    **1970 Dodge Charger STUDENT build!!! matching numbers! (teacher posting)**

    I don't think a 68 has provisions for head rests like the 70 does.

    Another rebuild for my Son and I , FIRST MOPAR

    Welcome from Pennsylvania! Swapping from a 400 to 440 is pretty easy. A 400 is a "B" low deck block, and a 440 is a "RB" raised deck block. Most things are shared between the big blocks except the intake manifold, distributor and reciprocating assembly. A 727 transmission and 8 3/4 rear are...

    First time to turn on the heater in the house today....

    Man, I'm not ready for that kind of cold yet. Where's the red X when we need it!?! :lol:

    My GY8 '71 Road Runner

    That'll do a great job deadening sound. :thumbsup: Since you'll now have some extra pieces, add some to the inside of the door skins and below the rear window. It's a bit difficult to get pieces in through the small opening in the inner door panel, but they don't have to be perfect and you...

    As stated by @hunt2elk please start a "Wanted to Buy" ad. As he states, this will get good exposure and the site strongly prefers these not to be in other threads. And by the way, nice progress!

    74 upper control arms

    I could have sworn I used offset bushing on my 73, but it was a long time ago, and I have installed a few offset bushings in a number of cars - perhaps I got them confused. Apologies.

    Motorweek: 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK

    I hate that many auto makers are removing a dipstick. A dipstick is SIMPLE and it gives you more information than just fluid level...

    74 upper control arms

    The below picture isn't necessarily Mopar - I just grabbed it quickly from the internet... ...but the idea is the holes are offset in the bushing. When installing them, the bushing can be installed in an orientation that gives you more caster (which is what you need on your old 74). They are...

    Dodge Rampage going to Europe

    Until the EPA changes MPG rules, you will never see a real compact truck in the USA. Small vehicles (based on wheel base and track width) must have such high fuel mileage that they can't be sold here in the USA. This is why the Ford Ranger, for example, is darn near bigger than a full size truck...

    Air bag jack

    For safety, I wouldn't use either without jack stands. So to me, it becomes a convenience issue. I'm not sure I want to have to drag an air hose to wherever I'm using it. The bottle jack uses no power and a simple handle to pump it up. Winner for me = bottle jack

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Happy Thanksgiving to a great group of Mopar folks!

    74 upper control arms

    On my 73, I just used the original arms and installed offset bushings. Works fine as long as the ball joint threads are good. One of mine had bad threads so a little weld made sure they wouldn't come out!

    Sundays......

    Mark's lower control arms in the process of being rebuilt by a couple of buttheads in PA. :poke: First had to press out the old bushings - this was done by welding large washers to them and the pressing them out from the back. It works nicely without hacking up the lower control arms.

    My GY8 '71 Road Runner

    Nice solution to hold your solution for your shaft... (Boy is this ever a potential to go off the rails!)

    Rear shoulder belts in a 1970 Charger

    Yeah, I agree with you - to a point. With seatbelts, I don't want any potential of compromised material that could fail in an accident. I'd rather have new for that.

    2806178 Intake Manifold Replacement - What Date Code do I need?

    It seems to me that at this point you are guessing and not KNOWING where the problem is. Did you check AND MEASURE that the intake and head surfaces are parallel like in post 2806178 Intake Manifold Replacement - What Date Code do I need? ? Did you lay a straight edge across each head surface...
