    Mirada 318cid - Heads and exhaust manifold?

    Here’s what I think in general, New cam - new springs especially when everything is fifty years old. I like using new valves because once they are ground they sit lower in the head and they can alter head flow. As far as porting or head work any machine shop can take a few thousand's off your...

    A BODY TO F BODY FRONT END

    I used Ebody headers for my RB swap in my Plymouth Volare, they are 2” slip fit with a Hooker Headers slip on collector and collector extension. The slip fit headers are great if you need to replace your starter or replace a header gasket.

    WANTED Anyone parting out an F-Body? Need a small part cut from the floor.

    Is that the rear seat fastener? It would help if you had an overall picture of the area you are looking for and a specific area that you want maybe marked with tape or marker.

    Manual Swap?

    There’s one thing to consider when acquiring all the pieces and that is to use a V8 bell crank for a V8 and a /6 bell crank for a /6, don’t try to modify the wrong one. The ratios are different between the two.

    81 DIPLOMAT WEARING 80 ASPEN FRONT END

    Basically it’s just a headlight mounts the grill attached to them also. The bumper filler is below the grill and headlights. I believe the fenders are the same between the two cars but the hood is different and there are fender extensions.

    78,79 The Same Trunk Lid As 1980

    The skin is the same from 76-80 but I’m not sure about the inner structure. On a fiberglass deck lid I wouldn’t worry about the inner especially if you pin it on…

    The site has been taken over

    Well I’m sure I don’t have the only set of eyes that find the crazy amount of ads constantly at the top of the list uninviting , especially when you consider how many people actually respond daily on this site. It wasn’t that long ago that it was much busier. I’m impressed by the determination...

    It doesn’t change the fact that the reposted ads dominate this forum.

    The site has been taken over

    It’s been done but unfortunately the ads have consumed the forum, there are more reposts of ads than posts about talking points.

    The site has been taken over

    This site has been taken over by members constantly reposting their for sale ads. I just found a useful tool and that’s blocking the members that are doing it. No more Mexican cars or rebuild/6 distributors or the parts I don’t need.
