Heck no. Got to rebuild the 489. Though some one built clutch pack to fit into my open diff. carrier. Called all over so think will just have to sit down and go through the 489. Thanks for asking.

Don't know but you may contact MMC and see if they can help you. I got reproduced fender tag for mine from them.

Thanks for the info Torred Cuda. Good info. Still would like to put the 489 in the car and keep my open diff. on the shelf.

So just to add is the 489 longer than the 741 chunk. I do have a 489 in hand. Had to cut drive shaft once already due to putting the four speeds back in the car. Know that have to get the mix matched universal joint but that is no problem. Thanks Russ.

Classic is where I purchased mine.

Looking good. Keep us up on the build. :thumbsup2:

It is not the original mud that was sprayed on the car. But I used truck bedliner spray on. I am very happy with it. The sand in it is not like sandpaper by using a large bottom feed can gun from harbor freight. With two wands that is one 360 and the other 180. Painted frame rails in engine bay...

My car marks its spot so figure it is a Chrysler thing. New gaskets everywhere. Did find leak coming from the rear valve cover gasket. New cork also a thin layer of gray sealant. Not enough to worry about. Even pulled the manual trans. and put new seals in it. Still leaked. Fallowed the leak...

Thanks to all of you for such a hart warming expression by my roadrunner brothers. Hope you all have a safe day and keep on driving the wheels of those runners. Russ. :thumbsup2:

Do you have the original fan in the car. I put a five-blade fan in mine, and it just did not do what the seven-blade dose. Must have a shroud also. 160 Thermostat is about what you need. If I am not wrong 16 psi pressure cap. Wish you luck. I had to switch out the heads on my 383 to aluminum...

Has anyone done the Auburn gear swap or something like it. If so, which one have you gone with. Looking for a limited slip swap so have better traction. I see EATON-Auburn and others even summit is selling one of their own. Well looking for the best for the buck. Our open diffs are subject to...

When restoring the car had my wiper motor fixed. It still works but have lost the high speed any ideas on what it could be. Switch or what else. Thanks for any input, Russ.

Nice Runner.

My Runner was a four-speed manual car, but someone had put a 727 trans in it. I like the console so went that rout with bucket seats. It was not a number matching car any ways different motor and automatic came in it. I had to buy another 383 motor due to having to open bore up much to my...
