Is there such a thing as cleaning out an aluminum radiator? I have a Be Cool radiator in my Barracuda that doesn't seem to cool like it did (It's over 20 years old). My Charger has Summit radiator in it and more motor than the barracuda and cools down quicker between rounds. The Barracuda has a...

So your in Georgia, US?

It's your car.....enjoy it. Besides, how many people are actually going to know the difference? Bryand

Define went bad/broke. Is there debris or they just won't stay pumped up. If there are pieces in the motor you need to find them....but if they just go flat perhaps you could inspect the cam lobe and replace them if the cam is OK. I would at least replace all the lifters.

The converter in my barracuda will occasionally lose it's fluid....draining back into the trans (I think). Then when you try to make it move it barely moves. In a couple minutes of running time it feels normal. It's an 8 inch Coan. Actually I don't know if this drain back is caused by the...

I have used a Milodon 31015 7 qt and an extended stock pan on my 73 without modifications to the K member, What pans have you tried? Are you still using the isolation mounts for the K member? I assume your using the stock motor mounts. bryand

10 years ago I bought poly mounts for my 73 from Mancini and they're still in good condition......this in a car that goes 10.65 in the quarter with a 5000 stall converter and 10.5 inch slicks.

I'll be happy if that's the problem. I was worried because the engine has plenty of runs on it but runs the number and all signs are good.......except cracking the valley pan. I'ss I'll be happy if that's the problem. A friend at the track suggested that may be the trouble. I'll find out this...

I'm having trouble emptying my inbox, please be patient. Bryand
