I know one would save a few bucks buying a complete kit, but I still prefer to buy parts separately because I like the Moog offset upper control arm bushings and larger C-Body 11/16" tie rod ends and sleeves. There's absolutely no reason our E-Bodies can't be made to handle as well as new vehicles!
Check out the description of motor mount fitment on 440 Source's link below. This might be the situation you're seeing. I've had similar issues in the past with lousy motor mounts (which the majority of the stock type rubber are now!)...
Unfortunately due to the rarity of Mopars from the late 60's and 70's, big money is being exchanged for Mopar pristine restorations and now resto-mods. I've posted before, Chevy made more Malibu's in 1969 than the entire 70-74 Challenger and Barracuda production! So naturally there's fewer and...
Easy fix actually! Glad my son is getting all his welding certificates! The tear looks worse (structurally) than it is. Definitely insulate the fuel lines and have a spotter for the welding operation. Can't see flames through the welding helmet!! Once repaired and new under coating applied, no...
Regardless, the carpet you're going to get is ACC. They pretty much supply all the vendors. Rockauto is pretty much the cheapest.

Not sure. The Street Dominator I have is for the 440/413 raised block. I'm in Kentucky and can't check my TM6 on a 383, sadly. However, that particular gap is A okay as the sealing are is deeper inside
Welcome to FEBO from the desert! I'm actually in Lexington Kentucky for this weekend! Great state for horses and bourbon!
When you get an opportunity, you can post in the Wanted To Buy (WTB) section of items you need. That is if the awesome folks here don't get you covered with the parts...
Regarding the Cuda, I'm in Kentucky right now, but what you need are the hole locations for the emblems that fasten on with nuts. Someone will most likely beet me to post those locations! I love the Cuda hood emblems (CUDA340, CUDA383, CUDA440, CUDA440-6 and HEMI CUDA)! They just look good on...
You can tune and time a Mopar with only an RPM gauge and vacuum gauge. The 383 is a very forgiving engine in that it will take a licking and keep on ticking! There's a reason Chrysler built over 3 million 383 Big Blocks!
Nice project! Engine definitely needed rebuilding. Bore the cylinders the smallest size possible to clean everything up. A lot of times .020" over will do it, but most people got to .030". Also ask for the crankshaft to be "indexed ground" if it needs more than polishing. I suspect something...
I'll go out on a limb (done that lots of times) and almost guarantee there will be zero issues with Inline Tube transmission coolant lines and TTI headers! 😁
