Hey everybody, I've been a Mopar Nut, before I could legally drive. Anyways my hobby is mud racing. I'm always looking for knowledge, and most other mud racers drive Chebby's and they are no help to me. I built my truck about 6 years ago, and in the last couple of years I started actually trying to build my engines. (Before that I would just blow up old junker motors) Anyways I will probably ask a lot of dumb questions, about RB's, (I.E. I'm building a new motor, cause I screwed up royally on my last one) Just try not to flame me too hard.. hehe

Oh I suppose I should give what I own here huh? Well I have 4 Dodge's total, (1965 Dodge Custom 880, 1967 Dodge Dart 2dr hardtop, 1982 Dodge D50, and a 2001 2500 4x4 Cummins)

The two I'll probably ask the questions about are the D50 and the Cummins.

My D50 is my mud racing truck, it was powered by a 440, however as I stated above I botched the engine build, so it is seized, it has a 727 w/ a 3500 stall Boss Hogg converter, a NP208 t/case, GM 10 bolt front axle with 3.73 gears (open), and a Ford 9" rear with 3.89 gears (spooled). The truck has approximately 15" of lift (over stock 2wd) and I'm running 42" Super Swamper TSL's

I'm hoping to get some useful advise here, and not the standard mud racing advise of "Switch to Chebby"
