I guess I hadn't considered the actual length requirements because I don't have access to the parts. I can maybe look into that part of it. The ratios are 1.6 intake and 1.7 exhaust but that's just relative to the geometry of the specific rocker, not linear distances. Didn't want to bother...

This is a "what if" kind of question. I'm sure it isn't the best way to do it but I'm curious if it could be a way. I've happened upon a set of Jessel rockers that came off a set of SBC All Pro heads that have a decent asking price. The information I can find and from the seller indicate that...

Your pic didn't show up for me, but I think that is a Ford block in the video and the spider is an aftermarket piece from Comp cams. Process should be pretty much the same for a older Mopar block using the later factory parts though. But I doubt it is a straight drop in. You would need to...

Is everything there on the hardware to just bolt it all onto a rear end and have a functional system? If not, what is missing? Pic doesn't show much detail on what all is there for springs, bolts, clips, etc. I have an extra rear that has axles but nothing for backing plates and hubs that I'd...

I’ve got a set from ProMaxx. They are cast overseas but all the machining is done here in the states. Nice casting and good machining. They have an as cast and a larger CNC’d port available. Not quite as much flow as the TrickFlow but better than the speed master versions or Edelbrock. Priced...

If the filters aren’t restricting, that velocity stack style should make a little more hp than conventional design. Engine Masters tested a bunch of filters and did see a difference. No direct experience with that one though.

Probably not what you want to hear but I think I’d go with a TKX kit over the Passon 5spd. Too many horror stories about delivery and popping out of gear for something that costs that much, in my opinion. The 833 od kit doesnt trip my trigger much either. I’d do a standard four speed with a Gear...

Take these numbers given as examples with a grain of salt. The come from different measuring devices with probably questionable calibration (no offense intended). You need a proper size micrometer (not caliper) that discerns down to 0.0001" to accurately determine if your crank is in spec. A...

Unless you just want to have the W2's to say you have them, I'd re-use the Edelbrock heads and have them worked over and maybe taken out to a 2.05 or 2.08 valve. The W2 have more potential but they need to be ported as well to take advantage of it. The bespoke rockers/intake/header flange all...

Like a lot of the stuff in our tool boxes, when you need one, you need one. My dad had one of these nut busters that I remember using on a 39 Pontiac four door we were hot-rodding 35+ years ago. I thought I got it when we cleaned out the house after he passed and Mom moved. I guess it fell...

Bearing spacer shims take the 360 bearing bore down to 340 size. Not real common but they are out there.

Yes I have. I'm hoping to get some real-world, been there done that feedback from here. So far I haven't found any substantial reviews of the cheaper hydraulic? type load cells in my searching.

Anyone use and have a recommendation for a more affordable valve spring tester? The "good" commercial ones a shop would use are near $1000 new and used versions about half that. I'd be a lot happier around $100-$200 because I'm only using it for my infrequent needs. I have a mill, drill...

That should be a nice cruiser. I’m interested in what slave you use and how you mount it. Take and post some pics when you get there if you don’t mind.

Looks pretty nice. You'll appreciate the weight after 100 rounds or more in an afternoon. I know I tend to get a little flinchy after 50 shots or so with my Peerless field gun, even with the lighter 1oz loads.

These appear to have the threaded spacer welded to the top of a standard head bolt. I can think of two or three ways to accomplish that with a standard Mopar head bolt that would have minimal effect on the strength of the bolt.

If you are going through the cost and effort to change the heads, why would you not put in a new cam that can actually take advantage of the potential increase in flow? Seems like the definition of a half measure. Even with the lower compression of the 72 piston, I would think that the bigger...

DIY rotary engine….

My '71 motor which is standard bore and hasn't been decked as far as I can tell had the pistons at .023"-0.34" above deck, so I think you recall correctly. Some of that variation is in the factory machining of the pistons, rods, and block as well as the regound crank it has. I was planning on...

Cone or clutch type Sure-Grip?

Out of curiosity, are your above deck measurements in line with the pin, or worst case tilt at top or bottom of the piston? There isn’t a huge difference, especially on fresh bores but I think I saw a few thou on my worn bores

The '71 340 in my car has been rebuilt but is still standard bore (with a little wear) and I assume standard deck height. I found my pistons are above deck .025-.033" but pretty consistent on each bank. I wanted to put a set of small chamber aluminum heads on but going from J-heads to aluminum...

I don’t know. I strongly feel there should be some kind of permitting process. I’ve seen plenty that had no business being in any kind of tight clothing.

The bushings are bronze, which is a surprisingly tough and strong metal equal to or exceeding cast iron in some properties. So it's not like you are simply boring a bigger hole and thinning the walls out weakening the system. The bushing has inherent strength as well. As mentioned using...

I replied in your other thread but I would strongly suggest repairing that cap if possible or you will need to line bore and hone, I think. Cap could be welded or maybe a timesert thread insert would work. Might be able overbore the hole and fit a machined bushing

I can’t help with sourcing the cap but if you do the block will need to be lined bored and honed with the new cap. Not cheap. You be miles ahead if you can find someone to repair your original cap without warping, if possible. Good luck. Edit. If you do replace it, a 318 cap will work. Pretty...

I found several near me by Googling "Chrome shop, Wisconsin". The Chrome Shop in Manasha, WI seems to get solid ratings. I've never used any of them but they are out there if you search.

I replaced the bolts and steel gasket with factory parts myself. They quoted $275 to do it so I said no, just sell me the parts. I think the gasket and two bolts came to $60 :eek: but I took them anyway. One bolt sheared but I got it out with some heat. Took ten minutes. They also quoted the...

I've got a 2020 Ram with 5.7 with 62k and took it in last year at 59k for an exhaust leak. I knew there was a leak in front of the muffler but thought it was also one at the driver side manifold. My nephew just had his gaskets replaced so I was nervous about it. They claimed that the...

Small top I think. Haven't looked at it in a while but I'd say it is smaller in volume than the one in this thread before he cut it. Edit... I may have misspoke. Could be a TR5. I think this is a pic of it before I picked it up but its stashed in the attic at the moment.
