    I'm from BC Canada but I travel to Calgary often, and I have seen your Step Dad's new Charger (formerly Penny's) up close and personal a few times over the decades. It is one of the finest examples I myself and many others have ever seen.... that Car is literally "perfect' and an absolutely...

    68 Hemi RT Charger values

    At THIS current presenting juncture of economic fundamentals .... where 'costs' of money are rising substantially, imo, the above represents pretty sound advice. I would suggest restoration costs, ongoing supply chain constraints and quickly skyrocketing Labor imputs .... and depending upon...

    Hood Clearance Question

    Without more information regarding Camshaft/Headers etc., on the '75 440 ? No question the Holley Street Dominator. It's a sure-fire fit with no clearance issues, and again without more info regarding 'size' of the Cam/rpm range the Street Dominator can equal and even better the TM7 in most...

    Trick Flow 240 vs Stealth heads

    Agreed, If you go the 512 route the Stealth's are IMO, out of their league in any reworked incarnation. Being up in Canada we used to charge $1,000 CAD(about $750 USD) for what we called a "Street Port" on new OOTB Stealth's.... Ported all the way through/pushrod pinch etc and with redone Seat...

    Trick Flow 240 vs Stealth heads

    IMO, everything else equal, any hp gains TF Vrs Stealth should be proportional to the "average" flow increases the Engine can utilize ? My best guess from your info might be 25-30 hp peak with average hp gains obviously lower. IMO, when making a comparison such as this it's important to remember...

    Newly built 440 with low oil pressure

    Depends upon the Bearing 'eccentricity' now doesn't it ? and how much time does it spend and how COLD really ? P Bearings can exhibit .0045" to sometimes as much as .0065" Clearance over closer to the parting lines depending upon the 'crush' applied during Housing Sizing. H's and V's...

Although with interest rates rising...

    Best place to find a nice ‘68 R/T to buy?

    Nope..... but I've had friendly contests two that have claiming low 14's/High 13's, an A-Body Duster 340 4spd and a 396 Nova respectively.... the latter definitely full of sh*t.... NO contest, I don't think that thing was right at all ? and the Dustbin was 2 outa 3 really close runs, more just...

    Best way to value 68 charger R/T?

    Why it seems just about every Charger for sale has fresh thick undercoating?

    Noise Reduction Pkg seems to have been both outside noise and "inside" for creature comfort ? My Charger besides the undercoating for a California only destined Sale vehicle also has some rather 'unique' sound deadening panels on the firewall/inside door panels and on and on complete with the...
