That and his 32 miles to the gallon….

There are several 4 speed transmissions that all have the 1:1 final drive gear. One of them has the low first gear if memory serves. The ratios are on line. What is it your looking to get from the swap? I’d speak with Dan Brewer myself. Actually, I have and will again. Anytime I have called...

I have found that a 3.21/3.23 or better, a 3.55 is best for a street strip effort ratio with the low first gear. Any rear end ratio higher will (IMO) need a taller than normal street tire to help offset what becomes an extreme first gear ratio. Lower than 3.21/3.23, the cars final drive gearing...

FACTS! Even turbo cars that can run 9’a and 8’s are not out and about as everyday cars. It’s mostly just not practical. While I know a few people that run around with insane power, they don’t use it a lot. (The cars power)

Ditto Ditto. Enough lift to take advantage of the heads flow capability. Or at least try. That made me wonder how many people are going to try to go for that as well and the. How many machinists will have to explain it all to them. That was exactly what I was thinking. What the heck is...

If you’re going to run exhaust manifolds, bring your own exhaust piping. Dyno shops are not really catering to engines with exhaust manifolds. “Loose Power?” I’d call it stifle power. Potato, Patato…

Excellent Excellent

LMAO! That was freakin funny.

Not true, off set one way for the proper cylinders and then the other way for the other two.

Read below MoPar used to sell rotating assembly parts to have their engine restroked to fit into the old class racing rule of a max of 355ci. In my particular case, I needed bearing spacers for the small journal (340 sized) crank into the large journal (360) block. The 360 was bored .030 for...

I’m not putting you against anyone or anything. Possibly true, no doubt

Because new people are getting into it. Most watch videos even before the thought of a book enters their head. LMAO! Who knows!!! However, when was the last time your read on this forum someone using offset dowels?

I walk through the pages of Summit Racing would yield the results needed to know. It doesn’t really matter at this point. While off setting the cylinder head is a cool trick to do, it’s not “The Average Guy” move. It just depends on what you want to do yourself needed or not.

PM coming

Using little tricks I see. Pot calling the kettle black I think and see. How are yours better or worse than the videos? Cost aside, there are a lot of things to do that make the difference. Not many people employ them, myself included. A standard type but yet quality rebuild, sprinkle...
