Looks good! Better hurry up, racing season started already.

My friends and I, all have been running the Hughes locking dipstick for years. Got them from summit.

Just a quick update on this. He got the modified bearings from 440 source and it didn't make a difference, like I suspected. I ended up cutting the radius off of the back side of the slinger and it seems to be good now. I haven't had time to go and work on it but he set the crank in and it seems...

Wow, that was a kick in the nuts. John, you sure are missed.

As stated before,no.

I will have to take a look at that. Thank you for your suggestions

It's hard to read that but is it saying that the o.d. of the flange is oversized? Like it would need turned down to fit properly?

I could chuck it up and cut it but didn't know if that would weaken the crank any. I think that once the crank is able to move back, it will solve the thrust issue.

Is it normal to have to take .030 off the one side of the thrust surface? What about the excessive clearance on the opposite side? I've never had to take that much off before, that's why I'm asking.

With the thrust installed no, the bearings aren't hitting the radius on the crank, just the crank rubbing the block. That's why I think the block need clearanced because of the crank moves forward to clear the block, then the bearing is just touching the radius on the crank.

Like I said the ones that 440 source modifies are on the way. As for scat, they say that it just uses a p-bearing, which is what those are. We will try them but just trying to get a plan together in case that doesn't work. I think I .010-.020 chamfer on the edge of the casting will get taken...

They are regular berings. Unfortunately the kit was shipped without main bearings but the rod bearings were in the box. Summit and scat were of no help to say what bearings came with the kit. The only chamfered you can get are ones that 440 source puts a chamfer on with a fixture they made to do...

Yes, that would be the correct measurement on the thrust. With the thrust in place there is no movement because it's hitting in the block. Those pictures are with about .005 lapped off the back of the back of the bearing. My concern is if I keep lapping material off the bearing, the front side...

Here are some pictures With thrust installed Gap flavors front Bearing location with thrust installed Thrust bearing removed Removed, now has clearance Bottom thrust just to show how much it needs to move

Yesterday I went to help a friend assemble his 383/432 build. I put the bearings in to check clearances and set the crank in the block. As soon as I set the crank down I noticed it was tight. The radius on the oil diverter(or whatever it's called) that's built into the crank is hitting the...

Coming along nicely. Does the car still have the incorrect grill and hood?

I've been running the same pair for 7 years but haven't been out a ton in the past few years. 28x10.5. They are an excellent tire and will never put a bias ply on the rear of my car. As far as mixing pias on the fronts, I do and plenty of others do too.

What about a right exit housing?

Excited to see what you do to the car and make it your own. Really solid base to start with and make better.

I mostly agree with this. I've stated in the past that this car with 29" tires needs either 4.56 or 4.88. The converter is definitely an issue as the car went faster with my spare converter in it. I do think the can needs changed as I believe Bill ran it before having the heads done and wasn't...

I've been using the comp edm lifters for 6 years with no issues. Run a good oil and break the cam in right.

Totally agree. That's why I asked what his intentions were. Trying to do the best for both worlds.

Good deal. Please keep a posting about the car. There are many members here who followed along with the build and I'm sure would love to keep seeing the progress. My car is similar to what Fred had but smaller cam and stock trickflow's. You may also want to move this to the racers forum or start...

Did the car run 10.4 with the converter that's in it? I had lent Bill a converter and he ran it for a while. I don't remember what it ran with his converter after he had it adjusted. I also always thought that with a 29" tire that he should have a 4.56 gear in that car. Glad that someone who's...

I don't understand either. If there is was something that pittsburghracer showed us is that a good set of ported heads can do a lot. These heads are what John was trying to achieve but these are CNC so they are all the same. If I was chasing a number I would not hesitate to buy these. In fact I...

I sent a broken turbo action converter to ptc to have it adjusted and repaired. Kenny himself texted me pictures then called me to see what I wanted to do with it and talk about the engine combo. If he's still involved I would not even hesitate to send it back to them. If he wasn't involved, I...

Lol. I want to let the ground settle some before I do it.

Still deciding on the heat but radiant floor is definitely on the list. The only thing I would have to decide is where I would put a lift so I can plan out the tubing. I had it built with 12' ceiling height so I have room with a lift.

Last year the wife and I decided to buy a new house. We found one right down the road from her parents house. Having lived in the city, this house has 1.6a of land. We have lived here for a little over a year and decided to build a garage. Decided on 40x48 pole building. It's far from done but...

I still haven't convinced myself not to buy them. I am going racing this weekend for the last time this year. If I can find someone local to buy my trickflow's I will inquire about purchasing them.
