    SB REAR MAIN SEAL

    Absolute PITA to do it in car. You might fix the rear main and then your pan will leak because you couldn't do a good job cleaning up sealing surfaces under the car with all the stuff in the way. Gather all the parts and borrow or rent (they rent on the cheap) a cherry picker. Before you crack...

    318 with 360 heads and compcam build help

    Changing to magnum heads is a little complicated because they oil differently than LA heads. You can stay with your 360 heads and probably see similar results to mine with a similar cam, good intake, and carb. The stage 1 shift kit was well worth the low money investment, it gives a shift that...

    67 Dart K Frame question

    I swapped a small block into my 67 slant six Dart using TransDapt #4695 mounts. I needed about 5/8" spacers behind the front left ear for them to work. After that, the engine and trans went in like it was made for it. The stock hood closes with an Edelbrock airgap, no carb spacer, and a drop...

    [WANTED] Looking for a slant 6 225

    I have everything you need in Northern Ohio. It might not be a 71 engine but it and 904 column shift transmission ran perfectly when I swapped it out in 2023. It has the super six intake and Clifford long tube headers. Your inbox is full where I'd give you my phone number to chat about it if...

    2025 Hot Rod Power Tour

    I book in advance, but I need the peace of mind. Even so, last year the Nashville area hotels bumped me once, I fixed that, then on the day of arrival they tried again. I gave them a piece of my mind, as I was already limping on a stuck wheel cylinder and ticked off, enough f bombs and...

    [WANTED] Looking for a hotter hyd roller cam for a 5.2 magnum

    I know Oregon Cams can take a stock 5.2 cam to 212/220 .485 / .506 (1.6 rocker ratio) with 110 LSA. I have one, it's their #1280 grind. I'm very happy with the power. I used the Hughes magnum spring kit, Magnum air gap intake, and headers. After machining heads, deck, cam and a thin head...

    10" SBP Parking Brake Spreader Bar

    The bars I received from Mckellars Modified Rides are .186" thick and appear to be well made pieces. They gave great service, shipped fast, and packaged well. I'd buy from them again!

    10" SBP Parking Brake Spreader Bar

    Thanks but I think I just answered my question. Mckellars Modified Rides lists a set for 10"x 2-1/2" and a set for 10" x 1-3/4". The pictures look like my bars are for 2-1/2". Rear Parking Brake Strut Levers 10 X 1 3/4 65-72 A Body 10 Thanks for the tip @Daves69!

    10" SBP Parking Brake Spreader Bar

    I have an SBP 8-3/4 rearend with 10" drums. I bought the axle used with brakes and the parking brake spreader bars were not there. I had 2 spreader bars laying around that I thought were for 10" brakes so I used them. When I installed the axle shafts, the backs of the wheel studs rubbed on...

    Stovers Power Sports- Lisbon Ohio

    Thanks for weighing in Johnny Mac, it's good advice, I'm going with a junkyard engine. I've been happy with the power of my current 318 that developed a crack in the block after 2 seasons and 5000 miles. My oldest son and I rebuilt it together, it was my first fully built engine and his too at...

    Stovers Power Sports- Lisbon Ohio

    Thanks for the advice. It's basically a warmed up engine with a mild cam. I had thought about a junkyard engine, still considering it. I can get one for $400 with 130K miles on it. I have rebuilt heads with better valve springs and the cam, maybe I should just get the junkyard engine, swap...

    Stovers Power Sports- Lisbon Ohio

    Anyone have experience with Stovers in Lisbon? Are they a reputable and honest machine shop with experience? I'm looking at an engine block they have where a customer backed out on the deal. Machining halted at the cylinder hone due to the customer backing out. One cylinder was sleeved, this...

    Water in oil after rebuild - looking for guidance

    I did do a compression check which checked out reasonably good. All cylinders except #7 at 135 psi (opposite side of the engine) were at 150 psi. I haven't pinpointed why #7 was down. There's nothing obvious on the gasket that says it leaked. I haven't pinpointed how the water got in the oil...

    Water in oil after rebuild - looking for guidance

    Thanks for all the tips everyone. I did not retorque the heads. I did use new ARP head bolts and followed their instructions to a T. I didn't chase the bolt holes but I cleaned them with a bore brush and air and ran the bolts to snug by speed wrench to get a good feel for any trouble. The...

    Water in oil after rebuild - looking for guidance

    I'm pretty disappointed, I'd like to know if it was something I did or it was like that when I assembled the engine after machining. I opted out of the magnaflux at the machine shop. This engine had 5000 miles on it before showing any signs of an internal coolant leak.
