Yesterday was the day for my final VIN/roadworthiness inspection. It passed with flying colors, so now I can officially get my plates and get it registered. 🎉 Just a few more weeks to button some things up and get it resprayed properly (the paintwork I had done last year was a **** job) and then...
Instead of focusing on what the material is, I think the focus should be which of the panels are more accurate in design and grain texture. It's been years since I bought mine, so I don't remember the exact details, but I believe it was the Metro panels were the good ones to buy. When the owner...
What is the name of the bars that are missing here? Trying to get the right term to search for replacements. Does anyone have any available? 2 sets left and right side needed.
Smooth running, starts immediately every time. I installed a 16:1 manual steering box and it's definitely an improvement, but still have to strong arm a 3pt turn a little.
.030 overbore, .030 off the block, .060 off the head. Head I did a mild port/polish and gasket match, standard size valves but I had them back cut, 340 springs with comp cams retainers - 48cc chambers. Entire assembly balanced (I'm pretty shocked at how much material was removed off towards the...
I had a 2002 Dakota with a 5.9, that was the best truck I've ever owned hands down. It made it to 280,000 miles and the only major repairs needed were replacing the heads, because it's common for them to crack between valves, and the front transfer case. Unfortunately some asshat pulled in front...
I went with Vintage Air, after seeing a lot of other posts it seemed to be the easiest to install with less hassles and minimal mods.
Since I refuse to buy a new car (sick of all the electronic bs, huge ass touchscreens and the new government mandate to allow anyone to remotely shut off your...
I'm finally closing in on the finish line. This was my dad's that he bought in '73, parked in '87 and I rescued in '14. I tore it apart and did a complete nut and bolt restoration on it, kept the slant 6 (upgraded it though), upgraded the 3spd to a 4spd OD, upgraded to disc brakes, upgraded to...
I would email Dan Brewer, he is *the* expert when it comes to Mopar manual transmissions and all the variations. He'll have you set straight very quickly

Nice! Another 1st week of LA production C0E (mine is BH23C0E100322) Slanty. Another member also had a JH23C0E just a couple hundred #s higher than mine, owned it since '73 but recently sold it (still has its slant like mine). You've done some fine work to this one
It was a fun project, I was just being a cheap ass about buying a metal set (they are nearly 100% correct in all dimensions, only the very top center button isn't correct, but it's easy enough to add the indent), but after dialing everything in and doing all the post process work, it just ended...
Here's a link to the 70/71 rally wheel center caps. It's really not worth the time and effort to print them versus buying a real metal set unless you want to shave off 1 lb per wheel, but it was a fun project.

Based on all the reading and the photos, this is nowhere near a survivor and the prior owner(s) did a lot of modifications. I've never seen a Dana rear end on a factory 318 car, that absolutely makes no sense. Having the 440 call outs makes me believe that a prior owner had a 440 in it and...
