This transmission was purchased from a Chrysler dealer and was NOS (new old stock). It was installed in my 1963 Plymouth Fury and now has less than 10 thousand miles on it. It is in excellent condition, shifts great and I am including the transmission crossmember and mount. I replaced it with a...

It says it's a PST brand. (Performance Suspension Technology)

I had TTIs and changed them out for Dougs due to the better sparkplug clearance and less interference with the torsion bars and starter. With the TTIs I had to fab 1/4" thick spacers for the motor mounts in order to raise the headers above the pitman arm. Brand new mounts and flat zerk fittings...

Found a mirror assembly. Thanks to all who responded.

Thank you for your opinion on sparkplug wires...Do you have any advice for those of us mentally stuck in the 50s and 60s?

Post #8 here...^^^^^^^^^

You are a sharp guy! Good call...

417guy: I originally built the engine as a 440 with a factory original 426 max wedge top end. Over the years I got tired of seeing a bunch of max wedge tribute cars at the events I attend, so I decided to do something different. I sold all the max wedge parts as one lot and went with a set of...

Robert, I am following your learning curve here and would appreciate it if you would quit telling us how old you are at 58. I'm 80 and not old yet, you young whipper-snapper...lol.

It's a matter of priorities. If you want your engine to look more 'modified/racey', like the difference in sound when the hood is open and idling, and want a few extra horsepower, go for a good set of headers like Dougs or TTIs. On the other hand, if you never open the hood and would rather...

Bump....

Speaking just for myself: The Indy 440 EZ-1 aluminum head had to be shaved with a grinder on the corner closest to the distributor in order to use the Holley Hyperspark distributor. The Msd did not require that. My covers came from Marsh and don't have the long bolts through tubes. You can see...

I got mine from Marsh Performance and they fit fine with an MSD distributor and a Holley Sniper2 Hyperspark. I did have to drill the holes for the PCV and the oil filler cap: MOPARTS@PTMC.NET

That happened almost 2 years ago. Found a local shop. The owner was getting close to selling out and retiring. He warned me about taking a long time because he would work on it between his insurance collision jobs. He said it would be way cheaper to find a replacement door, which I did; in...

@dadsbee : Did you feel as bad as I did when an F250 4X4 driver thought he could drive through my car? I'd appreciate it if somebody who knows what they're doing on these machines from hell would straighten out my pictures...
