Called CSR (Formerly CSI), it is one of there pumps from pre-1998. Looks like I get to buy a new water pump before this weekend. Anyone have any thoughts on Meziere, CSR, or CVR for the big blocks?

400 Big Block.

All, have an odd part that came on our car when we bought it and now it is failing. It is a water pump adapter that has two block adapter and an anodized tube that runs between them. That tube has an adapter for the upper radiator hose. It adapts a chevy water pump to the block with the...

Thanks everyone for the advise. I will get the shafts backed off this weekend. Thanks again!

How are you guys backing off the shafts without warping them? I must be missing something cause I am confused. Maybe I need another lesson in installing the shafts as we'll. are you torquing them down with the pushrods in place and using the bolts to compress the springs while you torque them down?

Big Mechanical, I backed them off last night. Are you guys pulling the shafts all the way off? When I backed them off it did relieve all the pressure.

Up for discussion, back the valves off or leave them and rotate engine every week. Putting the dart up for the winter and wanted everyone's thoughts.

I am curious to know what "ma Snart" gets for mileage with that. With my 2010 1500 and the v-nose 20' I average 10.5. That is with the 3.92s and air bag helpers on the back.

We just downsized from a 40' gooseneck to nothing yet. We had a dragster so the length was needed but I rented a 20' V-nose to go pick up the dart and it had room to spare but not much. Personally I don't think the V-Nose helped mileage at all and have heard theories that the increased frontal...

I really want to get an oil temp gauge installed for safety and I am switching over to methanol this winter and will need. Were do you guys install the oil temp probe on these motors?

The guy I bought the car and motor from finally sent me the engine builders name and number. Apparently he is a Mopar Top Sportsman racer so I am going to call him and find out the details on why clearances he built it for. Thanks for all of the replies.

explain yourself on the line size. Presure is presure, shouldn't matter what size the line is.

1970 Dodge Dart 451" w/ 400 block Indy 440-1 14:1 Compression BME Aluminum Rods Ladder Bar with 14-32s Car Weighs 3080. 727 w/ 3500 stall Car was built to run 10.0 class but has done a best of 9.79.

We have always ran vr1 20w50 in all of the big blocks we have raced as well. Another question: with the indy head oiling lines coming out of the rear of the block where can I install an oil temp gauge? I am switching over to alcohol over the winter and want to be able to monitor oil temperature.

it has a system 1 reusable filter so it is not going to do that. I am really not that concerned about how fast it is as it is a bracket car. Just don't want to have to worry about drive gear and cam.

that is what I was thinking but they guy we bought it from said that was normal from when he had the motor built. I am going to give the engine builder a call this afternoon and get the scoop from him.

Quick question: bought a used 451" motor that is fully race prepped. I won't go into specifics but when started and cold it pegs out the oil pressure gauge at over 110PSI. Typically it is still running over 80 psi at the finish line. Is this normal and adequate. Even when I didn't turn the fan...

The block is half filled with hard block, BME Aluminum Rods, around 15.5:1 compression with mild ported -1s. Not sure on power but runs 9.80s at 3080lbs in a ladder bar dart. Not sure what exactly the cam is either, builder won't spill the beans.

You need to switch over to B-1s to feed 540". Don't get me wrong the -1s are great and I am using them on a 451 myself but I would go B1 if i wanted to add cubes.

Hey guys sorry work got busy last week. I checked the connection between the steering wheel and the tires and everything is tight on the ground. I moved the wheel not more than 5° and the tires seemed to respond with that little input. It feels like it has a quick ratio steering box in it but I...

will have to pull a front wheel and take a look tonight.

where is a good place to start looking, we just got away from running a seven second dragster to going back to a door car. When we were running our original roadrunner I was too young to remember anything about the torsion setup and my dad's buddies would set everything up in the front end.

Ok, we just purchased a new to us 1970 Dart drag car. I am an experienced drag racer and couldn't pass up this car but I have only found one issue: the steering at the big end of the track. Even when loading the car and driving it around the pits I notice a lot of steering wheel wander (turn...
