    Looking at this one this week: '77 LeBaron with 16k miles owner sez...

    Sorry to change the subject, but I see that it has buckets. Did a 79 LeBaron have bucket seats? Also, while I agree that the mileage is sketchy, a lot of our cars were bought by older folks who lived a lot longer than they imagined. My great grandpa bought two Cordobas brand new- one for daily...

    hkr5115 1.75" headers in Volare?

    I use the 5115 headers on my LeBaron and had to "massage" the area where it passes by the steering knuckle just a little bit. I ground down the steering knuckle a little and they fit fine and I use solid mounts on the body and engine. +1 on Mirada's post-the biggest pain in the neck are the...

    1979 Chrysler LeBaron production numbers

    Thank you so very much......I probably shouldn't be looking for one then. I've got a 1979 LeBaron Salon Coupe with 30,008 miles on the original 360 4 barrel before it started tacking on miles one 1/4 mile at a time.

    1979 Chrysler LeBaron production numbers

    After searching the interwebs and this site, I can't seem to find any production totals for the 1979 LeBaron. I'm trying to find another one equipped with the 360 and I'm starting to think that it is pretty rare. Can anyone point me in the direction of this info? Thanks, Wayne

    Fastest Times in the history of my LeBaron!!

    Sorry, no video. I was riding solo on this one. The track takes photos so I'll have to wait to see if they took any good ones. It ended up spinning in the second round. The track is not the best prepared and it's pretty hard to hook 9 inches of rubber there. Wayne

    swirl port heads

    Found on 250 Dodge Vans I found both my 308 heads on two 1990 250 Dodge vans, 360, throttle body injection. Also, the numbers were on the bottom, so.....I didn't know until I cut everything away and pulled the first. It's like the lottery!!! If you just want to buy a set, PM me. We might be...

    Fastest Times in the history of my LeBaron!!

    So my LeBaron sat on the dealer lot for a year and a half. At that point, Pat Bennett bought it and drove it home. It had 8 miles on it. Since then it's been a drag car. Tonight, it had the fastest time in it's career- 7.209 at 93 mph with a 1.500 60'!!! I tell you what, Gary Herche, of...

    NHRA Stock Elimnator Guys

    Enigne Builder said DON'T I am just one guy, but my engine builder (Gary Herche) told me (360 4bbl LeBaron) and my cousin (74 Buick Apollo 350 4bbl) not to worry about buying anything new. He said not to do it if your lift is small (mine is small, my cousin's is even smaller). He told us that...

    Small Block Mopar Heads and pistons!!

    Ready to go These heads are ready to be bolted on. It was an 11th hour find of my 308 heads that put these 596s on the shelf. They are legal stocker heads. Not much has been done to them, as the price reflects :). Hope you had a great 4th! Wayne

    Small Block Mopar Heads and pistons!!

    Up for sale are 2 sets of small block Mopar heads. The first set is off my NHRA Stock drag car. They are a set of 596 castings with Comp valve springs and aftermarket steel valves. They make great power for stock style lifts. Over .460 they start to die off a little. They have run a 3700...

    My '79 LeBaron in action

    I'll definitely have some more pictures as soon I can get my wife to go with me on 4th of July weekend. I'll also make sure the red light isn't turned on in them! Good thing this was just practice!

    I also will be posting some of the parts that I upgraded on the for sale page. There is nothing wrong with them; I just spent my deployment money on faster stuff.

    My '79 LeBaron in action

    ATI Treemaster It has an ATI Treemaster converter installed, which is a great converter. I have an extra converter that stalls the same, so I'm having them open it up a little more. I'd like to trap at around 6800-7000 and I'm a little lower than that. Also, the transmission was good when...

    My '79 LeBaron in action

    Class Racing The E.T.s would be waaaaaaaaaaaaaay lower if we didn't have to run a minimum weight and nearly stock everything. I can run a class where it weighs 3580 and it does run a bit faster. This next year it will be getting a real transmission/converter and a rear suspension from...

    I love seeing these big Mopars racing. Mike Jeffrey has an '80 Mirada in Division 5 as well, and he holds the record in his class. Go Mopars!!!

    My '79 LeBaron in action

    I tried to sell this last year on the A body page, where it was called a piece of farm equipment. I decided to build a real engine for it over the winter. It has been an absolute ball to race; not many pull a wheel stand at over 3700 pounds. 1.55 60's......she has been really fun, and she...

    Edelbrock/cast head flow numbers?

    I'm looking at buying the Edelbrock PN 60767 heads for my 360. I have a set of 596 heads that my machinist says are junk (bumps in the exhaust port...low flow). I was wondering if anyone has bought these Edelbrock heads and flowed them. Also, I have been told that the 308 head is much...
