    I used to run a BB Mopar w/a 4spd at the track
    What I did for a bulletproof clutch was to have the local clutch rebuild shop use the same ceramic clutch material on my clutch that they used for the semi's. It's the same material used on the expensive HP clutch disc. Only it was twice as thick and cost less than 100.00 bucks.

    A old trick we use to do to clean up a engine. Drain the oil. Pull the coil wire. Pour about a gallon of kerosene in the engine. Crank it over several times. Let it sit for a while. Drain it out and put new oil in and you will be back in business. Big Mike from Kentucky

      While I wouldn't reccommend this unless its a last resort, I have run a quart of kerosene in a running motor for 15 minutes. Drain and refill with fresh oil. Did it twice to my suburban because it had so much sludge. Cleared it up and no longer burns oil.

    I have never been a fan of Chrysler's three finger clutch engagement setup. I put my buddy's 383 with an A-833 into his 70 Roadrunner and no matter what we did we couldnt get the clutch to engage properly. I was only about 26 or 27 back then and I didnt know much about how that setup worked, but it ran STRONG with a Holley 750 double pumper and a big cam, long tube headers, full 3" duals to glasspacks, and an Edelbrock dual plane intake. All that power doesn't help when you can't work the clutch.
    Edit: He has a 69 Roadrunner now which was originally a Hemi car, but now it has a 440 with an A-727 and he loves it. It's yellow and black and in perfect shape. The reason he tore the 70 apart in the first place was because of rusted frame rails and floor pans, quarters, etc. We live in the northeast where snow and salt use is prevalent.

  • @Carcrafter7165
    @Carcrafter7165 Місяць тому +5

    On the weird clutch pedal movement when you floor the gas. Could be a broken motor mount but here’s a tip get a big piece of chain bolt one end of it to the head and the other end to the frame on the driver side or weld it to the frame. Make sure it’s got enough tension before you mount the other end to the frame. So when nail the gas the engine won’t give.
    See when the engine gives its moving the mechanical clutch mechanism as well.

      The ole chain trick still gives you stock mounts when cruising but holds tight when you are on it hard. Doesn't transfer all the vibration until you need it to.
      Had an old f body that was bad about breaking the one motor mount. Put the chain on it and never had another issue.

    When you have an engine that is nasty internally, drain the oil, and replace it with kerosene. Crank it up and let it run for 25-30 seconds. The kerosene has enough lubricant, that it wont hurt the engine, running it for no longer 30 seconds or so. Shut it down, drain it and fill it back up with oil. It works wonders. I had a high mileage 86 model 4 cylinder Toyota Corolla. It burned about 2 or 3 quarts of oil between changes. My uncle told me to try the kerosene and i thought he was pullin my leg. I tried it anyway though, and it must have had some sticky rings, because after i ran that kerosene, it never used a drop again. As a matter of fact, it was dead on full, when i totalled it! 🤣
    I dont think i would ever try the kerosene on a modern engine, but the older ones can handle it fine. 👍

    I had a 65 Barracuda formula S that was damn quick. Swapped ot the 7 1/4 rear for a 83/4 housing and a 4:56 gears.
    It was a mean street racer and a high 12 second strip car back in the late 60s and early 70s.
    I ran a 3 finger clutch and it was perfect in the Barracuda.

    Man that dang car has some Christine vibes lol. It’s out for your blood, I think I’d just let that thing say in the weeds and call it a win.

    Another thing about a 318 was, they would turn 8500 with stock valve train! Only in low gear because, in stock form they didn't have enough hp to rev that high in higher gears!

    Hey just wanted to share some ideas, go with solid steel motor mounts and solid transmission mount, will definitely hookup a lot quicker, also maybe 90 pound clutch ? And a chain and sprocket clutch linkage, I used that setup in CJ5 with a hopped up 283 Chevy, and would pull the front end two feet off the ground run about 5 years with no trouble, just my two cents, God Bless.

    Buddy of mine back in high school bought a brand new 65 Dodge Dart 4 speed with the 273 HiPo engine. That thing was fast.

    I vote you make it a dedicated drag car! Already got the weight reduction so add bars and power! See how long that old 318 will go!
