Oh yeah. Had a locust tree with a huge limb 10 feet off the ground. Used a chain fall to pull motors. Had a bob cat front loader and dug a trench the length of my 67 camaro and just wide enough for the tires to not drop in. lined it with burlap sacks with a bit of local hay inside. Drove the car...

I built a 318 with zero deck, 10:1 compression .043 quench with a comp XE268H and indy LAX heads worked by brian @ IMM. Eddy airgap, 750 double pumper. Ran a 12.96 @ 103 1/4 mile with 3.73's in stock form. Dyno'd at 286 rear wheel horse and 268 rear wheel torque IIRC. Not bad for a...

That's pertnear dead nuts I'd say.

Oh, I don't know. I should have bushed the lifter bores for the taller hydro rollers or for solid rollers from the get go. In the Roller LA's and magnums I don't think they have these problems...maybe RPM limited as compared to solids. I think the magnums addressed the pushrod/lifter angle...

Didn't use cryo's, I bought PN HUG 15063 PREMIUM SB 1.6 ROCKER ARM KIT W/ SHAFTS CNC'D ALUMINUM ROCKERS. INCLUDES SPACERS, SHIMS & GROOVED SHAFTS. Ive got about 7000 on this last lifter set and probably 4000 since the last crocus cloth cleanup of the shafts on the lathe. 3 sets of retro...

Yup, I had a plastic line get too close to a header. Going through the gears in a 67 Camaro the plastic got hot enough to blow a bubble in the line before it popped. Smoke everywhere, Thought I torched the motor...nope. Lucky I had a pair of vice grips with me to get it home. No more plastic...

Ive been using Hughes roller rockers and retro roller hydro lifters in a non roller LA block...NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. Ive had the rocker shafts out 3 different times. Some of the rockers over time will begin to gall and causes the rocker to bind. I can hear it at idle and when I take it apart...

I know it's an old thread but....So with an LA factory roller block these mods still need to be done or was some of it addressed at the transition from LA roller to Magnum roller?

Ha, no doubt about the burning eyes. This thing just down right stinks...I'm hoping the EFI will help to reduce that. I did go up 2 sizes on the secondaries and 1 on the primaries on the 4150. It runs 12.5 AFR all the way through a dyno pull...a bit rich at idle. Cats, now there's something I...

Thanks for the responses. Crawling around underneath I can't see any reason why they won't fit. My springs are in the stock location and a stock tank for now. When the Eddy pro flow 4 EFI intake is installed I'll be going with a Tanks Inc Efi tank...may be some fitment issues between them and...

My LA 408 with 2.02 indy LA-X heads shaved to 59cc's, good quench and a hughes ser3438aln-10 zero deck 10.5:1 727 manual valve body in a 68 Barracuda stock trim...runs 11.63 at 119 in the quarter with 3.23's with a 3200 stall from TCS Products in Langley BC Canada. Great converters. It's loose...

Ive got a 68 Barracuda. I'm getting ready to put an Eddy pro flow 4 EFI port injection on my 408 but I want to upgrade the starter and exhaust first. I would like to run 3" TTI headers and pipes all the way out the back but I've been told that there will be fitment issues at the rear spring...

Heck, I made ifrc, 286hp and 265 tq to the rear wheels with a 318 in the car to the left without even trying...XE268H, Indy closed chamber LA-X heads, 10.3:1 comp and pistons .012 in the hole. Edit: I found the dyno sheet...power at rear wheels remember...

I don't know if lifter geometry could be corrected with bushing the bores to correct or lessen the push rod angle, I would think it could?? If I was to do it again the bores would be bushed. I wonder if the geometry was changed on the magnum and roller LA blocks or if just a taller boss/bore for...

Yup, that one is still sitting in the corner with a screwed up deck.

Ya know, I'm about to go nuts here. Was going to dig in when the 727 was done. 2 transmissions later...... The first one was done by recommendation from a friend. Well, that trans was done in a shop with a dirt floor by a guy who had no idea. Delivered it to my house with his wife who followed...

Didn't take it at all that way RRR... I just like to quote "I may not be too smart but I sure can lift a lot of heavy stuff"...

Absolutely not. If it was done right the piston should sit nearly equal depths side to side not counting variances in pin location and rod length. Seems odd that both blocks show the same height variance on the same side. tells me they're not setting it up right or their equipment is off. It...

One side the pistons sit in the hole average .004 the other side sits in the hole .009 on the 408. The 318 sits .012 and on the other .018. same side is low on both blocks.

I suspect the machine shop that did mine didn't get it quite right. Compression numbers are within a few pounds on all cylinders but the left bank has average 203 psi and the right bank has 208 psi cranking pressure. The thrust bearing on both my 318 and 408 are always in the worst condition...

I wonder about the piston in each corner method as well....I'm no expert but it seems piston rock in the hole with no rings leaves open large areas for measurement error.

Anybody using water meth injection with their fitech efi naturally aspirated. Not sure how the thing would like it if at all. I need something to control detonation other than timing on my 408 with 205 psi cranking pressure. 92 octane pump gas

I wonder if it was rebuilt and internally balanced with a neutral balanced converter but has the external balanced harmonic balancer on it...

My 318 build was with IMM indy stock valve size heads with a zero deck and the piston .005 in the hole. about 10.2:1 compression and stock stroke. My Dyno runs topped out at 286 hp @ 6200 and 267 torque @ about 5600 to the rear wheels. Was running a comp XE268H cam and a 4150 @ 675 cfm. Is a...

In my experience, pinion snubbers need *** end squat to plant the tires. Pinion snubbers are almost useless without addressing squat as well. the right shocks and /6 torsion bars got me the squat I need. Stiff sidewall tires also will negate the snubber's function.

...adjustable can and a travel stop on the rod. The can started pulling in at 6" vac and was all in at 12". The rod stop limited idle vac advance to 24*. Ran great after that and idled at 800 rpm. still shook a bit more than a bit but I could idle in gear without stalling, over heating or...

I just used a shorty 9/16ths open end. Just had to remove the coil to make room for my hands. took a 6" long 3/8ths bolt and put gorilla glue with double nuts on the threaded end. Put the bolt head in the box end of the shorty wrench and held it in with gorilla glue. A ratchet and the shorty...

The lifters don't pump up to where they're supposed to. You lose lift and I notice detonation. If I'm thinking right...the valve opens late and closes early???

Did you have to grind the block for link bar clearance?
