Been a long time since doing things like this. When removing a driveshaft from a 2000-2003 Dodge RWD truck, van, dakota etc) , what size bolts hold the driveshaft to the diff ? going to Pull a part. make sure to have rhe correct tools. Thanks...Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks for that, my budge it a lot tighter than that, I've seem the cast iron version for $25-50, I'm not really needing it very soon. But my cash is limited.

let me know

Looking for a CHEAP spread bore intake for a small block ( cast is fine ) near NE Ohio akron/barberton. Could be interester in mopar Rochester Quadrajet also.

Just watched youtube video about the pre magnum EFI...I'm not sure I've ever seen that type.... The one I've seen is the barrel type intake. guessing this type is far better.

You said " don't want TBI EFI...what years are those ? maybe you mean the early 81-83 Imperial efi system ????......and " a real fuel injected 5.2 (ODB1 or ODB2 what years ?

What years of 5.2 do you consider " real fuel injected magnum" ?

Those all sound like they will work. I'm not sure when 318 got roller cam, or FI even. But at least the driveline would be sound, don't know much about the 3.9 also,

Well life is not like that for me ( might be for you). Living on a fixed income, and everyday cost ( including to price of gas are important factors) also driving a 60's-70's car is a great thing to do...but Having a car that is quiet, drives nice , and well manored is more enjoyable on a daily...

Not anything good said about car built in the last 10 years. All of thier major systems are just poorly made. Most times when you are going to buy a used car. The natual idea is to purchase something newer, better. But in this day and age , that is no longer true. IMO.

I guess, that not ALL modern vechicle are crap...but it sure seems like most everything in the last 10 years or so, should have not been sold to the buying public, Fuel injection was a good thing. But they could not leave it at that. I know EPA rules have a lot to do with the problens. But when...

Large power steering return hose ( 5/8") years ????

I'm just so sick of seeing things about modern cars that only last a few years, and then end up with problems that cost $$$$. And it's not just one Brand..it's almost all of them. You know things are bad when dealerships have engines in parts rooms. Because they need to install them every week...

I've always had a thing for those 81-83 Imperials. I like the way you think. I'm not sure of what they had for a rear axle ratio., but I do have an A500/42RH overdrive I would like to use someday.

I was thinking up to 1988/89 5th ave new yorker 318 . As I recall reports of 26 mpg highway . think they had 2.22 or 2.45 gear ratio ???
