Am I reading it right? A 3.79 crank with a stock length rod uses a stock piston?

Just what I figured. I’ll hit up the local machinists and see if they want to buy them. It’s a SB Chevy journal which is a big market. When the timing is right I’ll just get a complete rotating assembly.

They quit equipping new cars with bias ply in 75. I figure they rode on new radials and smaller bars for the 75 MY. They probably realized that they needed a bigger bar for radials and came out with the .85 in ‘76. Is this plausible, @junkyardhero ? I’m hypothesizing the increase in bar sizes...

I will report back with some results pertinent to this topic soon. I have a '73 Duster 340 in the air right now. Starting out on the fresh total restoration (3,800 miles) it had the KYB's, 1.03" bars, and stock pencil thin sway bar. I was initially just installing Doctor Diffs Cordoba brakes and...

@ValiantS @tvt59 @TT5.9mag I, like @mopardude318 , am putting together a 3.79 piece meal. After seeing the longer rods in question it makes me wonder if I put the cart ahead of the horse on one of my purchases, rods. And, I'm only two components deep into my parts collecting! I have a virgin...

Sorry, didn’t read the desired style to well but Cragar Soft 8’ might be worth a look. I’ve had them on my cuda before. they come in 15 and 17”.

I’ve lifted small blocks with plates but I like to use one of these now. For one, it’s easy to change the angle with the hand crank. JEGS 80048: Engine Load Leveler [1,250 lb.] - JEGS $40

I agree, BUT, the Borgeson box IS really good. Maybe I just don't notice a center dead spot on it (at all) because of the memory of how bad a stock box is. Seems like I turn and it goes.

Inspect for cracks on the K-frame where the box mounts. Look at it while someone turns the wheel R and L.

I would be down for the western leg. Also which direction? I have a lot of ties to SoCal but I grew up and now live (again) just a few miles from Rt 66 in Oklahoma. I’m installing a 2.76 so my car would be great for it. I could even sleep in the Space Duster! Here’s a better idea. Southern...

?? I hope it’s not a stupid question but could you just put a polishing wheel on a bench grinder? Is that too fast or slow? I’m confused on why there are bench grinders and bench polishers. They seem the same to me except the wheels.

Broke your flexplate!

My bolt came in the mail yesterday from Fast Fish Auto! 4140 steel machined goodness. This is Deteoit Muscle Technologies gasket set. It does have a copper and nylon washer. Call Jeff Guenther - (704)701-6658 www.fastfishautoparts.com

I’m sure this has been posted somewhere before but I just bought an upgraded bolt that IS the correct length. I’ve read Mancini’s bolt is a tad too long and the head is not the same size as the crummy oe bolt. Fast Fish Auto from Kannapolis, NC makes these. He may even be a member here. Small...

@-Boosted- I think I got in on that Scamp ad too. I made a comment about Mike being a little overbearing. Got a nice little PM. I had to call out the injustice! Lol

Yes, I was going to mention that to the OP when the mention of Chevy pedestal rockers came up.

I have a NOS Magnum bare block with dealer stickers still on it. Someday I want to build it and, while years away, I routinely think about the direction the build should go. The cylinder head choice is something that internally debate. Edelbrock Magnum's or Edelbrock or TF LA? I think I'm going...

@TT5.9mag This begs the question, what is you preferred rocker to the Magnum head or do you go LA on a Magnum block?

That's about $30 worth of blades! Glad you got it off.

Welcome from Shawnee. Got an extra trunk lid?

The mention of an oscillating saw is a good suggestion. I have a Milwaukee and love it.

Any part #'s or SKUs would be helpful.

I too went with the 26”. Even if you have the small opening I would go with 26” anyway. My car is a 340/A833 so it has the big opening. I believe most manual V8’s, A/C cars, and /6 manual had the big openings. That’s not gospel truth but I think there was a hierarchy like that.
