    Arizona 1970 Challenger RT going RestoMod

    Welcome to FEBO from the desert about 140 miles southeast of you! Stroker 440 or Gen III hemi? Flip a coin! Both are fun and will make gobs of torque! 😁 And folks here have done both and will help answer questions which ever way you decide.

    383 oil pan

    The main thing with motor oil is to change it regularly. If you need a new pan, 440 Source has some good ones! I've bought multiple pans from them. Also, the original pan was 4 quart (one quart in the big old oil filter) and the 440-6 and Hemi pans were 6 quart (one quart in the filter). So...

    Hilarious. My car is 180 degrees from this…

    Lots of parts have been swapped on my 70 Challenger because I put about 170,000 miles on it as a daily driver for twenty years! But this is a place for concurs matching Mopars!

    1970 cuda hood

    I have only bought AMD sheet metal, however I have bought other OER products (windshield wipers, window crank assemblies, throttle cable) and I'm happy with them. It will probably need some prep work before painting, but so does AMD.

    AAR resto

    🙁 Don't really see how it's in specification according to the factory service manual. Sigh! Yes we seem to be stuck lately with inferior craftsmanship on car parts!

    So CNC isn't going to replace their out of spec crankshaft? Well they just went on the Mopar ****list! Is there any machine shop near you who might be able to fix CNC's fubar crankshaft? Sorry, .030" on one throw may be OK, but it doesn't belong on a Cuda like yours!!

    If it's to good to be true. It probably is!

    I don't think I would want to be near anyone outside who has been struck by lightning more than once! Especially since I'm pretty tall (6'3")! I agree, lotteries are a scam. I think a better solution for raising money for a charity is a 50/50 raffle! The charity will get half and the one lucky...

    Oh, another button that is gone that would be appropriate for you guys with the sub 0°F temperatures! 😯

    Let's hear from the desert & Florida guys?

    I don't think my thermometer goes negative numbers! I do have a mercury thermometer on the back patio. Seriously, what do you do when it's 0°F or below? I don't see how you could do anything outside!

    Part of that knowledge is yours now! 🙂 When you recover a little from the money you've spent, you can get a clutch fan from Mancini. https://www.manciniracing.com/viscousfan.html

    It's built like it should have a piece of rubber at the one end.

    How's this working out.

    I walk the twin labradors in the morning everyday before the sun comes up. I'm in a t-shirt and no jacket unless it's below 25°F (my threshold). My neighbors think I'm crazy! I tell them, in the summer when it's 100+ and I'm walking in shorts and a t-shirt, you probably think it makes sense, but...

    Well, that's a lot of work on your Cuda in one year! And with all the knuckle busting you've done, you have learned a lot and can now help others! I like that you replaced the clear plastic fuel filter with a metal one! That plastic one is an engine fire waiting to happen! TTI headers look...

    Balmy 64°F here in Southeast Arizona. Lowest low this winter was 25°F for one day. We have had a warm wet winter here.

    .030" is excessive. I know folks used to run stock big block Chevy rods on Mopar cranks offset ground for more stroke and had lots of excessive side clearance (Chevy Rods are thinner). Personally as an ex-crankshaft grinder, I'd be pissed because it's a FUBAR situation no matter how you look...
