Im running one my Deuce and its awesome. the biggest benefit ive found is the downshift drop that will almost send you through the windshield is controllable. you just need to be sure to be slow enough when you drop into 2nd and first. i would like a tach but the 302 is supposed to have a...

That's kinda my school of thought too. I kinda want to put my time and money into this 76' Dodge dart that I ive been trying to get my hands on before I even got this truck. I took delivery on the Dart a month before I left, so now im kinda stuck between the two lol.

Yeah that's kinda how I feel, but ive had it up for sale for a while and didn't really have any takers which I thought a odd, its got a clean title and is in good shape, I didn't think the market for these trucks was that narrow. I had to take it off the market because I had to leave the country...

Rosco- Thats tractor is pretty sweet, ive never seen one. If i run the 350/4L60e combo i have in the shop, i think ill figure out a way to mate the stock t-case to somthing like a dana 300 t-case (clock-able) and just not use the front output. IDK im going back and forth. this is my first duece...

If i had my hands on a m715 i would 6bt all day. those trucks are sweet and to add that diesel in...awesome!

i wasnt aware of the counter rotational front drive. That is good info. i think adapting the tranny to a 350 would be challenging espescially with big bump in power. I know the tranny is tough, but i think if i do the swap i would probably use a GM T-case and a divorce shaft between the stock...

Hello all. i am in a big debate on what to do with my truck right now. i would like to swap the GMC inline 6 out for one of the 350 Chevy Vortecs (fuel injected) i have in the shop. This of course drives a transmission change and the biggest issue will the transfer case. I was thinking of...

USMC 00-08: That list would be great. ive heard rumors of a couple lists of this nature going around. I think if a group of guys could put together a list or a small reference guide, it would be wildly useful. I have not heard back from Classicparts at all. I recently got a couple more...

I was curious about the 270 and 302 being the same size also with a bigger cylinder punch? there seem to be quite a few similarities in the motors. obviously a head gasket would be no good, but oil pan, valve cover etc? something else I pondered as I haven't been inside one of these engines...

also a site called marxparts.com in Wisconsin is a Best Gasket (four piece oil pan gasket #28011) distributor and they sell the rope rear mains (#5144) as well as a "graph-tite" head gasket (#589G).

a quick update: im waiting for an email back from classicpartsusa.com about their gasket, but I talked to American classic truck parts at Americanclassic.com and they have a one piece pan gasket (GKT-145) that they are sure will work as the block mating surfaces are the same from military to...

wow this is great information. thanks fellows. ill see what I come up with for numbers and ill get in touch with classic parts and see what they have to say about their gasket. Ive made a few flat cork gaskets in my travels but never have made the silicon gaskets. how do account for the curve...

Hello all again. I have yet another question...Im getting everything together to do a rear main seal on my deuce and ive got the seal (the graphite? one from Napa) and I get a Sneaky pete tool, but I need the oil pan gasket also. a website called classicpartsusa.com sells a 302 pan gasket for...
