I am going to look at an aluminum case OD A833 with the long tail shaft that has both forward and rear mounting pads (B&E). I full intend to rebuild it, but other than the countershaft to case play, and "obvious" internal/external damage, what are some thing to look out for?

I have a question about port shape. Watching Vizard, he mentions the "ideal" port shape can be represented by a long horn/cone shape, I forget which. The problem is we have valves in the way which means we have ports that are "curved" which is not ideal. The question then, is the general goal...

Ordered some 11340G gaskets from Holley which were stuffed into the box like this. It appears the material on the side I can see has small wrinkles in it. Is this something to worry about? Seems like the jackwad that packed them could have easily folded the other end (package top) and avoided...

What are some parts still available over counter at dealerships. I asked about R/T heads, crate cams etc but came up short. Seems I saw a list somewhere but can't find it now.

I finally had my leaking cylinder rebuilt and ready to reinstall on to my lift. Got me thinking and I have decided to clean out the hydraulic lines to eliminate the potential for something inside, causing a premature seal failure. I bought the lift used and didn't clean them when I installed it...

I've seen prices from $200 at gov auctions for old model 645's to $4K on fleabay for newer, complete, ready to go units. What is a realistic price range and what should be included? What should I look out for as far as acceptable minimums in operation and what's included?

Looking for either good drawings with all applicable dimensions or a dxf file showing the small and big block exhaust ports and bolt holes for modeling header flanges.

I am hoping someone near San Antonio has some junk (or not) magnum heads laying around that they want to get rid of. I want to start learning to port heads and don't really want to practice on anything useful.

I know where I can buy a B&D valve seat grinder which appears complete for about $200, but I've seen plenty of people using the carbide cutters as well. So the question is simply which one would you go for and why? To be clear, I am interesting in learning to port which will include building a...

So, like a dummy, I lost my wallet last night, which sucked but hey. Last time I lost a wallet, I was snorkeling off the coast of Okinawa many moons a ago. Best case, someone found it and would decide to return it. Worst cast, they'd take the cash and toss the rest..... Nope, there was a third...

Which would it be? The reason I ask is this. My father and I didn't start speaking until a few years ago just before I turned 50, and though he claims to not be checking out until he's 120 or so, I'd rather plan ahead and go on a road trip that will create some good memories for us both...

Get ready peanut gallery, free fodder .... This is actually a serious question. What is the difference between the stainless ptfe lined braided hose in the plumbing department and the stainless ptfe line braided hose sold for fuel? other then price and intended use?

This guy is making an intake for a BOSS 302 but man this is cool!

As the title says, just from looking at the specs, and AN10 (5/8) bolts, they aren't as hard as G8 and are closer to G5 by design. They apparently will bend more which make sense since they aren't as hard which would better for high fatigue applications (aircraft etc), but holy cow. A 2.5 inch...

Ok, been looking for a 318/5.2L .432 roller cam to put into a 5.9 ever since I read about them to get a little extra something out of an otherwise stock setup. As I understood it, these were PRE magnum cams. So, I pulled one from a 85 5th ave and it measures 0.390 (.260 x 1.5).... ?? Are the...

My limited understanding of cam selection is you want to match the cam to the heads. I know there is more to it, but was wondering, since velocity is so important according to many people, whom I agree with , how that ties in if at all. In other words, is velocity taken into account at all...

So, I finally started building my AMD "style" chassis jig, which is no where near as strong as a proper frame jig I know. Well, I got to thinking after seeing those "pull systems" that use floor anchor pots, how might they be of use and I think I could use them in a few spots, including...

It comes with great sadness that Tony Richards, of MoPower Masters has passed. If you knew Tony and his family at all, you can't help be to feel a loss. The Richards are a fantastic example of a strong family based on a solid foundation of good core values... To his wife and son, I wish peace...

Something I've always wondered when considering valve jobs etc, is how to determine the proper depth of cut etc. how do you decide, other than the width of the cut, how far into the seat to cut, make them all the same etc? Not looking to do my own, just a point of curiosity.. Thanks in advance.

Ok, hear me out... I can't recall how many times we have seen a post about how the next generation of MoPar nut cases are awesome and we all support it etc. I get really excited when I see those threads and see how involved the kids are with the builds. I think everyone will agree. We, who...

I'm looking for a roller cam from a pre-magnum 5.2 (.432 lift) to put in our 5.9. Anyone got one laying around?

Not mine, but I thought I'd pass this along. One never knows what weird "hobbies" other folks are into so here it is. If you're looking for that elusive bug/bus part, these folks just might have it. https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/ptd/d/lampasas-bug-acres-total-liquidation/7286347907.html

6.1 out of a JGC, other than that, it is what it is. Bought this to go into my 70 Cuda', but ran into a deal on a newer 6.4 so I'm going with that instead. Has a spun bearing, but the crank should clean up. One of the valve covers is damaged but they will go with it for protecting the heads if...

Ok, some background... I'm about as ADD as you can get as an adult and still function :). Well not THAT bad but I tend to forget where I put my 3/8" socket as much as my collection of 10mm. I have committed myself to straightening up my shop so it's actually usable and not a cluttered mess...

Anyone have you got a roller you upgraded from just sitting around? Nothing crazy but looking to wake our stocker 5.9 and have some fun. ideally, I'm now looking for the pre-magnum 5.2 cam with .432 lift. Not interested in stock magnum cams, but "mild" aftermarket would be nice. Something I...

Working on distributors lately has got me wondering what the "go to" budget distributor is (id one exists) that's not stock. I've seen the MP units and they seem pretty affordable, but I've also read about a "bad batch" made by accel at some point. other than that the only complaint I've seen...

Looking for a good way to clean oxidation off the outside of a distributor. Got a couple to play with from the salvage yard and they are pretty rough on the outside. Surprisingly clean on the inside.

Looking for a set of good magnum heads to recondition as well as a few junk ones to practice porting on and experiment with. Junk yards around here want 50-75 per w/core charge. Anything close by?

My son, whom I've been working on a 65 Valiant for the last couple of years, leaves for boot camp today. Several of you have seen me make reference to his leaving and our goal to get his car rolling, running and stopping before that happens. Although it's nowhere near done, we were able to...
