I didn't know that about the 72 tail lights not being reproduced! Hmm, yeah I was considering adding LEDs inside my factory taillights but never considered direct swapping in the challenger taillights.

This is the strangest mod I've ever seen. To each their own I guess. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/413202788097297/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Af56af33b-9fdd-4e2a-ae0e-3c7adb93726e

@junkyardhero how many engines have you built man? I can totally see how this becomes addicting now lol

Maybe this is a dumb question but when selecting a set of lifters to run with a new cam, is there a "best" approach? Seems like the quality of HFT aftermarket lifters has taken a nosedive so I'm sort of leaning toward the combo of Howards streetforce 2 with lifters. Assuming those work with my...

Sounds good fellas, appreciate the input. Ill make the ask for sure. We are communicating - plan was simply to find out what bore is required before ordering the pistons. Then calculate piston selection, aftermarket head selection to meet the compression goals as affordable as I can go. Seems...

No decking unless it comes up later. Didnt talk about it

Always clutch Junkyard. Thank you

Bit the bullet and decided to get my crank magnafluxed and journals ground 10 over along with the bore and hone work on the block. Just dropped everything off at the machine shop. He said if I had just tossed the pistons back in with new rings they'd have smacked against the lip on the cylinder...

Alright im gonna spring for the new cam. Dont wanna waste all this effort on an outdated profile

Ahh, I probably just misread what you were saying in your post, just as a comparison to the 528 you prefer the 484? Im open to suggestions and still eyeing the howards street force 2 cam. Obviously, the cheapest one considering I have the 484 already is to just toss it back in. But since I'm...

also worked on the engine bay cleaning today. Fresh F3 started covering things nicely til I ran out. happy with the results so far. Not a show car just a happy driver thats not ashamed to pop the hood! Engine block goes to get bore and honed 0.020 over next week. Getting excited to start...

Rear will be a 3:73 posi from an explorer 8.8. 727 but the converter is a little stock looking dark blue one came with it. May need a new one anyway Manual disc brakes all around (13” front, havent bought the rears yet. Airgap intake 750 holley carb on top Headman headers. Honestly I wouldnt...

So after reading this… why wouldnt I just keep my .484 cam? Its a bit radical but not as much as the .528

Been searching but not sure what thread / cam youre mentioning. Also I noticed a bit of build data on magnums but none on an LA

Hydraulic lifters having issues and the quality gone down. all hearsay but I also like supporting the smaller up-and-comer type manufacturers
