As far as I know, CME Carolina Machine Engines has a good reputation. Their site is not the most modern and complete, but they do list pricing of an OEM long block 318. After clicking the below link-select a year in the "Year Model" drop-down bar. I chose 1972. Scroll down past the AMC...

Morning! Pause in the rain for a few days. Went to bed with a headache, still there this morning. And i would say my blood pressure is a little off. Chevelle will be done. So back onto Studebaker this weekend. Not going to push it though. Legs feel better,notice is sitting and standing up.

After yesterday probably a little more. There was the time a doc pulled off the remains of my thumbnail and i think he enjoyed it…

370 hp gross

Definitely needs restoration or great for the ratty muscle look/parts. Lots of pitting and the wheel itself needs covering or refinishing. $125 plus shipping from 95695 Woodland CA

I would say he was stoked. I priced it fair enough that it went to toronto. And lots of extra parts. Car was filled to the rim as well as the back of his pickup truck.

Yes in Australia as well they have to be over 25 years old to remain left hand drive, or have a special dispensation, my father bought a used 1955 Chevy that was 5 years old and had to convert it to right hand drive, as it had been used as a US consulate car it had the special dispensation until...

Given the following car specifications: an m71 demon with 493, 701 lift, 1050 dom. eddy heads, 727 with 3500 stall no trans brake, dana 60 with 3:55 ladderbars & coilovers, capable of mid 10-second runs, with a 12:1 motor compression ratio, full interior, and a 6-point roll cage, what...

You are correct. That made me think of an somewhat related experience on the bench with the Speedmaster head. PBR told me some months ago about the importance of flow around the shrouded side of the intake valve. So now, quite often when I make a change to the head I will flow it with the...

Every year, I see the signs outside the venue directing sellers to the swap meet. It reads... Swapers. Come on, man...Swapers ? Really? I expect to see crappy spelling errors at the junkyard or from immigrants fresh to the country but how is it that for over 10 years, NOBODY has fixed those...

Camber alone is not an issue unless you are one of these idiots: Even this car is a bit extreme: I've run between 3/4 degree and 1.0 degree of negative camber in my cars and trucks for literally hundreds of thousands of miles.... It isn't the camber that gets you. It is the toe...

Well, I was hinting also the seller maybe was puff puff pass......but I guess I have to lead you by the hand. lol

How does it steer? Does it want to dart side to side? Often you can feel generally what’s up with the front end. What does the eyeball alignment inspection say?

*ahem* please refer to the style guide. it should read: "that's a hard no from me" i don't know why i even bother sending out the emails

Horse feathers. Not without slicks, not without something better than the bullcrappy 3.42 gear, not without headers and even then maybe not. What you been smokin? Those cars weighed 3750 pounds and had 8.5:1 compression AT BEST. No way Jose.

This is a OEM Big Block 727 Kick Down Rod W/Clip. It is original, not a china knockoff. It came off of a 1968 GTX, but will also work on many other big block years and models. I don't know if it will work on small blocks. It is 13 3/4", and has the adjustable clip on the upper end. It is in...

I have used a tach buffer cct that I got from Peter Serio, a fellow in the US that repairs car instruments & gauges & knows his electronics. I have used it with HEI dists that are used with cars that originally had points. It is a bit more than a resistor....but easy to consruct for a few bucks...

May have one ill ck in morning

100plus ride

The answer to post #43 is smart people look at what the other guy is doing; maybe they will pick up some ideas that will improve their performance.....

For me it's a strong pass.

The SD 455 was hampered by a 8.4:1 CR....& cam. Pontiac wanted to run the Ram Air 4 cam which was pretty stout for a production car, 231/240 @ 050 & had over .500" valve lift....but failed 1973 emissions. A milder cam was installed...& lost power. I believe it did 13s with the RA4 cam, showroom...

All that added pollution control equipment sure is taxing on a simple V8, 4 barrel engine. Not to mention all that stuff is 45 years old and it all has to work if it is going to pass the emissions tests. If the truck has been sitting around and not being driven regularly, all the worse...

I would venture that the reason for keeping the adjuster cup close to the rocker has nothing to do with strength.......but more to do with rocker ratio. The further out of the body the adjuster is, the more 'ratio' that is lost on the prod side resulting in lost valve lift & duration.

Yep, see you there dude !

I will be there tomorrow night through Saturday with a couple friends. Looking forward to seeing the engine out of my dart make some passes in my buddies race car. It was never going to make passes in mine since I am building a new engine so it will be cool to see it run. See you there Bill, and...

IF the crank rotated, I would pay $500 MAX. And that would still be a gamble.

Yeah. If you know a guy with a lathe, that’s about 10 minutes to make a spacer..

I got a look at a Mitchell emissions book and another book I can't remember the name of today. Answers are still fuzzy but this is what I learned. It goes by year, type of vehicle (truck/van) and gross vehicle weight. 1978 has much less in the way of emissions because Dodge utilized the...
