So there is a 440 on craigslist that I spoke with the owner about, it is from a 77 RV, it has 902 casting heads, I have heard of 906's of course, but what's the scoop on 902's? I am sure it is a low compression work horse, and reportedly has low miles. From what I'm told the motor mounts from...

I'd give my eye teeth for a chance at a car like that... It will be a fearsome street machine with some love and some time. Man, they just don't have backyard finds in San Jose like that. At least not that I can find, and I been tryin for years.

My duster is running again, and it's all thanks to Greg from berkeley, jomoper, and Big D from South San Jose, after going thru three different setups I got it right last night and drove the car, smooth as can be, and I have to give some credit where credit is definitely due. I have enough parts...

Well, there are definitely some differences between different 7.25 rear ends. The broken one I have has a five bolt flange and takes 10" brakes, the other one has four bolt flange and 9" brakes, and none of it will interchange, of course. And, you can't redrill the 10" backing plates to work on...

I have BBP axles that should slide right in, I pm'd you guys, I appreciate your help so, so much! I have SBP rims and tires too just in case. Either way it will be moving again and I am grateful!

No worries little brother, I know you, you'll find a better deal. Good guy alert, this guy, Dustya 383, gave me valves for my 302 heads, for free, with a phone call, he even picked me up. I've known this guy since he used to play with my son and he deserves a good deal. If you want I'll keep my...

Here ya go, this was once part of a spider gear. Should I just weld them for now? run a spool? I think I would prob snap an axle, the way this thing is built. My friend said DON'T DO IT but at this point whats the worst that could happen? Wait, don't answer that. I figured it out. :mumum:

I need an 8 1/4 or 8 3/4 for my duster asap, I blew my 7 1/4. I am in San Jose, ca. Please let me know what you have, I just need my car to run. Thanks!

I'm lookin for anything that will work, guys, an 8 3/4 preferably but will take 8 1/4 if only for now, I need the car to run. My landlord will have a s**tfit if he see's the duster parked. Anyone who can help, I have alot of great parts and cash.

I have Dunlap 265/50's in the back, that didn't help I'm sure. No, it didn't rev free. I have a rev limiter anyway, set at 5500 right now for break in. Its gonna be an ordeal, I looked on craigslist and there's nothing I can afford. Great.

Ya mine is a 318, too, and I was going around a corner at a stop light, I wasn't even really on it. Just a little. I'm on the hunt now, anyone in nor cal got a rear end?

The new engine isn't even broken in yet, barely 250 miles, I have never even pushed it passed 5000-5200 rpm yet,and I was just leaving a stopligt on santa teresa here in san jose and I heard a snap-ting! sound, and I drove it back home, it was a loud sound, very loud, I heard it twice more and...

While I have the headers loose I was thinking about packing JBweld around the pipe plugs to really seal them, do you think JBweld can take really high temps?

Angle wrench? what do you mean? an offset open end? a wobbler open end? I don't have any of those, actually, but I'll buy one if I have to, I want it sealed tight.

Thanks a million, man, I'm on it. Do you rtv the end bolts?

The tubes! And the firewall at the back, and the steering box on the side, there just aint no way to get in there. Twelve point? I'm gonna try it. I have regular hex bolts on it now. That must be the reason. Do you have extra long ones for the outermost holes on each end? Cause I had water...

I broke in the new engine today, there were a few challenges gettin it all sewed up and running but I got it! It runs good. Pulls hard! For a 318 it will suprise the crap out of you.. So here's the question: How do you get the last two header bolts on the driver side tight enough? I got an...

well, I aint got much grill left to speak of anyway, ha! Consequences from when I lived a harder lifestyle, you know. I got the old engine out yesterday, and the new one in, and I am NEVER pulling a small block without pulling the tranny with it EVER again! It was easy to get the old one out...

I bought a craftsman valve spring compressor and was putting some Isky toolroom springs on my 302's, they are a single spring with a damper. They bent the valve spring compressor. Has this happened to any of you? Now the heads are on, but I want to replace the valve seals, I got some new ones...

Strip dominators are awesome! I gave my M1 to my brother, but I have the holley sitting on my engine right now till I can pull the performer off my other block. Very cool intake. Too bad I can't really use it's potential, with only a 270 cam. I was gonna use some 340 heads on my 318 but I talked...

I have TRW pushrods pn# 48814 and the only length I can find listed is 7.492 hydraulic with adjustable rockers. My calipers aren't big enough to measure these right, I am concerned because the length listed by comp cams for their pushrods for this applicaion is 7.389. So, which is correct? Do...

The cylinders had good compression when run last, so I checked close for any scoring, things are good. Light hone and good to go. Put it all back together. New bearings, plastiguage, torqued to 95 on the mains, 45 on the rods. .0004-.0006 tolerance. Good. Installed the new melling high volume...

I am installingthe cam advanced a few degrees, so bottom end should be plentiful. The runners on the 302 heads are small but they have been cleaned up pretty well, and are ported to the size of the ports of a cast 360 intake. They were going to be run on a 360 and I convinced them that my 340...

Found cracks in the saddles around the cam bearings and in the oil galley, and valley area. So, I got another block today. This is what I am putting together this week. 1972 318 .030 over with KB silvolite pistons -4 valve reliefs, .068 in the hole New durabond bearings thru out...

I don't have a welder. And, I don't want to mess up my heads, I'm pretty good with a mig in industrial applications, have several hundred hours welding angle iron, galv and mild steel, but these are my babies, you know? I want them perfect... Hey, have you ever noticed how optimistic camquest...

mine are threaded...? I guess I'll just have to carefully try different bolts til I find it.

Can someone tell me the correct size plug screw to buy to plug the little outlet below the exhaust port on 302 heads? I want to get the right ones, also, what material should they be? Iron, stainless, bronze? Thanks guys.

It was ground by Cal Cams, numbers are 275-10-S 31A with the initials TJ. The solid lifters had an extra deep oiling groove, like REALLY deep. 1/4 inch or more. It is in great shape and was supposed to be pretty big. I'd like to find the spec's but I googled cal cams and all that came up were...

Awesome! That makes me HAPPY! No, they are not new. The rod and main bearings are though, right on! Thank you so much! That's what I needed to know.
