Man I love old license plates. It turns out they make great heat shields. I made these two over the last couple weeks just for the hell of it. Ours in South Carolina aren't stamped so they're nice and flat and easy to work with. I've got about an hour in making both of them. I cut them out...

What do you guys think I can expect to pay for a 727 core and a decent rebuild? The 383 should make around 400 horse and I would guess around 440 foot pounds or so. I just want the tranny to shift a little firmer than stock and will probably go with around a 2400-2600 stall convertor. Cores...

Well, for the last year or so I have been planning a 408 stroker build and getting all the parts down on paper as far as what I will use and what it will cost. I was a couple days away from the machine shop when I read an article in my latest mag where they added a cam (xe285), carb (850...

Who can tell me who makes a good pair/set of outside micrometers and digital calipers? I would like to get a few quality tools before I start on the stroker.. Thanks!

Well I started a new job last Monday and am doing a lot more driving. I was on a road that was little more that a cow path in the middle of nowhere when something green caught my eye. All I could see was the *** end of a 70 cuda with aar strobe stripes. I though to myself, I doubt its real so...

Where is a good source for some older style Direct Connection front license plates. I want to find something cool for the front of the Dart. Thanks mike

I was driving around this morning on the way to a job and found a pretty nice little swinger. It is a GY9, 318, AT, AC, 8 3/4 rear end. 63,000 miles. Pretty solid car. The only rust I could find was at the base of the sail panels at the top of the quarters. There are some holes that would...

Do yall think that if I scrubbed the undercoating real well on the underside of my dart that it would hold paint? Is there anyone out there that makes a paint just for this? After getting restored parts on this thing the undercoating kind of looks like ****!

Someone clear this up for me please. When doing a disk brake swap on a 71 dart, do I need to replace the entire LCA or just put in the bigger ball joint? I would think both, but I'm not sure. Thanks

Does anyone know the stock shock absorber length for the rear shocks on a 1971 dart. A friend of mine has quite a few of them and wants to know if I can use them. Thanks for the help.

I want to run 15 x 7 cop car rallies on the front of my 1971 dart (stock front end with disk brakes) with 225/60 15 BFG Radial T/A's. The question is, will the standard backset of 4.5 in. work without any rubbing or clearance issues? I have seen some of these wheels with a different backset of...

Does anyone know where I can get polygraphite upper and lower control arm bushings for my 71 dart? I found a set at pst.com but the uppers didnt include the outer metal cups. Mine were split and tossed in the garbage. I can find the regular polyurethane ones but squeaks drive me crazy!

I recently purchased a booster and master cylinder assembly from an old a body, not sure what, and it came with the proportioning valve from the disk brake car too. My 71 dart now has manual drums. The question is, Does the prop. valve from the disk car bolt up to all the lines in the same...

Pretty easy one for most of you I would guess. Does the 904 behind a /6 have a different bell housing and bolt pattern from the ones used behind small blocks? I know the starter is wp by the firewall and it doesnt look like it would mate to a V8.

All right guys, I need some advice. As you can see from my avatar, I own a /6 71 dart. I'm in the process of upgrading to disk brakes, swapping out the 7.25 for an 8.25, and adding a 727. The question is, what would be the most economical way to get a small block making around 400 horsepower...

Is there any way to remove the upper ball joints without buying a $30 socket from Mancini Racing? I would have to buy 2 since I need to remove the older, smaller joints and then install the new, larger ball joints. I really hate to have to spend $60 on tools I will use for 20 minutes and then...

I have a 71 dart with drums all the way around. I just bought the front disk brake setup from a 73 dart. I got upper and lower control arms along with the spindles. I found that the lower ball joint is attached to a cast piece and is one complete unit on the donor parts. Can I use that same...

Does anyone know how the switch to activate the horn on a Rim Blow steering wheel is supposed to work? I can't seem to get mine to work. I took the switch at the bottom of the wheel apart and it doesnt really make any sense! A couple little pieces of copper and no spring to make the button...

has anyone looked into or installed the new Precision Engine 408 stroker in an a-body? IT makes 375 hp and 460 ft. lb. and was wondering if thats enough power to twist my 71 dart too bad and would warrant the installation of sub frame connectors. The engine seems like a great deal at only...

Do any of you guys know what an original Rim Blow steering wheel should go for? Its in very good shape, it came out of a 52K mile car that was kept in a garage. I'm thinking of selling it to start saving for an engine.

I've been reading a lot of articles/posts on this subject so I figured I would come her to find out for sure. Will and 8.25 rear, behind a 350-375 horse small block and 727, hold up with sensible driving. Well, sensible relatively speaking-hah. I dont plan on racing the thing at the track and...
