  New lifter noise

  By Roadhunter

  So I am on my way to town and had to pass a fkn tourist and only went up to about 4000 rpm and after I passed I noticed some noise coming from the engine. Started slow and progressively got worse so I pulled over and lifted the hood and there was quite a lot of top end noise like lifters clattering. This is a full roller setup and I believe it is a hydraulic system. I turned around and went back home and parked in the garage and shutdown. I got the stethoscope and the noise is coming from...

  Why replace the head if you're just putting on a hyperkit.

  By 65Cudafix

  So, I've got a 1983 D150 (base model 4x2 may even be a D100...) with a slant6. Just wanted the engine to see how the Aussies Tubo charge the MFers.. Then reason crept in: Truck body isn't bad, and nothing to put the Slant6 into anyway... So, why not just put a hyper-pak on it and paint it to look like a school bus, and let my kid (he teaches school) drive it... So Question is, what is the value in doing any more that simply installing the manifold, headers and oil cover. Follow on... Read more

  N.O.S. MP 500 BB Crate Motor

  By voodoo340

  N.O.S. MP 500 BB Crate Motor MP P/N P4876691 Purchased new in 2000 for a '68 RoadRunner project that never happened (have original receipt from Summit Racing). Stored properly in dry garage since new. Includes original engine stand and lift plate (blue crate disposed of long ago due to large size taking up too much space). I have added all front accesories and ignition, so engine is now fully dressed and ready to run (I would re-lube the cam before first fire though). See attached current... Read more

  Rear End Recommendation

  By Mcfarlrm

  Currently have 4:10 gears with 255/60/R15 tires and looking for something that cruises Florida streets a bit better without screaming 3k+. A lot of streets around me are 45-55 so looking for something that will cruise 55-60 more comfortably without sacrificing too much acceleration from a stop.

  Carpet questions

  By jos51700

  My '72 Dart has a dark/light green interior. The carpet is green-ish in the places where the sun doesn't shine so I'm confident on the color (it's sun faded to gold in other places, which is actually kinda pretty) but it's never been loop carpet like that this picture from legendary shows. It's always been more like 'straight' fibers, it maybe what I was just call 'fuzzy'. I don't have a great picture at the moment, but you can kinda see in this picture from my clutch pedal dumpster fire... Read more

  Fred 2.0 is coming home this weekend

  By ragtopfury

  So you FABO junkies are well aware of my son, Josh, and his misfortune of landing his 73 Dart Sport - named Fred- wheels up in a drainage ditch...... Well, he definitely wants to get back into it. So, as luck would have it, we found this 75 Duster located in Summerville, SC. Came out of Georgia about a year and a half ago, where it sat dormant inside a closed garage since 1995. Slant/auto car. Fred 2.0 is coming home Saturday. We are leaving Friday around 630pm.

  Thoughts on Upgrades to my 65 Barracuda

  By Roadhunter

  I am in the process of removing the engine and transmission and wanted some ideas to make some improvements while I have it apart. I was thinking of maybe Borgeson manual steering box. A mini starter so I can actually remove it if necessary without having to remove the headers. Maybe paint the engine bay body colours instead of black that the previous builder did. Thanks

  Finally get to pretend I am one of the cool kids - Holley kit swap

  By DionR

  Got my core 5.7 setting in my '73 finally. Need the motor in so I can start cutting the floor and building a cross member for the T56 Magnum. This is with the Holley mounts, headers and oil pan. I used the recommended oil filter adapter, works well. I even have room for the AC compressor. This is a compressor from a 2012 1500 or 2500 Ram so it isn't the same as a car compressor... Read more

  Original 1978 Chrysler engineering drawing for 318/360, anyone seen one of these?

  By GraceHarken

  I picked up an original Chrysler factory engineering drawing a while back and I'm trying to find out more about it. I didn't think it was anything too special until I wasn't able to find anything like it online so figured I'd ask here. It's incredibly delicate, unwieldly and is apparently over 12 feet long when fully opened-- but I've yet to do so out of fear of damaging it. I contacted an art conservationist to restore it, but they suggested I look for/contact Chrysler historians firstly... Read more

  My next experiment

  By 71Demon540

  Well this weekend I was supposed to be in Norwalk Ohio for their Mopar race. With the horrendous looking forecast Saturday and Sunday, I opted to go to my local track instead. Friday test and tune with a 32 or 64 car shootout. I got into the 64 car field but if it doesn’t fill, then they will only do the 32 car field. Saturday is one race for $5k guaranteed purse. $100 to enter, $150 to double enter. So what am I trying next? I got a set of Mickey Thompson pro bracket radials for my demon... Read more

  Legendary Auto Interiors. What's your experience with them?

  By Ogre Backwash

  I am considering sourcing a convertible top, rear window, top well liner and carpet set from Legendary for my 65 Dart GT convertible. Would anyone care to share their experience with them? I know they are supposed to have a good reputation. Are they as good as they claim? I'm in California and they are in New York so I am also thinking about cost of shipping as well. Thank you.
