Totally agree here. I think it's pretty easy for the pro-EV to assume that people will go electric if they can charge their cars at home, but the truth is most people don't live in places they own (i.e. places they can install home chargers). It'd be even worse for apartment dwellers, and I...

Not a Super Bee, but close -- there's a 68 Coronet 440 that I've been watching on Facebook: 1968 Dodge OTHER It's in TN, so definitely a drive.

Reducing asking price to $8k.

Unfortunately I’m moving and won’t be able to keep working on my Roadrunner at the new place. Car comes with its original 383 and a833 4-speed. The trans works and has the shifter and all the linkages, but the engine will need a complete rebuild (seized). Frame is mostly good, though the front...

Hey everyone -- thanks so much for the help. I finally got around to working on the column today, and it installed just fine after re-extending the shaft.

Hey everyone -- after reviewing some older threads here I decided I would take on switching to floating drums. Big thanks for ply64post and khryslerkid for their threads detailing how to separate the drums from the hubs. I did the procedure as described by ply64post's instructions...

Thanks for the quick response and for setting me straight on the pins. The coupler was not on the column when I got the car, but the coupler does fit the manual box. I suppose it's possible that the column is from a power steering car. I suspected it was the original column since it's a blue...

Hey everyone -- I'm trying to get my car finally ready to install the engine, and I figured I'd rebuild my steering coupler which was missing shoes when I bought the car. I'm pretty sure the steering column is original, but not 100% (matches the interior color and is roughly in the same...

I'm installing a stage 3 kit from MCB on my 1969 Road Runner. The car is a long way from running, so I'll need to report back once I actually know how well they work, but John has been an absolute pleasure to work with -- really great customer service.

I'm interested, but your inbox is full.

Thank y'all for all the help. My 440 appears to be a weird one since the harmonic balancer looks like the small internal balance unit (with no markings for external balance) and the previous owner claims it is internally balanced AND drilled for a pilot bearing. I haven't measured the hole in...

Sorry, definitely didn't mean to put words in your mouth. It sounds like having the flywheel resurfaced may be a good option. I don't really plan on beating on it, FWIW -- the motor is a low compression motorhome deal so without some work it will likely fall on its face above 5k anyway. In any...

Thanks everyone. Yeah I'm definitely not willing to lose my legs over this one, so I wanted to check if I was being paranoid over casting marks or if those are really cracks. It sounds like I'm probably better off getting a new flywheel. Out of curiosity, is there any danger to having a machine...

I'm getting ready to assemble a 440 from a motorhome for my Roadrunner, and I think I've determined that the neutral balance flywheel from my old 383 should work. My question is whether this particular flywheel is safe to use -- I found some marks in it which I'm unsure are casting marks or...

I've been using this to find the missing parts for my 1969 Roadrunner -- lots of exploded diagrams that I've found invaluable: http://www.mymopar.com/index.php?pid=109
