    Besides the Ford Contour option, does any vendor sell a turn key electric fan option for a stock type 22" radiator (KKS 3-row aluminum)? Running a 408 550hp in a 72 Swinger.

    Need recommendations for a capacitive discharge ignition box. Going in a 408 / 550hp / 12:1 / E85 / max 7,000 rmp street driven 1972 Dart with current factory electronic ignition. I'm very familiar with all the MSD offerings but have heard not flattering opinions on those.

    Roller rockers 1.6 no needle bearings affordable

    Does anyone make an affordable (less than $600) 1.6 adjustable roller rocker without needle bearings? The Comp Pro Magnums only come in 1.5, PRW has needle bearings, Hughes are expensive for my needs (around .600 lift solid FT) and I have heard questionable reviews on the Harland Sharps.

    SB Cam Thrust Plate P5249637 no longer made? Only tensioner now?

    It seems as though the powers that be think the chain tensioner is mandatory now. Is there a reason a guy can't just buy a new small block cam thrust plate (P5249637) instead of a chain tensioner? Looks like the Mopar Performace version is even hard to find. I could only find the Mancini...

    Bloomer Performance not making cranks with Mopar rod journals (updated title)

    I had reached out to Rod and inquired about a stroker kit 360/408 and he advised he would not be making SBM cranks anymore and is focusing on SBC. Disappointing, but he has a business to run and those heads may have been the last straw.

    I ordered a M302 pan and M301-1 pickup for my 360 LA. All the advertisement pictures represent the pan to be black and the pickup to be anodized. The pan arrived silver and the pickup grey. Any thoughts on if Kevko changed their painting scheme or if I was sent the wrong pan? They sell an...
