IDK, man: I'm thinking valve job. It'd a turbo car right? Valves don't bend by themselves, and if a valve doesn't close, it only takes seconds to burn a seat. If something went thru there to bend the valve, guess were it is now; Hyup, in the turbo. If the stems are tight, fix it, or you'll be...

and seat sorta looks burned. and the one on the right looks a lil deep too. How about a pic of the piston under it. Did you check the cam timing before the head came off?

...around the block with the bigger ring-gaps, I knew my troubles were over. Over the following weeks I increased the minimum coolant temp to near 200*F. Right soon after that I added a Thermostatic fan clutch to a 7-Blade factory A/C fan, and the engine has run 205>207 by IR gun, ever since. I...

Yes; RTV only. Sometimes there is not enough room, and the cork seals may split. and usually, they make the manifold sit too high to get the bolts started. and if you start fidgeting with the intake, the gaskets may slip out of place. It's just easier to RTV the china walls. But, as mentioned...

...molecules of gasoline as possible, were consumed to make the pressure, leaving as little as possible passing thru unburned. And I run it at 207* minimum water temperature, which is a tool to promote vaporization of the gasoline, on it's way into the chamber at low rpm...

@junkyardhero nailed it in post #2 I wouldn't put a 600 V-sec Holley on anything bigger than a 273. Ok wait; I tuned one of those buggers lean and it made 40mpg Canadian on my near 200psi 367 , cruising 75= 1850 rpm, in overdrive, so there's that. But it sucked in standard tune on same...

When you rotate the driveshaft in reverse rotation, the rear sprag locks up, which then forces the sunshell to rotate thru the rear planetary; that's where the additional force comes from. Whereas in normal rotation, the output shaft spins freely with the planetaries, and the slipping clutch...

I've had my share of them, while my babies were in carseats and such. And they made great learner-cars for the kids.

I did not know that!

The hole doesn't absolutely have to be as big as shown; 1) it just makes it easier to install the shifter parts after the trans is in. and 2) easier to remove the cover if you need to replace broken forks. 3) but honestly, if you pop the distributor cap, and unbolt the crossmember, the back of...

...Canada, is too thick...... even in summer. I'm with the guy that mention your oil-gallery plug, BUT you could have multiple problems, like; your oil pump relief valve is stuck open, or the oil-pump drive is in the middle of taking a dump. or somehow, your 90* filter housing is making...

Did you know? that LA rocker shafts have to be correctly clocked and that 318 rockers are different from 340s, and among all of those are lefts and rights, and when installing a high-lift cam, you gotta check the rocker to retainer clearance, and the pushrod to p-rod tunnel clearance. Oh and if...

Yeah well considering they they are said to be upside down, it's a supernatural that they flush at all.

Hyup 198s in my dash too.

The step headers will be fine I have those on my 400hp 360/4-speed

Yikes on the price, Maybe I'll have to dig one of mine out.

I watch it unfold every day.

I was an alignment man for a few years. What I ran into is that, on Mopes, when I installed NEW MOOG cambolts into the upper Control arms, did the alignment, tightened them up, and was ready to send it, here's what happened; When I backed off the machine and applied the brakes, I heard a bang...

As a streeter, with a 367/4-speed car, I can tell you that, each of the three cams that have been in my 367, ranging from 223* to 249*@050, were perfect for at least the first summer. That's almost a 4-size range. My secret, is keeping the Cylinder Pressure nearly the same between each...

...2200rpm Your personal ability to modify your distributor is what will make or break your quest, not rpm. What I mean is that if your engine wants 56* of cruise-timing@ 2400rpm, you need to figure that out and how to make it happen. But if it wants 40* at 1600, you gotta make that happen too...

I have never seen any chechballs in those ports, and call me crazy but if I had a M/C with a checkball in there, I would remove it. Here is a cutaway of a M/C; the firewall is to the right. Each reservoir has two ports. One port in each reservoir is for to compensate for wear in the friction...

aren't those just Gorgeous! If yur running an AirGap, clearance under the hood is a big deal.

And I assume 1) You know that there are TWO times in a 4-stroke cycle engine, when the piston is at TDC ..... right? Once on Compression and again on the Exhaust stroke. 2) you know that #1 cylinder is the driver's side front. and 3) to verify means to take that #1 sparkplug out and actually...

BTW 1) the CONE-type Mopar LSD, the one that has two large spiders, can be adjusted from full-open action to almost spool type action, by some combination of cone-preload, oil type, and amount of friction-modifier. 2) the other type of Mopar LSD, the one that has clutches and four smaller...

Same with my original 71 Demon 318, nylon covered teeth. But the chain only jumped a few teeth and the valves lived. Somewhere I have a 69 318 and I am almost 100% sure it has a nylon on it.

I think the year that the 318LA came out, so 1967... but the 340 escaped

...to 2800, and then getting it all-in by 3400. To compensate for the loss of part-throttle and cruise timing, I modded my vacuum advance to get 22* and I bring it in as fast as possible. And finally, I run a 3.09 low gear in the trans, which with 3.55s out back, takes off like it has 4.10s...

Power is for speed. it takes power to push wind, so if you are a dragracer, you have that basic target to achieve; and more to get there quicker. But for your stated purpose, a street car is limited somewhat to being a two-gear car that tops out at around 65 mph. Furthermore, your Swinger...

buuuuut, it's aluminum is easily welded, and repurposed ........ jus-saying

If I was a red-X kindof guy, I would throw out my very first one on this post. But because I'm not, I'll just say I disagree. IMO, the price of gas is is being artificially regulated to FORCE the EV indoctrination program. The problem is that there is too much government "oversight". THEY...
