I have a carburetor guy who all he does all day is rebuild and set up carbs, from singles to six packs etc so Im gonna have him tune it, I am not that good with performance tuning. I understand the crankshaft bit and may just take the plunge and get a forged bottom end. The car wont be a...
It is a full kit from Dyer Blowers Mirada and it includes the blower, intake, pulleys, belt, basically a whole supercharger ready to go kit without carbs. The size would be a 671, which I still have no idea what that really means besides size.
They said the low boost was due to the fact the...
Ah the infamous bottom end. I am curious though, was his motor also stock and pushing 500hp? I have talked to the supercharger dealer and they insist I can only push 5psi or so, but I feel like with how low the compression is on these magnums I could push more.
jbc426 I am not against removing the grill and fender wells to get the cooling I need if that would let me boost harder lol. I would love to have this thing pushing 15-20psi even if it means overdriving it with a smaller pulley later on. Superchargers are just cool to me with how mechanical they...
Yeah I was reading about that Pascamp, does anyone know of a set of better flowing aftermarket heads with both bolt patterns, or a set of heads with LA bolt style and magnum head gasket fitment? I am aware of a set of stock style magnum heads with both patterns drilled out, but I would rather...
Thanks for the vote of confidence T56Max, I am debating just getting the whole forged rotating assembly and cranking the boost til the factory heads can't support it anymore. The stock setup was just going to be a proof of confidence as I build my suspension and drivetrain. We will see what the...
Hey guys, I have a 1966 Dodge Dart and I have a brand new 5.9L magnum engine out of my girlfriends wrecked 1997 Ram 2500(Long Story). Basically what I am wondering is 1. Will this engine take a low boost roots supercharger given its low factory compression (5-10psi for boost) and survive 2...
Alright so this is a shot in the dark in the middle of a blizzard during an earthquake, but if anyone knows where I could find a set of used or new fiberglass fenders, or some not rusty steel ones, I would be extremely interested in purchasing them. The current ones on my car have through rust...
Depends how hard your car hooks, I've seen people from the city with bubbles(real baseball sized bubbles) from potholes in the sidewall on low profiles until all the tread is gone. I personally had to swerve and hit a pothole on the interstate and ended up with a bubble in the tread surface so...
Alright so after a little more poking around it seems for the most part Doug's D453 headers drop in on most manual steering, automatic cars from 64-66 can anyone confirm? And damn those hookers look tight and right, how is it making clearance for the fender well exits?
I will, I will probably run it myself if it's gonna be such a challenge. Have the skills and would rather buy the tools rather than pay someone to do a "meh" job
Thanks for the replies guys, looks like I'll be buying a set of fenderwells for the sake of space in my engine bay. That being said, how does one route an exhaust to fender wells, do they meet up under the sub frame or do you run it under the floorboards essentially?
