Yup, cause they are effective. Back in my short track oval car racing days, tried a variety of fan combinations. Most effective was a large, fixed blade fan with a clutch. Anything else would eventually creep up the temp and boil over.

Nice! As was the Whattaburger order #68.

That doesn't look so bad that a .010 cut wouldn't clean it up. But verify with your favorite machine shop. He stated at the end of the picture reply that it was not a baffled sup pan.

You're right. In my fat finger typing mode, I got em backwards.

The SS springs you took off have a bias built in to them to allow the car to launch straight at the drag strip. This bias tend to make the drivers side of the car sit higher. Mismatching the bolt holes for the spring mounting is one way to compensate for this appearance. Adjusting the opposite...

Glad to hear you have a plan of attack. The QA1 shock will certainly help with improving ride quality. Interesting to hear that you have SS springs. It appears these have been modified as the picture posted did not look like them. The 2" shorter segment is a dead give-away that's what they are...

Those are the standard low end small block headers for all Dodge and Plymouth cars. This exact configuration has been made by Headman, Hooker, Mr Gasket, Blackjack, Cyclone, etc, so on and so forth. They are a decent budget header. At $140 for coated units, this isn't a bad price. As others...

Don't they make a kit for drum spindles as well? Might be easier to pick those up than disc spindles.

Is there demand, not much. Is there value, yes. The value may be more in the parts than the whole, so I certainly wouldn't toss it. I have seen an auto on the column with bucket seats in several cars, including mine. All of the ones I've seen like this were 73 and 74 models. To MoparLeo's...

When the axle is under the springs, that is a riser block because it will lift the vehicle. When the axle is over the springs, as in our cars, it is a lowering block. This black has nothing to do with ride quality unless it lowers the car so far the axle tubes are hitting the bump stops. At...

Ahh, yes it does. Their B body bars are wider and bolt on at the lower shock mount. I suppose you could use one of those on an E body. Cruise night judges will criticize you harshly for doing so because it won't be going through the K frame as they mount in front of it. In my use on a B body...

I've seen this most often on Addco bars - Dodge Challenger 1970-74 Front - Addco It is simply a thick, about .25", angle bracket with two holes in it. You can see them in the picture at the above link. They are sitting next to the bracket that holds the bushing. My last B body project used this...

Welding the mounting brackets to the control arm is the best method, but not a requirement for use. Some after market bars will have kits for cars with or without existing mounts. Kits for cars without mounts will include a bolt on bracket that attaches with the lower shock bolt. These are very...

The newer Challengers are actually narrower than the old ones. Taller too.

...and 18 have more tire choice than 17, and 16s are getting harder and harder to find and 15 selection sucks. Its a bit of a wild goose chase as tire manufactures continue to evolve the performance tire genre. IMO, stay with 15s, get a nice cosmetic performance tire, driver it regularly and...
