Dodge Magnum 2WD

My buddy picked up a 1957 Dodge D100 that was missing the engine and transmission and probably hadn't run since the late 1960's. He dropped it off nearly 4 years ago come December. The rest of the truck was all there, and most amazingly, it was void of any significant rust even in the corners of the cab. This became my first full build, after having restored and resto-modded a couple of my own Mopars. We discussed what he wanted to end up with, and plotted out a plan and a time frame that...

So I'm hooking up the factory efi on my Magnum swapped, four speed Dart. I go to plug in the crank sensor, and it won't plug in. Seems Chrysler used a different plug between automatic and stick shift Magnum engine harnesses (the sensors are different lengths) and I have an 1996 automatic harness and intake. Does anyone know if I should NOT cut n splice the connector from an automatic crank sensor onto this sensor so it will plug in? I have the computer memory eraser so I can lie to the PCM... Read more

I decided I’d like to pull my t-56 out and I want to “freshen it up”. I don’t know much about the components inside, but I see rebuild kits with carbon fiber synchro rings and bronze fork pads. I know Tick performance sells a kit, but it’s out of stock. Does anyone have any recommendations on where I can buy a good rebuild kit with good components, and if there’s anything specific I should get while it’s torn down? I’ll throw it out there now that a magnum would be ideal, but it’s not in the... Read more

Hi all, I'm starting my restoration thread - I know you like pictures. It's still 700 miles away, but planning to relocate it in mid-May so the fun can start. I have another post around front frame rails rust and ideas on avoiding more damage during the move. It's a 1970 Charger 500 SE (383 Magnum with 727 Auto). It's my late brother's car (recently passed away) and I want to restore it to a driveable / good condition - not necessarily showroom condition. I've been lurking and reading lots... Read more

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

I had a driveshaft loop on my car. Had. Just did a clutch and some other junk and it got kicked under another car and I forgot about it and put the driveshaft back in without it. Street car, no slicks, no power (5.9 stock Magnum), but the scary part is the no talent driver. This is the one that bolts under two of the trans cross member bolts. I think US Car Troll sells them. It's painted orange. Should I pull the driveshaft again and put it in, or is it kinda stupid? I'll do clutch drops... Read more

I...may not be selling my 73 Duster after all. I might be fixing it...so I want to avoid the screw-ups that result in thrown tools. Current setup is a Magnum 360 with an Edelbrock Air Gap intake, AVS carb, bogus 6bbl air cleaner, and stock hood with a Demon scoop. I want to replace this with a flat hood...but that Air Gap intake is tall. The question is: will the Air Gap intake clear a stock Duster hood? It's not clear with the current setup, but it looks like it would be VERY close. Anyone... Read more

I purchased this kit which was recommended to me by Tick Performance and when the guys working on my car went to install it, they noticed it was the wrong length. I have a 2010 Mustang Roush 540RH with a T56 Magnum and Mcleod RXT twin disc clutch. They ended up using the factory slave cylinder and put a shim behind it. I called Tick Performance and they won't refund me the money so I figured I would see if anyone needed one on here. I would prefer a local pick-up because I don't have any... Read more

As usual I don’t post a lot but this time I think it’s appropriate. Shot out to Bobzilla for helping me yesterday. Been having some issues and it’s nice to bounce ideas off of someone. Had 2 brain farts that scrubbed 2 passes but did pull off another 9.90 @ 134 with little magnum popping and banging. I have a ton of memories at this track so I’m hoping yesterday isn’t the last.

Good afternoon everyone, I.did great magnum head swap on my LA 318 a few years ago. Geeat swap and pretty straight forward. Just need the correct length hollow push rods for oiling, proper hydraulic lifters, head bolts and intake manifold. However, just acquired a later model 2001 5.9 roller engine. It has the cam snout extension to run a traditional mechanical fuel and timing cover. My question is, what is needed to run an LA cam grind in the 2001 5.9 magnum? I'm willing to.give up...

Hi all, I’m going down a rabbit hole of debating on ways to fix a ticking noise in my newly built Magnum 360. I think I’ve narrowed it down to the Odessa heads (stock new casting, not the Monster Magnums) having a bad valve job (boo on me for not getting them checked before install lol). I’m thinking about getting a set of junkyard heads to use to either have those worked on, or work on the ones that I currently have in the truck and use the junkyard ones as a temporary holdover. It’s... Read more
