That is a workaround, not a solution From the pictures it looked like the two mounts were different sizes, is that true ? And when they are installed, is the locating nub on the top or bottom?

So what, we just gave up?

Looks like the one biscuit is twice as big as the other...truck biscuit? Swapping that for a thinner (car mount) will drop it a little

Could it be whoever bolted the biscuits to the mount put them on upside down? A trained eye would spot that in a picture quite fast

In that case, my advice stands

Thats a good point though, @Veryfastdart do you have the pre 73 biscuits or the 73 and up spools? (I approached this thread with biscuits in mind)

Did you use the right biscuits ? They have a few different thicknesses The holes the biscuits sit in are slotted and some adjustment can be made by jacking up the engine just enough to take pressure off the biscuits and moving then towards the outside of the slots

Ah yes, now I catch your drift It's a forge I bought for my son, not sure if he'd like to play with aluminum But I get it now, thanks

I have no idea what we're talking about, but ok

Remind me again why I need them ?

Don't know if it is related, but this site has taken a serious dive since the last "update" The site is worse, and it seems we lost a ton of traffic because of it

And make sure you copy this guys body language

I think he meant me, post #7

And you are shifting out of second into third, correct ?

Are we talking stock tach, build into the dash, or are we talking aftermarket dash with aftermarket gauges ?

I can think of 20 good reasons, right of the bat

If I had a 360, I wouldn't spend the money on a smaller 340 iether Go with the bigger better block

I think the real question is "how does blueprint build a head that would replacing it with a trick flow, edelbrock or speed master be a downgrade"

No, you are right That engine is complete junk and will not run Text me your address and I'll come get it and scrap it for you

From what I understand, 90% of these heads will get bolted on in house So on paper, if something is out of spec, the assembly guy who caught it, can walk over the the QA guy who passed it, grab him by the ear and show him the mistake

Great point on the manifold clearance...and those taller rails could have saved PBR 330 dollars

Oh, here is a thought, can you cast the heads a little taller, so that short valve covers will clear the valve train? That would be a selling point

I know you allready mentioned it will be magnum based, but I would like to point out a valve cover with 10 bolts tends to leak less then one with 5 (while still allowing you to bolt up LA covers, should you want to)

Aren't all of them blind holes, encased in a gasket ? How could they weep?

if i read it correctly, it is a magnum block with LA timing cover and LA oil pan

It does sure look like the front bolt is not as far in as the next, the one by the freeze plug also seems a little taller

It seems to have a full cage, so it must be quicker then 9.00 seconds, right ?

One good backfire away from a total loss

Keep in mind you could use a drop base for the air cleaner to gain back some of the clearance you lost with a taller intake

I'm taking my boy this week to a place where he can forget his own knife (The place is owned by one of the guys who won a "forged in fire" episode) When I told my dad about it he told me his grandpa was a blacksmith, and that he himself was planning on taking those classes, but they dropped...
