    Yet another 408 stroker recipe thread

    So, I'm looking ahead to 2024 and have decided to shelve the idea of putting a 400/440 in the SSP cuz too many other things need to be changed out for a SB-BB swap. I'm thinking stroking the 360LA that's in it will give me what I'm looking for: a lower rpm, stump puller type 408, budget street...

    Who's had experience with Original Air?

    I'm getting nothing even after charging the system, think the compressor is shot. Has anyone worked with Original Air restoring services? How much to rebuild the compressor? I gotta figure the shipping will be pricey for the RV2. Thanks.

    SB to BB Radiator hoses - School Me

    Take me to school. I'm tickling with the idea of replacing the 360 in my '73 SSP with a 400. I've spend a few $s recoring and rebrassing the 26" radiator in the car so I'd sure like to use it with a BB but the upper rad hose connects to the drivers side. Do they make hoses that swap sides to...

    Anyone know this '75?

    https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/plymouth/road-runner/2578283.html I'm starting to get the jones for a '75 RR. Long hood, short deck, but needs to be a 400 and clean. But IMHO, $65k feels a little like a reach :rofl: Anyone know the car or the seller? Thanks.

    WTB '73 and Up BB k-frame

    Doing a SB to BB swap in a '73 B body. Just need the k-frame, but it has to have come from a BB car. 1973 and later, Chrysler offered 3 different k-frames: for /6, SB and BB V-8s. Can come from a Cordoba, Fury, whatever, as long as it had a 400 or 440. I'll need to see pics and a p/n pic...

    Swapping '72 440 drivetrain into my '73: What do I need?

    3 years ago, I bought my '73 SSP (318/904/8.25) after I totaled my '72 GTX clone (440/727/8.75). I pulled the 318 and put in a warmed up 360, mating it to the 904 and 8.25 (except I put in a non-stock converter, 3.55 gears and Sure Grip into the 8.25 rear end). Well, the guy I sold the '72 GTX...

    Will '71 Charger RT exhaust fit '73 Plymouth B-body?

    Mechanic buddy has the aftermarket exhaust (Accurate or TTI) from a '71 Charger RT. Wondering if it will fit on my '73 Satellite SP? Questions are chassis length, gas tank placement, etc. I figure the headpipes wouldn't, but maybe from the mufflers back...? The '71 Charger exhaust is in VG used...

    Buyer Beware - Rick Ehrenberg

    Yes, that Rick Ehrenberg, long time tech editor for your favorite Mopar magazine. I bought a rebuilt 340 (oil pan to intake, less exhaust manifolds) from Rick in the summer of 2017. While he didn’t build it, he said he knew the engine builder who did and he’d stand behind the engine. The...

    Over to Plan B...

    The '72 340 I bought for the '73 Satellite was torn down and found to have significant scoring in the bores due to it sitting around for years. Condensation took that puppy down. So, my mechanic buddy has an LA 360 block and crank that's been sitting in an oiled bag since 2010. Bored .030 over...

    Correct Color for Inserts on '73 '74 Roadrunner Hood

    What was the factory color on the inserts? The orange-y paint has faded on the inserts in the hood I'm going to restore. Also, I remember seeing a thread somewhere on some board from someone who put chicken wire in place of the inserts, to let cool air in and/or hot underhood air out. Anyone...

    What Cam for this 318? Setup performance?

    I've gone around the horn, from a 408 stroker to a built 360 to a stock 340 and back to the 408. A hard look in the mirror says a $$ engine build doesn't have the value for me. I've had my fun with two HP 440s, I'm gonna dial it way back and...go the poor man's route on the 318 in the car...

    Blasting the Undercarriage - Stupid Question?

    The undercarriage of my '73 Satellite is generally scaly and cruddy. Not rusty, just scaly and grungy looking (pics forthcoming). Was thinking about going to a bead blaster to see if they'd blast the underside. If they cover the car, will sand get into the interior? I'm not looking to strip the...

    '73-74 Strut Rod Sway Bar bracket/clip - Pics

    Hey there. I bought a factory front sway bar to go on my '73 Satty that did not have a front sway bar originally. I see that I'm missing the lower control arm brackets, but I can get those off eBag. Can I get them anywhere else? What I'm also missing is a clip or bracket that attaches the end of...
