https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19990019483.pdf I was researching hypereutectic pistons and this came up. I found it fascinating. A few interesting facts. Smog is primarily unburnt fuel. Unburned fuel comes almost entirely from the little crevice between the piston and...

I have a 408 stroker in the works. I went with a re-ground cam. Saves cash at around $150 plus shipping vs $350 for new, plus I can reuse my distributor gear. Here are the specs from Ken at Oregon Cam Grinders #1357 230/236 @ .050”, 284/290 adc, .515”/.515” lift (1.6:1 rocker), 108 sep As you...

It bugs me looking at my old build thread, having to click on each icon to see the pics. Anyone go through and replace them with the actual pics?

So how do you locate your favorite threads, like your own build thread quickly? Might be obvious, just not seeing it.

I have a mopar one with tag 4145753. But its got dual pickups which seems odd. Google says its mid 80s vintage. Its so rusty I'd rather not use it anyway. I know there are a few variants with different curves etc but not sure how to choose. I plan to get one with vacuum advance, not sure it will...

From another thread, I asked how the machine shop decides on a piston. We've determined I need somewhere in the 23 to 25 cc dish to arrive at 9.5 to 10:1 compression on a 408 stroker. He wants pistons there before boring to 0.30 over. Got this reply and I understand it except how is deck height...

This is kind of a sticking point in planning this build. Szilagyi in "How to Build Big inch..." states that the stock Magnum rockers are good to about .0525" lift. I don't really see the need to go bigger. My non-ported RHS heads don't flow better above 0.500" lift. And I'm building a street...

In my research for building a 5.9 into a 408 stroker, I read that the 340 is a preferred production engine for a stroker build due to its large bore and thick walls that can take a .040 overbore to make a 418 stroker. This reference (How to Build Big-Inch Mopar Small Blocks) suggests that...

My project keeps changing. After being mothballed for a few years, I've gone from planning a "junkyard magnum" to doing a stroker. For those who want to see more detail on the project it is here with a post titled "The Frog Wants to be Stroked": Project Frog Princess I have RHS heads from IMM...

Just looking over my old but just unboxed heads, noting some variance in valve tip heights. Can anyone help with what is an acceptable variance?

This was one of the projects I had to complete before getting back to the Dart. I have to say, last winter was awesome, blowing snow in a T-shirt in a cab at 70 plus. Definitely one of my most worthwhile projects. I detailed everything in a youtube how-to.

Ran across this the other day and had to take a pic as I don't believe I've ever seen one.

I've been browsing Craigslist on and off not sure what I wanted when I saw this one. 1/4 mile test ride on a cold day and I was hooked. Bought it for $3200. Seems to be about right based on Kelly Blue book but I was somehow surprised I could pick up a Harley this nice for that. Its a 92 with...

Its the discount they promised based on Seahawks points. Everything but tools. Car parts in inventory included. I stopped in and stocked up on a few things.

Sure would be cool to see some real home grown American ingenuity become a game changer. http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060227/FREE/302270007/1023/THISWEEKSISSUE

I'm on their email list but never see discount codes. Wondering if they still do them? Need Dougs or TTI headers and hoping to catch a little break.

I'm using leaf springs from a 1973 340 Duster, thinking R & L are different, wondering how I tell them apart. I do know if there's more springs on one side, the side with more goes to the right. Anything else I should know? Just trying to get a jump on this before I go crawling around under...

I never fully understood the terminology... hardtop, sedan, post car, etc. I found this to be an interesting read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardtop Some of the most interesting parts: I found the origin of the vinyl top particularly interesting. Here's clarification on the term...

These were taken today on the Snake river. King salmon right here in Idaho. Amazing they run 900 miles to get here. Kinda fun playing with the images with an iphone app.

Check your local wreckers and craigslist, make something on the re-sale.

Found this on a Ford forum. Wondering if this will work for the lifters in a 5.9 Magnum. Images did not copy. Here's the link: http://sbftech.com/index.php?topic=57.0

These are a rebuilt set that came off a 98 truck that was rolled. It had 78,000. I've forgotten what he said the mileage was when the rebuilts were put on. The seller did say it was running perfectly. I'm selling them because my plan is to build "the junkyard 5.9 Magnum" with upgraded heads...

These came off a 5.9 Magnum that will be getting a set of RHS heads for my project. They are a reman head, mileage uncertain as I'm not sure when in the 78,000 mile life of the truck they were installed. With 2.0 reading glasses and a magnifying glass I was able to detect cracks between the...

I thought he was going to drain my pond :)

I rebuilt my 73-up front suspension for my Dart project, then decided I'd like to upgrade to a custom front suspension so I'm putting it all up for sale. It was pulled from a 73 Dart Sport with a 318. The parts had no significant rust pitting or damage. Everything was sandblasted and given 2...

I've completely rebuilt my 73 k member, control arms and struts. New ball joints, moog offset bushings, LCA bushings, and strut bushings. Everything was sandblasted. K welded up with skid plate and tow hook. LCAs tightened and reinforced. 2 coats of POR 15. I also have a rebuilt steering box...

I'm about to weld perches onto my 8.8 diff. This is being done before the engine and tranny are in and I want to get my pinion angle roughly set. I've read a bunch of threads and articles. I've not found what I need to do it. What I need to know is the typical angle between the engine/tranny...
