Ok. I personally like the look of a two door post. Like the intermediate B bodies. Such as a Savoy. I also always thought they were stronger cars. Which would be a win win for me. I was looking at some A bodies and came across a Plymouth valiant two door that looked to me like it was a Two...

So with the 400 block the 470 seems to be the street strokers with the wrist pins out of the ring lands and the extra support of the skirts. At least it seems that way for most, some always disagree. That's cool. My question is with regards to the 4.5 bore aftermarket 440 blocks. How much...

What type of fuel is easiest to store that gives the ability to make more power over 93 octane? I'm just wondering if it's really any better storing a 55 gallon drum of something like methanol over just ordinary street fuel. A street legalish, car that may get 60 miles on the street during...

I am hearing this, what I call horseshit, thing about bolting on a smaller chamber aluminum head will loose compression due to less heat in the chamber. Wouldn't less heat allow for hotter tuning? More advance? Ect? The argument is this "I want to build a "proper bottom end out of my 400...

I've searched around quite a bit and read all kinds of conflicting stuff from it won't work at all to Trickflow is coming up with a manifold. I am under the impression that the Trickflow 270 with "Max Wedge Type" intake runners wil work with a B block if using an RB intake manifold. Is this...

Does anybody know what size rear tires, or about, we're on the Mancini Racing Super Stock? I'm assuming it has modified wheel tubs along with the spring/inboard hanger setup. I just always thought this car looked cool and wonder what is actually under those cars during that timeframe.

Hi, I got a bad motor in my Durango and need some magnum advice. From what I'm seeing eq heads are hard to get. What are the current budget offerings? This won't be a high performance build, just as much as I can get out of a 318 with the factory 98 computer. What are some budget minded...

I'm thinking about putting together this engine: I have these parts: 360 unopened engine out of a 79 truck. Unknown miles. Some zollner/badger p290 +.020 pistons. Dont know any specs on these other than I think they are flat top with reliefs but I'm not sure. They are at the shop right now...

Ok, im getting parts for a budget rering smogger 360 with stock heads. Of course compression is low. I do have headers, hi rise dual plane, comp xe262 cam. I am strongly considering Rhodes superlube original lifters. I need to get a timing chain. What I want to know is, if I should look...

I recall reading a thread somewhere about hyd. FT lifters failing these days. Specifically from Comp. What's the deal on this? I have a comp xe262h cam I'm gonna be using soon and need to get new lifters. Going in a 78 360 block. I had planned on using Hughes 1110 springs and was gonna get...

Iirc there used to be a cheap, adjustable rocker for the la shaft mount rockers. Like a summit brand or something. I'm looking for something along the lines of the old 273 rockers. Cast iron non roller is ok. I want to say I remember something from summits house brand or something of that...

I'm not looking for exact numbers, just a general idea. This is low buck stuff here. I already have a few sets of magnum heads. And an intake. I'm not bringing the heads to the machine shop, or the short block. I'm taking a free short block and bolting free magnum heads on it. I have...

Me and my brother came to the conclusion that we have enough parts laying around to make a dart sport move on it's it' power if we had a converter. Here's what we have: Smogger two barrel 360. Torquefight 727. 323 gears. Some cop wheels with 295/50's Low rise dual plane Eddy intake. Shitty...

I am wanting to get a set of the Indy MAX, Magnum type heads with hydraulic roller beehive springs from Brian at IMM. The special he advertises. I want them because they seem to be a good deal and they can support upgrades in the future. But with all the other stuff going on I really cant...

EDIT: I found that I have nothing special, now I need advice on what to do, see below! Is this a 16:1 steering box? It is the steering box I got with my 73 dart sport. But IDK if its original or not. I am not too familiar with what was available and what not in 1973. I really dont care if...

Not looking for the ultimate steal, but the average going rate. What should I be looking to pay, excluding shipping, on a usable 20:1 manual box for my Dart Sport? Im trying to decide if its worth it to get one or if I should just go all out with a Firm Feel power steering unit. Money is...

I seem to have magnum heads coming out my ears, and I wanted to mess around with cutting spring pockets and valve seal location. I have been looking at a few different things, and for the costs it seems that its something I would want to try. What is the best spring seat OD to start off...

I need some help picking my seats for the upcoming race, need some experienced top fuel fans on this one. Figured there may be one or two of you on this forum!! :D So, I have seen fuel twice. But this is my boys first time. But I am gonna make it to where he can be at the fence at the...

Makes me want to build a poly. That's the most expensive valve covers I think I have ever seen. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Edelbrock-Polyhead-318-Alum-Valve-Covers-Dodge-Plymouth-Chrysler-Mopar-Vintage-/201486840044?hash=item2ee98d30ec:g:sc4AAOSwQiRUmhLg&vxp=mtr

some questions for the 4wd bunch, can anybody recommend a forum with some good info, not "whos got the best" info. Good info on building a good trail rig. Also, if anybody knows, I will be doing a 3 inch body lift. It works well with the durango. I also plan on 33x12.5 inch all...

MY build is a standard ole 318 magnum build. Eq heads, weiand action plus, carter 625, under 230 at .050 hyd roller. BUT, I have a forged crank and some scat I beam rods. But all the stuff that would make a good strong street 318. Nothing crazy. I am thinking about building a "stocker...

Right now I am planning my budget EQ head project. I have been looking over and over at Mopar Actions dirt cheap 360 build and thinking about some of the ideas they used on the heads. Ehrenberg used circle track springs Comps P/N 26975 springs which had a .920 ID. The EQ supplied heads...

I just brought home a 400 block with the intentions of building a 451 with a solid roller cam. The cyl bores are standard bore. I was planning on full machine work including lifter bore bushings. I got two questions. 1 Is this thing worth using? I really only need the block, so it...

Could this crank be bent from storing in this corner for three years?

OK, Been driving around in my toyota tundra with the overdrive off to see what I think about 3.91 gears on the street/highway. My trips are about 20 miles of 70 MPH driving. My truck rolls along at about 3200 RPM at 70MPH. IT has a VVTI V6 in it. My plans for my a body are a mild 318 with a...

I am trying to build a good signature under my posts so everybody will know what I am working with:

I scored a LA Roller 318 engine from my brother. I am planning on putting EQ heads on it, a Weiand Action Plus intake, Thermoquad, and regrinding the cam. I have a case, front pump, and input shaft out of a 904. I also have two A999 transmissions. The 8 1/4 rear end currently has an...

After searching with no luck, Will a Magnum timing cover work on an LA318 (roller cam TBI motor) with a LA318 center sump oil pan? That would allow the magnum serpentine setup. I can find all the info in the world for everything else, but not for putting a magnum front end on an LA...

Who is the "official" importer of the EQ heads. Or the RHS heads, OR THE DANG IRON, FLOW BETTER THAN MAGNUMS, CAN BE HAD WITH LA OR MAGNUM INTAKE BOLT SETUP, CAN USE STOCK MAGNUM VALVES, THE BANG FOR THE BUCK, 300 DOLLAR A PIECE BARE, heads? :D I am confused as to exactly who and where they...

I have his holley carb book, Porting heads book, and how to build horsepower book. His books seem to be very good, and make some sense. But I just wanted to ask if these books are "Good Books" or are they gonna lead me down the wrong path. I have read a few books over the years that...
