    Pitman Arm? Quick ratio or Standard

    I made this mistake on a manual car once and although at speed it was very stable; parking at slow speed was a workout. Stick with stock.

    Thermostat install

    I used an 1/8". I was taught that from an old mopar drag racer who swore by it. He was the guy on my block when I was a "kid" that was constantly changing motors or working on different projects for people of all brands. He also worked on the Navy base fields keeping all the old tractors and...

    Thermostat install

    3 t-stat "tricks" I have found 2 things that always have served me well when it comes to Mopar thermostats. 1. always test the new t-stat to see if it opens with a pair of pliers and a heat source. (yes. I have had a bad one right out of the box) 2. drill a small hole in the flat part to not...

    My rebuilt 440 at Larry's Auto Mach.

    Looks very nice. Is it going to the dyno for testing or into the frame rails? Either way please try to video the startup for us mopar porn addicts.

    A4 roadrunners

    Yup. A4 silver with blue interior. The only other one I ever saw with that combo was a real A12 car at Carlisle in 2013.

    A4 roadrunners

Raced it as a 383 and won the street class in vegas at the Mopars at the strip in 2008 Autocrossed it with a 440+6 BBL and got 2nd place in the Hotchkis event at the Mopars at the strip in 2010. Donated the car to be raffled off...

    Project Dirtbird gets a new home or oil baron scores again

    Once again I was forced to choose between house or car. The car sucked to sleep in and didn't have a kitchen so the car had to go. We all give moparchris a hard time but I have to say this: "Thanks Brother." You saved Thanksgiving and Christmas for my family by buying the #projectdirtbird...

    Project Dirtbird gets a nose and a wing

    Did some horse trading and got a fiberglass Superbird body kit. Maybe not the best. Maybe not made of high quality steel or aluminum. But no matter how much money you have; you can't build a Superbird from a Mustang or a Camaro.

    OBAMA walks into a bank.

    President Barack Obama, surrounded by his normal retinue of Secret Service agents, walks into the Chicago branch office of a regional bank to cash a check. “Good morning, ma’am,” he says to the cashier. “I’d like to cash this check.” “Of course, sir,” she replies. “Do you have your drivers...

    Valve cover problems

    I always buy the felpro ones that are rubber over metal. like this: http://www.jegs.com/i/Fel-Pro/375/VS50145R/10002/-1 I usually put a very thin coating of RTV on both sides. I also use studs on the aluminum valve covers with a coarse and fine thread. That way you can be sure when they are...

    Who would put a Hellcat engine in a real Superbird? This guy.

    http://www.streetlegaltv.com/news/project-hellbird-making-progress-and-making-some-of-the-first-cuts/ I like the concept but I wouldn't cut a real Superbird to do it. But what do i know?

    Project Dirtbird gets some new shoes

    When I finally got the 70 back from my X it had 3 different types of wheels on it all with may-pop tires. I found a guy right around the corner on Craigslist selling these 95 Jeep wrangler wheels with tires for $40. (that's right $40 bucks for 4 rims and good tires!) I figured even if they did't...

    Automatic transmission

    So how long did it take and what did you spend overall for the conversion? Who did the work for you? Did they do a clean job? You did save the 4 speed stuff right?
