Love the look of cragers up front with the black steels.

Anyone using a Holley Street Dominator single plain intake...it has the smaller 318 size ports also....Thinking of using it .... Using a holley performer intake now and wondering if the car will pick up with the this low profile single plain intake. stock 1968 318 .225 @ 50 cam..... .453 lift...

A 750 Proform will work great and is one of the cheapest carbs on that dyno chart and was ahead of the game up to 3400 rpm...The bigger the carb the more power you can make but where in the power band is important to the kind of driving of the vehicle and whats most important to the owner. I...

I ordered a brand new 2000 Dakota with a 4.7 and 3.91 gears. Drag raced it for three years strait and sold it with 43 thousand miles on it. Ran low 15 teens with drag radials.I changed the oil all the time and never had a problem. I have heard of problems with them though. Last new vehicle i...

:happy1:....................All engines make power -- but how you use the power you have --- is everything. Many cars with less powerful engines are beating cars with more powerful engines. The power to the rear tires and the weight of the car is all that matters ----outside of traction.

A buddy of mine runs a 318 in his scamp that has run a best of 10.82 @ 123. Numbers matching block-crank-rods....cast crank.11.8 compression. 5000 grand convertor with trans brake. 2850 weight without driver. Victor intake ported by Hughes. .557 purple shaft solid. 308 casting heads---ported...

Thanks for the info fishy68......

I just finished building my 904 in my 67 Cuda. I worked Saturday 10 to 12 midnight. Sunday 10 to 10. Monday 8 to 3. The 904 works really good .....but will be taking it back out for a couple of reasons. I want to tighten up the clutch packs a little more. I set the rear...

Band adjustment......1 1/2 turns backed off on bolt adjuster. Holding 10 inch pounds on adjuster bolt bolt -- tightened or finger tight-- then tighten lock nut,--Front band **kick down band. Out side case--drivers side Low gear +++ reverse band. 2 turns loose after tight. Inside case under...

It's the power valve. The carb is your whole problem. Run 71/81 jets with the rear power valve blocked off. timing at 38 total.......unhook your vacuum advance. If you have to turn the idle screws out more then a turn and a half then the idle circuit is to lean------a common problem with a...

Sounds like the perfect set up. If it stalled at 4000 grand before it will stall at a higher rpm now. The cam is a high rpm runner....I don't really see any problems. I think it all depends on how good the porting was....408's need air.

400...........It's the big block with a reputation ---worse then the 318. No respect lol........I think they are one of the best engines ever made. Strongest block....largest bore....whats not to like. I can't wait to start mine up when it's done. 5000 grand convertor/.557 cam/victor...

LOL.....I just read the rest of this post. Just trying to help ya...all is cool....or hot ...i mean....lol I think what IQ52 posted is very interesting.... I would love to see more information on the subject of aluminum vrs steel and the way heat works in a engine using different materials...

RustyRatRod, Compression is heat. You can run aluminum heads at a higher compression ratio and have the same -heat in the cylinder -as a lower compression steel headed engine because steel retains heat more then aluminum. The compression ratio is what it is. How much...

I am liking the results.....small cam for that range of power ...great job. The heads are working for ya........:burnout: ********** 340 BURNOUT *********
