Should be able to get one out of the junkyard. Also, if your budget allows, get the modern transmission too. It will cost more upfront and for other items, but the modern transmission and engine will be worth it. If you go magnum, get the overdrive trans. The non electrical version will be...
If those are older "X" or "J" heads, they have a CC of 68-70. If they are off a 72 charger, then they have a cc of 73. I wouldn't waste my money on those or the intake. You have to figure out what block you are going to use then go from there. Like I said, if you are going to use your 318...
It won't do anything on your 318 unless you change out the pistons. The CR on a stock 318 is terrible. That's why in the article they use the 302 heads listed and get the CCs down to about 52. Using those heads is the cheapest way to do it. Any other head and you need new pistons. In the...
I have the original 318 in my Barracuda. I built the original engine like this ... 318 Small Block Build - How To - Hot Rod Magazine
I went a little extra.. I went with a retro roller cam and Speedmaster aluminum heads (they are 40 percent off for their black friday sale). To make up the...
I found a pic online of a 74 Challenger with white kick panels. From what I am reading, the kick panels match the color of the carpet. Since no white carpet, no white kick panels... from the factory. I kind of like the white kick panels though.
My panels are black already. I did see a car with a white interior and they had white kick panels. That is why I thought they were supposed to be white as well.
I was going to paint the kick panels and the rear side panels as well. I wonder if I need 4 cans? Is this paint available in a bigger container that I can use a spray gun myself?
How many coats are needed and how long will a can last? Can I get by with cans? I am thinking of getting new front door panels but will paint the rest.
OK, thanks. I was curious if the back part had any clearance issues. I would get all the old paint off of them and then coat them with some thermal paint. Eastwood has it and they also have a coating for the inside.
RRBBKK - those in the pic are from a stock 92-93 Ram/ Dakota? I thought that had more of a log style manifold. Do you have a picture of them in your car?
The ones in your pic look like the ones in my second link. I like those more than the block huggers.
What about shorty headers? My car will be mainly for street, hopped up 318, so I wanted something that will give best ground clearance and not restrict power like manifolds. I was looking at block hugger shorties, like from Speedmaster. Price is cheap. Anyone run these? Here is a link...
I am thinking of replacing my fuel tank in my 71 barracuda. It has 4 vent tubes on right side. I see a holley tank but it looks like there is only 1 vent tube on right side but says it is a stock replacement tank. I called their tech support but he couldn't answer why there was only 1 vent...
Hey MoparCarGuy, I don't recall having those small retainer rings on my pins? Though I didn't look when I took off the old one. I wonder if the new emblems come with those retainers.
After more research, it looks like the adhesive backing piece attaches to the black plastic piece with the pins in the back. Therefore there is really only 1 to mount to the dash pad, with the pins. Does it just push through and the material of the pad hold it on?
