May be right about not being a "P" part but I think it was listed in the Direct Connection monthly magazine. They said a fully ported head and Fuel Injection was in the works too. Some things are pipe dreams and never came to fruition.

Around the late 1980's Direct Connection had a stroker crank kit for the \6. The kit made a 242 CI. I was doing 2.2 stuff so I was not interested.

Could put a hose extension on it and build a metal box to house it with some dampening. I'd move that Cone Air filter to the front of the radiator so you have a bit colder air intake. The supercharger will add more than enough heat to the charge. Looks COOL as hell but not functional.

A BIG coalescing oil to air separator is a must if you are feeding the PVC back into the air intake side of a turbo/supercharger. Even more so with an Intercooler. You do not want oil mist inside the vanes or cooler. On my Subaru Turbo's, I run 1 on each side 10AN line from the valve covers up...

Blow-By is always an issue on pressure fed engines. Ring control goes all wonky with pressure and HEAT. Someone asked early in this post if you had opened up the top piston ring end gap.

With most turbos you can plumb the blow-off valve back into the air box, or as Subaru does it, just before the turbo but after the MAF.

EBooger's Green Brick tech pages had a lot of good info back then. Crossmember mods, torsion bar info, powersteering mods....... But I do not remember if Steve was involved at all. I'm thinking not.

On the supercharger kit do they offer different crank pulleys? Mix and match pulley sizes can be fun (NOT) but you can dial in the shaft speed and PSI. Sometimes a 1/2 inch change on just the top pulley can be too much. And you want as large of pulleys, matched of course, so the belt has better...

And something else shrinks when it gets cold but I can't put my hands on it ;)

You do not need to hear it, you will FEEL it.

And there is NOTHING like a LRT in a long tunnel and punch the go fast peddle half way through.

What makes a Classic car "CLASSIC"? In 1965 Plymouth made 22,000 Barracudas, many with slant sixes. In 1968 Chevy made 208,000 327 powered Cameros, many 6's too. In 1978 only 2,500 LRT's In 1979 only 3,500 LRT's. So 6,000 for both years ?????????? .

Rumors were rampant but 90% were wrong. With only 2500 1978 LRT's made for the whole world if you have one keep it. With around 3500 1979 LRT's made it is almost guaranteed a 1978 is more desirable. Now a short story. In 1990 when I was stationed at Ft Lewis WA my Company Commander had a 1979...

This will not help the question on 1979 LRT air pump. But my story on what cam is in mine. I have the EH1 from my 1978 LRT on a stand buried in the garage. The engine was pulled and regasketed around 1989 due to leaking coolant at right headgasket. Has steel dual chain cam sprockets, Windage...

5 years ago I seen a 2010 Kawasaki Concours 1400 for sell in Kellogg Idaho. Seller said he'd hold it if I gave a $250 deposit. I had a local LEO friend check out the seller and all seamed OK so I paid (PayPal).... Day of the 5 hour drive seller said the bike was just serviced and was ready to...

Not a clue which Tractor Fluid we were using. It was from NAPA stores in 1994 when I was going to collage for my AS's in Automotive and Welding. Can you remember what oil you used 29+ years ago for cutting and grinding if it was not your equipment? I know it was clear. colorless and did not...

In Community Collage we used cheap Tractor Fluid for the same Black & Decker machine. Instructor was a FORD machnic during summer time and said that when Type F was hard to find they used Tractor Fluid in the C4's and power steering......

I once used some 3/8 inch angle iron to make a 90 degree angle change and then used some sway bar links from a Toyoda. Or something like these: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/spx-smx-122575

I never us Helicoils. ThreadCerts are a bit different.

I have always bored my SB rear main hole out to 1/2 inch and then taper it some and do the same to the NEW oil pump. I do use the paper gasket but spray CooperKote sealant on both sides. I then use a flat plate with emory cloth and WD40 to lightly dress the oil pump and caps mating surface. I...

Back in 1992 when I was stationed in Korea you could buy anything and 99.99% were cloned parts. A friend went downtown and bought a Yamaha 5 channel AMP for like $115. I had the same model I had bought in USA for $450. They both sounded the same in the low freq's but his tweeter freq's were...

Since that is just the bolt that holds the oil pump on the main cap I'd maybe CLEAN the crack real well, JB Weld the crack, then drill it oversize and a bit deeper and tap for a ThreadCert. There is not a lot of side loading on those bolts so I'd lock a stud into the ThreadCert.

The 741 has about the same size necked down where the bearing is as the 742 or 489. I pulled a 741 case out of a 1967 US Forestry long bed pickup with a \6 and granny 4 speed that had 5.13:1 open. Had 17 inch split rims. We put a SureGrip on it and it was running strong 25 years ago when I...

All this SpeedMaster stuff pulled off Summit's shelves will be on Ebay in 3 weeks or less.

And all the GM cars used the 5 point MOPAR rivets too. NOPE they are also 6 point, so are AMC. I think my 1989 BMW 635 CSI M6 was also a 6 point rivet..... Was not a Manufacture mandated rivet. It was a FEDERAL mandated rivet.

1965 Barracuda. Has LBP all around so 5 on 4 1/2. 15 inch Cop Car Rallys all around. 235/60 15's front and 275/60 15 rear.

My 1965 Barracuda has a blower motor in the back to blow air on that HUGE glass. No heat, just air. The under dash switch was missing when I rebought the car in 1986 but read "Rear Blower" if I remember. My mom had the dealer install a heater core from a mail order place like JC Whitney and...

Being an open deck, the top of the cylinders would walk around so the head gaskets were very special. One of the plans were to wind 1/4 inch copper tubing around each cylinder and fill the water jackets with high temp epoxy or block cement, then milled flat. The copper would be into the water...

Back in 1999 or so, I sold a 1962 225 aluminum engine to a guy from California for $500. He took it down to Doug Dutra's shop. It came out of a 62 Valiant with a 7 1/4 Suregrip 3.51:1 and a 3 on the tree.

My son does not have a picture of the 273 wrist pins but has notes of when he weighted them. Full floating without the keepers they are 320 grams each. Not sure how much the keepers weigh. 5.64 POUNDS for all 8 The Light weight ones he got for his 318 were from Manley and are Pressed In and...
