    For those curious. My bill for my short block.

    Holland Automotive Machine is a reputable shop. I know the owner personally. They build regular engines and high performance engines across all brands. Stellar work. Please withhold the flaming- I have my reasons why I paid to have this done. 360 Magnum short block dropped off with all 300,000...

    In 2025 are the replacement stamped steel Rocker arms good?

    I'm having a 360 Magnum short block built and the stock stamped steel rocker arms are an adequate design for my cam (220-225 dur @ .050 lift 1200 RPM-5700 RPM range.) HOWEVER, the units from my core engine have over 300,000 miles on them. As of this post I have not visually inspected them but in...

    A forged 360 Mag piston that comes in around 8- 8.5:1?

    I've done some searches here and with google but really have not found a recommended part # of a Forged piston that will be in the 8s for compression. Will be used in a 360 magnum with Iron magnum heads and a Weiand 144 street blower. When I look at piston specs and the piston states a dish that...

    144 Weiand supercharger and engine displacement

    In the near future I will have a Magnum based small block built and will utilize a 144 Weiand blower. Goal is a gutsy responsive fun street engine that is not temperamental. No drag strip but a fun summer toy for driving to work and cruising thru the beach and town. I would like a 3:55 geared...

    Welding up a 273 intake manifold to work on 340 heads

    This post is about a 273 intake manifold- specifically for a 144 Weiand street blower kit. The manifold I have is an Offenhauser 273 dual quad unit modified to bolt a 144 to it. The Offenhauser 273 dual quad intake can be bolted to the much bigger port 340/360 heads but due to lack of sealing...

    YouTube style wreck while leaving a car show in my town.

    I read this Sunday morning. What makes it worse is a female friend of the owner is blaming everything except the owner/driver of the Duster. Shame. Quote from friend defending the drivers' actions: "He did a burnout yes but when he let off the throttle the back wheels broke loose. And because...

    How do I clean out my email here on For A Bodies Only?

    I'm at my limit and must delete messages. I select all of them but under "Choose action" there is no option to remove, delete or place in the trash. I tried to email a site administrator but cannot because of my full conversation box.

    If only this type of kit were available for SBM at the same price......

    I'm not a closet chevy lover. I know there are several centrifugal supercharger kits for us. But I am amazed the at the low price of this kit for the 350 Chevy- and from Edelbrock. SBC has always had this advantage. Dick Landy offered a similar kit in the 80s and now just the intake manifold he...

If you are the gentleman I traded with could you please PM me here? Times have changed and Id like to offer to buy that manifold...
