    running too cold?

    Hello everyone, I had my Challenger out for a drive today on a nice 70 degree day, Like always, the temp gauge reads on the low end of the non-rally gauge. When I got home, I checked it with an Infared thermometer, it read 170 degrees. I checked the rad, thermostat and upper and lower hoses...

    Just installed a Hydra Boost system

    i installed a SSBC front disc kit a few years ago on my 71 power drum Challenger. I was never happy and after having a shop upgraded it to a dual diaphragm booster and a Willwood master, it still would not lock up the brakes in a panic stop. I finally broke down and ordered a system off E-bay...

    340 stroker upgrade

    I am pulling my 70 340 block because it spun a rod bearing. I am thinking about going to a stroker kit. I am looking at two options; 415 cu in 4.070 bore x 4" stroke, or a 371 cu in, 4.070 bore with a 3.58" stroke. Do either of these set ups require relief to the block, and what is the biggest...
