Hey guys, hope all is well. Been really enjoying my new 505/Tremec/Dana build. Also added an FFI fuel injection system. It's a totally different car. Loving it. Anyway my coolant was low and no apparent leaks. It's been suggested to me to install a surge tank. Any thoughts? If you...

At the risk of opening up a topic that has been beaten to death. . . During my recent chassis dyno session, I was (always have) gotten a bit of run on when trying to shut the engine off when it's hot. The guys told me that other than making some mods to help with vapor lock and/or fuel...

Hey guys, Finally got my Runner into the dyno. Great results. Some build details: 440 stroked to 505 10.5:1 CR Eddy RPM Performer Aluminum Heads CNC ported from Hughes Engines TTI headers and exhaust Quick Fuel 950 Double Pumper Comp Cams Hydraulic Roller XR-286HR-10 Eddy Performer...

Hey guys, hope you're all well. Anybody got any nice chrome trim for the front windshield for my 69? Just got a new OEM windshield and want to top it off with nicer trim. Thanks John

Hey guys, Despite the fact that I only have 1,000 miles on the brand new conversion kit from Right Stuff, the front calipers are sticking. Looking for recommendation to replace all 4 calipers to work with my existing rotors. I'm fine buying calipers and rotors as well, but would prefer...

Hey guys, hope all are well. Been trying to solve an overheating issue on my 69. New 505 CID motor, Tremec 5 speed and Strange S-60 3.54 rear. In traffic she gets way too close to 250 degrees so I just garaged her and now she's back at the shop and we're searching for a solution. I'm...

Hey guys, hope all of you are well. I've had horrible luck with the OEM Gauges being even close to working, so I'm considering doing a custom insert made maybe from Diamond Plate and putting in all new, modern gauges. Mine is a resto-mod so not worried about OEM. Any of you guys have any...

Hey guys, Got the 505 installed and she is running great, but WAY too hot. Yes, I've heard from everyone that a new engine needs to be broken in and it will run "a little hotter" until things loosen up, but this is too much. It's a brand new Champion Aluminum 4 Row 26" radiator, with...

Hey guys, Putting the 440 into my 69 Runner with TTI headers. The Power Master starter we have is a REALLY tight fit. Any body with similar combination can recommend a better fitting starter using the TTI's? Thanks, John

Hey guys, I have the following up for sale. I'm in Weston, FL which is near Ft. Lauderdale. I am willing to ship at your expense. If interested in anything, let me know and I'll get you some details. 1) Complete rear end, axles, pumpkin, freshly rebuilt Sure Grip with new 3.91 gears...

Not sure I'm doing the picture thing right. I went to "attachments" then downloaded some pics?? Let's see what happens. :popcorn:

Hey guys, hope all are well. I'm having a 505 Stroker and Tremec 5 speed put into my 69 RR. I'm also ordering the S60 "dana 60" complete assembly from Strange Engineering with 3.54 gears. The guys that are doing the work for me are highly suggesting to me that I get rid of my Cragar SS...

Hey guys, I have the option (for another $600) to "upgrade" to hydraulic clutch. I'm not really sure what this means, but it's been recommended to me that it's a very nice upgrade. Anybody running this set up? Pros/Cons? Thanks all, Best, John

Hey guys, hope you all are well and your Runners are treating you right. OK, I've posted something similar before, but now it's decision time. Been waiting for many months for the Passon Hemi OD 4 speed and no luck. Gears not in stock, etc. How difficult is it to install the Tremek 5...

Hey guys, I'm replacing my built up 383 and 23 spline 4 speed with a 440 with 505 stroker and one of Passon Performance's Hemi Overdrive 4 speeds. My new engine builder and I have been discussing the potential of going with a Six Barrel set up rather than a single 4 barrel. I've read good...

Anybody ever installed one in a B Body? The 600 Series looks to be a great solution for the new stroker motor and keep my 3.91 gears. Thoughts on quality? Installation? Thanks John

Hey guys, as I've posted before, we're switching out my 383 to a 440 stroker 505 motor. We're going to use as many parts from the 383 as we can, but wanted to see if you thought my cam will suffice for the bigger motor. I'm using Comp Cams...

Hey guys, We're moving forward with the 440 stroker build. The 5 speed overdrive from Passon is still a hear away for my place in line. So, going to go with his Hemi OD 4 speed. 4th gear is a .80:1 so similar to the 5 speed. He says plenty of strength to hold up to a 550 to 600 HP/TQ...

Hey guys, it's been a while. Hope you and all your Runners are doing well. OK, so after continuing to find issues with my 69 after spending ungodly amounts of money on the restoration, I've decided to go from a 383 to 440. I finally found a guy that really knows these cars inside and out and...

Hey guys, really thinking of having a GV overdrive installed on my 69 A833. Last year we were kicking it around, and I know some of you guys have it on your 69 or were installing. How do you like it? Anybody out there got it on a 4 speed? Love to hear your thoughts. Tired of mind blowing...
