    1965 Sport Fury Engine Replacement

    Gotcha... Well I'd strongly suggest using technology to your advantage. The new honing machine & gas ported rings are worth 30-40 Free HP alone. Not to mention the list of other benefits. Such as double to triple oil life due to no fuel contamination & crazy efficiency... And if your trying to...

    15” Tires for my ‘62 300 - Thoughts?

    In a couple smaller 15"s only. And to the matter of still being made in the US I highly doubt it

    15” Tires for my ‘62 300 - Thoughts?

    Definitely start with a FEW junk tires as it's very very very easy to ruin a tire. Biggest issue your gonna have trying to keep the depth uniform as the tires aren't square. Then you talk about these junk cheapy tires. The sidewalls are wavey as ****! The machine has tension adjustment on a...

    Tire size question for my '66

    Have a 15" wheel made with Correct offset & a 275/60 can Easily Be tucked. Wheel Vintiques makes some IN America for very cheap. Car will drive way better with 15"s anyways. 95% of 14" tires are straight garbage & have been for well over a decade. Every major line dropped off 14"s

    15” Tires for my ‘62 300 - Thoughts?

    So 90% of tires already have a white in the sidewall. Even if it's NOT a raised white letter. In the pic is a 64 K that makes over 600hp. I had Wheel Vintiques special make all the wheels. The rears are a 15 x 10.5" wide with a 275/60/15 Cooper Cobra Radial GT with a period correct white wall...

    15” Tires for my ‘62 300 - Thoughts?

    Is it a real driver or a garage piece? As you can Easily put any sized white wall on any tire... IF it's a driver than buy a Quality tire then have a white wall cut/buffed into it. I do it all the time with BIG sticky Mickey Thompsons. Trying to fond even a decent meaty white wall in 2023.... Nope

    1965 Sport Fury Engine Replacement

DON'T waste the $$$$ & time on the "426 wedge" Buy a 400 block & build a stroker. What the old folks Don't get...

    Engine Color

    I too USED to swear by VHT before the buy out... Their product quality has sunk the way FRAM'S did after Allied Signal bought them. So for the last 5-6 year's we've been using Motor Coater's brush on product. FAR SUPERIOR!! And yes Early (turquoise) is a Must in a 65 for me. I too have a Sport...

    Question on mechanical fuel pumps

    If your buying any reman over the counter pump.... NO No need for a regulator. Majority of Holley needle/seats operate fine up to psi. It's the poorly designed Carter/Weber needle/seat that has issue's with anything over 5.5psi as well as large pot holes You haven't mentioned what the problem...

    What octane fuel?

    91 or 93 is fine. The to engine life & exhaust valve seats is lubricant. Since the lead is missing you want to Add TCW-3 2-stroke oil to the dry fuel of today. The best place to start is 4gal of gas to 1 Oz of oil... It's a well known secret that was figured out about 15-16 year's ago. It even...

    Thinking about a stroker

    Nope that rotating mass is ineffective (unless we're 7000rpm+). By using the 400 block it has a 4.34" bore size increased over the 383's 4.25" Large bore with a long rod & shorter stroke = High Rod Ratio which = RPM loving combo. Camshaft will be most crucial to determine powerband window... It...

    Thinking about a stroker

    The 512 will be AWESOME with the 400 block. Many don't even require minor clearance. I have 3 on the street. 1 has been together for 8 year's. Spend the extra $300 & do a hydraulic roller. I Highly recommend Schneider Racing or Cam Motion... No oiling issues ever either. I'd call A & A...

    Leaf Springs or Air Shocks for sagging 197070 Chrysler 300

    St Louis Spring has made many C body leafs for me. You want to avoid air shocks at All costs as it's 2023 & that's 1972 technology. The silver KYB shocks alone will make your car drive completely different (much better). The KYB for Any MOPAR is the Best bang for the buck improvement PERIOD...
