    Oh no that's the new Barney Rubble, Fred Flintstone braking system, it digs right in. I highly recommend it. You think that's cool, wait till you see the pterodactyl parachute system.

    The LA Motor "Block"

    One Man’s opinion, even though it’s Bob Glidden, it comes down to what Mr. Micrometer says, and your confidence level. I own one of Bob Glidden old Pro-Stock small block Mopar’s “and yes it’s complete” and you would be surprised what he did to that engine. Here is just one of the things he did...

    The LA Motor "Block"

    Sorry guys i seemed to have started something and left everyone hanging. I was asked by David a question about a street ride so I thought I would share it. Hi David, I am sorry I have not been around, but I am moving a house for my son and I have been like a one-legged man in Butt kicking...

    The LA Motor "Block"

    (Small Block Mopar) I get asked a lot of questions about the LA block so I thought I would answer it on line. First off there is a lot of opinions out there and there is defiantly many ways to skin a cat. "PETA" people are rolling there eyes right now, LMAO. OK, this is what I have learned about...

    Thanks rumblefish360 good advice yes agree that 13 and 14 seconds is like building a stout bottom end, good heads and intake then shake well. Leaves a lot of teaching to do when we upgrade

I am a football Coach in my home town and I see so many kid coming from single homes with no Dads, and the schools have killed the Industrial Arts programs, so there is no Shop class anymore .

    Thanks ....... I always like to hear from the Mopar Mafia before I call in and ask, Mopar guys usually give me the straight scoop I am going for mid 8’s / 5.70, to 8.90 / 6.0 this will mean I will need 500 to 550 mechanical horse power I use a duel plate Nitrous Express kit adjustable from 150...

    Hi guys, to say this conversation is a rarity for me is an understatement, I have been turning wrenches since I was 13 when I re-built my sister’s 225 slant six in her 72 challenger and I just turned 56. I spent my adult life in the Army and I use to race from one end of the country to the...

    340 8 bolt 3.51 crank

    I agree with JBurch you have it use it. You are looking at 365 CID with the .030 over block. Heck balance the rotating assembly, put in a purple shaft .484/ 284 cam maybe buy a small stall convertor and go have fun. Heck it should be fun to run, with good HP and TQ.

    my Low dollar 318 hop-up project

    I like this idea, and I think you can get 275 to 325 hp pretty easy out of this, even with low compression and less CID. I like your effort, maybe try looking from a poor kid angle, what I mean is look at the Seal Power stuff, Summit and Jegs who have low dollar cam kits, stock intakes...

    18,000 orig. mile 318 build

    None of this is intended to impugn your knowledge level, they are just suggestions. This is how I would approach this 318 if I did not a lot of money. You can look though craigslist or ask around to other motor heads to find a stock cast iron 4 barrel intake for $50 or sometimes even free. The...

    MP 557/296 small block cam, advance or straight up

    And as far as heads go NO, I can by after markets for $400 to $500 for a set for the street, cost me less than fixing the old stuff. And as for something I am going to try to turn over 7500 rpm I would not even think twice about it, I by new. This doesn’t mean you or anyone else...

    MP 557/296 small block cam, advance or straight up

    With the nickel content in a season block yup, crank after magnaflux testing and .010 and under yes rocker (that were manufactured to run at max rpm of 5500), rods, pistons, NO, micro cracks and weight is the reason. Besides I am trying you reduce rotating drag, enemy number one for engines is...
