    Winterized.

    Went out for one last run around the neighborhood today before putting it up for the winter. I may get some more drives in but it depends on when they salt the roads. Couple big burnouts in front of the house, topped off fuel with stabilizer, disconnected the battery, made a chore list of stuff...

    FOR SALE RB B/E body hedmann headers

    Far N. Ca. Had these on my Challenger with a 440 for many years, upgraded to TTI with the new engine I built. How about a hundred bucks plus shipping? They are dented for clearance, I can show more pictures if you'd like.

    FOR SALE Offenhauser RB intake and big block valve covers

    In far N. Ca. They'd polish up pretty well but not show quality. Had them on my 440 forever, switched over to a Holley SD for the new engine. Not sure what they go for so lets say 500 for the set plus shipping? I'd do the intake alone but only willing to part with the valve covers if the...

    FOR SALE Challenger console insert

    Far N. Ca. Doing a shop cleanout and this is just going to be in the way. I redid mine in leather, this is out of a 72 Challenger, not sure if they're the same for all four years. Definitely not in perfect shape but would be fine for a driver, or for someone to refinish? Repops at Classic are...

    FOR SALE .040 over 440 rings, Total Seal

    Came with my 440 Source stroker kit, machinist didn't like the sizing so he recommended a different set. I'm no expert and just went with his recommendation. No need for these so if anyone needs them how's 50 bucks plus shipping?

    Older Mopar branded MSD 6al box - how to set rev limiter? ...and which distributor?

    I've got the old black Mopar branded MSD 6al box on my car. It's supposed to have rev limiter ability and I've seen reference to 3k, 5k, 6k, and 7k "buttons" to program it. The instructions and any spare parts or "buttons" are long lost 15 or more years ago, probably 20, and I'd like to set up...

    Next project... Wheel bearings went out, spindles are apparently harder to find than I thought. Options?

    Wheel bearing ate passenger side spindle this morning, took both sides apart and figure I better replace both for safety. Was hoping to just throw OEM stuff back on for a big show this weekend but not finding any options at any of the big auto parts stores. Summit has a Right Stuff pair of...

    First show with the new engine and engine bay finally the right color.

    Went out for a 50 mile test drive to the gym yesterday before driving to the show in the morning. All went well. Finally have this thing ready to do a lot of miles before we get snow again! Uploading the photo distorts the color a bit. It's more obnoxious than it shows. 😂

    72 Challenger, disc brakes, front hub dust cap

    Mine has disappeared at some point since last fall. I had ordered one that was claimed to fit per Dorman's website,the 13976, but it wasn't even close. Anyone know the part number of one that will fit by chance? I'd prefer it not to be stamped "Made in China" like this one was (even though I...

    Booster problem? Pedal doesn't return.

    I really want to take this thing for its first drive and sest the rings. Brake pedal isnt returning past about halfway. Bottom half of the throw it feels fine but the top half it swings free after a partial return. It sits low enough without pressure the brake lights come on. I bled them and...

    Does anyone stock TTI headers or are they all drop ship?

    Ordered a set of TTIs for my new engine almost a month ago from Mancini. Checked on the order a couple days ago because they haven't arrived yet, Mancini just emailed me back saying that TTI is "Out of C4 coating and the expected ship date is 4/17" Is there anywhere that stocks TTI or is it...

    New 512 build planning

    Dang, the cost of this is skyrocketing as I research. I went from "I want to put a cam and heads on my mostly stock 440" to a full stroker rebuild after finding magic sparkles in the oil last month. 😂 I dropped off a good '78 440 block at the machine shop yesterday and spent 45 minutes or so...

    Committed to building a new 440 for my car. How to choose a block?

    I'll be having lots of questions, more than I already have :lol: .This will be the first build from the bottom up I've done. The car currently has a 440 in it with what I assume is a good block as I've been driving it all of last summer, but just found metal flake in the oil. No audible knocks...

    Tire to fender clearance - how close is too close?

    How much tire to fender clearance do you need for the rears? I plan to order new tires in the next day or two and I love the look and stance of my car currently, but the passenger side rear is uncomfortably close to the fender. I can fit my fingers in the gap, barely, but can't move them...

    WTB Mopar sheet metal for shop wall art

    I've got a shop art idea but need some cool old patina sheet metal off an old mopar. I don't want something that can be used for a restoration since my plan will "destroy" it, but I'd love to find a still identifiable piece to work with. Quarter or fender or door skin or hood maybe? High impact...

    Dog dish/poverty caps.

    Has anyone used either of these? They both have reviews saying they're easy to damage while putting on. I'd prefer the redline version but they're out of stock and/or WAY more expensive. They're going on a not-at-all stock Challenger so I'm not overly worried about not being for the correct...

    Mechanical oil pressure gauge reads 40 lb when the engine is off, 70-80 when running.

    How did I manage to screw that up? I'd get it on a digital gauge with a wiring snafu, but when the engine is off it reads 40 psi, when it's fired up it reads 60-80 depending on temp and rpm. I'd like to have it read properly, even though I know I can just subtract 40 from what it actually...

    Cross ram intake - anyone make mock up or resin?

    I've always wanted to make a coffee table out of a set of early 60s long ram intakes, but can't talk myself into paying 1500 bucks on ebay for a set. Does anyone make a resin version, or have an old broken unrepairable set laying around to sell me? 😁

    Fun local show I went to last summer with my Barracuda.

    It's not an E-body, but I had to pick between my Challenger and the 65 Barracuda for this show and since I had just gotten license plates from the DMV I couldn't pass it up. Thrashed on it for a day or two before the show and was able to get it there under its own power. Range was short since...

    How much power loss can happen with air filter restriction?

    My current intake setup on a mild 440 with 915 heads has a drop base air cleaner and a 2" filter to make it fit under the flat hood. I put a spacer between the intake and carb last spring as a band aid because of some heat issues I was having and now am pretty sure I've solved. The engine...
