If the filters aren’t restricting, that velocity stack style should make a little more hp than conventional design. Engine Masters tested a bunch of filters and did see a difference. No direct experience with that one though.

Probably not what you want to hear but I think I’d go with a TKX kit over the Passon 5spd. Too many horror stories about delivery and popping out of gear for something that costs that much, in my opinion. The 833 od kit doesnt trip my trigger much either. I’d do a standard four speed with a Gear...

Take these numbers given as examples with a grain of salt. The come from different measuring devices with probably questionable calibration (no offense intended). You need a proper size micrometer (not caliper) that discerns down to 0.0001" to accurately determine if your crank is in spec. A...

Unless you just want to have the W2's to say you have them, I'd re-use the Edelbrock heads and have them worked over and maybe taken out to a 2.05 or 2.08 valve. The W2 have more potential but they need to be ported as well to take advantage of it. The bespoke rockers/intake/header flange all...

Like a lot of the stuff in our tool boxes, when you need one, you need one. My dad had one of these nut busters that I remember using on a 39 Pontiac four door we were hot-rodding 35+ years ago. I thought I got it when we cleaned out the house after he passed and Mom moved. I guess it fell...

Bearing spacer shims take the 360 bearing bore down to 340 size. Not real common but they are out there.

Yes I have. I'm hoping to get some real-world, been there done that feedback from here. So far I haven't found any substantial reviews of the cheaper hydraulic? type load cells in my searching.

Anyone use and have a recommendation for a more affordable valve spring tester? The "good" commercial ones a shop would use are near $1000 new and used versions about half that. I'd be a lot happier around $100-$200 because I'm only using it for my infrequent needs. I have a mill, drill...

That should be a nice cruiser. I’m interested in what slave you use and how you mount it. Take and post some pics when you get there if you don’t mind.

Looks pretty nice. You'll appreciate the weight after 100 rounds or more in an afternoon. I know I tend to get a little flinchy after 50 shots or so with my Peerless field gun, even with the lighter 1oz loads.

These appear to have the threaded spacer welded to the top of a standard head bolt. I can think of two or three ways to accomplish that with a standard Mopar head bolt that would have minimal effect on the strength of the bolt.

If you are going through the cost and effort to change the heads, why would you not put in a new cam that can actually take advantage of the potential increase in flow? Seems like the definition of a half measure. Even with the lower compression of the 72 piston, I would think that the bigger...

DIY rotary engine….

My '71 motor which is standard bore and hasn't been decked as far as I can tell had the pistons at .023"-0.34" above deck, so I think you recall correctly. Some of that variation is in the factory machining of the pistons, rods, and block as well as the regound crank it has. I was planning on...

Cone or clutch type Sure-Grip?

Out of curiosity, are your above deck measurements in line with the pin, or worst case tilt at top or bottom of the piston? There isn’t a huge difference, especially on fresh bores but I think I saw a few thou on my worn bores

The '71 340 in my car has been rebuilt but is still standard bore (with a little wear) and I assume standard deck height. I found my pistons are above deck .025-.033" but pretty consistent on each bank. I wanted to put a set of small chamber aluminum heads on but going from J-heads to aluminum...

I don’t know. I strongly feel there should be some kind of permitting process. I’ve seen plenty that had no business being in any kind of tight clothing.

The bushings are bronze, which is a surprisingly tough and strong metal equal to or exceeding cast iron in some properties. So it's not like you are simply boring a bigger hole and thinning the walls out weakening the system. The bushing has inherent strength as well. As mentioned using...

I replied in your other thread but I would strongly suggest repairing that cap if possible or you will need to line bore and hone, I think. Cap could be welded or maybe a timesert thread insert would work. Might be able overbore the hole and fit a machined bushing

I can’t help with sourcing the cap but if you do the block will need to be lined bored and honed with the new cap. Not cheap. You be miles ahead if you can find someone to repair your original cap without warping, if possible. Good luck. Edit. If you do replace it, a 318 cap will work. Pretty...

I found several near me by Googling "Chrome shop, Wisconsin". The Chrome Shop in Manasha, WI seems to get solid ratings. I've never used any of them but they are out there if you search.

I replaced the bolts and steel gasket with factory parts myself. They quoted $275 to do it so I said no, just sell me the parts. I think the gasket and two bolts came to $60 :eek: but I took them anyway. One bolt sheared but I got it out with some heat. Took ten minutes. They also quoted the...

I've got a 2020 Ram with 5.7 with 62k and took it in last year at 59k for an exhaust leak. I knew there was a leak in front of the muffler but thought it was also one at the driver side manifold. My nephew just had his gaskets replaced so I was nervous about it. They claimed that the...

Small top I think. Haven't looked at it in a while but I'd say it is smaller in volume than the one in this thread before he cut it. Edit... I may have misspoke. Could be a TR5. I think this is a pic of it before I picked it up but its stashed in the attic at the moment.

I need to look into the math on the plenum before I start playing with the TR1 I have for my 340. Nice job. The cutoff disc obviously worked, but I think for jobs like this a slitting saw is the optimum tool to use. Good slitting saws get pretty expensive so I've been using various diameter...

I’ve got an automatic drain off Amazon but it goes off every hour at its longest setting. Way too often. I’m going to plug it into one of those mechanical timers and do it once a day. That should be enough with the after cooler I have plumbed in between the compressor and tank.

I'll let you know how it works when it gets here next week. I wanted the aluminum one with the detent that you push them through but it's almost $40. I'll make one at some point, I can't help myself. I made a .223 chamber reamer from scratch, just to say I did and to learn a few things. Not...

That's a good price and definite time saver. I have a copy of the Giraurd trimmer that I made that makes short work of trimming, so with the saw and jig it shouldn't be too painful to blow through them. Keeps me out of the bars for a while too.

It isn't here yet but this is the one I got. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1577843049/300-blackout-trim-jig-gen3-convert?gpla=1&gao=1& There are lots of them out there and even free files to print from I think. I don't have my printer yet, though and it was so cheap, I couldn't resist saving an...
