I purchased a Durango with a rod knock. When I pulled the 5.2 engine out to rebuild, with 130K miles on it, I found all rod bearings were worn down to the copper. I rebuilt a 5.9 out of a Ram 1500 with about 110k miles on it and found all rod bearings were worn down to the copper just showing...

Made in China rubber only lasts about a year. I give parts like that the sniff test. If it smells like walking into Harbor Freight store you know it has garbage China rubber. The rubber deteriorates too fast.

I have heard the shifter mount bracket for the 71 B-body with bench seat called a dog bone.

Depends how complete engine is and condition. I gladly paid $1500 for block , crank, heads, and manifolds.

I didn't think they were too much noisier. Not like it had solid lifters set on loose side.

I used these lifters for the fact of easier starting with a long duration cam. You get full cam lift at higher RPM.

I bought a 67 Belvedere convertible with slant 6 auto. The first time I jacked up the rear end, I went to check the gear ratio. I find out it was a I believe 2.41 ratio suregrip to my surprise. 8 3/4" rear end of course.

I really feel that the aerodynamics of these old cars are unsafe to cruise with traffic, over 100 mph. The cars do lift and get flighty. You would really have to be able to afford the car and afford modifying it.

Neutral and drive are in that wide center slot.

I use Sil-Glyde

I am almost betting there is a cable tie or wire holding the throttle valve lever on transmission all the way back.

I have been contemplating going to that Edelbrock Performer RPM combo for a while. The intake seems even taller than the TorquerII. I like hiding everything under stock air cleaner.

I have always liked the Edelbrock TorkerII intake and cam set up in my 340 duster.

I would pull valve covers off and check valve springs. Maybe a broken or weak one.

Any kind of high stall converter needs an additional trans cooler. I sure ballooned my first 3500 stall converter.

A 727 can almost be done blindfolded by any reputable trans shop. I believe the costs come in for warranty purposes. If the shop stands behind their work.

I thought the Dana axle shafts were a larger diameter than 8 3/4.

I looked up the pioneer brand super rebuild kit from O'Reilly is $121 my price. It includes filter, bands, bushings and steels also. About what I would expect the price to be. I remember bringing my transmission in to a shop to be rebuilt back in '85. It cost $120 parts and labor. In '87 I...

You need to make sure there is no coolant or debris at bottom of head bolt holes. If there is debris at bottom of holes, the head bolts will tighten up but wont clamp down the head. Head bolts do not need sealant on their threads. Exhaust bolts need sealant because they go into coolant passage.

Those peal and stick thermostat gaskets are crap. The adhesive side of gasket separates and leaks. I use the Felpro gasket with a little bit of Permatex sealer.
