    CHAMPION PLUG HEAT RANGES

    If I remember correctly, Champion plugs with a "C" on the end (i.e.: N-10YC - more search options) were an upgrade from the originals and had a copper core, or something like that.

    Still trying to figure out what AAWJ means on engine block.

    May be related but I read somewhere that cranks 360 cranks with CFD cast into them were stronger than the ones with AAWJ and that CFD represented a GM foundry!

    CHAMPION PLUG HEAT RANGES

    As mentioned about Champion plugs, lower # = lower heat range. Some other brands follow that pattern while others are lower # = higher heat range. Gotta check your brand. FWIW N9Y were originally for high compression 340s and N10Y were for 426 Hemis. (I believe Champion 61 & lower were...

    Still trying to figure out what AAWJ means on engine block.

    It may be code for the foundry that cast it. Certain 360 cranks & heads have that cast into them also.

    Hone grit for moly rings

    Just in case.....it's also a good idea to hone with deck plates to simulate any bore distortion that the head bolts may cause when assembled. Some people go so far as to use the same head gasket that goes into final assembly as well as bolt on a head or deck plate on the other side and...

    Vacuum Secondary Conversion

    Agreed! I've gotten at least a tenth better performance going from a 3310 750 vacuum secondary to a 4779 double pumper after spending time tuning both on the same combo.

    Intake Manifold Gasket Recommendations

    Regardless of brand, many people leave out the front & rear end gaskets and just use silicone. Some end gaskets squeeze out and others are too thick or hard and don't let the intake sit low enough. Make sure the intake lines up properly with the side gaskets in place. Depending on any other...

    How much power will a stock 904 handle

    It depends. One has to determine what .15 seconds in the 1/4 is worth - what it takes to achieve it and what it actually costs in time and money. A lot of the "worth" depends on the rules you race under. The more restrictive the rules are, the more difficult it is to make "legal" changes for a...

    How much power will a stock 904 handle

    The best info I've heard was from testing Chrysler did between a 727 and 904 in the '70's. With both transmissions and their respective converters built to the same specs and the vehicle weight adjusted for the different transmission weights, the 904 was about .15 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile...

    How much power will a stock 904 handle

    OEM cars are usually built with compromises leaning towards "street manners", not meant to be "beat on" and with "comfortable" shifts. But there are different "duty" levels of transmissions. (i.e.: 904, 998, 999) I've always heard that heat is the most common cause of transmission failures...

    [Found!] shifter bracket

    Brand of shifter would be a start but even they could vary between models of shifter. Obviously you need one for a 904 but both you and the seller has to know if a particular bracket is for a 904 or a different brand of transmission. I believe Hurst is under the Holley banner and Summit...

    SBM oil filter adapter questions ???

    I believe the originals took a socket to remove. I don't recall the size off-hand but it was a pain because there wasn't much For the socket to grab on to. The internal 3/8" drive was a welcome change.

    converter?

    340 cast crank engines were externally balanced also. But I don't know the size or weights of the weights used. A 340 cast crank definitely had less external weight on the converter and the balancer than a 360, so they will not interchange. I believe 340's went to cast cranks some time during...

    Oil Pick up tube

    Looks like a Milodon small block. But you'll have to determine the part # based on the sump depth of the pan being used. If the pan is not Milodon, you'll have to do some careful measuring as they have 5 qt. (OEM), 7 qt. & 8 qt. pans with center (front) sumps & check internal clearances. At...

    Rear shackle hanger bushing question

    You can also consider Prothane 4-801-BL for 7/8" applications. They are made out of polyurethane, firmer and more durable than plain Chinese rubber. Summit has 1" also. For Moog, confirm the quantity you get. It seems like some listings aren't clear on that.

    I wouldn't change the shackle orientation. If ever needed, I believe it's possible to slide the shackle out without removing the frame mounted hanger. Front hanger nut is on the inside also. Frame gets in the way with the nut facing out. I also recall seeing SS spring numbers stamped on the...

    Broken Transmission

    I've had crank bolts leave impressions through paint on the converter but no dents in the converter unless I had a major driveline breakage. Clearance is tight. However, that doesn't look like an OEM crank bolt and they definitely don't come with washers.
