    Blue Print 408?

    The BluePrint 408's will take LA headers just fine. I have ran the BluePrint 408 myself with basic LA based headers. The intake that comes installed is a Magnum RPM airgap. We only use the actual edelbrock for HP reasons The BluePrint 408 can be had in everything from a longblock, to a...

    or back to post 1, amazon yourself the lead bushing for $5 and call it done. whatever is easier.

    New Battery - Positive post too small?

    on simple old school clamps, it's pretty easy to just take material off and get a little more clamp / squeeze out of it. you can buy new ones, but you could probably knock .010-.020 off per side with a straight file, and safe yourself the hassle.

    New Battery - Positive post too small?

    I've seen this on late model cars too. had to put a battery in the wifes Hemi Charger and i could pull the terminal clamp off by hand. stacked tolerances apparently. Wasn't worth even driving back in town for something i could fix with a home made sleeve I whipped up in 2 minutes.

    New Battery - Positive post too small?

    Yup. Happened many times. Can remove a little material from the center of your terminal clamp so the clamp has more room to travel without bottoming out. Or find a little piece of copper plumbing scrap and fancy yourself a bushing to make the terminal a fatter OD. I have ran into this more...

    What plugs are You Running in Your 408 Strokers.

    We run the 7938 aka bkr5e plugs from your first post in approx 30,000 crate engines a year. They are a HUGE upgrade to the old 792 champions we ran in the past. If I was going to try something else, it would be bosch. But I have no reason to as the ngk's have been great. They are my favorite...

    Trailering your A-body

    Unrelated to your question, is this quaker city? I'm 10 mins from there. I mount these tie does where it makes sense in my enclosed trailer. Use a loop on the k member in the front, and I use axle straps on the rear. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9GRT3CM?tag=fabo03-20 I never liked e track...

    1969 barracuda engine swap 318 to blueprint engines 408 Crysler compatible

    Thanks for tagging me @TT5.9mag Wow are we all over the place with this one. Nowhere in any of our instructions does it say to crank anything for 15 mins. The engine is an magnum weight 360 damper (which we sell if the engine didn't come with it) (only bases dont) and an LA 360 on the rear...

    Mix ARP and Stock Main Bolts?

    I have seen plenty of guys run studs, and throw one stock bolt in for oil pump clearance issues. I also don't run a windage tray because the windage tray studs were on backorder when I put it together. And been 12 years of spinning 7500 rpm with no oil pressure loss cavitation, or issues.

    Fuel Pump for Street Small Block - Mancini Racing mystery one?

    ya know, thats a good question. I looked to see if holley or edelbrock offer one (because it looks about the same), and couldn't see they did. Carter had a few in the $30-40 range, which on a $66 pump probably doesn't make a bunch of sense. I could get ya one, but within a year, it's under...

    Fuel Pump for Street Small Block - Mancini Racing mystery one?

    Mechanical Fuel Pump - Chrysler SB Compatible 273-360 - 2 Valve - 80 GPH and 6 psi The one in your link looks identical to the china pumps sold by top street and many others. Down to the point they offer black and chrome. Ours are made by a huge fuel pump mfg in South Korea. Not China. They...

    5.9 Magnum Flexplate help needed

    Since we only sell engines with LA balanced cranks, we only have the LA balanced flexplate. I was going to suggest PRW, but looks like they are already being talked about. WILCAP may still do some custom flexplates if someone wants to do some googling.

    great to hear! we had so much positive feedback on the 408's at this show, it blew my mind! (not that the feedback was positive...but the fact we had SO many people identify themselves and give a testimonial!!)

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Yeah thats too bad. I wish we were "small enough" to do the special projects here and there, but we've simply grow to such a size, and use so many all new components/blocks, we just cant do the rebuild part anymore. Good problem to have at the end of the day.

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Little bit of everything. No cores. low sales, expensive, 2 piece rear main rope seals. got to the point where our core suppliers could only find RB blocks in motor homes, and they went out and bought larger crushers to crush Winnebago's. On top of the face we're not a rebuilder anymore...
