Also consider looking for Dodge Ram D150 rims - I am not 100% accurate but they run many parts out of MOPAr bins and there may be a better source in that field tan in cars - Its just thought!

I had some custom pistons made for my 426W 20 odd years ago - reverse dome reflection design - best step I ever took and these days very reasonable in price

In my time rebuilding poly 318's esp the 62 to 65 engines we loved the cranks out of a 273 or early 318 LA. The cranks were the same and were a good source for replacements. So whats a crank worth to some one with a buggared one? Plus as mentioned before the rocker gear on those,if still...

I agree with this. To any body else its just another 440 block that could be rebuilt. That takes a commitment to rebuild yet its not a "special" block. To you its special and I believe you are in a unique situation. If the owner cannot sell it to you he's not going to get a "premium" price. So...

And I'd be happy to be proved wrong BUT the engine mounts for a LA block are located differently onto the K frame in comparison to the Poly 318 If the blocks were the same you could swap the rubber mounts and bolt out / bolt in without any change however thats not the case Schumacher makes a...

The Poly 318 is cast on a 90 degree block (ie the cylinders are spaced 90 degrees apart) while the LA 318 is cast on a 60 degree block. This accounts for a fair percentage of the weight saving along with the thin wall casting techniques and lighter heads used in the LA casting. The 361 big block...

In earlier days I'd given part of my body for the 63 Dodge S/W too

Love your sign off at the bottom - Oh how true but try telling that to some of us

It happens more time than what I will ever admit. I've learnt to internalise the search and not involve others as the number of times it happens would give my wife an excuse to institutionalise ME LOL :-):lol:

That may be the case but when you establish the CFM of those earlier carbs the total flow isn't that great and was an option to increase gas into the engines at a time when the advancements in carburation was still being developed. We have to remember that big cfm carbs came in the 60's (Im...

I used POR 15 on a c body Chrysler S/W - one of the best products I have used out of a can. It saved a rare fuel tank and after 8 years its still as good as the day it went in. I did follow the instructions as I had a similar feeling to you. but It works - I would recommend it to anyone subject...

For every gallon of fuel you burn you create up to a gallon of water through the explosion process. As others have said the engine needs to really warm up to purge all condensation from the system. You can always tell a car that is cold esp in winter cause the vapour coming out of the tailpipe...

The standard Mopar Electronic system was recognised for years as being superior than what the other two big companies offered. I have had chevy and ford guys tell me to throw away my Mopar electronics and upgrade to MSD but the factory stuff was well engineered and outperforms the others. A good...

The only thing long term storage will create in brakes is a tendency for the hygroscopic nature of standard brake fluid to attract and retain moisture/water. This in turn rusts the cast Iron bores of brake cylinders. We tend to take the old brake cylinders and resleeve them in stainless steel...

The axles need to be custom fitted to the diff head. You need to work out the running clearance required and shorten the axles according. This may be .050 or greater. Its not a straight swap to put a post 66 head into the pre 66 housing. Yes it bolts in fine but the difference is caused by the...

Swapping a post 66 diff head into a 62 - 65 diff housing is not straight forward. The axles are longer in t earlier ones and need to be ground down to allow t later diff head to go in and the axles to fit. There is a knack to doing this swap as you cannot use t later axles either Cheers Brett

Still got the car for sale? Regards Brett

DODGE Started on Plymouths but for some reason 33 years ago I bought a '63 Dodge - still have it and have added another Dodge to the stable. Also own a Chrysler and a Desoto but the Dodge is my favourite

cool

I make my own cause down under we don't have the access to some of the places you guys in the states do. I take a similar 7/16" lug nut and drill (27/64") it out to take a 1/2' l/h/ tap and create my own. I do this cause the shank thickness on a 7/16' is the same external diameter as a 1/2' one...
