    help Super Charger Small Block

    I agree, '67, technology has come so far over the past decade, and most of the old "norms", or make that, limitations, just don't apply anymore, though most of it still works. I'm building a couple turbo motors now, and, given the excellent materials; advances in cam profiles; outstanding...

    help Super Charger Small Block

    I agree with other posters here. Given the efficiency of today's blowers, and the ability to 'slow down' the blower to reduce heat while making good boost is the way to go. A 4-71 would be a good fit for a V-6; 6-71's for most small blocks; 8-10-71's for big inch race small block and big...

    8-71 alky blower on the street ?

    604, the answer is: It depends. If the blower was originally set up for alcohol, then it was set up with tighter clearances than a gas blower would normally use. However, if it's a used unit with much time on it at all, then the blower is probably loose enough to use with gas. Just as a...

    Huge Indoor Carshow/Swapmeet in Greensboro Today !

    Hey Stumper, sorry I didn't get your message until this evening. I was in Greensboro by the time you responded, and sorry to hear you were down. The show was great, and the swap meet was even better. Not much in the way of Mopar stuff, but plenty of race/pro-street stuff that's pretty universal...

    Worlds Smallest Hand Made Diesel Engine Video

    Hey Guy's and Gal's (Now with the video)

    Beast, if you want feedback, here's mine: I think you're idea is outstanding, especially when you consider the expanded capability of the 8-pin modules. For less than 100 bucks, it's a steal. I just converted a friend's SB to HEI and the 4-pin module alone was $45, plus another $60 for the...

    Should I disconnect ballast resistor when using MSD ignition?????????????????????

    Duster360, don't have to run the ballast. However, if you want to keep it for nostalgic reasons you can disassemble the ballast and solder in a wire to bridge the connection and re-install it. It's how my buddies and I run our units. Southernman

    Ignition woes

    Dartbro, IMHO, do the HEI conversion. It's the best time and money you'll spend on your hotrod, and you can kiss ignition issues good bye. One wire for ignition and one wire for the tach. It's one of the first changes I make to a new hotrod. Let us know how it goes. Southernman

    wilwood front disc brake conversion

    RR, don't take this wrong, but the swap you're inquiring about isn't a very common swap. It's probably because anyone that spends the money for Wilwood stuff is more concerned with brake performance, where maximized rotor and pad surface area are maximized. Working within a 14" wheel limits your...

    426 Hemi

    IJ, nice work on that beast. It looks like you also took a few slices out of your k-member. Your set is almost identical to how I'm setting mine up right now. I'm going with a 4spd however, and hope to be able to use the mechanical stuff. If not, I've got Wilwood hydraulic parts to convert it...

    426 Hemi

    IJ, you are correct. The only reason you would want to use the spacers is in the event you were building a 100% clone of the old Super Stock cars. I got that "rule book" info from Greg Fernald and a few other guys that supply the hemi k-members, and built AF/X and SuperStock replicas. They also...

    426 Hemi

    The spacers were used to help Chrysler meet a "new" rule that was put in place to try and keep them from competing in the superstock classes with a Hemi car. The rule stated something like, "...no engine nor engine parts shall extend above the stock hood line." The spacers were used to raise...

    Torsion bar Warning

    Guys, I built, and helped build, a few altered wheelbase cars in the past, and removing and relocating the torsion bar sockets was part of the job. Back when we couldn't get 10-over bars, some of us would pull bars from a C-body car (5-over) and simply remove and "reverse" the t bar sockets...

    stroker question

    Call Indy Cylinder Head, or Ray Barton. They build them all the time based on an R3 Block with a 9.6 deck and siamesed block that will easily go 4.25 on the bore. With an, as delivered, 4.22 bore, you'll get 476 cubes. 4.25 x 4.25 gets you...482 cubic inches, from a Mopar small block. All it...

    I have built, literally, dozens of these engines over the years and can tell you that your plan is pretty close to getting you where you want to be. I've had excellent results by doing exactly as you posted, but using 360 heads - with one caveat: If you dingle-berry hone it (or 400 grit...

    is my crank a 4 speed crank??

    If you want a real quick solution, call Mancini Racing and have them send you their "Ball Bearing" pilot bushing that fits into the recess where the torque converter snout normally resides. It's quick, easy, and requires no machining of bushing, crank, etc. They've worked great for me over...

    Rear Tires Suddenly Lock Up Going 65

    I had the same thing happen years ago with a 4 spd big block 67 Belvedere. It turned out the big block made enough torque to, over time, loosen the pinion nut, which allowed the pinion to drive too deep into the ring gear. It stopped me dead in my tracks. Put it in reverse, and it...
