    SM Head Modifications on a budget

    Wonder if you have to much airspeed over the short turn now, especially with the pushrod pinch opened up. I'd bet adding width to the short turn might help?

    Small bore sizes make it harder also. Less swept volume

    Nicks Garage 383 build

    To adjust main bearing clearance for one, and to straighten all 5 housing bores. They are often out of line slightly after 50+ years and millions of heat cycles

    understanding a low oil pressure 360

    I see now where you said you didn't measure the bearing clearance. That's a big no-no and will be extremely difficult to keyboard diagnose without knowing that. One other internet "mopar guru" built a 318 recently that went for a famous online dyno test, and he assembled the engine with std...

    understanding a low oil pressure 360

    What were the actual bearing clearances when you assembled the engine?

    understanding a low oil pressure 360

    If that guy, whoever he is, thinks oil pressure is related to rod side clearance, then he should be called a "idiot" not a "guru" that IS not your problem!

    Slant 6 stroker?

    Indeed they can. How does 4 digit power on factory main caps and bolts sound? I'm not at liberty to give out details, but a quick YouTube search might give you some details!

    No, the magnum roller cam is just cast iron, not billet so it uses regular gear

    1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

    All blasted, welded and painted K member. Also note the cool limiter strap added early in the cars life. Bolts right to one of the factory motor mount hole locations on the block. Simple, effective!

    A little extra weld definitely helps while you got it apart!

    1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

    Little factory welding, ray Charles style. But notice the horseshoe reinforcement specific to the 340 cars.

    273 Commando - UTG

    Is that all? I wouldn't think it would be worth the effort and time to do all that filming and editing for 200 bucks. Hes probably making 3 or 4 dollars a hour

    Lifter failure

    See the one I have circled? Notice the pattern is off to the side? I see this often when I re-face brand new lifters. The lifter was held crooked when the spherical radius was ground on the face.

    273 Commando - UTG

    The real question is if a guy has 364,000 subscribers, and gets 30k views on a video, why don't the other 334,000 of his subscribers watch anymore?

    Lifter failure

    In my shop I try NOT to build anything flat tappet. But when I do, I have a tobin-arp tappet grinder and I reface EVERY lifter that gets installed. I also save all the flat tappets I pull from core engines. The surface finish and radius is terrible on a bunch of the new ones right out of the box

    Cost for labor on stroker build?

    I have discovered the ignore feature is a great thing! Not interested in a guy who doesn't own a car or build engines, giving out advice on a car forum. Dan the man with no car

    1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

    Correct, trying to make sure he heard from other legitimate sources that it was gonna be a lot more expensive than originally expected. But at the end, scott didn't expect it to cost a lot, and I agreed to the reduced price because I felt bad for him, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to let...

    1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

    Well, I thought I would update the thread a bit, and highlight my shortcomings of keeping track of my labor hours. I, like many others, got caught up in the "coolness" of the build, and got all excited, almost forgetting I'm running a actual business. When I discussed the final cost with scott...
