    ATK vs Blueprint small block crate engines?

    Gents, I am at a cross-roads with my 73 340 auto challenger. Car has the original drivetrain with 93K miles and runs/drives fine. Engine does not appear to have ever been pulled or worked extensively (original heads, 50-year old internals, etc..). It has some minor blow-by that results in...

    Hemi Conversion.."to be or not to be"

    Gents, I have been tapping into your advice and recommendations for the past ~3 years since I bought my "95%" original 73 rally 340 auto challenger. Since it had been mostly sitting for the 14 years before I bought it, I have spent a lot of time/effort with expected stuff like brakes...

    I bought(~18 months ago) a factory replacement set from General Spring out of Kansas City and put them on my 73 rally car. They came with new rubber bushings already installed in the front ends and went on easy-peasy. Also bought replacement rear shackles w bushings and all new associated...

    8-3/4 Differential complete center section change

    THX. I'll follow-up to confirm exactly teh brand and weight of what was used in my differential. Also, after about 100-150 miles of local driving, my rear differential is practically silent...Or at least as quiet as the OEM 3:91 gears that I removed. Hooray!

    Irregular "stumble/miss" at fast idle & low engine load

    Gents, I have previously posted about "issues" with my 73 340 Rally challenger that I bought a little over 2 years ago in "fair" shape with orig. eng/trans and 92K miles. Car had been mostly sitting for the previous 12-13 years with semi-regular starting and drives around the block. As...

    Transmission Wear and Odors

    Gents, as usual, I appreciate all the feedback/advice. 1) Trans. health: the only reason I had the local shop (working on other stuff) to pull the rans pan was because it was slightly leaking. We Did change the filter, but since the shop was not a transmission place, nothing else was...

    Transmission Wear and Odors

    Gents, Here are a few pics from recent work to inspect/change the filter and fluid in the 727 trans of my '73 340 auto Rally Challenger. The filter was about 1/2 covered with very small bits of metal similar to what is visible in the bottom of the pan. Car has 92K original miles w what I...

    8-3/4 Differential complete center section change

    All, Just to close out this string....Thx for all the advice/feedback. My local mechanic, pulled the gear set and re-verified contact pattern (twice) for no charge. He did recommend replacement of the new pinion bearing we just installed because he said is felt like it was binding some (?)...

    8-3/4 Differential complete center section change

    All, THX...for the feedback. Chryco, I have heard that from the local "expert" on this subject. He has agreed to give me a "second look" at the set-up once the first tech/shop pulls it back out of my car. He warned that even if we pull it, find the problem(s), and make the correct...

    8-3/4 Differential complete center section change

    All, SO, I ended up getting referred to a local shop that has a history of doing solid ring & pinion, differential and transmission work. I discussed my plans to swap to a 3:23 gear set with the lead tech and he seemed very familiar with the work and with mopar rear diffs. (My car car...

    All, THX for the feedback. During my review of related posts in the archives, I have noticed that Dr. Diff. seemed like the clear winner, but I wanted to get an updated perspective. -TeeScott

    18' x 8' Wheel fitment and advice

    Austa, thx for the feedback. My braking system is ~100% stock. Single piston calipers on factory size discs up front and rear drum brakes. Though I do believe that these 8" wide wheels (w 4.5" backspace) will work fine on the rear, I can't find many references to folks using such 8" wide...
