What are you telling them you ********? I am doing bodywork now here and there when I care. Chassis is a roller with z06 discs up front and 13 inch viper rears. Suspension completely rebuilt with poly bushings and caltracs. Rockers need some metal replaced as does the lower firewall. Roof at the...

If you fill the block to the bottom of the water ports, it would probably be smart to get an oil cooler too if you drive it. It's my personal opinion that if one feels they need to do it at all, they should just buy an r block and forget about this thread. I mean after all, we're all confident...

Yes, that would be partially true. I am an automotive enthusiast. I have an open mind and a respect for anything fast. I've owned mopars for 20 years. But I also own chevys and fords as well. I like them all. I have no bias, I dont engage in cultism, ignorance, and I don't swing off anyone's...

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. NO IDEA. This thread is about mopar smallblocks and finding the limits of the same. Do you have anything to contribute?

LOL It's an awesome car. I see no incentive to sell it. Keep crackin' at it!

Noise might be proportionate to the amount of lash.

Dupli-Color Chrysler Red....

I agree. I love to see people do different things. I was also expecting a bit more out of all the work though. Very cool nonetheless as you can lift the valve quite a bit more. I used the magnum version with hughes magnum roller shaft rockers. I'm not running an incredible amount of lift or...

So it's kind of safe to say an A-body is likely able to get away with a good deal more than that if a big heavy dakota can do that....or even a POS Dakota for that matter. lol

That's one of my friends I've mentioned to you in the past Louis.:-D The other guy whose dyno sheets and engine I showed you that made like 850-900hp flywheel may chime in, but I think all he cares about at this point is food and taking care of his whizzer...joe's just a youngin. LOL These...

HA! It's a disease. I'm doing custom brakes now and all I have floating around in my head is bracket designs and calipers.

I agree totally. The comptard is likely picking something out of camquest and life just isnt that simple.

That's a good point! The a-1000 is loud. That's why I got the one in the cell. I'm going to be firing up soon so I'll let you know how it goes. Mine is on a controller though. I might not even need to take it over 30 percent LOL It's overkill for me. I have my fingers crossed that everything...

Awesome. very neat way of setting all three up. I've missed a lot I see. I'm currently occupied with making corvette z06 front brakes work on the POS. LOL I'll be poking my head in here and checking for updates. I'm very impressed with how this is turning out.

Louis, do you think there will be any cavitation in the pump setup? In case this was asked before, sorry. It looks cool!

HAHAHA That poor engine stand! Looks good Louis!

LOL Wow man, I must have been really busy!!!!! Holy crap! Looking good there louis! Looks like I'm just in time for the fireworks. hahaha And yeah, what's that orange car in the background? eh?

You can screw with it a little bit. I've screwed with initial timing by slightly moving the crank sensor and I've also messed with fuel pressure/injector sizes. I was able to do some positive things this way. Adjustments to fuel sync too with my scanner. Adjusments to IAT voltage, TPS Volts etc...

The Davis Unified HEI distributor is one kickass solid unit. Get a set of their wires along with it. Just as good. Awesome setup, and when you consider the fact it's a complete fully self contained ignition it's also cheaper than an MSD rig...and it's just as good. All you need is to hook up...

They are all over the place end to end and head to head in any given pair. It's definitely smart to CC them and match them.

there are no downfalls unless your motor is something geared more toward 6500+ rpm.

Great Builder. And VERY sharp guy with a lot of interesting ideas.

This is true. I have one that lasted 12 years now and while it looks like absolute crap, it still works. I bought a new tuff stuff replacment for my 408 jsut because I couldnt look at the old one anymore. But they are extremely reliable and will turn over a hefty engine with ease.

That's right! And there's always something cool about the "ugly" primered car kicking everyone's *** that you can't get with a paint job!:supz:

I would definitely be in.

I think the typical 408 rotating assembly is about 1600 USD. The geardrive I have actually heard nin operation. I do a lot of work on the side for other people's dodge trucks. It's a pleasant smooth mechanical whine and nowhere near the piercing shriek that the milodon has. It's a very nice...

Yeah I see a few things people can question, but nothing really detrimental. Good videos overall.

Yes, there is enough oil. You can even make a very small hole in the backplate and in one of the lifter galley plugs to make an oil sprayer if you wanted. But really the oil splashing up from the pan and drainback from the top of the engine is enough.

No, it's not true. Most have a hard enough time with mismatched and poorply set up valvetrain parts, geardrive aside from it. Granted there are indeed harmonics transferred from the crank no doubt. But there is no evidence to support any engine damage whatsoever that I've seen. Engine damage...

I say go for it. Nothing wrong with a start retard if you have a locked out dizzy and it's hard to start that way.
