    Rear Shackle Geometry - how are you adjusting it?

    If you want your cake and eat it too then you need to start with double adjustable shocks on all four corners.

    Worth it to fix?

    My only concern would be price. If a machine shop says all it needs is a sleeve, then I wouldn't worry about it.

    Worth it to fix?

    Yikes. Any particular reason to run a 340? Class racing? Going to be a lot cheaper to grab a 360 LA or Magnum that doesn't have a hole in the bore vs fixing that 340. Should be able to get a block for $200.

    Hello from Arizona!

    You're going to end up having to strip the car, run it with an extremely low gear ratio, lots of cam, etc, etc. It will not be street friendly. Autocross is an entirely different can of worms from drag. You can build a dual purpose car for sure, but it's going to be a jack-of-all-trades car...

    Instrument panel

    I've got a complete set of 11x2.5" rear drums. Backing plates, drums, cylinders and hardware. Practically new. Pulled it off for a disc brake swap. It's yours if you want it, but shipping would probably be killer.

    Instrument panel

    All F/M/J cars used the same rear axle dimensions: flange to flange is 54.34" and perch center to center 44.46". It should drop right in if it's from an M wagon.

    84 Gran Fury AHB The time has come for Resto

    That thing is crying for a 4" crank and custom ground roller cam. Keep the outside of it stock appearing.

    Radio Upgrade vs Addon - Bluetooth

    $50 Pioneer deck with Blue Tooth and get the pigtail adapter. No CD. This is what I did with mine. Modern electronics sound a lot nicer too.

    K Frame Polyurethane Isolators from ESPO

    0.5mm gap between the isolator and the hole in the K? Whatever you do, don't start laser measuring the chassis for squareness. If this has you worried then the tolerances of the rest of the car will give you cold sweats at night. I'm with Coupe on this. Just crank it down and even poly will...

    Headers, again.

    Whose heads are those? I have Eddies on my 512 and simple 12pt header bolts with split washers never back out. I've left more than a few ARP stainless bolts one road before. What did you do for headers? I never found a set that fit and ended up having them made for my car.

    Remote oil filter installs - who's got what???

    Dad's is fine after years of operation. I still have to plumb mine. Both kits are Derale. I wouldn't be surprised if cracking issues are caused by people over tightening the fittings in the housing. Come out to the barn for a few hours and we can fab a bracket to put the filter wherever you...

    Remote oil filter installs - who's got what???

    It's well past the length of travel in the bumper shocks and doesn't sit any lower than the bumper itself. If something pushes that heavy of a bumper back that far the car is fucked either way.

    Remote oil filter installs - who's got what???

    Below is what I did for mine. Mounted it to alloy plate and used the bumper shock bolts to hold it in place. It's on the driver side, but you might be able to do something similar to the passenger. This puts the bottom of the filter even with the bottom of the bumper.

    Remote oil filter installs - who's got what???

    This is Dad's setup. Just a standard relocation kit with a custom bracket to mount it to right above where the vapor canister used to be. Dad even made me a bracket like that, but I never used it because I changed plans and went big block. I've still got the bracket if you want it.

    318 Aspen with magnum heads.

    The V6/V8 starters on all Dodge trucks and vans will work. I don't know if the Jeep starters will swap as BrotherGood stated they're on the passenger side. It's possible the starters are in fact the same and just mount upside down.

    would a 4bbl car post 1984 have a A904 or an A999?

    And that is with them installing it.

    would a 4bbl car post 1984 have a A904 or an A999?

    That's a price for a modern eight speed. Total batshit nuts. These things are simple compared to modern stuff. Find another shop.

    1976 Dodge Aspen - Front disc brakes rebuild help

    Rock Auto for everything. I stopped buying parts from local chain stores altogether. The price jump from is just way too much. Something this old will probably have to be ordered by the store anyhow. I second Mike on the rubber brake hoses. You might be in for a real treat separating them...

    I got stupid lucky with that score. The carpet in the photo came from the same donor car the passenger seat came from. The interior was immaculate. It was from an '88 and I used almost everything from it to replace the shag interior my '87 had. My carpet was roached and I hate shag.

    To get the 60/40 seats out they have to go all the way forward on the tracks and remove four nuts from under the floor pan. Getting the seats themselves out is a bit of a game of Jinga. If you want buckets it is possible to graft a passenger 40 seat onto the driver's tracks. I did this many...
