a competent machine shop shouldn't have a problem rebuilding the arms. i'd 100% do the moog offset upper bushings. buy good ball joints and lower control arm bushings and tie-rods if needed. you're in this far, i'd check the pitman and idler arm as well. swaybar wise, the stock ones are rare...

Willy how dare you!

tough call. depends on how deep you're into the 360 for and if you can at least break even on it and score out the 408. even if you're a little more dough in, the 408 is worth it and the instant gratification/speed running the project timeline might justify the additional cash outlay.

Way to early good morning!

i'd order up a set from cometic. they're not cheap, but it beats the pants off doing that job three more times

Saweet car!! Welcome from Western Canada! That is one of the best wheelstand pics I have seen :)

Does that rmvb have low band apply? What are the clearances in both drums? How many clutches in each drum?

The torque spec is a essentially a measure of how much a bolt is being stretched as it is tightened. There is a particular amount which is ideal, and all other amounts which are not. The torque spec for a bolt therefore has nothing to do with what the bolt is holding and everything to do with...

Probably you have two V-belts for the A/C and and alternator and one V-belt for P/S. So three grooves.

He said KH brakes, so definitely small upper ball joint.

Do you have disc brakes on the front? If so, that means that you probably have conversion UCA with large ball joints. Check to see if you have large or small ball joints. Going this far it would be wise to check/replace UCA bushings. Also check/replace LCA bushings, lower ball joint, strut...

That's an AWESOME fine. Let us know if you're considering a sell or trade?

By rebuild the arms, I assume you mean new bushings and ball joints. You can definitely have a local shop do that, or do it yourself if you have the tools (or don't but are down to get creative). You will need small ball joints. You also might consider the moog offset upper control arm bushings...

I'm VERY interested in first test run of your build. So much similarities to my efforts. I will certainly post any results from my 451 hit. I'm hoping for 9.90s. But I'm guessing 10.20s. I'm NEVER as fast as I hoped.

I'm sure im not the only one whose run across a really good deal on a motor while building a motor, but I am now stuck overthinking things. Found a killer deal on a 408 stroker, freshly rebuilt. The remainder of my current build will cost the same, but will only yield me a refreshed 360 stock...

My first barn find! It’s a 273 Auto Commando Car.

Hey I have a 1966 Barracuda. I’m working on being more road worthy. I have some questions about front suspension. My upper control arms need to be replaced or rebuild, what are my options? Can I just buy the parts and have my local machine shop rebuild them? I did the Kelsey Haines brake upgrade...

Here’s a meme I made of my boy Topaz.

I used some cheap kits in the mid 90s. I never had an y problems with them. Only in old timers vehicles or poor ppl that I knew didn’t have the money. Those times I barely made a few dollars to buy groceries. But I felt better for helping the less fortunate.

Local guy has a solid 67 fastback with a 318 4 speed for under 15k. Imo a reasonable price in these here parts.

I do. I don't think that I paid close enough attention to what the OP was saying

Some ignorance about idle timing on this thread. 25* with a mild cam. The engine in question has well over 200* @ 050 duration on the intake. It has 9.3:1 CR. Consider this engine: 10.75:1 CR. 197* @ 050 intake duration. Note that, all else being equal, a higher CR reduces the amount of idle...

I have not been pumping the gas pedal at all. It takes 1 pump and it starts right up, since day 1, any day, any weather/temperature. I gave it 1 pump this morning and that was it, even after multiple attempts to start. Came back in the afternoon, I gave a small pump at the carb to make sure it...

For starters I could go 4 sizes smaller fusible link IF the 12 gauge output wire is the right size. I will call O'reillys & see if they can full field an alt for max capacity amperage. I am running a large cable from battery to the main of/off switch "in" terminal & the other "out" terminal with...

more than most, less than a lot of others. it's not about what i like. it's about what is correct for the application, what fits the budget, the overall build plan and availability. i like light, forged pistons with modern, thin ring packs. but that might not be what's on the menu, so some...

I farted.

exactly! you can buy at least 10 7.25's for the price of a 8.75 and then we get to have the discussion about the difference in power between a 2.45 and a 2.76 the next time. i see this as a win-win
