Thanks for all the info folks. No Hemi for me, just too expensive to swap. This is a very basic budget build with 90% of what I have laying around. This is a 90 3.9 Dak and yes I'll be disabling the EFI pump and using a commercial Stewart Warner electric so no issues there. No cam swap at first...
Hello all, its been a while for me. I am finally going to drop a Mag 5.2 in a lil Dak to go play at the drag strip. I know this is an E body forum but I figured out of all of the forums I am a member of, the best chance of finding a member who has performed this would be here.
I want to stay...
Oh an as mentioned above, a lot of PCM wiring and interface including O2 sensor. Again, as gzig5 said, a pre built kist like Holley, Fast, Edelbrock etc will save you dozens and dozens of man hours. Btw, it should take a weekend to pull your 340 and do an oil pump and main bearings. Then add the...
You'll need a lot. 45psi multi port injection pump (recommended in tank, new tank), fuel lines to handle it. Cutout in bell housing for the flywheel sensor, Mag is serpentine belt not V. Mag heads have an extra boss for acc to mount and much more.. it has been done many times its just not near...
I'll be 51 this year! Bought this with an insurance check when an intoxicated driver pulled out in front of me and we went head on at 60mph. My girl and I (wife now) were in my hopped up 84 Colt turbo. The Chally's been in storage almost 20 years now. Have to sell a few vehicles to make room but...
I just landed at 71 383hp that was fully, professionally rebuilt with mild HP parts quite a few years ago. The previous owner says he drove it about 100 miles and decided to go hemi. I know that sounds crazy but this is a very wealthy gentleman and if anyone is truly interested in this engine I...
I also doubt very seriously the factory would have done that but every once in a while youll hear about a car being modified by an outside source like Norms, Yenko, etc and it adds value. Im not looking for a pot of gold just would hate to fill something in that may have some history.
Im very familiar with a 70 440-6 Chally, my uncle had one and the emblem insnt even close. The engine emblems have the cast pieces that go through the hole in the hood. This is a plastic rivet that looks like it had something adhered to it? Im going ahead with Govier, I think hes gonna be the...
Going try and bring the ole Chally home this spring and start a revival. Bringing this back to the top to see if anyone has an idea? Im going to try and get some more pics of the part in question...
Should the verter have weights or not? Had the trans rebuilt with new verter and now theres a vibration about 1200-2500 rpms. This verter has weights and I cant recall if the old one did or not. Thanks for any help.
Like I said, I talked to the second and they were on there when he bought it and he said the car was bone stock. I tried to track down the first owner but there was a mess up with the title and DMV didnt have his info. Do you know of any other way to find the first owner?
Yeah, they probably are an after the fact add on but it would be an injustice if I was to remove them only to find out they were part of some super rare factory option or installed by a reputable dealer that had options that are now considered valuable like Norms or somebody. I havent looked at...
Im not a body or paint guy so Im not sure if theres primer but Im pretty sure the overspray your seeing is when I was like 18 (43 now, yes Ive owned it that long) I took a can of rattle can red to the engine compartment to dress it up. I vaguely remember not having and not being able to afford...
Im the 3rd owner. Ive talked to the second owner and he didnt know what it was but it was there when he bought it with 39k. Im going to have to find this out or die trying.
Best I can tell my hood looks like the red on with crumple zones? Like i said, its very strange that it seems to have factory paint in the hole before the rivet was pushed through. Guess I'll find some more avenues to search around.
Thanks for posting those pics. From what I can see my hood looks exactly like the red one. Its almost like this rivet had one small emblem bonded to it, lkke maybe a pentastar, anyone ever seen a pentastar on an E body hood?
I would like to keep this on top until someone can help me or point me to a source that can. I wrote Galyen Goviea? a few years back and he said he knew nothing and that I had to pay a fee before he could do any research. Help!
