    8&3/4 Axle questions

    well I tried the Universal Hub puller and it stripped the Lug studs on the drums and I broke my ange grinder the other day, but since I narrowing it anyway, cant I just cut (Plasma cut) where the housing flanges are welded on and hope the axles will pull out of the third member?

    well we just measure our reeds in inches of water, but yes humidity is bad for GHpipes, its not girgling that you hear its really bad out of tune notes. but I am stuck on the axle now the drums dont want to come off the axles and that means I cant get the tappered axles out so I think Im gonna...

    8&3/4 Axle questions

    Dont really want to go off topic but why do the reeds for by Great highland bagpipes are rated in inches of water rather than PSI? the mesurment used is a the discretion of the person doing the measuring, yes liquids are not compressable and gasses are but My example still stands.

    8&3/4 Axle questions

    Boost is actually Relative to the Compression ratio and how much heated air is produce and circlated through a Turbo at 9 to 1 CR with 12psi boost you get a effected CR of 16.06 to 1 and the restiction of the intake manifold is only amplified with the more you push through, the only restriction...

    Did I ever say I was going to put boost on my 361? I did not my original post was asking if the 741 case can handle the 400-425 HP that the 361 will produce after a overbore of .060 to bring the engine to 372ci for "hot street" use

    8&3/4 Axle questions

    But I'm not adding a turbo I'm giving an example of an archain idea of "there's no replacement for displacement"

    8&3/4 Axle questions

    Coming man you do know that the compression ratio of a motor decides the percentage per pound of boost, or are you still stuck in the 60' and 70's, a turbo or superchargers amount of added horse power is determined by how much PSI is added to a giving compression ratio, if a 9 to 1 C:R engine...

    8&3/4 Axle questions

    And with low compression pistons at 9 to 1 compression ratio for the original low compression 361 at 265 horsepower if I run a turbo giving 12 lb of boost that would be 760 something horsepower so the replacement for displacement is a turbo or a supercharger

    Removing Torsion Bars? and leaving them out?

    If its not a spring type device used to keep the front end up, where is the spring to do so? To me it acts as a"spring" to lift the front of a vehicle . Certainly its not a anti sway bar, and yes I want my B'Cuda to ride a little lower, its also for a comfort ride. I can't run shockwaves on the...

    Removing Torsion Bars? and leaving them out?

    correct me if Im wrong the torsion bar is just a different style "Spring" right, and as I remember torsion bar suspensions are only adequate for pickup trucks and not for road racing and euro cars dumped them only a few years after 1st using them.
