We recently installed Edelbrock E Street heads and Mancini roller rockers on our 71 383. The rockers were set to .025 side clearance as recommended and zero lash plus half a turn. We have adjusted the lash 3 times and still have lifter noise. Is it possible the spring pressure on the new heads...

We want to go with a set of aluminum heads on our 72 Swinger w/383 and auto trans. Right now with the iron heads and Schumacher headers, the plugs are a pain to change and the plug wires are very close to the headers. We're looking at Edelbrock E-Street 75cc angle plug heads. Is anyone else...

What is the best way to replace the outerwheel house without paying someone to do it? I have part of the quarter removed for access (they will be replaced) and new AMD outer wheelhouse and trunk extensions for both sides. I have drilled out the spot welds on the front along with the welds on the...

I'm having an issue and would like to get some other ideas. We built a 71 383/727 to install into a 72 Swinger with PS and PB. The engine is bored .030, 9.5 flat top pistons (cast), stock 906 heads (new valves, seats, 3 angle valve job) no port work. Edelbrock dual plane intake w/ 750 carb. The...

We are finally are at a point where we can drive the car around the block. We started it, checked the fluids, put it in reverse and nothing. It does go into drive and the car will move. We put it on jack stands and in reverse the wheels didn't move, they turn in drive but the trans seemed to...

We are installing a 383/727 in our 72 Swinger using the Schumaker mounts. We have a 187 oil pan, the issue is the center link hits the oil pan instead of moving through the cut out area. It's like the engine needs to move back about an inch. The mounts are installed according to the directions...

Today we started our engine, 383 mild build. We ran the engine at 2000-2500 rpm, 10 degrees base timing, open headers, 50 psi oil pressure(with break-in additive) at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. Shut it down and checked for leaks. We installed a pair of mufflers and ran it for another 25 minutes...

Will a posi carrier from a 9 1/4 rear fit/work in a 8 3/4 rear?? I have access to good working unit.

Will the 4 speed from a B-body fit/work in an A-body? I have the chance to buy a rebuilt running 360 w/4 speed for $700. I would like to put this in my 72 Swinger. The owner thinks the trans is from a B-body. Is the trans to long? Is the shifter location in the same place? My car was a /6 auto...

We just dropped off our 72 Swinger fenders at a shop to have them sand blasted (their pretty rusty on the inside), lower patch panels welded in, some dents repaired and a headlight bucket repaired. They are going to call with and est. on Monday but the more I think about it I wonder if it may be...

I'm looking for some information or suggestions on which set of heads to use. My son and I are building a 383/727 for a 72 Swinger. We have a set of 71 906 heads and a set of 66 516 heads, we would like to be around 9.5 CR and 375-400 HP and run on pump gas. We are talking about using a mild cam...

I have an MSD 8545 distributor, the box says 383-400 on it. Will this dist. work in a 413?? Thanks

I have decided to go with a small block so its time to sell the big blocks. I have 3 383's and some other parts that I would like to sell as a lot and for pick up only. I don't want to separate or ship as the parts are big and heavy. The engines are basicly long blocks...

I need to sell a pair of shock plates that are from an 8 1/4 rear axle but should also work on an 8 3/4. They have been sand blasted and primered the part numbers are 1856346 & 1856347. $55 shipped within the lower 48. I work nights so it may take me a day to answer. Thanks for looking.

I am reassembling an 8 3/4 that was disassembled when I bought it. My question is are there 2 axle flange gaskets per side or 1? Are they both foam gaskets? I had to scrape a gasket that would be between the flange and backing plate but I don't remember a gasket between the backing plate and...

Does anyone know if this swap will work? We bought an 8 3/4 rear end without brake backing plates. We have a 76 8 1/4 rear with 10 inch brakes on it. We removed the backing plates from the 8 1/4 and they fit on the 8 3/4, we bolted in the axles(everything still seems to clear) and installed the...
