I have a 72 Demon with a 340 and I am going to be installing a set of tti headers will they work with my Milodon 8 qt. oil pan? Heres a link to the oil pan I have: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=MIL%2D30935&view=32&N=700+400380+4294908110+4294840100

Dart IRS

Would a 4 wheel independent suspension system help handling in a Dart?
I think so. So I bought a 300-c that got t-boned. Now I want to put the entire drive train in a 1970 Dart. I’ve done b-body restorations back in the 80’s but that stuff was all stock.
I want to build a “Q ship”.
It’s an old WW-II term for a stock appearing tramp steamer that looks inconspicuous. They had 8″ deck guns hidden under false super structures and more speed than a fast destroyer.It would sail up to unsuspecting…

318 is suddenly doing THIS:

I am running a stock 318 with a Holley 2280, stock ignition and 4-wire ECU, single ballast.

Now it has a 360-727 combo, and the only thing on the car that was there when I started, is the paint and the top. I’m going to do those this winter. Still have a few thing to sort out,like the A/C, under hood wiring clean up, and finish the glovebox. I will have to make one, The A/C takes up the room the old one…

question about mini tub

in every article about how to do mini tubs, i’ve noticed the hanger that is spot welded to the inner fender is rotated during the middle of the process. does this hanger/support move easily and also when welding it back on, does it need to be in the position angle as before (with triming the bottom)?
