I couldn't agree more! I will always favor old American iron over new imported plastic. And don't forget - if it weren't for the old guys, we new guys wouldn't have a clue what to do! :cheers:

First, a long past due welcome to the board from me. I haven't been keeping up with posts around here lately and just saw your thread on your '65 383. Even though yours seems to have been a frankenstein motor as you said, it's cool that yours is running. Mine's in a bit worse shape. Also, it...

Hey Collin, just a quick question, maybe someone has already asked this. I saw you have an 054 radiator, an A12 option as some of the other guys said. I also see that you don't have the wiper motor that came with the '69 383 cars. Was yours in fact an A12 440 car originally?

Agreed.

"3. Free men do not ask permission to bear arms." This is why I don't believe in permits. It's not a right if you have to get a permit. The Constitution does not say "The right to bear arms shall not be infringed unless the person has no permit."

:eek:

I had been wondering if folks were dropping 5.7L and 6.1L Hemi's into old model Mopars. Not that I would do it, but I wonder what kind of modifications that would require.

Thanks fellahs :cheers:

Always cool to find out what kinds of stuff people have stashed away. I've got a Savage Arms .308, an AMD-65, and a Ruger 10-22 (who doesn't?). I've been in the market for an AR-15 but haven't been able to get one at a decent price. At least in Memphis, they are crazy expensive because of the...

Just curious what kind of firepower you fellahs have out there. If you've got something you don't want the Bureau of Asshole Totalitarian Fascists to know about, don't put it up here but whatever else you've got, I'm curious! I'm looking to get a good AR to add to my collection. A buddy of...

Sheesh mines still in pieces all over the garage :brickwall:

Yea it's my favorite too. Even my wife wears it once in a while. I was at Cracker Barrel the other day and a young woman working there asked me if I like muscle cars because of the Hot Rod logo on my shirt and I said yes. She asked me what I had and I just pointed at the back of my shirt...

I've been wanting to post these for a while but never got around to it. My mom bought me the blue "Hot Rod" magazine t-shirt back in the 90s about 15 years ago. Still fits me well. As luck had it, the RR on it is B5 blue. The second shirt is one my dad had hidden in a box in his closet. My...

Thanks Matt. I'm looking for something in the 425hp area. My dad and his best friend used to race it back in the 70s at Shelby County Int'l Raceway. They were running big open headers, an 850 Holley double pumper, and a 4.11 rear. I won't have it at the strip nearly what they did, but I...

Another yankee in our midst! Either Ma Mopar sold 90% of her iron up in yankee territory or Big John's running a massive advertising scheme to get us fellahs down South outnumbered. Just wait till winter when we get to our snowball fights. :jester: I think we've barely got 1 representative...

Thanks fellahs. I'll prolly stick with my 8.75 for the RR. It already has the gear ratio I want and the truck's rear would have needed lots of work to make it ok for the car. I appreciate the info on it!

I've got a bench seat in my RR right now. Only problem is that I really can't (neck issues) and don't want to be driving the car with no head rest. Not to mention when I get friends and family in the car and show off its power, everyone's gonna have a bad case of neck snapping whiplash without...

This is the rear end on my 79 Dodge truck. From pictures I've seen, this looks like the real deal. Is it a 9.75"? Definitely looks like it's leaked oil, but I never had any problems with it all the years I drove it. Worth salvaging? [attachment=2:19a0j4eh]dana.jpg[/attachment:19a0j4eh]...

This question is entirely educational on my part. I would like to know which is a better transmission to have in a Road Runner: the 4 speed manual or the 3 speed automatic. Since the two operate differently, the manual having a human input, and the automatic having a torque converter which...

Thanks, John. I appreciate your advice.
