Re: Generation 3 Hemi Swap

Mopar Performance was selling a newer style 5.7 / 6.1 liter Hemi with a carbureted intake. Than maybe no need for much wiring. But would still need some, ie, crank trigger to set off the spark,etc.

Re: It was fate

Glad to hear you escaped damage. I'd have had a hard time not saying something to the mustang idiot.
Anymore when i see a driver going down the road looking into their cell phone, i lay on the horn.
At least it makes them look up for a second .......... :wink:

Re: Winter upgrades/ Pwr to Man Steering saga

Got it completed :D Had to cut about 2" off the stock steering column , and about 7" off the conversion shaft. Learned a thing or two about the steering column and the best way to put it in. [ seperated from the 3 bolt bracket with the 'plastic crash crush shoes' ] Luckily the electric connectors pu...

Re: Roadrunner with Thermoquad

Just to put a plug in here since you mentioned Thermoquad - i had a factory thermoquad rebuilt + slightly upgraded by a guy in Georgia whose business goes by the name of "Demon Sizzler". This was on a 74 Cuda 360 4 speed. Was very happy with that thermoquad !!

Re: Winter upgrades/ Pwr to Man Steering saga

Well, I should update. I got the manual steering box bolted in, and put the steering column back in with the "conversion shaft" pinned [5/16" roll pin] onto it - too see how much has to be cut off the "conversion shaft " [ 3/4 " round to Double D ]. The conversion shaft comes with a ,Double D to 36 ...

At least you are out there driving it !!! Last valance i had damaged was when i let a friend drive my former 70 Charg...

Thanks gcoupe72 ! Well, did not get the conversion done yet. Busy week, and getting another car ready for drags on friday.

Winter upgrades/ Pwr to Man Steering saga--Done !

I'll never use the A/C probably, and it needed charged anyhow, so i removed all the engine compartment pieces [ yes i kept them ] to clean up the engine compartment. Well, Big block, A/C ,+ Power steering equipped cars use an idler pulley for the wa...

Re: How Long Should You Keep a Car?

Hmmmn, tricky subject. I've owned a fair amount of Mopars, mostly from the 70's / late 60's. Some i bought because they were rare, and i wanted "something different" [ 300 Hurst / Apsen Super Coupe ]. Nearly every car, when i sold it, had been improved in at least some small mechanical way from when...
