Thanks Vaanth, Great research. Did the intake seats eventually get the upgrade as well? -

This is the worst area. The rest look much better. - -

What year did they start coming from the factory with hardened valve seats? And was this for both intake and exhaust?

Thanks. It's getter harder to find good 2.02 J heads. I'll make the request for spring removal before making that long drive. I'd hate to do it for nothing.

Thanks for the input folks. I have to drive about 3 hours on friday to meet with the seller. Not sure if I'll be able to open the valves to see if the chambers have any degradation. Also, unfortunately, the rockers are not included in the sale, but what kind of offer would be fair for those kind...

Hello. Calling in engine folks to help identify if these heads have 1.88 or 2.02 intake valves? Also, do these heads appear too far gone with the rust on them?

Cool. Thanks for the information.

Do you have any tire to frame rub with the fast ratio setup, or does the new steer box prevent that problem? Also, are you happy with the stage 3 steering, does it seem stiff?

Ok, so after reading that, would it be a more simple plan to just go with a fast ratio steer box with internal stops?

Great write up Vaanth! Other than Firm Feel, I have not been successful finding a large sector unit (and matching idler arm) for my 73 Challenger. Bergman auto is currently working to see if they can find the right parts.

Hello. I'm searching for a fast ratio pitman arm/idler for my '73 Challenger but finding compatiblity conflicts during my search. I seeing listings for the arm up to the year of 1972. Did something change with the arms starting in 1973? Here's a photo of my setup.

Looking for 1 Acorn center cap in excellent condition with no chrome-loss issues, a nice pointy center section. Non-center pop out / Big bolt pattern. thanks!

Set of two. $35.00 plus shipping to your address/zip code. Acorn center caps / Big Bolt Pattern 4 1/2". Chrysler #3699312. Will require oversize screws for mounting. See photos for condition.

Great information. Would these covers be backward compatible as long as you used the matching damper? Let's say, the 78-91 cover placed on a 1969 block?

A callout to mopar 340 folks. I'm looking to start from a scratch build for a 1969 casting. Would anyone have information on how the timing cover markings changed from the passenger-side, and then later to the driver side of the engine on the final production of the 340's? What year did this...
