Hello, I came across this good article on Valve springs for mopars, I noticed its been taking down now and all the info gone, I have a copy of it here in PDF if anyone is interested. Below is what I found most interesting about the magnum engines RECOMMENDATIONS Keeping all these items in...

found this

Hello, If you change the valve over do you need a different spring as well? The Lares valves come in 800, 1150 psi but unsure if the the spring is matched to the vlave. Thanks Bruce

Original pump was sold on old motor :(

Back of pump

Hi everyone, My power steering gear has started weaping, when I put the 360 magnum into my Cordoba I used the pump that it came with, I believe in the later years in bigger trucks they ran a higher pressure. I can't find exact details but possibly upto 2000 psi, seems my steering box designed...

KYB list the upper mount as 12.8mm x 41.3mm, the MA709 is L1 5/8" id and 1 5/16" or 15.875mm x 33.3375mm MA709 L1 mount Monroe gas shock LS39 mount

Yes I agree, it looks a good fit the gas shocks spec's for the rear of a J body are length 18.625", Comp 11.375" and travel 7.250" and the MA709 is Length 17.375", Comp 10.75" and travel 6.625" it looks somewhere in the ball park, is the eye at the top compatible with the Chrysler one?

I found these that look similar but they would be upside down when fitted to my J body, can air shocks work upside down? Monroe MA700 Shock/Strut Max Air Twin-Tube Rear Pair | eBay

What my plan was not to hold weight with them, I want to put one on the right side, see video

Hi Everyone, I am after some air shocks for my 1983 Cordoba, anyone got anything lying around or know where some may be who would like to help a fellow moparian in NZ :) Thanks Bruce

So it seems there really is nothing in the specs, the only true answered are the combos on the dyno or seat of the pants at the track for proven parts that work together?

Hi Guys, I have been laying low for a while, I have been thinking and thought would start a debate over RPM range, when you buy an intake it is rated from idle to 5500 eg performer, then the performer rpm 1500 to 6500 and cams are rated something similar. Lets start with intakes - What's this...

BTW - The gen 3 hemi is coming up 20 years old now!!! Can you believe it! When did it hit the market 2002 for the 2003 models, so that makes it 2022 which ain't far away! Happy Birthday 20th to Gen 3 Hemi :)

Hemi V8 - I have seen various ideas why from MDS turning oil off to lifters to the center oil feed under the camshaft stopping the splash feed to the cam at low RPMs (Hence my comment good for a jet boat motor at 5000rpm) As for dropping valve seats thats got to be a Chrysler cock up there as...
