The Mopar (Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth) A-Body (Dart, Duster, Demon, Scamp, etc) engine compartment is rather small. A lot of the work to be done to an engine that is installed takes some tricky maneuvering, or shifting the engine around.

Installing headers in an A-Body is a particularly complicated task.

Here's the sequence to follow to complete this task:

This is easier to do if you have at least one other person assisting you, from the top of the engine.

1. Disconnect battery.

2. Jack up the driver's side of the car, place a jack stand underneath the driver's side front.

3. Unbolt the motor mounts (both sides).

4. Place a block of wood on your floor jack, position the jack underneath the oil pan.

5. The passenger's side header should slide in from underneath without much of a problem. You might have to jack the motor up a bit to get it in, though.

6. Jack up the engine as far as it will go. You can remove the distributor cap to give you some added clearance. BE CAREFUL, the distributor will be pressing against the firewall at this point.

7. Take a break, have a beer.

8. Disconnect the center link from the steering box arm and driver's side tie-rod.

9. Have a buddy stand on the driver's side of the engine with a crow bar. Position the crow bar between the motor mount and the engine block.

10. As your buddy pushes the engine as far as he can towards the passenger side of the car, slide in the driver's side header from underneath the car.

11. Lower the engine down off the jack.

12. Take a break, have a beer. Offer your friend a beer.

13. Bolt the headers up to the engine.

14. Unbolt the headers, you forgot to install the gaskets.

15. Take a break, have a beer. Offer your friend another.

16. Bolt the headers up to the engine.

17. Put the steering linkage back together.

18. Bolt up the motor mounts.

19. Have the front end aligned.

Outboard Motors are Types of Motors

Outboard motors are used most commonly for boats and are developed as a self-contained unit with an engine. They are designed to be mounted at the rear of the boat and are most common method for propelling a small watercraft. As well as providing propulsion, outboard motors will provide a method of steering control.

It is interesting how an outboard motor is used. It is made to pivot over their mountings and used to control the way of the propeller. When boats are used through shallow water the outboard motor can be tilted forward over their mounts to elevate the propeller and the transmission shaft out of the water to make sure that there is no accumulation of seaweed hitting the underwater hazards such as rocks.

There are many manufactures using this method of motor for their boats these days. It is has been determined to be a great method for this use and will make it a lot easier for the watercrafts to be used in any kind of water. By using this method for boats, outboard motors are going to be an affordable and convenient way for anyone to have. There are so many different levels of technology that make it possible for anyone to enjoy their life and have more fun on the water.

The technology of outboard motors has come along way. Small outboard motors are truly self-contained. They will have integral fuel tanks and control mounted on the body of the motor and steered by a tiller and connected to the motor. Small motors can weigh as little as twelve kilograms and will provide sufficient power to move the boat around. They are portable and able to be removed by loosening the mounted clamps.

Today the outboard motors are designed to take on bigger boats and will provide more power than before. Diesel outboard motors are also available but their weight and cost make them more efficient for the normal use on regular boats. You can shop online for most of the motors that you need. If you go online, you will see that there are so many different types to choose from and you will be able to have within a short time.

You can also visit your local boat dealership. Check to see if they carry these types of outboard motors. They will be able to give you great service and help you choose the right motor that will make your boat more efficient so that you can have the maximum fun on your boat in the water. You will see and feel the difference when you decide to use this type of efficient running motor on your boat.

Gas or electric trolling motor on my 14' Fiberglass v-hull?

I just need to know if an electric motor would do the job for my boat, or if I should pick a gas motor. Also I would have to rear mount the motor and I don't have much room. Can I find a gas motor almost that small, or will I be stuck with electric. All I really want is to have something in case my old outboard quits on me in the middle of the lake. I have a deep cycle battery for the main motor, can I use that or will I need to find another.

An electric motor weighs less and takes up less room. Your boat is small enough that a large electric might get you in. However, I tried that on a small aluminum 12' boat and when I encountered a moderate head wind and a few weeds, I stopped dead in the water. You could use the same battery since you only plan on using it if your main engine fails. How about just taking along a cell phone and a few phone numbers of nearby marinas. Also just flagging down a passing boat for a tow works pretty good here in the Midwest where I live. You would spend more on a back up then you will in tows.
