I have the MB clutch unit IIRC. Running it with a 68 pump. 3/4” from the original 340 A/C radiator.

I think you’re running into “trying to get back to 10.5” it probably never was 10.5, higher that other LA’s? Yes, true 10.5 probably not. The deck heights are usually higher than spec. How far in the hole are your pistons. I would lean towards the cometics. Probably overkill, but the lack of a...

Are you SURE what you found is for an LA small block? Most of the clutches have slots. So unless the slots are not spaced equally, it should fit most water pump bolt patterns. I actually don’t think there are different patterns though.

I was thinking about ceramic coating my exhaust manifolds to cut down on under hood temps. Looking at the claims on the websites, it seemed reasonable. I know someone who did just that. Inside and out. IR temp gun says it’s a waste of time in regards to heat control. 5 degrees of decrease in...

I was required to run a “race” tire on drag week. It was the only 14” that would work.

In competition I have to run this tire. Testing I run the M&H

In competition F70-14 redline lines, last week testing was a 14” M&H DOT Musclecar tire. My limited converter flash, (3500) doesn’t let me use all the M&H tires ability. Which works out just fine for me. More apples to apples, just more repeatable.

Last weekend it ran a 11.24 at 119 with a 1.60 60’, but was with a M&H DOT race tire, not the required F70-14 redline So it doesn’t count, but the M&H DOT tire doesn’t make the car quicker. Just easier to drive. I believe a high 11 teen is possible with a redline tire. Replacing the radiator...

My wide lobe separation helps with the exhaust manifolds.

Summit has a nice calculator when you look a pistons. You need to know Bore Stroke Dome CC’d + or - zero deck? Chamber cc’s

I’m running PAC 1903’s at 1.80 on this cam. Pulls through 7000 rpm 135 on the seat 340 over the nose

318’s are kinda their own special animal that a number of people have “been there, done that” on what the low hanging fruit would be. I personally would put exhaust manifolds down the list some. This just comes from my personal experience running 340 manifolds. Not the same animal, but under...

Honestly, it’s just a number. In a well sorted car 500 hp will easily get you into roll bar territory. Not sure of your end goal.

According to a calculator 434 hp at the rear tire, but that seems a bit high to me.

The Eagle is fine for what it’s intended use is, but it is pretty easy to make enough power to get it out of its comfort zone. Also it is such a catastrophic event when they break.
