    7875 + 5.9 + E85 + Megasquirt

    The bung is at the top of the pan in the front, well above the oil level. This is a rear sump pan also so under WOT conditions the oil should be mostly in the back and in the sump, far away from this bung. I still need to test some more but so far it seems to be working. Fingers crossed.

    7875 + 5.9 + E85 + Megasquirt

    It evacuates pressure to the catch can directly from the oil pan in this case. The filter at the top of the can allows the gases to escape while the catch can collects oil vapor.

    RMS rear 4 link, not symmetrical?

    What Denny says. This was a head scratcher for me also when I built my triangulated 4 link. My passenger side was lower but after I got the front squared with the t-bars it leveled out. But I have to say that yours looks a little extreme with the coilover jacked up that far and you’re still not...

    71 Duster 360 turbo build

    Is this Megasquirt? It’s not the rev limiter or AFR safety system kicking in at 6k?

    Is it ok to copy a W5 head and make it better or are we just mad at Speedmaster

    I salivate over that Ritter block. Really nice piece but what’s wrong with it that it needs competition in what is probably a really tiny market place for high HP capable SBM blocks? The cost?

    71 Duster 360 turbo build

    What are the symptoms of valve float? Does it happen under any amount of boost or only when you get up into the higher PSIs? Is this with the exhaust wide open? I noticed in my back pressure tests that my RPM was hitting a 5800-5900 ceiling when running through the muffler.

    Thinking of moving to Florida in the next year

    They did and with the collaboration of the good citizens of Florida and it’s been absolutely absurd! And we are all paying for it now.

    Thinking of moving to Florida in the next year

    That program is a bit of a mess even if well intentioned. We had Citizens, the state subsidized plan and about the only one left. The “depopulation” plan blindly moved us to a new carrier without any prior notice at a 20% increase in premium, on top of the 33% increase we’ve been seeing just...

    Thinking of moving to Florida in the next year

    Surf Zillow and research pricing in different areas based on your housing criteria. I’m in S. Florida and housing is crazy expensive but I’ve also looked around the state in lots of other areas and haven’t found any real bargains. Property taxes are high and climbing and it seems more and more...

    speedmaster stuff pulled from Summit racing shelves

    I’m intrigued to see how this plays out. The name suddenly appearing on this VB just doesn’t accidentally happen. The drawing would have to be updated before sent to the CNC or someone took an existing VB plate and machined the name in to it. Something seems off about this story but the reality...
