    Question about intake... Cracks

    I found a really good deal on this intake... Problem is, it has two cracks on one side... I don't think it would be a problem, as the BB Mopar has no coolant flowing through the intake and it looks like a couple washers would take care of spreading the load... BUT, I wanted to get some other...

    Front axle options...

    Hello all! I'm in the parts gathering process of my '27 Dodge Brothers (4door sedan) build and I'm trying to figure out what to do with the front axle... I could use some input. The original front axle has NO brakes and the bolt pattern is 5 on 6-1/2"... So I need to figure something out. This...
