87 was avery good year...totaled one with 11,990 miles on it in calif...

my answer got put on the wrong post >?????

I never ran into holes like that , and have even wrapped the 7/16'' bolts with alum. tape to make them tighter , not that I have done any but my own ...

agree with this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I had a victor on a 406 sbc , and had no trouble with it anywhere , ran hi elevens in a 92 gmc pick up , and got 16 mpg ,"if I kept my foot out of it" on the hi way , drove it to work and back occasionally 27 mi. each way , and checked it multiple times ...

Why not try 93 "real" gas , 3 something a gallon around here ...

You are forgetting Bob ran nitrous on all those cars , quite successfully at hiding it , his son admitted it years later !! You remember on those cars he kept his intake covered up , supposedly hiding his secret design on his intake manifold , was really hiding the nitrous ...

I have stock mopar perf. covers on victor knock off heads , no problem ...

couldnt be much better !

my daughter drove my 88 silverado for a while in college, she had the oil changed at quick lube and they stripped it , I ended up tapping the hole with a 3/8'' pipe tap , and used a 3/8 pipe plug in in , no more problems...

hey tex, I went thru the same thing, bigger engine , more h.p. in Okla. heat (more humidity) and close to the same temps. Had to overdrive pump pulley, advance timeing on a street car helps, air flow at hi way speeds wasnt a problem , close to 100 /in town was a diff. story. I experimented w/...

do it , I know of a 426 hemi thats had 5 and 7 sleeved for around 50 yrs !

and too low geared for much hi way , especially at joe blows gas prices !~

I always thot everything on a hemi was fun, back in the day , except the tie rod tube pan removal --------

think I woulda checked the bearing before pulling , maybe not needed -----?

I saw a guy shimming bearings on an old chevy that had babbit built rods , a long long time ago, was doing it because of rattle and oil consumption , and it worked !

ur kinda backwards on ur thinking, vaseline is used to help the intake slide into its supposed position , which it does just a hair , when u tighten it down. if u got it w/o it , dont worry about it .

I use to vaseline the intake side of hemi gaskets , for what its worth , Tom Hoover suggested it ---

I dont understand why everybody building an engine wouldn`t do this !--thumbs up.

Have u found that sharper runner dividers are a help , or opposite like moist porters say ? Was looking ur intake over a little , just curious , I know u have way more porting experiance than I do--------I sharpened mine , but tried to leave them rounded as much as possible / being thinner ...

I QUITE AGREE , BUT THOSE FACTORY SET UPS WERENT DEALING WITH THE H.P. WE ARE GETTING OUT OF THEM NOW -------JUST MY 2 CENTS.

ur avatar pic is better rob !

SOLID MOIUNTS OR A MOTOR PLATE AINT BAD AT ALL , IF UR ENGINE IS RACE BALANCED TO KNATS *** !

at hot idle , u aint got a problem !

Between trw old style pistons and new aftermarket , there is a whole bunch of diiff. in weight . If so , I`d rebalance , if really close , I`d go with them on a street car.

used to do the scraping thing on pipeline engine bearings , always hated it ! Hated grinding the poppet valves for the compressors too ! nothing between the caps and case, those pipeline engines set in place and run for 40 or more yrs . some times . they can change oil and coolant in them w/o a...

hughs engines pretty much say the dame thing ^^^^^^^^^^^

I have my 9 qt milodon pan off , helps w/ header installation , an debating which synthetic oil to put back in it --------??

I just went thru all this , no luck w/ rebuilt starters 'too much engine bay heat. Now thermal barrier coated and a new powermaster starter from summit for a 14-1 engine . Have to rework the h pipe cause it doesnt line up exactly right w/ the new tti headers , I aint sure its even worth its...
