F body "matchbox" style.

They did a episode of the Engine Masters TV show about this question. It was episode 60. They had a 430 hp small block and compared dual 2.5 in vs 3 inch single. The takeaways were, at that power level, muffler design and pipe merge design on the single exhaust made a bigger difference than...

Summit BCI-62016 Not listed for FMJ but it does work with custom installation.

I will check the records...

I am running a BeCool brand. It is a universal fit but it seems to work.

I also asked the sales person at steele if they had the door seal material they use on the two door parts in bulk, unfortunately they said they did not.

I just used steele rubber products 70-3256-72 on the rear hatch of my wagon. It fits well and seems to seal well. I have not tested it yet for water intrusion however.

I have unfortunately misplaced the invoice, but I do not believe that they charged a premium for other colors. There was a rather long lead time, months, to get the proper color material.

Transmission crossmember was made of rectangular tubing and connected to the factory bolt holes. Floorpan stiffer was replaced with curved flat bar. A non mopar trans mount was used. See pics.

My project is similar to what the original poster is considering. I chose a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500, 2wd, 5.9 Magnum. My reasoning for this choice was that the Magnum engine was a very close bolt in. The magnum engines have the same style mounting bosses as the LA engines although the LA style...

I had my dash pad recovered by ABC Moparts. I am very pleased with the results. They were able to match the original tan interior color. The original pad was sent and they used it as a color sample. See attached picture. I hope the forum finds this helpful.

Check out Steele Rubber products pn 70-3585-99 It looks just like the picture. I have not used it yet, but I found it while I was looking for the same parts for my project. I have also used self aheadsive foam tape from Ace hardware as a seal to keep out wind noise. I did not test it for water...

I ordered new custom leaf springs from Firm Feel for my Aspen in January. They included bushings. Firm feel also sell other suspension goodies too. They were 675 USD. It was about the same as having the springs re-arched including labor and shipping.

I suggest looking at hamtramck-historical.com. They have scans of original dealer sales brochures and other literature like engineering feature brochures. The documents cover muscle cars as well as FMJ cars and trucks through the late 70s. I looked at that information, and it looks like the...

I have one from covercraft. It was not cheap, but stood up to a few years of outdoor use. The cover is still useable, but the car is stored indoors now.
