That's funny indeed, My 69 Charger was missing the latch too. Phoned around in the UK no luck, and then in America. I had thrown out a 69 Coronet very rusty dash onto the scrap pile. My mate said ''did you check it for a latch''? Nope and yep, it was on there are rare piece indeed!

Mopar's forgotten engine the 318 Poly. But Gary Pavlovich has put them 'back on the map'! I have a friend in the UK who has a 402ci Poly that is a 440ci beater indeed. Better flowing heads than a wedge and looks to die for...

Thank you 66 Satellite. I had forgotten about Gary and all his Poly greatness! Happy Christmas from John

Hello Mopar folks, Anyone got a good used or new Poly Cam for sale? A Hipo camshaft would be even better for Christmas! Happy Holidays to all on B-Bods

Hello Poly folks, Can you use a later 318 head gasket on an earlier 318 Poly engine? Thanks in advance

Yep that's where I measured the axle, from the pinion to the drums...:wtf:

Engine offset maybe TWO inches? Just measured the tunnel in my 69 Charger. I also measured the dana 60 and that is a tad over TWO inches as well. Like the fat people gags and its a steering box issue, then the fat folks came much later...:popcorn: I have owned several A-Body UK import Mopars...

They were cast by mother Mopar in the late sixties to overcome the hemi ban. Passenger car ''W1 heads'' never made it into production. 2.250 intake valves and 1.780 exhaust valves nice. Extra cooling passages like the late MH heads too.

There was a time it was 'always' yellow and red for 68 and 69 Chargers! So folks got bored with that and now they are going factory GREEN.:nutkick: My 71 GTX is green but a much nicer Limelight available in 71. Green is the new red/yellow and grey is just BORING...:mob: ''Can you say sixpack'' ???

Thank you for the replies Guys! Stock hemi crank with stock rods and 12 to 1 stock pistons too. Yep its rare stuff here in the UK as well, he has never seen a PLUS 3kgs bob weight... I have found another shop but its 300 miles away, but to you guys its nearly next door! Best wishes from a hemi...

Hello Folks, Took my crank, rods and pistons for a balance and the guy can't do it? He can't believe the Bob weight is over 3kgs approx. 3.113grams. They don't keep enough weights to do that amount of balancing. Is the 3.113grams sound about right or has he made a mistake? Thanx in advance...

Many moons ago ago I removed some '68' B&M VB's from my race car transmissions. But I didn't mark them up as I can't remember if they are both reverse pattern? How can I tell a normal selector 321 VB from a reverse pattern VB? I have stripped them both down and can't any difference from the...

Yep, from what I have found out with early CV8 Jensen engines. 361 is the same as the 383 block and bored plus 60! The early Jensen cars were the fastest in Europe, capable of 150mph. Plastic and wooden construction from the wars years almost! I have rebored the 361 blocks myself on several...

hello 66 Hipo, We have done this exact build in a 66 Polara with a 512ci. Yep we had teething troubles too but nothing like yours! My first though is that's a 440 carb not a 520ci carb. We had ours built by HP carbs and they recommended a 950cfm. We tried many fuel systems to get the carb...

Max Wedge, now we are talking! No torque just max RPM's...:mob: 2-1/2 inches tall and 1-1/4 wide that's proper induction.:luvplace:
