Has anyone attempted to use the stock exhaust manifolds that come with the 6.4L crate engine on an E body? Looks like these are basically shorty headers, 3" output. Probably a longshot but I thought I'd ask. I'm going to fit the engine shortly before finishing body/paint. Thanks...

Chicago does get cold but it's going in a '71 Cuda, won't be outside of the garage from Nov-March... LoL... Thanks for the help...

Going over my crate 6.4L and noticed this opening in the block. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks...

Probably not the answer you want to hear but there's really just one fix... It's why during the build you fit everything before body and paint...

Is there an advantage to 11" vs 10" rear drum brakes besides the size difference? This is for a '71 Cuda build, street car. On my 8 3/4 rear end, I have stock back plates but no drums, how can I tell if they are for 10" or 11" drums? I measured the diameter of the back plates to be 11"...

Thanks guys...

Hello all, A version of OER's rim blow steering wheel comes in a kit, with crush can. Is there a difference in the crush can from a non-rim blow? Thanks...

Have to make sure things fit before moving on...

A carburetor is a MECHANICAL piece of equipment. I was taught in shop class it has 7 circuits, all designed to deliver the proper amount of air & fuel needed to efficiently operate the engine. EFI is a computerized carburetor and does the very same thing, only with less mechanical pieces. The...

I kept my old ignition box in for looks...

Switching from a carburetor to EFI has been a learning experience to say the least. From advice of a tuner, I decided to try a TBI system. Initially, I went with FiTech as back in the early days of the Sniper there were many problems. I also decided to build it right and not use the "sump"...

For all the clips, seals, etc. Detroit Muscle Technologies for sure. Quality products and unmatched service. A+++

The new repops are just small plastic barbs and don't hold well without some glue. UHU Por glue (not easy to find) works really well. It's like a rubber cement, you apply to both sides to be cemented together, put in place, separate & wait about 10 minutes, then put back in place. Will hold...

Closing the loop on getting mine to balance. I have it balanced well now, I can easily spin it myself. As said in my previous post, the key is to get it balanced at the pivot points and to keep them as level as possible (see before/after pic). Simple geometry. But after I did that I was out of...

Thanks. When I got home last not I stepped back and took a look at it. I could clearly see the pivot point was way too high in the front. I lowered the front and it became much easier to turn, it's still not where it needs to be but I also have to put the fenders, doors, hood, & deck on. I...

Chuck, Can you tell me what did it for you to get it balanced? I'm in the same boat with mine now. I have it mounted on the rotisserie, it's definitely bottom-heavy. I have the rear raised as high as I can to center (of the pivot point on the rot.) My front is level with the rear tho. It took...

Perfect! Thanks...

I'm restoring a '71 Cuda, it's still in shell stage. Almost all the metal work is complete, have a few areas to address. My question is regarding the firewall mount for the master cylinder. When I bought the car it was a roller and the upper cowl was already replaced. There are two studs in the...

Not married here, nobody to yell at me but the dog... LoL
