    Lower Ball Joint Boot?

    I'm having a problem with the dust boot on the driver side lower ball joint. I went to torque everything down before getting ready to put the front end on the ground and noticed that the edge on the dust boot contacts this peg on my LCA. It seems to be a metal ring inside the rubber boot, if it...

    8.8 Rear Axle, Couple Solutions

    Ok so I finally managed to get all the brackets and junk off my axle tubes. Cut the drivers side today with my chop saw and even though I measured it a gazillion times I still cut it a little short. Not by much, but shorter than I wanted to. It came out to around 3/16 too short, I'm guessing...

    Isky Rocker Problem

    Having a problem with a set of Isky ductile rockers on a 383. I've got them on but they're giving me a real hard time lining up with the valve stems. It looks like the hold downs are offsetting the rockers and I'm not entirely sure if the springs even belong here. They look like they're trying...

    Did I just ruin my crank?

    Just put this together last night, sprayed the crank down with brake cleaner and let dry to ensure it was clean. Sprayed the cap and cleaned every bearing. Applied assembly lube. This morning I took the caps off so I could check them and do a final torque after rotating the engine a few times to...

    Piston Rings help!

    Seeing as I'm still learning I don't know the finer points of engine building, can the top and second rings in a 383 be flipped around? Filing the rings and went over on one of my top rings to .019 instead of .017, could I just take them all out to .021 then file down what I was going to use for...

    Question about a dampener I found

    Found this dampener on ebay for real cheap so I snagged it, was advertised as a 383/400/440 balancer but that's all I've got. It has a 7 1/4in diameter, was painted hemi orange and has #1604-2 stamped into it. Any info is helpful, has 3 points where it was drilled, around the outside and they...

    SCAT balanced rotating assemblies

    How good are the pre-balanced rotating assemblies from SCAT? It's only $180 more for the balanced assembly than the unbalanced one for my 408 and I'm debating that since having it balance wouldn't be too far off from that anyway, plus I can start getting my short block together as soon as it...
