part way only

Did you do a compression test? A Leakdown test? A blowby test? In your case; First let me say; here is a wild card; if the oil has been washed off the cylinder wall in the low-reading cylinder, for whatever reason, well; ALL BETS ARE OFF. Assuming this has not occurred, then; If you only have...

In my 55 years of street driving, I've had quite a few cars with 7.25s/and autos and have never even hurt one of them. One of them even had a high-pressure, 340-2bbl with headers. Now transmissions, those I have blown up.

What parts are gold-plated?

No, my numbers are only a guide. And the numbers are not actually mine. I just compiled them together from various sources, including right here from FABO. There are other variables to consider such as the load/stall, time spent in the troublesome area(gears), inlet air temp, chamber shape and...

Yeah, about the alcohol attacking the rubber, that is a known thing. However, the EFI jumpers on my car made it to 23 years. That is to say, the one at the back from tank-sender to the main line, rotted out and the pump started sucking air. On principle, I swapped the front one out, from...

Sweet looking ride.

Is this a race car? Then I cannot say. If a street car, you can pretty much correlate the gas required to the Cranking cylinder pressure, and to the head material/chamber shape/with a minor adjustment for Quench. For Iron open-chamber heads, the rule of thumb is 160 psi max on 91 155 max on 89...

Maybe yes/ maybe no. depends if the yokes are the same, with the same u-joints.

the higher the engine goes, the less oxygen there is to oxidize the fuel, and so the engine loses power. If your 318 pumps 140psi at 100ft elevation, which is not uncommon; then by 4000ft, it will be down to 120psi, and by 8000ft, down to 100psi. But it's the exact same engine. Plus, the higher...

I heard, sometimes, you may need the entire rear end, is that true? IDK.

That was me. Looks like 100 ft or less above sea level/ lucky you, lol.

You know, I see you just itching to spend money with no real idea why your combo is soft. You need to figure a few things out first. number one is to check out your engine; do a compression test. While the plugs are out, look at them! then check the power-timing. then make sure that when you...

Sorry for your loss More sorry for your health. I am just 5 years behind you.

IDK, man: I'm thinking valve job. It'd a turbo car right? Valves don't bend by themselves, and if a valve doesn't close, it only takes seconds to burn a seat. If something went thru there to bend the valve, guess were it is now; Hyup, in the turbo. If the stems are tight, fix it, or you'll be...

and seat sorta looks burned. and the one on the right looks a lil deep too. How about a pic of the piston under it. Did you check the cam timing before the head came off?

To answer your question; I chose 40 over, making the engine 4.04 x 3.58, thus making it equivalent to a stroked 340. Cuz everybody at the car-shows knows that a 360 is a dog, and a stroker-340 is the cat's meow.(NOT) So then, eventually, I stuck my one and only track-ticket in the window...

Yes; RTV only. Sometimes there is not enough room, and the cork seals may split. and usually, they make the manifold sit too high to get the bolts started. and if you start fidgeting with the intake, the gaskets may slip out of place. It's just easier to RTV the china walls. But, as mentioned...

with the 600, as lean as I ran it, it was a lil like making love to my wife; she likes a lil tenderness before getting to it. But that carb was only for cruising with. It went on in the morning just before we left, and came off right after supper when we got to our destination...

@junkyardhero nailed it in post #2 I wouldn't put a 600 V-sec Holley on anything bigger than a 273. Ok wait; I tuned one of those buggers lean and it made 40mpg Canadian on my near 200psi 367 , cruising 75= 1850 rpm, in overdrive, so there's that. But it sucked in standard tune on same...

When you rotate the driveshaft in reverse rotation, the rear sprag locks up, which then forces the sunshell to rotate thru the rear planetary; that's where the additional force comes from. Whereas in normal rotation, the output shaft spins freely with the planetaries, and the slipping clutch...

I've had my share of them, while my babies were in carseats and such. And they made great learner-cars for the kids.

I did not know that!

The hole doesn't absolutely have to be as big as shown; 1) it just makes it easier to install the shifter parts after the trans is in. and 2) easier to remove the cover if you need to replace broken forks. 3) but honestly, if you pop the distributor cap, and unbolt the crossmember, the back of...

15W40, in winter, in Canada, is too thick...... even in summer. I'm with the guy that mention your oil-gallery plug, BUT you could have multiple problems, like; your oil pump relief valve is stuck open, or the oil-pump drive is in the middle of taking a dump. or somehow, your 90* filter...

Did you know? that LA rocker shafts have to be correctly clocked and that 318 rockers are different from 340s, and among all of those are lefts and rights, and when installing a high-lift cam, you gotta check the rocker to retainer clearance, and the pushrod to p-rod tunnel clearance. Oh and if...

Yeah well considering they they are said to be upside down, it's a supernatural that they flush at all.

Hyup 198s in my dash too.

The step headers will be fine I have those on my 400hp 360/4-speed

Yikes on the price, Maybe I'll have to dig one of mine out.
