I have a 73 Newport I’ve been redoing the motor on. I decided recently to pull the trans since I thought it might be easier to get the motor in that way. Long story short, I tried to remove my driveshaft by removing the u clips, and I then realized it was welded to the piece connecting to the...

so I’m working on a 400 engine out of my car, and I’m doing a full rebuild. Taking apart the engine wasn’t bad, but I struggled to get the old camshaft out a bit. I actually had to slightly beat it out of the motor with a dead blow hammer. Anyways, about a month or a month and half ago I took...

Just wana help out the mopar community. If you need one, and can fix it, you’re welcome to have it. I’d prefer this goes to someone who will use it. I pulled it out of a 73 grand fury that was getting scrapped. I thought maybe it would fit a 73 Chrysler Newport, and it does not because the dash...

Recently I’ve begun rebuilding my 400 mopar engine. This is my first rebuild, so I’m learning as I go watching many videos online before trying things. As the title states, my crankshaft had a few dings in it. I polished it at home with sandpaper and oil before installation (400, 800, 1000...

I’m sure it’s an easy answer. I just want to know if there’s more recovery than just a razor blade lol. Any suggestions welcome.

changing cam bearings in my 400 mopar. Got new ones in and this is my first time doing it. The one with multiple oil holes are very close, but it seems no matter what direction I try to change it will make the others worse other than a tiny amount. My question is, is this good enough based on...

As title states, I’m looking for the attachments on the water pump housing for my 400 mopar rebuild. They were damaged in the rebuild process, and I’m looking to buy new ones or possibly used if there’s no other options. i have found a replacement temp sender/sensor, but the temperature...

As the title says, I have a 1973 Chrysler Newport that I pulled the engine from. I have it torn down, and I’d like to paint the block back to OEM (a Chrysler/Mopar blue) by brush to give it a long lasting finish. Anybody know where to source this? I saw some POR 15 listings, but I’ve heard they...

As stated in the title, this is my first time pulling any motor. It’s my first real project car, and I’ve already learned a lot. From what I can tell, my 73 Newport with a 400 in it is locked up. Turning the crank by hand is impossible. Regardless, Ive decided I’d like to rebuild the motor, so...

This car I aquired about a month ago, and have put many hours into attempting to get this baby running. She sat for 20 years, so it's a process for sure. After rebuilding the carb, changing the starter, buying an external tank, running a line to the new and installed fuel pump, and changing the...

EDIT: I found one on autozone after weeks of watching. For anyone with a similar issue wait for restock on some websites is my advice. As title says. Any C body 1969-1973 should have the front driver side caliper I need. Mine was seized, and I soaked both sides in vinegar to loosen them. One...

Recently I pulled my seized brake calipers off my 73 Newport. I found quickly you can’t buy replacements, so I was stuck with a few options: #1- buy used and hope they aren’t seized #2- send mine off to get fixed for about $160 each plus shipping #3- attempt to fix mine by soaking in vinegar...

Been working on getting the brakes changed on my 1973 Chrysler Newport that sat for 30 years. Who would have guessed the calipers were seized! After about 3 hours of work I’d say, I was able to successfully beat off the old calipers. I had planned on replacing the old rotors and brake pads of...

Recently got a 73 Newport, and I’ve been doing passive work on it. Changed the fuel pump a little bit ago (let’s not speak about how annoying it was to install), and now it’s time to start up. I tried the main fuel line, but it wasn’t putting any fuel into the carb. So- I took the line off...

FYI motor is 400CI 6.6L Bought this thing a few weeks ago as a project car, but couldn’t get it started. Spent $ and time on new parts all over, and finally decided a compression test was due. Unfortunately, almost every cylinder read 75PSI, mind you this wasn’t a wet test, but still...

Having an issue with my 1973 Newport. It seems like it’s wanting to start, but it isn’t. Basically, every time I try to crank it, it cranks but really slow. So far I’ve changed the oil, changed the starter, changed the battery (also tried jumping off other power sources/ batteries), and...

Bought this Newport about 1 week ago, and have yet to get it to start. Guy said he had it running, and he showed me it turns over when I bought it. Now- a week later I have yet to hear it start. I’m wondering if it’s a starter issue, gas issue, wiring issue, or starter relay issue? To give a...
