    67 Coronet engine question

    Just put a down payment on a 67 convertible that I stumbled across. It’s a 2 owner car, unrestored. One re paint and new top was put on in the 90s but overall it’s a very original car with a small block…. So would it be a 318 or 273?

    Cam degreeing question

    Decided it would be a good idea to double check the cam degrees before final assembly. It’s a .484 MP cam. The book recommends 108 degrees. First time we did it, we got 106. Double checked our steps and got the same number. Tried another timing chain and gears on it, then repeated the...

    Piston to valve clearance

    Here are the details. 383 with flat tops, no valve reliefs, black has been decked .020”, heads planned .050”. We are running the .484” cam with adjustable rocker arms. With the recommended lash (using solid lifters) there is just under .100” for clearance and this is with the steel shim head...

    Rocker arm questions...

    I have a set if Isky adjustable rocker arms and the adjustment screws (for setting lash) are worn. I’m not having any luck finding replacements.... can someone point me in the right direction? My second question is, can I swap out the current style (that takes the cupped pushrod) for a style...

    Aluminum engine parts.... painted or bare?

    I have an aluminum intake, water pump, and housing that will be going on the 383 build in the near future. Just wondering what everyone does with regards to paint. First option, leave them bare. Second is to paint them an aluminum color. Third opinion is to paint them same color as engine...

    Stock oil pan on street build 383?

    just wondering what your opinions are on if the stock oil pan has enough capacity for a 400 HP 383. Gonna be placing a summit order next week to get the remaining parts we need to complete the build. The engine will have a windage tray and high volume pump. Thanks

    Over priced Bee....

    This is an example of how crazy the prices are getting around my area for old Mopars. The funny thing is that I recall someone posting this same car on here a couple months ago when it was $5000 less. Even then, everyone told the guy it was worth nowhere near the asking price BUT since then...

    Restorations.... time each week spent on them?

    first off, I would like to tip my hat to each and every one of you guys that spent countless hours and dollars fixing up our beloved B bodies. The average person will never know how much of our lives are dedicated to resurrecting them. With that being said, I spend anywhere's between 10-15...

    Differences in 906 heads....

    I’m sure a lot of guys on here already know this but for those who don’t, I discovered something about 906 heads the other day. Both heads were taken off of the same engine but the stands that the rocker shafts bolt to are different. Recently, I purchased a set of Isky adjustable rockers off...

    Front disc brake conversion question....

    I’ve had this done for a while now but am second guessing myself on something. Do the calipers mount towards the rear of the car or the front? I checked my instructions and it is not at all clear and am having no luck getting through to the text line. It is “the right stuff” kit with power...

    Steering box fitment

    After installing the k member in our 70 Runner last night, we noticed the steering box is up against the inner fender. I checked our parts car and it appears to be about the same. Is this normal and if not, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

    Getting Back On All Fours...

    Our 70 RR shell has been in the rotisserie for many years now, and we are FINALLY ready to bring her back to the garage floor. Just have a few more pieces to complete the K member assembly and should be good to go. I have a question to those that have done this part of a resto before.... is...

    Rear Brake Line with Frame Connectors & Torque Boxes

    Installed frame connectors and torque boxes on a 70 RR and now has come time to put the rear brake line on. As near as I can tell, it is supposed to go up over the torque box and then pass through a difficult spot through the frame connector. It was a painful process and has resulted in the...

    Hello from New Brunswick

    Hey guys and gals. 34 years old, currently fixing up a 70 Road Runner with my dad that has been in the works for many years. Proud to say that I learned how to row gears when I was just 4 years old sitting on the bench seat of a 73 RR squeezing that pistol grip tight with both hands.... very...
