Cylinder head discussion 340 with stock above deck pistons

Pittsburgh, Didn't we all run that junk back in the 70's when we didn't know any better, and we broke a lot of parts too. Just like torque converters have come a long way since then, so has clutch technology. I haven't broken a part in my 4spd street Dart in at least 10 years and probably longer and it leaves with the wheels up more often than not, nowhere near as high or as quick as your car, but mine is a streetcar on 9 inch slicks, not a full on race car on 14 inch slicks.

Break it, fix it, repeat. I had a Lakewood bellhousing, aftermarket clutch and pressure plate, 3 inch custom made driveshaft, Lakewood ujoints, 2 sets of gears after breaking every weak link possible. Fought pinion angle issues before we ever knew to measure it. Good old Direct Connection failed to notify us that installing super stock springs threw your pinion up 8-10 degrees. That was a fun learning experience. This guys feelings are a little soft so I’ll let you guys tell him how to fix his car. Peace out.
