Bighemi Customs Sets Out To Display Its Abilities And Turn A Few Heads With Its '69 RoadrunnerAs time moves on, developments in car technology have enjoyed a steady pace. Because of this, a '69 Plymouth Road Runner, once the top of the food chain, has become nothing more than an iconic classic muscle car powered by an obsolete-by-today's-standards engine. This doesn't bother us, though. We're willing to make the sacrifices in modern comforts because we find pleasure in the rudimentary and simple mechanics, and the style with the likes we will never see again.inline_mediumwraptextright0030054259/featuredvehicles/b_body/mopp_1010_1969_plymouth_roadrunner_customizedmopp_1010_01_o+1969_plymouth_road_runner+roadrunner.jpgtrue

1968 Plymouth Valiant Project 7.0 Small Block Engine Build
- 1968 Plymouth Valiant Project 7.0 Small Block Engine Build
Building A 427-Inch Small-BlockThe Plan
A buddy of ours has a '68 Valiant that he takes out to track days at the local road course whenever possible. His Valiant is fairly quick with a cast iron 360, but the new Z06 Corvettes were beating him on the straights, so he's ready for more power. The Valiant is a four-speed car with a 2.94 rear end ratio, so the new engine needs to make loads of torque. After thinking it over, we decided the best way to make a small-block act like a Viper engine was to increase the displacement. In our search for displacement, we uncovered some tips and tricks as well as stubbed our toes a few times. The purpose of this article is to show everyone what we've learned on this engine project so far, to help you guys when you decide to go big with a small-block.inline_mediumwraptextright0034098744/projectbuild/mopp_1010_1968_plymouth_valiant_project_70_small_block_engine_buildmopp_1010_01_o+project_70+project_foundation.jpgtrue

Terry Showalter Gets Deep Into A 'Cuda Project And Climbs Out On TopBuying a car sight unseen is a risky business. You can't base your purchase on a low-resolution photo. That's why most of us prefer the old fashioned way of buying a car. We find it, look it over, and count out the bills. Well, what if you still did it the old fashioned way and got into something that's way over your head? Terry Showalter did just that and it took him a year of hard work to come out on top.inline_mediumwraptextright0030009736/featuredvehicles/e_body/mopp_1010_1971_plymouth_barracuda_modifiedmopp_1010_01_o+1971_plymouth_cuda+cuda.jpgtrue

You Won't Just Stop Better. Your Mopar Will Be Quicker With These Aerospace Components Disc BrakesThere are a lot of ways to make your street or strip car run quicker at the track, but the first ones most people think of nearly always have to do with making more engine power. And while a more powerful engine should get your car moving quicker and running faster in the quarter-mile, there are also other components that can greatly affect the acceleration rate. By lightening the transmission and its internal parts, the driveshaft, the differential, and even the axles, wheels, and brakes, it takes less power to turn these components, equaling more power left to propel your car in a straight line.inline_mediumwraptextright00Want to make your Mopar faster? We'll show you how we reduced our Plymouth Barracuda's weight....28676696/techarticles/drivetrain/mopp_1010_1967_plymouth_barracuda_aerospace_components_disc_brake_replacementmopp_1010_01_o+1967_plymouth_barracuda+cuda.jpgtrue

Like the mall is to teenage girls, 555 Race Shop in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, was to Paul Haye growing up. Owner Ken Montgomery built some really famous Mopars over the years, including a '65 Belvedere A990 race car. Even before getting his license, Paul fell in love with the cars Ken built, and wished he could build one just like it. He's had more than a few Mopars over the years, but none like the Belvedere he has today.inline_mediumwraptextright0028423679/hotnews/1008phr_august_2010_home_town_hot_rodding1008phr_02_o+1965_plymouth_belvedere_sedan+front.jpgtrue

Car Craft held our first Engine Swap Drags event at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix over the last weekend in April this year. It was open to any new engine, modular, LS, or 5.7/6.1 Hemi in a pre-'92 car, and we had a total of zero Hemi swaps show up. Maybe we didn't cast our net wide enough, maybe Phoenix was too far for a potential competitor, or maybe we need to publicize the event better next time around. In any case, we wish Matt Delaney had shown up with his '72 Plymouth GTX. Though the valve coverq say 6.1, this is actually a bored and stroked Mopar Performance 392-inch crate engine. Matt's big-bodied GTX was on display at last year's SEMA show. Judging by the missing fenders, we're guessing this picture was taken before the show.

Low Lift & Big TiresCheap, big, and functional is what many of us look for when purchasing our first 4x4. So when our buddy told us about a '77 Plymouth Trail Duster that he could pick up for only 500 bucks, we told him to go buy it and we'll show him how to build it on the cheap. Like many of us, he didn't need some super wizbang buggy, but rather, he simply wanted something he could place a big tire on, fit the entire family in, and that wouldn't break the bank with a never-ending modification list.inline_mediumwraptextright0029521786/techarticles/suspension/131_1008_the_trail_duster_transformation131_1008_01+trail_duster_suspension_tires+sheetmetal_trim.jpgtrue
