Kinda dated news.
From Aug. of last year.
"ATTENTION PARTS VENDORSTotally Auto’s ENTIRE INVENTORY for sale as a lot.Enormous parts collection hoarded over 4-decades of “Eat/Sleep/RepeatMopar’s”2-containers packed floor to ceiling with A,B & E-body parts. Heater Boxes, Manifolds, pedal assemblies, engine brackets, carbs, columns, trim and then more trim. Important to those building Mopars there’s all the brackets, cables, switches, mounts, and trinkets ya always need. There’s even a quite impressive amount of rare hubcap sets, trim rings, (yes 14&15”), and about 80 feet of wheels! Maybe 400 seat belts, seat tracks and interior components. Glass, regulators, tracks and jacks in every configuration you could think of. Brake parts/ good stuff, suspension parts, lamps lights, bezels and lenses! Shelves full of dash clusters – plastics pads, glove boxes, lamps, radios, mirrors, and a bunch of NOS.This is Totally Autos entire inventory so there’s a lot more than valuable original parts.We made clip and fastener kits for a very long time. Included is not just the inventory, (which is vast) but all of the show boards with samples and part numbers and codes that only years of tedious research could produce. Could be, it’s been decades since anyone has seen some of these fasteners.. All arranged in 2 cabinets, yes, all the cabinets and shelving too!Multiple engines, at least 8 727’s, a pallot of rear housings, center sections, axles, down to the bolts and gaskets. Leaf springs too, along with survivor and reproduction fuel tanks and senders. Speaking of reproductions, some of you know, we also had our own line of reproduction parts, and that entire inventory is also in this package, as well as the plethora of unused new parts, Cabinets too.So we were a restoration shop, as expected, there’s all the specialty equipment you need. Front and rear dollies for rolling around a body while you’re working. Engine cradles to build the front suspension engine transmission sub-assembly. Engine stands and a whole bunch of specialty tools.We offered restored parts too back in the day, plated stuff like door latches, side marker light brackets, trunk latches, strikers, distributor mounts, relay housings, fuel tubes, thousands of nuts and bolts and much more, much-much more, all restored originals! There’s a huge cabinet full of them and yes, the cabinet too.Then there’s piles of research, all of our paint codes and formulas..enough to fill a book! Wing car reference materials, survivor photos, archives, from back before we had cameras in our phones! There’s also boxes of microfiche film for all of the muscle eara Mopars, and the micro fish machine is with it. Service manuals too.If you have or are starting up a resto shop, this is all you will ever need. Above that, it’s a swapmeeters mother load. Probably well over $700,000.00 in parts alone sold individually.It’s no secret an injury forced me into retirement so even my personal stash, much of which (although properly stored) hasn’t seen the light of day in 30-years! I’m also including my collection of thousands, (likely more) all-Mopar Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning, 1/18 scale die-casts and many more rare Mopar collectables and memorabilia!I’m not building cars anymore. I just want to pass this stuff along to those of you who are.Like I said in the beginning, “This is Totally Auto’s ENTIRE INVENTORY” ‘ya can even have the phone number if you wish.That brings me to my point, this is no small deal, I’m pricing it reasonable, $185,000I’m not able to do individual parts at this time… If you’re serious, Hit me up, I’d appreciate it. Otherwise, thanks for your time and reading.There’s 40 years of Mopar History in those cabinets, on those shelves, and in those containers.Select visits in Quakertown Pa., for qualified buyers by appt."

?? How does it attach ?? Does it have the Pentastar cast or molded into it near the part number? If not, its likely not a Mopar part..

I'd search on reprogramming, I find it hard to believe it's different HW.
The 392 just has a different tune.

The 1968 HP 440 375 HP and 383 HP motors were orange in 1968 in the dodge and Plymouth A and B body cars, the 375 HP440 H.P motors in 1967 were green in both Dodge and Plymouth A and B body cars  I think those motors were Green in the Chrysler cars those years   1968 440,440 hp,, 383, 383hp were Turquoise

I restored this car some time agao. Was a local car for years. All numbers match, build sheet and fender tag. Auto with factory A/C. Car had very little sheet metal repairs. Restored back to factory colors and could barly get $27,000 for it when I sold it. It blows my mind as everything was so nice when I was done. I think the color kinda held it back on value. Wish I had kept it. I just don't understand why so many " Mopar guys" .. don't like factory yellow or green Chrysler/Plymouth/ Dodge vehicles?? Mopar had some great color choices for green and yellow and for that matter, bronze or brown, back then IMO. Yeah I know, " those colors are too girly or too ugly"... especially about yellow cars. But not everyone likes Go Mango, or In Violet. In discussions with people trying to figure it out, I’ve found the most common reason is people have a mundane daily driver. A toy is suppose to be “fun,” including the color. Some, but very few, have said something that I translate to “I want extra attention when I drive my toy.” It’s just whatever our dna makeup causes. I’m the only guy that will tell you white(those suffer in value or go unsold) is his favorite, I was never happier than when I had my 69 rr(guy gave up selling and I saved the number until I had the funds, he was happy as a clam I called) in that. It was even brighter than the factory white. I drive a white vehicle everyday and would prefer that on the toy.

I too would much prefer to buy from a private individual too.

The problem here is we are really judging photographs, not cars.
I suspect a better lit/staged pic of the red car would have changed the replies you are getting here,, meaning effectively GIGO.

I'm using a Meziere electric water pump on a 526 stroker big block (street car). The pump as well as the fan is triggered by the temp sensor.
The question is:can the thermostat be eliminated AND should I install a restrictor plate to slow down the flow through the system? I've used a Meziere pump WP 105 (it bolts into a stock housing) since 2007. I use a restrictor plate (basically the same size as a punched out thermostat) It's cooled the 528, 572 and 655 engine versions of my Challenger street and strip with no issues. I've had various fans and controllers on it (the breakages being due to heavy wheelstand landings). Using firmly mounted Davis twin fan digital controller (fitted recently) and Spal fans at the moment, they seem to be working well

I have a 604 inch hemi. CNC ported older MP hemi heads and fabricated crossarm. first go around with the motor big cam / compression, was over 1000 hp. Long story short sold car, bought it back years later. Motor had a broke roller lifter. So during rebuild we did 10.5 to 1 compression, and a small roller cam. i don't have the specs handy but it was under .700 lift. i thought the cam would be kind of small but didn't want to hurt things and street drive. Still made a quick 860HP and a ton or torque. It's a great street combo and a blast to drive. for a street car when i drove it 1000hp it would just annihilate the tires in every gear on the street. lots of noise and no forward motion. with good heads, pump gas and cubic inch, you can go small on the cam, not kill parts and still make solid power. You start hitting diminishing returns on these when you get over 900 HP, and it gets way more aggressive for smaller gains.

Always a silver lining. Due to the overwhelming rejection of the poor-quality Hurricane 6 engine in the Rams- Stellantis is bringing back the Hemi in the Rams. Hopefully the tick is remedied. CDJR needs not a win- but many sales success Wins. It's just a shame CDRJ is not an American owned company. The Challenger and Charger were truly amazing in that- younger people who don't know and who don't care about the 1963-1972 era of great Mopars would buy the modern Dodge muscle simply because they like them! Thats what you want- the young demographic buying your product. Harley Davidson is an example where only the older crowd that has an affinity for the 60s stuff Buys HD bikes (And the older guys generally have the money for such an expense.) You want preferably to appeal to all the age demos and present different pricing options. Many don't know this, but the (Modern times) Challenger consistently outsold the Camaro. This is huge! Us older guys know that traditionally the Chevy Camaro sales ALWAYS buried the sales of the Mopar equivalent.

I never click on any of that stuff IE anything from FB! Won't go there and won't click on any links to it! They should bring back the post about Motortrend and Road Kill. There was video of Joe there and he had a lot of good points. It was removed because somebody got political. Really? What should be removed is all the political crap on the unmoderated forum. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.mysmiley.net/microsoft/Microsoft_pile-of-poo__94a9_mysmiley.net.png)

What i don't get is why someone buys a 4X4 and wants to drop it. Or they have a 4X2 and want to raise it. I think drop spindles would work better, It keeps the front end geometry where it needs to be. I don't think you want to look like the ricers with the wheels at 80 degrees.

As a former alignment guy I detested lowered vehicles when I made my living that way.
 I can't imagine how many hack jobs you've seen. I've seen plenty walking around shows.  But seriously I thought a well engineered kit took the headache out of this. Maybe the OP should look into it.
