    Thoughts on gear vendors OD

    Looking into possibly going with a gear vendors for my 70 charger 4 speed. I don’t want to cut the car up to put a modern trans in it. Does anyone here have one on the back of their 4 speed? I’m building the car to drive, and would like to do power tour with it.

    How risky is removing and reinstalling a cam bearing if oil hole isn’t aligned?

    I know it’s not the best practice…but let’s say I misaligned the oil hole on a cam bearing. How risky is pressing it back out and reinstalling it in the same bore? Possible that it’s fine, or high risk for a spun bearing? It seemed to fit tight, just not as tight as the first install. This is...

    1968-1969 3 speed wiper switch vs 1970? Same or different?

    My old one turned into a single speed. Looking into the classic auto industries repro. They market this as a 1968-1969 part, but don’t seem to have a 1970 one. This should be the same, correct?

    FOR SALE MSD Pro Billet Distributor 8545 383/400 low deck with variable phase rotor

    Plans changed from a carb setup to a Holley sniper, so it’s easier to just run their hyperspark distributor with the hyperspark coil and timing box. This has the variable phase rotor in it and is locked out. You’d need to get the parts to go back to stock if that’s the route you want to go...

    Who do you use to rebuild electric headlight and wiper motors?

    My 70 charger headlight motor is noisy and the plastic piece that holds the square rod is broken. Unfortunately it looks like it needs a rebuild. Being a one year part, and expensive, who is the go to guy for rebuilds? And any estimates on price? I will also need to get my 3 speed wiper motor done.

    1970 B body floor shift column rebuild or repro?

    My 70 charger floor shift car apparently has an e body column shift column. It needs a full rebuild inside, since the ignition, turn signals and all of those are all not working. I know some places sell repro steering columns…what are the pros and cons to buying reproduction vs buying an oem...

    Which ATI Super Damper?

    I have a 400 stroker with the AE engineering Billet timing cover and stock alternator and power steering brackets. I would assume I want the 2 ring ATI for stock locations? I hate to play 1000 questions, but this is my first build and I don’t want to buy the wrong parts. I have been...

    Picking the right head gaskets.

    For a 4.375 bore motor, what size gasket would you go with? Is 4.380 good? I have heard you want it slightly bigger than the bore. Also, are mopar performance ones any good? They have a set at .025 which would bump up my CR a bit. With a 0.039 head gasket, I should get 10.4:1. I would assume...

    WTB Used 0.040 thickness big block mopar head gasket

    This may be an odd request, but does anyone have a used/compressed big block head gasket they would be willing to sell? I need to make measurements, but would prefer not to waste a perfectly good new head gasket.

    I am getting close to needing to measure pushrods and check PTV clearance and had a few questions. For a bit of background, I am building a 400-512 stroker with tfs270 heads, t&d 1.6 rockers, and a lunati voodoo hydraulic roller cam with comp cams evolution lifters. Any ideas on what length...

    Tips for first engine fire and break in

    I am almost done piecing together my 512, just a few more odds and ends are needed. I had considered buying or building a run stand to test fire it outside of the car in case I have any leaks or issues. But I was watching the total seal ring channels video and they recommend breaking in the...

    Thoughts on HRC, Summit and Comp Cams evolution lifters

    Any thoughts? I tried to order the Howard Max effort hydraulic roller lifters, but they were backordered. Summit has their rebrand Summit Brand ones in stock for like $640, I believe they use Morel? I did also find the comp cams evolution lifters. They are supposedly user serviceable and sound...

    Plug and wire suggestions MSD Pro Billet/ TFS 270

    What do you guys suggest for plug wires? MSD makes a 8.5mm kit, summit has a Taylor 8mm set, and I have also heard of the custom sets. Also, what plugs for a street strip 512 with Trick flow 270 heads and 10.5:1 compression on 93 octane?

    SFI 18.1 balancer questions

    I don’t know much about these. I have seen fluid dampeners and then it appears there are billet pro/race style ones for $300-500. The billet ones are anywhere from 8-11 lbs. What would be best for a street strip stroker motor? It’s probably set up a little on the race side…but will see a lot...

    Throttle body EFI (Holley Xflow) vs Multiport on Indy max wedge

    I have trick flow 270s on my 512/400, which means the only intake option I have is the Indy 400 I-2 or the 4500 version. I did notice for an extra $500, Mancini sells a version set up for fuel injection. Is the difference worth it? What all do you need to run that vs throttle body efi? I...

    Classic Auto Air vs Vintage Air for non AC car

    Trying to decide between the two for a 68-70 b body. Any thoughts on performance or quality? Classic Auto air seems to advertise more capacity and better cooling. The way they build in the controls is nice as well. I might be able to get Vintage air at a good discount, otherwise they seem...

    What hydraulic roller lifters have people had good luck with?

    Looking for lifters for my build. 400/512 stroker with a lunati voodoo 713 cam and max wedge trick flows. Are lunati decent? Or are there certain brands that are good or ones to avoid?
