    340 or 360???

    I have had several small block early a body cars. The only problem I had with a 360 in a 66 valiant. The oil pan from a 273 wont fit on a 360 and the 360 oil pan didn't fit very well in front by the K member. I use a BFH and clearanced the oil pan as best I could...it still hit the K member and...

    318 build up

    I think if I was building a 318 and going to buy good pistons anyway I would spend the few extra bucks and buy a 4" crank for it.($400) Then its a 388 and no lack of torque. Otherwise I would build it just like rumnlefish360 suggested.

    i got a careless driving ticket today:(

    I use a cell phone if I have a business reason to have one, but I don't have a personal cell phone. How insecure or self important are you? Do you really need to be in touch with everybody 24 hours a day or are you so important that you need to be available no matter where you are.

    Headers

    I am working on a 65 valiant that will have a 400 in it. I have some Headman Elite b body headers that I am willing to cut up to make work. If that becomes too much of a mess I do have a set of HP manifolds I can use. Check out www.Bigblockdart.com for more info.

    I want to quit smoking

    I quit smoking a stage at a time. It worked well for me and I haven't smoked for 15 years. I was smoking all the time, work, school, driving, at home. I quit in stages. At first I stopped smoking in my car, it wasn't that hard to do and my car smelled better and didn't get as dirty so there was...

    swap 170 to 225? (FNG warning)

    I have made this swap in a friends 65 Valiant. Wwe were putting in a 66 engine so there wasn't the crank issue but the 225 is taller so when you try to bolt up the exhaust pipe it is moved up. On my friends car the exhaust hit something (don't remember what it hit) we cut the pipe below the...

    /6 performance parts and sites

    Check out Slantsix.org There is lots of info about upping the performance of a slant six. 4 bbl manifolds, headers/Dutra Duals, camshafts and big valves for the head. There have been a few that spray nitrous on a slant sit they take well up to about 125-150 hp with stock pistons. My friends...

    Rev limit of a S6

    I would have to agree, check out Slant six.org I did have a turbo on my slant six although I have recently taken it off. I had a T3/T4 hybrid. 50 trim compressor and .63 stage 3 turbine side. I never been so fast in a slant six car it easily went 135mph on the freeway with 3.23 gears. I blew...

    Bumper Recondition

    I have 3 bumpers from "The Bumper Boyz" I haven't been real thrilled by the quality of the chrome, 2 of the bumpers have been on the car for about a year and there is already signs of rust. Its probably worth paying the extra $80 for DG Custom Chrome or using Tri City plating.

    To Stroke, or not to Stroke

    I just put 3.91 stroke crank in a 400 block, its 470" The crank dropped right in with no grinding, any longer of a stroke and I would have had to do some grinding on the block. The rods 6.535" long and I used an off the shelf Keith Black piston. This is a street/strip engine so I wanted a...

    Cracked exhaust manifold

    I would have to agree an Arc welder and nickel rod, grind a V in the crack and drill the ends of the crack, although I heat the item in my BBQ before welding (350-400 degrees) then let it cool slowly as the charcoal burns its self out. Yum Yum BBQ manifolds no sauce needed.

    anybody using Sunpro Tachs?

    I have a small one in my 66 Valiant, it was a waste of money. The needle is so dampened it can't respond to my slant six revving up and its not accurate at all. It should be on your "do not buy list"

    273????

    I was going to use the 1985 318 swirl port heads on my 273 too, they are easy to find in the junk yard and have the same valve size as the 273. The casting number ends in 302. Its a closed chamber head and then you can use flat top pistons to get a good quench, its also very efficient (compared...

    Palin - McCain

    Yes it's been photoshopped. It's just liberals trying to discredit her. I think its sad that the liberals are giving her husband a bad time for getting a DUI 22 years ago when at the same time Obama was snorting coke.

    Engine swap

    Its a tight fit with the bulge on your firewall and the distributor on a small block. 64-66 cars don't have the bulge. Other than that its an easy swap.

    CRAZY is obama the antichrist MUST READ

    The bulletproof "Pope Mobile" didn't exist until a Muslim shot the Pope in 1981. Muslims have been at war with us for decades. I don't think Obama is a Muslim, but is a is a socialist. He all for bigger government and higher taxes. NO thanks the government gets enough on my money already.
