I prepped my car for the winter storage last week. New build, 440, 727 cable shift, around 50 miles on it, Break in driving, No abuse. When I got back home, to garage it, fluid was leaking enough to puddle, about paper plate size, when idling. I parked it before I saw the leakage, and wrapped it...

Early spring inspection on my Challenger, turned up a few needs for repair. One is the right rear axle seal. Looks like the bearing needs to come off, to replace the outer seal, so I'm considering going to the "green" bearings, and eliminate the adjustment set. Anyone been running these, and...

I need to adjust the Pinion angle on my rear axle. It currently sits in a "neutral" angle, so I'm told to go to about 3 degrees down. I've been looking for the shims, not finding many sources on them. Can anyone recommend a vendor for these ? Thanks for any, and all input...

This is NOT a for sale thread. I'm going to be getting into my Hemi build. Because my engine, has sat for quite some time, I'll have to get the block cleaned, surface rust, so dis-assembly will be needed. Is there any market, for a complete 426 Hemi rotating assembly ? These components have...

Lousy day out today, so I'm looking at Intake Manifolds for a Hemi build. I think I will be using a Mopar Street Hemi Dual Quad Inline, part # P5153737. This uses Carter AFB Carbs. I'm wondering if other Make/Model carbs will fit this set up, along with the required Throttle Linkage, and Fuel...

I've seen this Pan Option discussed here before, but can't locate the thread. Does anyone have a Mfg & Part # for a "B" Engine, 383, Valley Pan, the has the heat riser ports blocked off ? Getting ready to do an Intake swap, and would like the ports closed. Thanks for any info...

I'm getting started with the tear down on an engine I bought a few years back. I believe it's a Crate Engine, or Factory replacement, as No Stampings on upper pad or lower side pad. These are the only ID's I see on it. Any and all feedback appreciated, Thanks...

I'm hoping to get started on my next project, as soon as soon as MW Build is rolling. I have what I believe is a Mopar Crate Hemi, stock bore & stroke, never ran, but has been sitting for some time, 10+ years. Came with aluminum heads, that appear to have been run, possibly only on a break-in...

My engine has been broken in & dynode, so it's paint and all the rest to finish it for install. Can anyone recommend a Mini Starter ? My engine is a pump gas, so not high compression, street/strip set up. Would like one that has good reviews from some of you that have used them, Thanks...

My '63 MW project is moving along, where I'm hoping it will be rolling this Summer. I'm wondering what exhaust port gaskets to use, that will hold up the best ? I'm using cast iron heads, along with MW cast iron manifolds. Any and All recommendations appreciated, Thanks...

Happy Thanksgiving to All. With the Black Friday weekend upon us, I see Strange Axle has a Nice Deal for the Holiday shopping, 10% Off, and FREE Shipping ! I need to get my rear axle for my '63 build, so just looking for some advice on some of the options available on a new unit. The car will be...

I picked up a Hemi engine locally, that was built years ago, but never fired. I don't know the history on the build, so decided a complete tear down, and re-assembly would be the best plan, so it wouldn't self destruct upon usage. It appears to be a stock bore & stroke, higher compression...

I'm looking for some input on my '70 Dodge. The engine is a '71 Factory 383 Warranty motor, basically 335hp, 4-spd, with a mild cam, and aftermarket rockers, running stock HP Exhaust Manifolds, nothing radical. A friend gave me an Edelbrock 7186 RPM Intake, along with a Holley 670 Street Avenger...

I am looking for a set of valve covers for my Wedge build, and see AMD is offering many specific sets for particular Mopar engines. Has anyone got a set of these recently, and was wondering about the quality of them ? All input appreciated, Thanks...

I had posted last week regarding my Clutch Assembly failure, and decided to replace all I could between the Crank and gearbox. It seemed to have a good bit of oil contamination from the tranny, so new seals at that end. Looking at the pinion shaft seal that was in place, I'm thinking this seal...

I had a failure in my driveline Friday night going to a Cruise. The pressure plate gave up, as one of the finger cast arms snapped, and that was all she wrote ! Ended up tearing things up a bit, so need to replace it all. After pulling it apart, I see there are stress cracks all around the...

I am looking at a motor that's for sale, and was hoping to find some who have bought, owned, or worked on the Mopar Performance crate Hemi's that were available prior to about 2010. Does anyone know what pistons, rods, crank and cam shaft was used in most of them, as far as specs, and...

I am building a '63 Dodge 330 for Street/Strip/Nostalgia Events, and was wondering if many of you use an additional transmission cooler ? I've never really noticed them while looking around shows or cruise nights. My build will be using a 440 stroked, with Max Wedge intake & exhaust systems, and...

I am starting into the engine build for my '63 Max Wedge project. I am wondering about the head choice ? I am using the original style cast iron exhaust manifolds, so they are heavy, and with the angle they sit at, will tend to pull away from the head. My question is are aluminum heads strong...

I am putting the pieces together on a Dodge 330 Max Wedge build, and have to start thinking of the "Heart" of the matter, the engine. I am looking for suggestions/advice on the engine build, and components. I have acquired the Top End kit from A&A ( standard head intake, not the MW, with the...
