the Goat with that distinction but I beg to differ. The '55 300's were full size sedans, and while impressive with the Hemi, they don't fit the definition. IMO the...

Was cruising in my '84 short wide, it had a built 440/4spd, locked 4.88's, ET Streets etc, the thing was ridiculously loud with a very low deep exhaust note. It would set of car alarms idling through parking lots. So anyway, pull up to a redlight and a kid in a fart piped white Honda starts...

Wreck on I-20 just outside of town. The Ford blew a tire, crossed the median and hit the Dodge head on. There were four guys in the Dodge, the two in the front seat were killed, the other two critical. A woman and three passengers in the Ford, all came through alive. Not trying to be morbid...

What I'd like to know is what does commanding an injector kill test have to do with smoothing the idle? I get a marked difference on cyls killing injectors, but with all 6 on, the idle goes butt smooth, no putter/miss. If it goes open loop when the kill test is commanded, then something under...

My '97 LHS has a miss. 3.5 V6. Engine's in good shape, even comp across the cyls, uses no oil, plug color looked good etc. Has about 95,000 miles, been garaged/pampered since new. Had a little putter at idle to begin with, has progressed to a noticeable miss under load. Gas mileage has dropped...

B&B Auto, local Mom & Pop store. They still use PARTS BOOKS for cryin' out loud. Always go above and beyond. When I need a tailite bulb they don't ask if it's 4x4 or has A/C....

.....a driveshaft vibration?

Need to change the name to Mopar Grilles,Tailites & Dashes. That's about all you get to see of the feature cars, the photography aggravates me. And the tech/articles? One session on the crapper is all the mag's good for. I didn't renew either.

Made the hood back in the late 90's for another pickup I had, with the same 440 powering it. Grafted the bulge from a crunched Challenger hood onto one back in the 80's, now you can buy 'em. Dadgum copycats lol. Drank quite a bit back then, I guess beer was good brain fluid for dreamin' things...

No, but I'll sell you my relatives for $20. :D

........there's not a hot rod of some form in my garage. Dang, guess I'm getting old. It's no A body, but it's a Mopar, and I'm gonna miss it. Sold this to my nephew for $2000, been sitting collecting black widow spiders and dust for almost 6 years, hasn't been started in 3 years due to a...

Had an '84 short wide with a built 440/4spd and fenderwell headers that dumped behind the front tires. Loud enough to set off car alarms at an idle. I pulled the slicks off, stuck on some ET Streets, tags and a sticker on it, went cruising around town looking for Camaros, Mustangs and whoever...

Not if you can prove the motor home engine came out of a truck/chassis with a GVWR above a certain amount, OR the combination never legally existed under federal emission standard laws for that year/vehicle, provided the ENGINE is earlier than the vehicle. {I can't say if this applies to OBDII...

Even here in the deserts of Texas, the smog law enforcement is tightening up. They are getting to be sticklers about dates of manufacture on engine swaps etc. While trying to get my '84 pickup with a swapped in '73 440 inspected, I asked the inspector what the the deal was with all the...

Or flipped it end over end after leaving the road at about 90. Was a nice '70, 340/THREE speed, dark tan, black gut, rallyes. He crawled out with a few scratches, knocked the motor completely out of the car. Sammy always was a likable dumass, until he died in another wreck. Got choked to death...

This was about 30 years ago. Fan clutch went south on my '70 Challenger, had a 6 blade flex fan laying around, so I bolted it on. It sounded like a lawn mower on steroids. At the time I was also running one of those big round '50's Caddy dual inlet air cleaners on it, with hoses ducted to the...

Sooo, what are the chances of 'em building approx. 50 Super Stock Hemi Darts lmao..........

Thanks fellers. Going to look at this weekend, it's about an hour from here, see if I can haggle him down some more. Half the fun of car buying is the arguing about it.........

Pretty damn cool! Might wanna weld that sword on, be rough to get nuetered shiftin' gears lmao.

Don't want to give the wrong impression, the junker I was referring to is my own. Judging from the quality of garage builds on this site, don't think the check writers are much of a threat. There are some highly talented folks here and I enjoy enviously following along. However, if I buy a...

The blank check guys have their place in the hobby too. Consider all the cool Mopars that have been saved from the scrap heap in the resto shops by guys with deep pockets, but no ability or desire to bleed. The restored race cars, the Hemi cars, the 6bbl cars are still around because someone...

Have a line on a decent '97 Avenger with a Mitsu 2.5 V6 for cheap. Run around town car for the wife. Anybody have any experience with/owned that motor? I've seen 3.0's puffing blue smoke, because of valve guide issues from what I'm told. Any troubles with the 2.5?

A/C big block trucks use a double groove water pump pulley, and an idler pulley mounted to the PS brackets. Idler on the outside groove, and PS on the inside. Alt-A/C routed the same as a small block. Factory added the second belt/idler to pull the seven blade fan used on A/C trucks. A...

You're right. Had FS emblems, owner said it was a '64, and I didn't give it any further thought.

I've never worried about profit on a project car, I just build 'em because I'm addicted. Besides, I keep 'em forever. I've had my 440 motor for over twenty years, been in three cars, one car was killed by the ex, one car was killed by the current, the other is in the garage and no, she does NOT...

I spy a broken off bolt on the EGR block off plate. May have a vac leak.

Fuel injected roller 360, 4spd, cushy seats, tilt, cruise, A/C etc. Highway car mostly. Been looking for a wagon, but............
