This is sure to try some patience. Ok I have been rebuilding a 1978 BB 727. Came from a truck or van I believe cause it had the 4 gear planetaries. Also has the metal cloverleaf style thrust washer. I did not check original endplay, I know, my bad. I have been working from the Munroe book...

OK, back in December I started a dumb post called EX RACE CAR MOTOR< WILL IT BLOW ON THE STREET?, or some such dumbness. I finally dug it out today from under the work bench and I want to see what you guys think and test your Chevy/GM parts knowledge. More on that in a bit. I Bought this...

OK, I.m almost done with my 727 build for the 71 Charger, so I need to pick a stall converter. I have spent two days internet shopping until my eyes are crossed, seems everybody hates Boss Hogg, B&M, and TCI ( actually more like 50/50). Hughes seems to get decent reviews. NOTE : this is not a...

Almost done rebuilding this 727. Apparently I failed to keep the big servo springs ( front and rear) separated. One appears to be a slightly larger diameter. Pressure difference between them is not that noticeable to my hands. Length very similar too. I am guessing the larger spring goes in...

Someone gave me two large brass Mopar radiators. One is 26 x18 with 3 rows. 2949059. I figured that out as 1969 318/w/AC. But the other I cant figure out. Its 2 rows and measures 27.5 x18.75 and has two numbers on it 4140978 and 18388 Thanky

71 super bee available options: I'm sure this has been asked before but I cant find it in archives. Please tell me yay or nay to these questions Air conditioning? Power steering? Power brakes? Front discs? Hideaway headlights? I think I have heard this was available although...

I ran these a short while on an old Brand X car I had 15 years ago. Been in dry storage ever since. The Chromes tight, needs a good clean up, no rust showing through. One spinner has a bit of the blue paint flaking off. One of them has a post broken off on the backside, ( see photo). Probably...

So the front and rear drums in my 727 appear to need the band surface reconditioned or turned on a lathe. They're a little wavy with some small areas of rust, so I think they need trued up. I found a guy that will do them for 60 bucks each. What sort of finish ( or smoothness) were the drums...

Ok, this has probably been covered but here goes. Somebody gave me a big block 727 that had quit working. the pan rail number is 2801541 which traces to a 67-68 Chrysler/Dodge /Plymouth . I've taken it partially apart and it has 4 pinion planetaries front and rear. What else would distinguish a...

Im putting together a 1974 727 from a 1974/440 truck for my 71 charger. But, of course, several parts are iffy, and I have two more parts trans available. But I am wondering about balance issues ( if any) between different years. For instance in my 1974 tranny, the rear drum is toast, and I...

OK, I bought a core 727 and Im going to rebuild it myself. BUT how can one tell if it has been kitted before? I don't necessarily want a shift kit, but I need to know. I know kits go into the valve body so any telltale signs would be there, but it would only be a hole drilled through the plate...

OK, about 2010 I bought a 383 on Craigslist for 350 bucks. When I got there the guy told me more about the motor, that his dad had built for some kind of stock car or roundy- round class that he had in a 67 coronet. It was an old school offset ground steel crank stroker with Chevy rods and...

Hi, I couldnt find this in the archives but I know it has to have been asked. Does anybody sell the half/topper/canopy (whatever you want to call it ) vinyl roof for a 71 charger? Legendary and Year One doesn't list one

Well my buddy went ahead and grabbed that big block(383) 71 Charger/SE I was asking about on here a couple weeks ago. First order of business: Steering column woes= The previous owner got rid of the whole power steering setup and put in a Flaming river stainless tilt column and...

So if u had a 1971 SE Charger that came with the 383 four barrel engine and the rear valence has dual cut outs for exhaust, would that mean the motor was a 383 magnum?? The vin is M code so we know its a 4 barrel 383, but Im not sure what that means exactly. Were all 4 barrel 383s HP/ Magnum or...

Im eyeing a non b-body 1968 Mopar two door (68 Fury II, 2 door sedan), that came equipped with the 383 commando 2 bbl engine. I want to do a compression check on it. What should the readings have been brand new? Owner has done one himself and says one cylinder is about 10psi low. He says it...

What are the rules for flat towing MOPARS equipped with automatics? If I go get this car and drop the driveshaft to flat tow it, wont tranny fluid pour out all over the peoples driveway from the tail shaft? Not sure how happy they will be. If I stick it in neutral and flat tow it with...

Ok , this 72 charger I have been looking at buying , it turns out it was sandblasted. Not the underside, engine bay or interior, just the outside. But you know it had to get into the cowl, doors, rockers ,quarters , etc. Frame rails are probably ok. But , yes, upon closer inspection the...

OK, this is off topic, but at least its Mopar. I tried to sign up to the Forward Look group, but it didn't work, so I am asking here. There's a 1958 Coronet 2 door sedan here that somebody I know wants to get rid of very, very cheaply ( 1000 bucks). I have only seen the car from a distance...

OK , I am back, I was bellyaching in June about a 1971 charger that got away. Well I'm back and now I have found a complete 72 charger ho-hum 318/column shift/bench seat /8.25 rear end car. It seems pretty straight and solid ( except for some trunk gutter spots and rear window corners) Not too...
