These days we're all looking for ways to save money, and when it comes to our cars we can usually accomplish this goal by performing routine maintenance. Read more...

If you've been a Mopar Muscle reader for long, chances are you remember our B3 (budget, bracket, Barracuda) project vehicle. The original premise of this build was to legally run ten second elapsed times in the quarter, on a ten thousand dollar budget. Read more...

We're talking weight on your front end-less of it means better handling and quicker acceleration. CAP Automotive Products' new tubular lower control arms shave 8 pounds off the front of your car, yet are twice as strong as your original stamped-steel arms. Read more...

As much as we like wrenching on our own cars, there are just some parts of an old Mopar that it makes sense to let somebody else repair. Read more...

We've all seen, and probably even owned, Mopar cars with instrument panels that don't look good or function properly. Rather than pulling the instruments from our cars and repairing them... Read more...

As much as we like wrenching on our own cars, there are just some parts of an old Mopar that it makes sense to let somebody else repair. One of the items that we just don't have the patience, tools, or parts to repair ourselves is the instrument panel on our dashboard. Read more...

What's the one piece on your car you spend the most time looking at? If your using your car for what it is designed for-driving-the instrument cluster is the correct answer. When our beloved Mopars came from the factory, everything was new. Read more...

When this magazine hits your mailbox (or newsstand) in May, the weather should be pleasant. The sun is probably shining, and the temperature cool enough that you can roll down the windows in your Mopar and cruise comfortably. Read more...

Think back to, oh, say August. Remember how hot that cruise was on Saturday? It doesn't matter which Saturday, because in August, they were all hot. Same with June and July. Yeah, there's nothing like peeling yourself off of your vinyl seat covers... Read more...

That's what you'll say the first time you fire up your Mopar's air-conditioning system after you fit it with Classic Auto Air's Sanden rotary compressor. It's the centerpiece of a conversion kit that will save horsepower and weight, improve fuel efficiency, and look cool doing it-even at up to 6,000 rpm. Read more...

We have all heard the hype and seen the cool commercials with the beat-up Duster, the new Hemi-powered truck, and even a front engine dragster sporting a first-generation Hemi, but does the new Hemi engine live up to our expectations? Read more...

With so many intake manifolds on the market, it can be difficult to decide just which one is correct for your application. Heavy cars with small camshafts and high final gear ratios can benefit from a low-volume, dual-plane design, while all-out race engines generally perform better with open plenum intake manifolds. Read more...

The '07 Mopar Muscle/Amsoil Engine Challenge featured the Chrysler small-block, and the engine builders certainly impressed us with the power their engines made. Even more impressive was the fact that none of the engines suffered what we would call catastrophic failure, attesting to the durability of the Mopar small-block as well as to the quality of the aftermarket parts available for this engine. Read more...

Ronnie Sox and the Sox and Martin Racing team epitomized the professionalism, dedication, and sometimes sacrifice that it takes to dominate a professional sport. As a team, the Sox and Martin list of wins and championships in multiple racing classes could easily fill this magazine article. Read more...

Since the original A-990 cars were equipped with 426 Hemi engines and a cross-ram intake with dual Holleys, it would be against the laws of the Mopar world to build a clone of one of these magnificent cars and not install a Hemi engine. It would also go against Bill Goldberg's credo. Read more...

When it comes to bang for the buck, it's hard to beat a big-block Mopar. The wedge engine (named for its wedge-shaped combustion chamber) is a great combination of torque and horsepower and responds well to modifications. Read more...

Back in the early days, choosing cylinder heads for your small-block Mopar engine used to be a no-brainer. If you were on a budget, you'd simply freshen the factory steel heads and, perhaps, perform some port and bowl work, top them off with stiffer springs matched to the camshaft you chose, and try to be happy with the power the heads made. Read more...

In the initial testing of our Mauler 440 engine project, we had a chance to see how close our selection of parts came to meeting the stout objectives we originally set. The one thing that stood out from that test session was that our combination was overwhelming the capabilities of the flat-tappet hydraulic camshaft we were running. Read more...

For some, the ritual of hauling a grease-encrusted engine in the trunk of their car to the machine shop is something to look forward to. It's a new lease on life for a tired engine, and the promise of more power and better performance. For others, it's a ritual requiring time, patience, and even more time. Read more...

The one thing that can be said for Butler Performance Group is that the company is not one to rest on its laurels. In addition to building a 440ci, 2,200hp, gasoline-burning twin-turbo Pontiac V-8... Read more...

It seems nowadays you can't pick up a car publication without reading about a junkyard crawl. Unfortunately, that's how auto trends go. One day restomods and g-machines are all the rage, the next day it's rat-rods, old school gassers, and pump-gas, 10-second street machines; next month it'll be something else. Read more...
