Yes, this what I thought would be done. Still trying to sort through this. Been trying to speak with the fella at the shop that did this. We've been playing phone tag for about a week now. I got real busy at my shop and they always have work. It will get sorted, one way or another.

@Oldmanmopar : No. They didn't give me documentation of any of the work and I did ask. Didn't request it when I dropped everything off. Didn't think it necessary because all other machine shops I've used write everything down for reference and available on request. That is why I spent a few...

Picked up some Fluid Film and PB Surface Shield on the way home last night. Hell I'll try (almost) anything twice. First times practice. :p

@RustyRatRod Thanks for the info. Is that a product normally stocked by oh let's say O'Reilly or should I look elsewhere?

So, I have been mulling this over for a minute. I picked up my block and crank from the machine shop a while back. Checked the work, coated it with WD, and bagged it. In the meantime, I worked on porting the J-heads, disassembling the 904, cleaning and inspecting, along with gathering the...

Did the same many, many years ago with my parents Subaru. Only got out of the driveway before it showed up. When I left for basic they were still driving the Cordoba. When I finished and came home they had a Subaru. WTH :BangHead:

Thanks for the update. I'm real curious about the results because I've decided to use a set of SM heads on my 340 build stock stroke (for now) engine. As apposed to a set of J heads ported with 202's. Fingers crossed for good results. Side note: I know your not testing J's. I've got plenty of...

Are we waiting for results? Did the discussion move to a different thread....? Inquiring minds want to know.

@Bobzilla the heads are fine. Just the valve bolt boss in one port. Cleaned it up, ran a bolt in the hole, filled in with JB weld. After it set up for a while I gently removed the bolt, let it finish curing and carried on. Couple days later I ran a tap in it, all good. So one pair of fully diy...

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Proud Mary keep on rolling :)

On top will be an Eddy RPM AG with a 750 air sucker. My short coming is in the exhaust. Right now all I have is 1 5/8 NOS Doug Thorley SS headers. I'm doing my best to keep this on the cheap. Engine internals and what not are new but externally trying to get from swap meet and deals on the web...

Let's swap for a year. I'll need a car hauler to come home though. Y'all ain't got no rust problems in the desert. :lol: On second thought... I'm good. I love the ocean and some great fishing.

Reading through the Dyno Head Shootout thread right now. You know...Cuz it's still flipping raining. I should mention this is a 340 build with 1.6 rockers and more than likely the 232/236 @ .050 Hughes cam. Haven't pulled the trigger yet on the cam. Freshly machined block @.040, KB slugs, full...

Off topic but... COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP THE F__ING RAINING !!! It's been raining since Sunday :mad:

Still reading through all the post in the SPEEDMASTER index thread. Seems to be more approval of the heads than disappointment. A lot of people beating on them at the track also. I think for the money it will be a good option. Cost wise it will be a wash by the time all the work is done to the...

Let me start by stating I have read A LOT of the "Speed Master Heads" sticky and am looking for some time and miles update. I ask because after about 30hrs of hand porting work on a set of J-heads (PSA - Don't just be cautious of the water areas, also be mindful of the valve cover bolt bosses.)...

I've been reading about them. Haven't found any negative stuff... that's good. I'm asking because I picked up my 340 engine, crank & rods this morning, all balanced and decked. Yeah! I was expecting Clevite bearings. These may be an upgrade ? I just haven't heard people talking about them. That...

This may be a can of worms but... What is the general opinion of King main & rod bearings

Now Rockingham. https://www.rockinghamdragway.com/schedule/2025/april5/ Even though I went alone, I had a great time and met some really good people. Picked up a few items at the swap meet. No W2 heads but I did find a set of clean freshly rebuilt J heads. That may or may not have come with...

Left out early Sat. morning got there around 7:30. Found some good stuff. More about that latter. My wife was not feeling well. I gotta give her props though. She got up and threatened to go with me. She needed rest because she stared getting sick around Tuesday, so I told her to stay home. And...

Are they 915J or 587 heads?

Way ahead of ya buddy. We're leaving Friday and may be there all weekend. The drags, not the furniture store.:thumbsup: Maybe I should say races with todays lingo and all. Hell, I don't even know if I can say that.:rofl:

SQUIRL !:rofl: Never mind.

Sounds like a lot more than I'm willing to do or pay for right now just trying to get this thing back on the road. I would be past the $1500 mark just to get the correct valvetrain. I can use that on better heads or stroker parts latter when I really build this thing. Right now it just needs to...

Good to know. They do have square rocker stands. No rockers just valves & springs. I only have what he said and he did say "magnum". He said the truck was an "89", nothing about the motor.

Ok, so a lot of porting work and cosmetic clean up on the 360 J heads. I am supposed to take them to the machine shop next week. Last weekend I ran into to a fella that has a set of Magnum heads from an "89" PU and he's offering them to me for supper cheap. He said I could have them checked...

Just spoke to the Missis about what we're doing on the 5th. She said "good we can stop in Society Hill to look at furniture" so.... Thanks? That's cool, she gats a dinette set and I get W2 heads. :lol:

You're talking about the exhaust. Correct?
