I'm not sure how the shows portray it, but I am more than satisfied! It went in incredibly easily! We were honestly standing around asking where it was going to go wrong because it went in with so few issues! Driving it, I love that I can adjust the shocks over time to make the drive feel the...
So living in the south, it's damn near impossible to drive without AC from May until October. My stock AC bit the dust last summer and I've decided to upgrade to a Vintage Air system this year. Here's the catch--
The car is stock AC with standard gauges. I'm planning to swap out those gauges...
It has a new Milodon pan. The pan on the 318 doesn't fit and the 360 was only a block when i got it. And the K-frame was replaced in 2021 with a full QA1 Suspension system.

No time like the WORST time to decide to swap your engine! My 6 week gig is wrapped and the money is gone.
But after scrounging what little together I could, I was able to piece together a serviceable engine! It's gonna take a bit of time to get it all in and running, but only...
Update Time!
So, the rear end has been put on hold. I got so far as to get the third member sealed into the axel when I realized the bearings someone had recommended were the absolute wrong style for the Wilwood drum/disk conversion kit I was also installing. I bought the correct bearings, and...
Just so we're all clear here...
I'M NOT DRAG RACING THE 'CUDA.
I'm not setting this car up for the strip. It's not going on the strip. I don't have the insurance to cover it on the strip. I'm not setting this car up for the track. It's not going on the track. I don't have the insurance to...
I had drum brakes on the rear of my Lancer. I didn't like how they stopped. I'm running BFGoodrich 275/60 TA Radials on the Cuda as recommended by the performance wheel/tire shop I have worked with for the past 8 years. I was trained to brake by my father who has owned muscle cars since the...
I do appreciate your opinion. I'm open to hear advice, even if it's advice I'm not planning to take. It's important to see all sides of an argument before you make a decision. That being said::
1. I've already done the front brakes and the entire front suspension system. It was the first thing...
UPDATE -- Dec 2021 - Feb 2022
New leaf springs!! I got a pair of +2" Leaf springs from General Spring which fixed the issues with tire strikes I had been having after adding the newer 8" wheels. I had tried rolling the fenders, which mitigated the damage, but lifting the rear end a bit helped...
I'm.... Not from your country? Seriously, anything electrical is greek to me... 😅 But I'm sure I've got someone in my life who can translate that for me... Also:: Your responses to my commenters is hilarious! Keep it up!
Yes. It turned out to be unnecessary, but I was having issues with the prong for the ground plug. As in-- the socket didn't have one and i needed it... I ended up deciding it was too much hassle and just went and bought a new pair of sockets that already had the damn ground plugs.
