You all validated what I suspected. I will sleep better having made the investment to go through these heads completely. Others that believe the OOTB viability of these heads, YMMV.. Agree with the surface finish comment too Moper, the .003 true up cut we made first was primarily to remove this...

That plug is way beyond a couple jet sizes rich. The power valve tipping in early combined with jetting maybe, but it even looks richer than that and so does your mileage. AFs in the 12s generally look black but not sooted Moper is right, your power output on the dyno sheets are way down for...

..but their corporate name couldn't be more unfortunate at the moment

I am hoping a couple of the experts can share their opinions, findings, and experiences with Edelbrock heads. I am in disagreement with one of the volume sellers of the LA Performer RPM heads over what are acceptable "out of the box tolerances" for these and his immediate response was if you...

Looking good here - thanks to Jay and nice story layout by webmaster http://isispower.com/isis-power/1972-demon-wired-with-isis-power/

We are closing in on getting our project completed - 6 years roughly from buying the donor Here it is lately (and you can go back in the thread to see how it looked back when) http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=93184&page=3

No motor plate, this is pretty straightforward swap. See: http://www.engine-swaps.com/Pages/ArticlePages/GoBig.html Schumacher mounts are simplest way to go to replace the S6 with a B and are fully sorted out for clearance. Manifolds work but are chokers - I would seriously consider his...

There are no drop in hydraulic roller setups for 340 LA, if for no other reason than there is no standard pushrod length for any of the aftermarket lifter options. A mechanical roller doesn't have the height issue with a simple slug and roller tip. Hughes makes (sells) hydraulic roller lifters...

Like most of the construction materials and consumables in an automobile, wiring has to meet standards and specs. Go with what the OEMs use. GPT is basic PVC auto wire. Cross-linked (GXL, SXL [hi temp]) insulation is best and a very small price premium over GPT. TXL is nice but not a...

We got StreetLynx early in its availability, and as we know there are a lot of variables among A-bodies (all Mopar bodies) through the years, ie Demons are shortys. I understand the RMS caution about trying it, Bill R is pretty conservative. We went with 8.75 because our power output doesn't...

Interesting in every Wilwood package there is a disclaimer about working on braking systems, they are racing brakes (not street?), hire a professional mechanic, etc. Kind of insulting to sell an OE replacement kit, then include these disclaimers? Anyway, there is generally a lot of fitting...

Glad that got resolved for you. btw, valve piston contact isnt necessarily visible. Interference in the thousandths is all it takes to bend a valve enough so it wont seal properly ever again. Depending on the dynamics of the valvetrain at 7000, is the spring keeping up, is there flutter (valve...

Lets see 696 RWHP = ~ 900 Flywheel BHP. We know torque = hp at 5252 rpm, so lets say the power shift at 5000 was 85% of total engine output, thats roughly 780 ft lbs through the 833.. 23 splines are very tough, and work behind some very strong big inch wedges. BTW, looks like the 23 spline...
