    Magnum heads on a 74' 318 LA

    Well, we did a '73 360 block with magnum heads and had some problems. Three sets of lifters (yes, all had hole in top to oil through pushrod) First set of lifters were Comp hydraulic rollers. No oil through pushrods, a couple drops, but that's it. Second set of lifters were Hughes Engines...

    Magnum heads on a 74' 318 LA

    The Edelbrock heads are good for .580 lift, and my cam is .574. We've done two sets of lifters, two set of pushrods, nothing bent or broken, but it's really noisy. I also just discovered he left the plug out behind the oil filter plate, so I was not getting filtration. Added the plug, but still...

    Magnum heads on a 74' 318 LA

    Sorry to hear about your wife.... I have a 73 LA360 with the Edelbrock heads, we did a roller cam (comp, .574 lift, hollow pushrods), SBC roller rockers (Edelbrock uses them for their heads) and I get little to no oil at the top end, and it's ridiculously noisy. Found out the builder missed a...

    Magnum heads on a 74' 318 LA

    Still running that LA with magnum heads? I've had a shop build a 73 360LA with Edelbrock magnum heads, and I have all kinds of problems with the lifters. Curious about the work you had done to the block ... can you be more specific? Thanks - tried to send a private message, mailbox was full.

    QA1 Six-Link Rear Suspension Conversion Installed

    haha...you're comparing apples to oranges - you'll never make the car look like that by drilling only four small holes in the frame rails, either. LOL Nobody ever claimed this was in lieu of tubbing the car so you can run 15-inch wide wheels. It's a coilover conversion that doesn't require...

    [Found!] Looking for 70-73 360 block in good condition

    We're building a stroker 360 for a project car and I'm looking for a good, rebuildable early 360 block. If you have one for sale please contact me. If it's a complete engine, I'd be interested if the price is reasonable... I only need the block so any rebuilt or modified I would not be...

    QA1 Six-Link Rear Suspension Conversion Installed

    Nob I didn't say stock size tire, I said stock set up (you know, stock leaf spring and stock width axle.)

    QA1 Six-Link Rear Suspension Conversion Installed

    Keep in mind that this kit is not designed for a standard, street use vehicle, this kit is designed for the person who wants to autocross or roadrace. You're right, you'd probably want a wider tire, but this doesn't give you less tire room, so whatever you're going to fit on a stock set up will...

    QA1 Six-Link Rear Suspension Conversion Installed

    We're going to do the front probably next week (K-member, control arms, dynamic links) and the built small-block is ready to go with a four-speed trans. The car should be done in a couple months, they're moving fast on it. Exhaust might be a side exit as they've done that on a Demon and liked...

    QA1 Six-Link Rear Suspension Conversion Installed

    I know they're using B body rear brakes, and are going to run a 17x7 inch wheel. This is more or less a replacement for a stock setup, so the axle can't be narrowed and you really can't fit anything bigger than what can fit on a stock rear suspension. Since it's a new kit, it's hard to say if...

    QA1 Six-Link Rear Suspension Conversion Installed

    We've been dying to install one of these to see how it goes, and we have a fresh 1967 Dart taking in the coilover setup. Check it out here. The front installation is next.

    My Interview with Bob Riggle - Hemi Under Glass

    Thanks... yes, a couple years ago I borrowed a Hellcat Challenger for a week, and last fall the Hellcat Charger, with reviews on both cars. What fun cars to have for a short time, gave me a newfound respect for them!
