Not quite what you're looking for, but we have a 4.25 stroke BB crank. We were one of the first ones to buy Molnar back in 2016. We also have his 7.1" rods.
We are pushing a heavy car down the track and the numbers show well over 800 crank HP. Zero issues.
Tom is a great guy. Yes, he actually answered the phone when I had questions about rod side clearances!
He worked at Oliver, owned and then sold K1 and started Molnar. His stuff is NOT the same as anyone else's. Some buy the same cheap rods and put their name on them but his stuff is completely different.
I am the poster child for abusing parts. Lots of dragstrip passes, street miles and nitrous. I would always recommend Molnar. thank you for your input. I know I should be going with one of the American brands, but my pocketbook just does not allow it right now.

I’ve done a few over the years. Never did take long for me, a greasy rope in channel helps a lot and a heat gun to get rubber soft

Did you run in that plates &28's race in Edgewater in Ohio? Yes Thought that was your car, that video started late in the evening (dark) didn't see it doing the daytime filming.

My understanding is that Bucky's Cuda was torn down at Indy to include the transmission and converter and was found totally legal.
I understand that was Indy and this was Maple Grove but I would be surprised if Bucky was cheating.

So much for any rebody  I get from the vid that the car is ok, it was just put on the headstone. Agreed, Im thinking the car itself is still above ground. Just the headstone has a photo of it

6,600 in 1984 is worth $20,028.74 todayThe MSRP for the 2024 Ram 1500 starts at $40,565Well, 1984 money is different from 2024 money, right ?
I bought a Hemi 4-speed Road Runner in NorCal for $4400 that year - non-#s, needed restoration, but complete & rust-free, and drove it 450 miles home.
Kind of apples/oranges, but it makes a point.

I’m looking at the h beam rod for my Hemi, Scat, K1 or Molinar. Close in price $650 to $750. Just a street engine and I don’t want the stock rod (heavy, 1050 vs 850 grams). Ross pistons and 4.150 crank.
Opinions? I run K1 rods in my Hemis and they have been great so far and measured well out of the box. I don't think K1 makes gen 2 hemi rods anymore. They make stroker cranks for the hemi, but I think they stopped making rods for the gen 2 hemi a while ago. You may want to consider Eagle rods as well in that price range. They're comparable to Scat stuff.

That is insane. Some of my friends with Titans tell me horror stories about just changing the starter.

Keep the brake switch activated , slight pressure on the pedal just enough to keep the lights on or [jump the switch] will keep the auto park off.

Speedway motors sells one for $359. That's a nice price. But it looks like you'd have to get some long bolts/s studs for the valley studs because it looks like the hole is drilled all the way through. But the picture could be wrong too.

Set of 340 TA Heads
No Rockers or shafts.
Heads were cleaned and magnifluxed.
See pictures and contact me with any further questions.
Heads were modified to add steel O-rings (a High-Perf mod from 'back-in-the-day).
Some light porting on intake and exhaust- no break-through or welds.
The only issue the Mag-ing identified was slight micro-cracks on the inside of the combustion side of the spark-plug threads (this is common from over-torquing spark plugs)
Bronze guides in place.
$2000
Would prefer not to ship.
Located in SE Wisconsin

Thanks, guys - it's just a curiosity for me, as the only '69 Dart I've ever owned was a WSS 318 car.
Dodge may well have figured they'd save a few bucks on the striped cars, but that would seem to invite a bit of confusion/error on the fender nameplate.
I have the brochure - which are pre-production cars, often photo-retouched, and not necessarily 100% accurate.
Spec sheets I saw on Barry's Hamtramck site didn't seem to go into that detail, but I'll look again.

I highly suggest digitally measuring the portion of the ball joint that threads into the control arm.
I had a ball joint that that wasn't going to tighten and it ended up mic'ing smaller, I measured and installed another new ball joint I had without issue.
I had a very similar issue at work on a fleet vehicle.
This shot of a lower control arm bushing shows that not all parts are created equal, I thought that GM branded parts might be held to a higher standard..... they were not. The hole should be centered, it should centered and not be eccentric Glad you showed this - I'm going to be getting upper & lower bushings as well. Yeah - this one sucks - like zero quality control! Check with Bill Rolick , he sells/sold Raybestoes professional line , if he has them they will be good parts.

Ive sold a few sets of the upper body line mldgs for a 1966 Satellite.
Everyone went in a 4inch PCV tube, the thick-walled version.
Its not cheap. But every one of them made it to the buyer with no issues ( knocks on wood )

The radio is just sitting up there. Not fastened down yet. I do have the power connection hooked up. The speaker wires are being the pita.

I personally installed the cam and heads (dot to dot with 1 and 6 at TDC). I dropped the OEM dizzy with the rotor pointing at #6.
Why did you do that? Should have had the rotor pointing to number 1. Recheck and reset the distributor in accordance with the FSM procedure.
