Yes, this is what I'm trying to avoid. I don't want to have to deal with an accumulator system, though they can be effective as well. Just want a good pan, but looking out for implementation issues.
I'm looking at putting a Milodon road race pan on the 340 I'm building for my Cuda. It will see road course track usage so I want to make sure the oil is under control in the pan and get a higher capacity pan. Can those that have used this pan comment on whether the stock windage tray fits...
I've already replaced the top and bottom parts of the LH A-pillar and thought I could restore the narrow center section. As I get into it, there may not be enough metal left after rust removal to make rebuilding the center section viable. So I'd like to see if anyone has a section of the A...
Can the Hellcat Brembo brake calipers and rotors be retrofit onto an E-body spindle? I'm not coming up with any examples with a search. I think the front rotors are 380mm and rears are 350 so I'm aware I'll need at least 18" wheels, maybe bigger? I've come across a full set of calipers and...
Is that the original JA5 Silver Frost paint code? What brand paint was used? My 73 Cuda was originally JA5 and I want to put that back on it when I get done with the body. Yours looks like it might be a little lighter gray/silver?
Lightly used dual exhaust tips for a 70-74 Challenger. Not sure of the brand, maybe Year One, but they are very good quality. Thick materiel on the pipe and body of the tips. 2" OD on the pipe which I think is designed to slip into standard muffler. Could be modified if you have a larger...
You must be doing the inboard relocation version? I looked on the site and the instructions there are for the standard version and don't show any of that stuff. Your instructions don't show any views where that bracket needs to go? You need to contact RMS directly and they should be able to...
I won't be much encouragement on that front. While the stock steering box is significantly lacking, the Stage 3 rebuild or the Borgeson unit are supposed to be significantly more precise. My 2000 BMW M5 is the best handling car I've personally driven and it's a big girl at 4000lbs and uses a...
I'm doing essentially the same thing with my 73, with a few different component selections. I like the round tailights and will be using an A833 and stock front/rear suspension designs with better components. I don't think that the aftermarket coil over suspensions perform significantly...
Good luck. There seemed to be dozon or more PNs for the heads and different casting numbers as well. Problem is that the PN is often times not on the head so you have to slueth out the features (valve angle, exhaust port pattern, rocker mounting, etc) to figure out what PN a head actually is...
Normally the cam manufacturer will have a recommended spring spec for each of the lobes they grind. Max intended rpm will go into the equation as well but some lobes are more aggressively ramped than others and need a stouter spring. I would suggest starting with a call to the cam grinder and...
There are only a few parts of the substructure that aren't re-popped and those are hidden so don't have to be recreated exactly if needed. My car will be new from firewall back on the underside and only original panels will be the Dutchman and trunk lid if I can can rebuild the lip on it...
Ambitious project but should be super nice when done.
Looks like you are using a tinted bed liner for a sound deadener on the interior structure? That is something I have considered but haven't looked into how effective it is.
Looking great! Any way to show how you are moving material on the front of that driver's fender? Mine is bent in a similar manner, and I was thinking I would need to remove the headlight framing to access the back of it to pull out the crease. You obviously didn't do that, so I'm curious.
Who was the source for the frame rail/inner fender sub-assemblies?
I'm almost positive there wasn't an engineer involved in the welding decision. Probably the minimum someone thought would hold it together in order to save time and material.
