    Hemi Gen 2 vs Gen 3

    I am building my 446 for my project 69 Roadrunner with Fast EFI and Distributor and MSD - 6al Digital spark control, w/ MSD Blaster SS coil to help it be a little more street friendly and better on fuel, plus if I add the GearVendor's OD, I really shouldn't have to worry about mileage. Plus a...

    Hemi Gen 2 vs Gen 3

    I'm thinking of putting a Gen III in my 69 Roadrunner and was wondering what installation problems I might run into. I'm planning on using a TCI A 904 transmission behind it and depending on finances, maybe a GearVendors OD. I'm mainly worried about getting the motor in the engine bay with the...

    Whats everyone working on?

    Here's what started the whole remodeling gig. My wife's surgery in January left her partially disabled so I designed and built her a handicapped shower. Everyone that sees it really likes it. I'm 72 and have been working 7 days a week without a break. Last night I was under the house until 12:30...

    Whats everyone working on?

    I've been working my a$$ off. I've lost almost 60 lbs since I started back in March and 10" in the waist. Not to mention the money I could have put into my car but momma is happy. Once the kitchen is done, I'm tearing out all the carpet on the first floor and installing engineered oak hardwood...

    B Body K member Best Upgrade

    That's why I installed a U.S. Car Tools body stiffening kit on mine. I don't want any body twist when I'm hitting the mountain curves or motocross at the shows.

    B Body K member Best Upgrade

    If you're really serious, get the Reilly Motorsports front suspension: AlterKtion Coil-Over System, Street/Handling, 66-72 B-body, 383/440 Mounts (reillymotorsports.com) It's spendy $5K. I'm using a QA-1 tubular K member and tubular control arms with Reilly Motorsports in the rear because I...

    POLL: What Year RoadRunner is best

    Very similar but it was a Roadrunner with a pearl white vinyl top and rally wheels.

    Lookie what $5000 buys you....

    I had two 440 blocks, one was an HP block and one was out of a Chrysler New Yorker. The speed shop doing my machining suggested that they sonic test the blocks before boring them to check for any issues with the blocks and the thickness of the cylinder castings. Then he told me how much it would...

    POLL: What Year RoadRunner is best

    I really loved my 68 B-5 Blue Roadrunner but the 70 with the 426 Hemi, Air Grabber, 727, and Trac Pak I saw in the showroom in B-5 blue with a pearl white vinyl top and white interior was my all-time favorite. I should have bought it when I had the chance. When I went back to buy it, someone...

    Axles design limits???

    I completely agree with MoparDanMan, be sure you have the 489 case differential housing. I have purchased a nodular iron case for my 69 Roadrunner Pro-Touring project but I had an 8 3/4 in my 64 Stage III Plymouth 4 speed car that hit 802 HP on the dyno and never had a problem with it. I did...

    1969 Roadrunner K member bolt size and thread.

    Removing my K member, one of the bolts broke off and I'm having no luck using an ez-out so I may have to drill most of it out then run a tap through it. Can anyone tell me what size bolt it is and the thread pitch so I can purchase a tap? Thank you in advance, Vic, 41dodge

    Made This In High School back in 1977

    It's a 69 Hardtop that I'm installing a U.S. Car Tools body stiffening kit, mini tubs, spring relocating the rears for a Reilly MotorSports triangulated rear suspension. I'm using QA01 tubular K member and control arms, I've built a .030 over 440 with TRW pistons, Comp Hydraulic roller cam, main...

    Made This In High School back in 1977

    I'm sorry if I offended some people, especially YY1, about the fatherless statement, it's what I see in way too many cases. Either that or the father's don't care or know what or how to teach their kids. I'm self-taught on most things. When I wanted to learn to weld, I grabbed a stinger and...

    Made This In High School back in 1977

    One of the sad realities is that our government has made it too easy for men to abandon their families and the kids grow up fatherless. Another gritch I have is they spend too much of their time playing video games. I've tried to get my youngest grandson interested in cars and even gave him a...

    Made This In High School back in 1977

    I was a voracious reader, my father subscribed to Popular Mechanics and Popular Science and in the summer of 56, there was an article about a father and son project on how to build a go-kart. I asked my father if we could build one. He said it sounded like a good idea and told me to start...

    Made This In High School back in 1977

    I loved our Auto Shop II class. Actually we had a project that was a combination of Auto Shop, Machine Shop, and Metal Shop because we used all three to build a nitro-burning dragster. In a way, it was ahead of it's time for 1965-66. The driver sat ahead of the 1953 Ford flathead 255 cubic inch...

    A toast

    You gotta dream, otherwise, life and the nightmares take over and that's no fun. A few snorts never hurt to kickstart the dreams either.

    My 63 Max Wedge

    Actually I've had it to 65 on the freeway a few times. Rather windy and noisy and tends to wander but I'll bet protesters won't try to block me. My brakes don't always work, officer. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! It's a 1969 5 ton with a Big Block Cummins. I had a loaded cement truck...

    My 63 Max Wedge

    By the way, it's not fast, or a MOPAR but you wouldn't believe the places this thing will go. I went up a hill with the front wheels bouncing off the ground, it was that steep. Halfway up, my passenger had gotten out and said he would walk up. He said he kept waiting for me to flip over. I drank...
