Body worth of a 73 charger
Posted by: | CommentsSo I have a parts car and I think I am going to scrap out the body and sell it for recycling metal. Is there anything of value worth cutting out of the car. The roof is pitted, floor and trunk rusted. Is it worth trying to sell any sheet metal off of the clunker? It has nothing attached to it. The quarters are already cut out as well.

Acres of Cars
Posted by: | CommentsLess than a mile from where I work is a series of four, multi-acre parking lots where shiny new cars from many makes arrive on trains and leave on a seemingly endless stream of car carriers. It's right in the middle of the attached image. About six months ago the lots were practically empty for the first time in the five years we've been in the vicinity and a few days ago they were almost full. It seems like this is a good sign that car sales are returning. Or is there another reason?

i’m baffled
Posted by: | Commentsi got a 383 2bbl intake that i pulled out of an old 60s something polara, and i ran the casting numbers on the heads, and the casting numbers are 2406518 which is max wedge heads, is it possible for these to be max wedge heads with a 2bbl intake?? could somebody at one time modified this intake to fit?? could they have been running low on parts one day at the dodge plant?? could it be a wrong casting on the heads?? could it be some sort of experiment?? i'm baffled at this..

swapping 727 guts
Posted by: | Commentsi'm wanting to swap the guts out of my small block racing tranny into a big block casing, are all the casings pretty much the same, and the guts will fit, or does it have to be year specific??

Got a sure grip installed in my 04 Diesel!
Posted by: | CommentsIt cost 1197.15$ for parts and 336$ in labor. I kept the original gears.
Sure made the truck go better in 2wd, though it can be a bit squirrely if you get on it hard with the front wheels turned. It's just nice not having to put it in 4x4 every time the surface gets a bit slippery.
I had my local dealership do the work, they remarked that they thought mine was unusual for not having a sure grip from the factory. Is that so, any of the rest of your 4x4 Ram owners have an open differential from the factory, especially on a diesel?
It was a bit pricey, then again, not so bad compared to some of the prices I've seen in magazines for 8 3/4 pumpkins...
