    Free 5.9 with rod knock

    So a few years ago I was given a 5.9 Magnum nearly complete. It was removed from a Durango because it had a "slight" rod knock. Is there a certain rod bearing that goes bad on theses or is it just as likely to be any one of them. I'd like to tear into it but would love to start with "the bad...

    Axle splines 8 3/4 vs 9"

    So I found some axle shafts in my dumpster last month. I thought they looked like ford 9", and that fits with the personality of the guy I think put them there. Just for the hell of it, I stuck the end of one into an 8 3/4 chunk I had on the shelf. It went in about 3/16 and seemed like it...

    Using 77 auto trans with 69 440

    I'd like a concentrated set of recommendations and personal experiences on whether it's OK to simply "knock" the weights off. Thanks.

    leak from front center of trans

    So...my brother told me I should replace the input shaft seal on my 904 while the engine was out, since I had been sand blasting the engine bay. Sounded logical, so I ordered one. What arrived was a small metal band. That can't be right, can it? I see pics online of a more traditional seal with...

    Who's made a bellhousing fit an O/D retainer?

    I have an 833 O/D with the 5.125 retainer and the big bolt circle. I can't turn down the retainer because of the bolt circle. Turning the housing will get into the fork pivot bolts. I found that factory O/D bells have a pivot that mounts different. I think I can get a new pivot and mount it...

    8 3/4 without a pinion gear? can you do it?

    OK, here's the scoop- One of my friends has one of those trailers made from an old truck bed. It's ford bed, but it's riding on what we can best determine is an A-100 chassis. Here's the kicker- This thing's been riding around for at least 15 years with an 8 3/4 axle... ...with 3.55 gears...

    73 318 spool motor mount orientation

    All of my "before" pics are too far away and dirty to tell how the mount goes on the boss. (yes I did a search) This is what I think on the pas side. Am I correct?

    Why is one connecting rod red?

    Found this yesterday. The rod, the cap and the bots and nuts have a red hue. The engine ran great and only has 60K original miles.

    Anyone use big block shorty headers? ESP 71-74

    I see these cheap, even ceramic coated. Anyone use them?

    Anyone use the Summit 1789 SB cam?

    About two years ago I ordered a Summit 6900 cam. Today I opened the box and they sent the wrong thing. I really wanted a slightly smaller but more modern split pattern cam, but might try this anyway. I have a stock 86 9:1 roller motor with 302 heads I'm thinking of putting in my...

    Warranty block tag info

    I discovered a warranty "short engine" tag on my 67. It is stamped "0270", perhaps where it is supposed to indicate the "model", although the stamper missed. Could that be a date of 2/1970? Does this mean the motor is 1970 spec, with 8.8:1 compression instead of 9.2.

    74 N code 400-4

    There's a Charger for sale near me that's VIN indicates it came with an N code 205 HP 400 4 barrel. I'm not familiar with this one, but have seen many P code 250 HP and M code 2 barrel motors. Mymopar.com lists both N and P as having the same compression- 8.2:1 So what is the difference...

    Vacuum gauge on Performer 440

    Hey folks- I just purchased a vacuum gauge to help me tune the 440 in my D150. The only vacuum port on the Performer intake is in use by the PCV valve. Do I have to put a "T" in that, or can I use one of the EGR ports that already have the correct threaded hole? Might be a silly...

    Milodon pan...gasket?

    I picked up a Milodon "car" oil pan for my 440 at Garlits. I thought I was getting a good deal at $40...but I just found out they require Milodon's own gasket. A- is this true? You can't make a "regular" gasket work? B- is it a good thing? I don't recall issues with factory style...

    Getting my new 833 from truck to 72 Charger.....

    Anyone done this? I'm pretty sure I'll need a new Z bar, and the frame pivot mount Pedals are a given. Brewers has a cost effective conversion kit. Am I gonna have an issue with the bell housing? Clutch fork? I think the shifter is the correct style for B body.... Apparently both mount...

    What axle is this? in a 77 Cordoba

    Doesn't look like any from the popular ID chart.

    Mopar perf stamped rockers better than factory?

    I've heard that the factory rockers can be as bad as 1.4 ratio due to tolerance issues. Since I'm planning a cam swap, I was wondering if it would be worth the $130 to get the MP rockers- MP4529742 if they're machined closer to 1.5. Is Cloyes still a decent double roller chain? Jegs...

    Changing from 2.76 to 2.94 gear help city MPG?

    My Satellite has a 7 1/4 2.76 rear. I have a super clean 2.94 742 SG setup from a trailer package car. I was planning to swap a 3.73 R&P into it and use it in my 66, but... I also have an E body 8 3/4 housing, and now I'm thinking about putting those two together and putting it in my...

    engine paint

    Not having any luck with the search... I know I've seen posts... Now that I have a 4 barrel intake and carb to go with my cheap summit cam, moving rapidly up the priority list is installing those, as well as replacing the water pump and valve cover gaskets, and painting the whole front and...

    318 runs fine then starts pinging, then floods w/gas and stalls-?

    So... my 318 2 barrel has been running just fine since I got it. I have it idling at 650 in drive, and it's pretty smooth- can balance a lighter on the air cleaner lid. last weekend I changed the plugs. They (Autolite P66 @ 30) looked fine- light brown, dry, etc. I put in Autolite 66 gapped...
