I have a 1973 360 with Trick Flow 190 power port heads going in a 1969 Barracuda. I found some Hooker competition headers used but they won't fully bolt flush to the driver's side head because the #1 tube is against the head. I can either grind the head (don't want to do this), put a big dent...

Thanks. I'll order that part.

In my '69 Barracuda vert I am replacing both frame rails. In between the frame rail and the rear valence there appears to be a panel of some kind that is mostly rusted out and I'll need to replace. Not sure what it is called. Looks like the rear of the frame rail is welded to it. Can someone...

I bought a Chrysler small block serpentine conversion with bracketing for a GM 1 wire alternator from CVF. I bought the alternator from summit racing. It is a 12 SI. Anyway, the alternator does not clear the head. The bearing extends about 1/4" too far back preventing the alternator to swing...

Will do.

Wow! Thank you so much. Will order the Edelbrock 7276 gaskets! Thanks, Brian

There were no pins in the china wall.

I am building a 408 stroker and have a 1973 360 block with Trick flow 190 heads and a trick flow track heat intake. It seems like the intake is too far from the heads. When I tighten it down, it appears to bend or angle the intake slightly to get it to bolt up tight. I'm guessing it would...

In part, yes, but my understanding is that the part circled above should not have a gap between the mounting neck and the block, but should be flush as well.

OK. I removed the washer from the main bolt and when the oil pump is flush with the main cap where it is bolted, the part that goes down into the cap where the oil pump drive is does not come in flush contact. It is hard to explain so I hope the picture helps. It doesn't need to be ground as...

Very nice video. Thanks for posting.

I was wondering what I need for an oil pump for my 408 stroker. The HV one I have will not clear the main stud bolts. Wondering what I am looking for. Also, the pickup tube attaches to one of the main bolts. Do I need a stud kit for that, or can it be placed under the bolt (between the bolt...

Sounds good. Now my biggest concern will be cleaning it properly without taking it back to the machine shop. I'll take time to cover everything close to the area I am working and vacuum and/or wash it when done.

Thats the bottom of the bore. No issues with the pan rail.

Sounds good. I'll be taking it apart and make take the dremel to it. Any idea how much clearance is good? I was thinking more than .10. I don't want to find out the hard way...
