    1972 Demon with 71 340 casting

    72 model year cars were built starting in Aug 1971 IIRC. 6-8 month lead time isn't that big of a deal on a block. They didn't do just in time inventory, stuff got brought in and stacked. If it sat in the corner for a bit as newer casting came in, that's where it sat. Stamping looks like...

    Another LA Roller Cam block…

    Sawsall the front of that **** with two vertical lines... Pull it out the front. It the way it is in those yards anymore. Watch someone destroy $500 in parts to get a $5 part out. Never a big proponent of that approach. Half off day is the key at PnP

    Break in cam with new Schumacher ceramic headers?

    Yes indeed, it can be done right. It takes about 2 minutes of wrong to touch up those pretty headers to the ugly side! Header companies say that to avoid customers that don't do things correctly then wanting a redo because the customer messed up. My all time favorite was a kid I knew that...

    Break in cam with new Schumacher ceramic headers?

    Put 40-45* timing on it when breaking it in. If you run vacuum advance on an engine, it likely has more timing than that WITH a load driving down the highway. There is no load on the engine when breaking it in. Timing numbers can be increased without issue. Done a bunch of ceramic coated...

    Trailer/Winch Mount

    I cross drilled the mount so it could go 90* to trailer and also fits in the truck receiver. Makes grabbing cars in odd places much easier to access The winch mount is an old hitch receiver. I cut the ball mount of of it.

    Trailer/Winch Mount

    Here's what I did, when you have a winch disappear, you go a different route than to solid mount it in the open! Not sure what you guys are pulling up on trailer, M1 Abrams tanks? That dinky HF winch pulls up C bodies with 2 locked up tires on my trailer.

    Hey parts vendors, how about INCLUDING A DECENT SET OF INSTRUCTIONS in with the products you sell?

    There is a reason I call them De-structions Can't tell you the number of products I sold that came back FUBAR'd with the instruction still neatly folded in the sealed plastic bag they came in from the factory! The best part was the part was broken in an EXACT fashion that the de-struction...

    hate to bring up a sore subject but

    Same thing happened with the 7.3 PSD injector cup kit. Someone made one up, rent was the cost of the set up, $375 and you got your "rent" back minus $25 upon return. Then someone got it on a sob story without paying for it and kept it. The guy that made it said F it... not doing another...

    Unpopular opinion. I'm so frustrated I hate car shows/cruises.

    Yep The best one was the random kid in the front seat of a car eating an ice cream sandwich, mom standing next to car with a stroller, that someone else owned. Not a fan of the 50's music, but it's OK. Just keep it mellow enough that people can enjoy without being overwhelmed. The people...

    Stock Market

    @inertia I really like Josh Brown. He has a youtube thing called the compound, IIRC. They have some obscure heavy hitters on. This is for anybody reading... I can't stand financial advisors where most don't equal the market return after fees. Most aren't worth a penny. Why would you pay...

    It Never Rains In Southern California...Not True This Weekend!

    Turbo Action 17156 on a mild 340 street Duster?. Help

    Missed the 904 in first post. 727's can explode. Unless you can spin a 904 to about 8500+, they aren't going to let go. Still try to stick with 2nd gear, regardless.

    Turbo Action 17156 on a mild 340 street Duster?. Help

    what transmission? 727or 904? 904 not a big deal. With either if you happen to start a burnout in first go right to second when the tires start spinning.

    jeffy and jimmie gave out plenty of shots over the years. Jimmie benefited from the stupid chase format and Knaus being a really smart. Elliot and Mark Martin were typically super clean racers. Martin would have won multiple championships if he chrome horned people like Sr.

    If I had to guess, a cuda or challenger is most likely what it came out of.
