If it's pot metal then I won't be TIG welding it. I'll just use the JB weld. Do you actually know for sure if these are pot metal?

I am running a bone stock 2015 charger RT 5.7 engine. It is in a 1969 Dodge Coronet 440 base model. The goal of this project was to have a nice daily driver 69 Coronet.

I saw those but they are $135. I can JB weld and paint my existing one for a lot less. If I could TIG it then the cost would be next to nothing.

I'm converting to the dial shifter for the 8hp70 in my 69 Coronet 5.7 swap. I'm going to locate it in the dash and recess it in the space currently occupied by the ashtray. This car originally had an auto column shifter. I've removed it and from what I can tell everybody just uses jb weld to...

I did it and it was actually pretty easy if you're willing to spend the money. I used the Holley mounts. I only had to cut the flange between the firewall and floor pan in on small spot to allow the vent tube to pass through. Of course you have to cut the castings off the side of the...

The only way I've heard to make the stock switch work is with a time delay relay. I think they did it on roadkill. The stock switch cuts power to run when you move the key towards start. As soon as run loses power the asd relay shuts it down. If you connect the ignition on wire to a time...

Check out https://www.youtube.com/c/DIYHEMI on YouTube. They have a few junkyard gold videos and wiring videos. If you are looking for economical I think he found that the Jeep Commander with the 5.7 and 54rfe was the cheapest to obtain and easiest to install. The 727 doesn't require much...

Good tip. I actually have a bunch of smaller wheels that were too small for other purposes.

I certainly have a few options. 1. Cap system 2. Drill through and use a bolt 3. Tack welds 4. Create groove with Dremel cut off wheel 1. The cap system might be pretty easy and I could just tack weld it on from the outside. It would not be difficult to remove. Pretty good option. 2...

Nah, that piece that sticks out is only on the back. The front is just long enough for the dust boot to slip on. I think it's because I decided to save money and not buy the more expensive AMD cross member.

I thought that was a groove too but I stuck a pic in it and it's just how the grease is laying. I stuck the pic back in there and couldn't find anything resembling a groove.

Thanks for the pics! Yep, certainly odd. Yours appears to be in the very back. I thought my original one was too. Guess I need to bust out the dremel!

Hi, I was wondering if anybody knows about how deep into the back of the torsion bar cross member the retainer clip groove is located? I replaced the cross member a couple years ago and just got the new suspension in last weekend. I went to put the clips in and I couldn't find the groove. I...

Hi, I was considering the following setup and was wondering if anyone has any personal experience with this and whether or not it will work. 1969 Dodge Coronet QA1 k-member. 2012 car 5.7 (low mount AC) Borgeson PS box From what I've read the TTI headers do not fit this setup. Is that like a...

I'm doing a 5.7 8hp70 swap in a 1969 Coronet right now. The engine swap isn't that bad. They make a lot of the stuff for it especially for our cars. You'll need some type of engine control system. I'm going to alter the factory harness following information on diyhemi.com. You'll need a mid...

I'm doing this swap on a 2012 5.7 from a Charger. Is there a detailed walk through on doing the oil pan swap? I'm finding as I get into it that there are a lot of things that would not be obvious to most when initially ordering parts. I've searched this forum and other forums and most seem to...

I'm wondering if anyone has used the QA1 tubular k member and if so would the better oil pan clearance allow me to retain the factory 5.7 front sump oil pan or would I still need to get the milodon mid sump pan etc? I'd like to use the Qa1 k member 52315 with the Mancini mounts SCHBCE57H to put...

I will be be doing that with another paint system. This candy is just for the exterior panels.

I went with the breath cool full face mask. That one and the hobby air were both very reasonable. The breath cool had better reviews.

I ordered small 8oz cans just to do spray outs and I still have a few weeks before I'm ready to spray so I can play around. I'm going to do another spray out later today. I'm going to stagger my test panel so I can see what 4 vs 5 and 6 coats looks like side by side. When I did my initial...
