I'm finally able to post some pics from my 74 Charger build. When I can get it on a lift I will add some of the bottom of the car. I lined it with raptor liner bed liner. It has all stainless exhaust and plumbing and most everything that could be removed from the car has powder coat. Enjoy!

Sorry, its a 74 Charger

They dont appear to have any for 3rd gen.

Are you pleased with em? How was the installation?

Im looking for suggestions on aftermarket replacement upper control arms. One of my arms has had the ball joint welded in and i was thinking of replacing them both.

The high stall was in fact the problem. Installed a cooler from Earls. Problem solved! Thanks everyone!

I did have one 90 @ the front right before the rad that had collapsed a little when I bent it. I formed a whole new stainless line because I wasn't happy with the way it looked (it probably would have performed ok). All of my plumbing is stainless. All of my plumbing is good. Thats why I used my...

So running under 3k, which is the apx stall speed of a 292/509 cam, in stop and go traffic will always produce more heat because the converter is over working, correct?

This is sounding more and more like my full race converter is the culprit. I sure don't want to have to drop another 700 on a converter. Hopefully the cooler will take care of it. I think the dowls are ok. But please elaborate, what do you mean by "locating the trans radially"? I think the pilot...

I chose the Hays because I preferred the manufacturing process by which they were made. When I ordered the 3/4 race converter from Holley they were and still are on back order. I asked the technician what the difference in the full and 3/4 race were. His reply was "price and horsepower rating"...

Why not plumb through the rad too? I already have the fittings on hand without having to buy another -6an to -5an union. Wouldn't you think it would just add cooling capacity?

Yes, a lot. It's very perplexing to me. Seems perfectly logical to me though. Too small diameter wheel could cause an issue, over working the stall converter with consideration of my cam and gear ratio. But I'm probably over thinking all of it, my tires are 25" diameter and I only drove it 10...

Yes, hot in neutral after cycling through gears. I don't know the temp of the transmission because I had not yet wired the temp gauge, but the engine had reached normal operating temp ie. thermostat had opened. No burnt smell or color. I had decided to piggyback off of the radiator into the...

I just had a 727 bult for my 74 charger 400ci, it has a 292dur 509lift Mopar purple cam, Harland Sharp roller rocker, trick flow 270 heads, Chrysler 8 3/4 rear with 3.55 GR, hays twister full race 10" converter @ 3200 stall, and a deep pan, I am running atf+4 in it. So here is the low down...
