Lol because of all the rust underneath? No my dad bought it in NC in the 80's and it was already in rough shape.

Thank you! It's QA 1 level 2 handling suspension up front with QA 1 shocks and hotchkis leaf springs in the rear with a pinion snubber on the 8 3/4 rear.

Thanks! I'm running out of steam when it comes to the interior and paint tho lol. So far it's been a mindset of if it don't make it faster, handle better or more reliable I'm not worried about it. Took alot of measurements and search to locate those rims to fit the 275/60/15's on the back and I...

Collage of pictures documenting the evolution of my Zombiefish, still got a long way to go but wow what a difference!

Started out as a simple pad check and replacement. Started cleaning and rebuilding the calipers and I remembered I had some old Turbine bronze touch up paint tucked away so I decided to do a small upgrade to looks and performance, painted and lettered the calipers and added some new drilled and...

Well didn't get the replacement lifter pair in yet looks like Comp dropped the ball.....

Not sure its stuck, seems to me to be rotated? I don't know it it would be worth the risk especially since there is a pretty good sized ding on the outside ring of the plunger cup.

you know the good thing about problems is you learn from each one. I will definitely be planning for solids for any future build or if I have more problems with these. I kinda blew the rest of my budget on forged crank/rods and the lightweight flywheel/twin disc clutch. I do wonder if maybe when...

Wow I need to do some research on solids, i allways thought they were something you don't drive on the street and had constant lash problems.

How much trouble are solid lifters? Probably won't be putting much more than couple thousand miles per year on it.

yes it was just the loose pushrod making the noise, all the pieces were still in the lifter thank goodness. We saw no evidence of any damage to cam, rocker or pushrod. I did not, and I'm not sure if my engine builder did either, he did mention he made sure they were clean and lubricated before...

Yeah thats kinda what I thought just wasn't sure if it was ok to use a different set on just that cylinder? Also would like to be able to drop them in without removing the heads. Comp retro fit 8920 lifters Thats what my builder said as well but I had a set already so i used them. So as I...

Do you know off the top of your head if they will fit with the heads still on? Eddy RPMs

Fired the engine up after a rebuild, started first try but soon happy turned to sad as a metal to metal tapping started. pulled the valve cover off and saw #7 intakes push rod was loose. Took manifold off and discovered my new Comp Cam roller lifter didn't look so hot..... and now they are...

yeah I should have done exactly that. I put studs in each of the mounting holes on the bellhousing in order to ensure proper alignment. With this clutch assembly there are two discs and that crappy plastic line up tool doesn't really cut it. Maybe one was in a bind and that caused the lock up I...

yeah it's not binding anymore. I did not dial-indicate the bell housing, it is a quicktime bellhousing that I have used with this transmission in the past, I probably should have tho.

Yeah this post.... spoiler it's fixed now, another spoiler I have really no true understanding why the motor locked up. There may be a lesson in here somewhere... I just got my engine back from the builder and started the install: Got the engine in place and moved to: inspection cover...

Done deal 1.6 intake and 1.5 exhaust it is! Thank you all for your input! After I get it broke in I'll post some dyno content on and off NOS.

Yeah, kinda seems like it will probably just shift the cam operating RPM range to the right. I would be very happy with anything in 430-450 range. I'm putting in a light weight flywheel from Brewers and a McLeod twin disc. I'm planning on spinning it 6500rpm maybe a little more if cam and heads...

Guess what I was trying to do was compare the same cam with or without 1.6 rockers, I thought maybe the 1.6 rockers might give me more midrange on that same cam vs 1.5? Those were my thoughts as well engines are engines should work similarly. Got chevy valves in the heads shhh.... lol. I am def...

Thank you for your reply! I had thought I should see a better midrange? The added duration might affect low speed drivablility but perhaps increase top end HP? I could not make up my mind about the cam and finally got this one because it closely matched the specs of a Hughes engines flat tappet...

Thank you for your reply! Sorry yeah I did say emphasis on strip use and I thought my avatar gave vehicle away lol, but for sure as you said: that was my worry is over camming my heads. Maybe the 2.02 valves prove to be the choke point. Here are some more specifics 1967 Barracuda approx. 3060...

My engine builder says I have the clearance, and I have a set of 1.6 roller rockers laying around. So is there any downside in going with 1.6 ratio with my combination? Car is street/strip with emphasis towards strip. Also if you have any predictions on this combo love to hear them! 360 La...

Stocker Star shocks no gas. But have 18 levels of dampening.

So my old K member is worn out as are my UCA's and LCA's so I shelled out some Benjiman's and pulled the trigger on a QA1 level 2 suspension kit with front and rear shocks, on my 67 Cuda. I still need to have a professional alignment but just getting it "close" myself yielded some awesome...

Awesome! Thank you!

Is that NGK plug a good pick for my setup? The 9 is pretty cold compared to OE 14?

No you are right (I am a 4 speed as well) the rpm drop is not going to be down to 3k, I meant on the initial hit I thought coming in sooner would be better but in the overall scheme of things your only gonna lose that 800 rpm once. I think you are right the Y is not technically the least...

here is a clip of the first hit

I tried the the setup I had, did 3 hits. One in 2nd gear and two in 3rd, seemed to do pretty good. Broke traction in second tho gonna need more tire. Yeah I was a little worried with about the 93 octane, I wound up putting a can of that race gas octane booster in and it seemed to do good. I...
