Did you install the rear shock crossmember? it seems it would have been easier to install before the trunk pan.

I had a new aluminum radiator &water pump, and it was a fresh build. I wonder how much suction a water pump actually pulls.

Just something to check; with the engine up to temp, so thermostat is open, open the hood and watch the engine idling... rev up the engine a little and see if the lower radiator hose is collapsing. My 408 Cuda was doing this, and I saw it by accident. The lower radiator hose is the suction...

Start the car when its dead cold and feel with your bare hands at the suspected leak; you will only have a few seconds until its too hot, but it should be enough. And Remflex gaskets are the only thing that would seal my headers.

Beautiful job!

You will/should feel a lot of resistance when the oil pressure builds up; also maybe plumb in a mechanical oil pressure gauge, temporarily, to confirm you have good pressure. I did a Magnum swap on my old Ramcharger, the factory gauge & sender always read low and was a concern. but the...

Yes I used a gasket. I don’t remember the length. You are going to have to mock it up and see what you need.

I used #8 machine screws, with nyloc nuts.

I will look at mine tomorrow and update, unless someone else knows for sure.

Remember, back when these cars were built they had bias ply tires which were crap for cornering. Good radial tires with a stiffer sidewall will expose the need for heavier T-bars and sway bars. I dont remember the brand, but I put new T-bars on my Challenger (went from 340 factory engine to...

The long one is the lower support that fits b/t the radiator support and the k frame.

FYI, if you want to install a factory looking exhaust, the original mufflers were canisters and located b/t the rear axle and the rear valance WITH a bolt on heat shield on the bottom of the trunk floor. The correct exhaust tips attach directly to the muffler output. Fortunately this stuff is...

It could have had dual exhaust, but it was two regular pipes dumping under the valance, but on a 318 car I dont think they would bother.

I believe 1970 California built cars were not available with the dual exhaust through the valance. This could be another "dealer installed" item, but then the tips would be correct. Still a very nice car.

Other than the magnum timing cover not having a fuel pump provision (I have not seen Jegs) all the accessories will bolt up. Some year magnums had a balanced converter, some had a balanced flex plate, if you have a converter with weights on it , I would remove them and get a magnum balanced...
