Hey Louis, I have a fitting supplier here in the UK that i get most of my stuff from, but I have used Sweet Performance in Placentia CA for some of the more unusual adapters etc. I'm pretty sure I got them in under a week so I would think they'd get to you one heck of a lot quicker!

Block casting numbers alone will not give you a definitive year. I have ablock which is 68-72. The water pumps from '68-'70 and '71 on differ according to outlet location and in this case material. If you have a stock water pump on there now, which side is the outlet? And is it iron or aluminum?

You're right, these heads were originally marketed as RHS/Indy iron heads but for reasons unknown (to me at least) RHS no longer sell them. They're still available through Indy though.

530???

That is very good to hear. I have a fabricated aluminum pan from Charlie's Oil Pans and its not designed to accept gaskets. So I did exactly as above. Fingers crossed it works on first fire-up as the bolts are a PITA to get to (they're inside the pan).

If you can bear to spring a little more, take a look at 'blem' balancers from ATI. I picked up an ATI Super Damper direct from ATI for $200. They sell some of them on ebay so I just messaged them about another piece, asking for a couple of different part no.s. They tracked one down in under a...

My cast 4" Scat crank with I-beams and Icon flat tops balanced internally with no heavy metal. This is a 318/390 so maybe that swung it for me.

Okay, you're overly sceptical.

No, I got what he was saying :toothy8:. I was just pointing out that the terminology itself was wrong. Nothing wrong with the modification, particularly if you're running a carb a little on the small side.

I'm going to sound like a pompous *** here, but milling the divider does not make it a single plane. The name dual plane comes from the over n under runner arrangement not the centre divider.

Honestly, its not a big deal. I retro fitted Hughes Engines lifters into a '68ish block last year. The retro fit lifters use a link bar between pairs of lifters, rather than a spider plate in the valley to prevent the lifters from rotating. Although the link bars are shaped to clear the bumps in...

Not exactly in your backyard but there's the Mopar Euronats at Santa Pod 26th-28th July. It's grown to be a pretty big deal over the years. Racing pretty much non-stop too.

Brian (IMM Engines) uses the 26918 set-up on his Indy iron heads I think. If anyone knows, it would be him.

I believe the Comp 26918s to be the most commonly used beehives with cams around that size.

I had been toying with the idea of picking up a Victor 340 to try against my RPM intake when my 390 stroker goes on the dyno. We don't exactly trip over them all the time here in the UK and I have the opportunity now to buy an Indy 360-3R rectangle port intake from a racer I know. Its only 20...
