    Spring Fling Winners From FABO :)

    Daves66valiant – pictures don’t lie. Your craftsmanship is first rate. Although it is taking longer than you thought, the time spent will be well worth it. It was freaking cool to see you beat an essentially finished, high-dollar build on a trailer. The best part is that 2 out of 3 “Under...

    2008 Challenger tested by Motortrend

    I would love to have my 65 Dart perform like the new Challenger. I know it will take $$$ and a lot more know-how that I currently have. At lease I now have a small idea of the work required to make the Challenger perform like it does with a warranty. So being on the cheap, I relate to...

    SRT 10 pick up

    One of my friends has a reg cab SRT-10 and it is a fun drive. He let me drive it for the first time on the way to a Mopar dyno event. Dyno events are strange because the big talkers often hide when they have the opportunity to show what their engine can do. Well there was an opening in...

    Pro Touring Cuda

    I like the idea. Give us a run-down of the performance / visual mods you are planning. What are your performance goals?

    disk brake conversion Q's

    Concerning the safety & smaller lower ball joints - most feel that the safety gained is due to the larger attaching bolts between the lower ball joint arm and the spindle. I forget the size difference, but it is much stronger. I am converting mine right now to the 73-76 and I can't wait to...

    I built a freaking monster. WHOOOOHOOO

    You are almost there...Congrats! An inspiration for sure. I'm a month behind you on my complete swap into my 65 Dart: slant six, 904 to 340 x-head, LD340 intake, TTI headers, custom x-pipe exhaust w/spintech mufflers, 4-row radiator, 727 w/manual valve body, rebuilt suspension, reinforced...

    Flash rust removal?

    I have had good luck with Evaporust. I got mine from Harbor Freight for $20 per gallon. They say 1 gallon will remove 1/2 lb of surface rust. Here is the link:http://www.evaporust.com/evaporust.html I used Evaporust and a scotch brite pad. Took all the surface rust off pretty quickly...

    new purchase LD 340

    I got one too! The engine I just bought from my buddy also came with a LD340. My buddy said it ran pretty strong. Still finishing my "rattle can" engine overhaul so I can't give you seat-of-the-pants review. Mine came with a 750 double pumper. I'm hoping it runs strong.

    Drivetrain advice for engine swap

    In the original post, there was no mention of the wheel bolt circle 5 on 4" vs. 4.5". If I recall all of the 8 1/4" are 4.5" Most (if not all?) of the a-body 8 3/4" were 4". I would consider bolt circle diameter as another parameter when considering cost between of potential donor...

    A warning to all potenial car buyers

    Thanks for the tip! Drives home a recent experience with an alignment shop. My pals and I have been working on a 69 Charger and took it to the alignment shop. Drove fine going home, but when taking a look later, realized that no cotter pins were re-installed by the shop. Lots of $$$...

    Paint Booth Rental in Socal?

    daves66valiant, I feel for you. I had the same thing happen on a custom paint job on a motorcycle years ago. He had my parts for months and gave me progress updates every few weeks (only after chasing him hard on the phone). On the big day that I was to get the painted parts he admitted...
