    Estimated 1/4 mile - 71 Roadrunner 340 4 speed

    340 clutch and flywheel parts should go right on a 440 with a steel crank. Beware, not all rv engines had a steel crank. The first 440 we swapped in was out of a '75 RV and had a cast crank. I was 16 or 17. That was a few years back.Lol

    Circuit Protection and the "Shunt wire" by-pass

    I agree. I can't find the articles now, they used to be on the Mopar Action site along with Disc-O-Tech and some others. A quick look around revealed that E-Berg now has a link to his eBay store at the Mopar Action address. I didn't see what I remember reading on AllPar either. I'm pretty...

    Circuit Protection and the "Shunt wire" by-pass

    I see, I’ve gutted a few voltage limiters myself and installed Radio Shack 5v regulator ICs as well in the past. Spent a lot of time at Radio Shacks back then. Prefer the RT Engineering units these days. I’ve read the Ehrenberg articles, more of a complete redesigned approach as I recall...

    I learned to program on punch cards that were fed into an IBM System/360 that took up an entire climate-controlled room. The drives were in cabinets that were probably 3 feet across and 3-4 feet tall. This was in 1979/1980. PCs just became available towards the end of the 9 month vocational...

    Estimated 1/4 mile - 71 Roadrunner 340 4 speed

    I'm thinking right now the combo i want is a 440, probably from a motorhome or something, for around 500$ steel OEM crank, one on marketplace thats 275$ but it needs work probably stock rods but maybe H beams 650$ and pistons which are around 700$, intake for around 400$, and heads which I'm...

    Estimated 1/4 mile - 71 Roadrunner 340 4 speed

    Relating to this topic, rpm is tough on parts. While a scatter shield is a good choice, buying quality clutch components is a must with launching and high rpm. Billet flywheels are expensive, cast steel is asking for trouble. Same goes for clutch and pressure plate, cheap ones are not really...

    Who has NEVER had a cam or lifter go bad?

    I was a big fan of Lunati. Too bad they're gone.

    Circuit Protection and the "Shunt wire" by-pass

    The ammeter was melted and the charging system wasn't working at all. Yes, the bulkhead was bypassed as well. The work was mostly based on stuff written by Rick Ehrenberg in Mopar Action. There was a little article about how to build the 5v voltage regulator out of Radio Shack parts, info...

    How cold does it have to be before it cracks the block?

    Had to look up what the heck DZNUTS were lol The stat on this thing hasn't closed in probably 15 years!! Also, the heater core flows whenever the engine is running. Never did like the mixed stuff.....and what happened to your avatar? I see one but did something change? The last time for this...

    No. When equipped with an automatic, the 8.75 was standard behind a Hemi or 440 unless you ordered the A32/A34 package, then you got the Dana. You could get 3:55 gears with an automatic and 8.75 behind a Hemi or 440. The only way to get a four speed behind a 67-71 Hemi or 440 was in a package...

    PST or other torsion bar experts - question

    Honestly, I didn’t get to drive it when I first bought it as the .096 torsion bars had been swapped side to side and one of the adjusters was bad and I couldn’t get the car up to height as a result and the low side was tire was rubbing. I think the bar was fatigued. Also my car has a bigger...

    Yes a lot of part swapping. I once used a friends 8 3/4 with 2:93's for a summer when I was driving from PHX to Sedona every weekend. I wanted better milage (almost 19 driving on only the center 2bbl. and we wanted to see how fast it would go. One of the guys in that group found a 69...

    Quarter window decals yay or nay ?

    I like the Day Two look and that is how my road runner is going to be. I have Nitro Fish stickers on the 1/4 windows of my Barracuda and a New England Dragway class winner (street night win) sticker in the rear window. The road runner will probably get a few vintage performance parts stickers in...
