Hello,

I’m intending to install a 4sp onto my 1955 G1 331 and that drive train into a 1955 Windsor.
I’m curious if anyone has attempted a similar stunt, and if they have any recommendations.
Planning to use a slave piston to mitigate a manual clutch, and there are options regarding bell housings and starter locations that are still open…

Thanks,
Mike

Hi There C body brothers & sisters,

Does anyone know a decent tranny rebuilder in New England , preferably in Mass or the Shire? Working on a 68 Newport.

Thanks,

Hello,

I’m looking (forward) to find the wider collector cast iron headers for my 331 project motor.
The stock ones have what looks like a 2″ collector.
Pretty sure the 4 bolt are more desirable, and have a wider collector (3″ or so I am told).

Trying to fit with my 1955 – 300 clone project.
There was a company selling them through hot heads but they are now discontinued.
Appreciate any leads.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello Fellow Forward Lookers,

Trying to find reproduction seat covers for a 55 Chrysler 300 (cloned from Windsor).
Best price I can find is $4,500., for just the covers. They don’t have to be leather, vinyl would be fine. Does anyone have any other sources for le$$ dough?

Thanks,
Mike

Fellow Chrysler enthusiasts,

I passed a slab C-body the other day in traffic. What caught my eye was what appeared to be 2 long bars on the top of the rear fenders, one on each side. I’m not sure what it was, but if a luggage rack, something I’m not familiar with. I’ve seen roof mount, as well as the conventional dozen or so bars that bolt to the trunk, but could use some help identifying what they are, & if they are factory.
Anyone ever seen these before?

Ahoy, I like the look and…

Nautical hardware or luggage rack? slab C-body

Hello Fellow Mopar enthusiasts.

I’ve never been to the fall event in Hershey PA that is going on next week.
Is there absolutely everything under the sun as far as old mopar parts go, or is it new after market floor mats and air fresheners, and motor oil, and window scrapers?

Any advice on how to maximize time on the scene?

Where to stay, … Best places for chow.

Many Thanks!

I have an overheating issue on a 68 Newport.
I’ve done lots.. burped, flushed, tested for hydrocarbons (negative) new shroud, radiator, water pump, fuel pump, checked timing, etc.
My latest trick was to finally replace/yank the 2 “temporary plugs”, 1 from each side, thinking this might inhibit flow.
[ FYI – this stank since they were deformed/mushroomed a bit, and I had to push them into the block and trim off (circumcise) the inside ring in order to get them…

Do popped freeze plugs mean your block is spent?
