Any good Scotch drinkers online tonight? I just tapped into a bottle of Johnny Walker Black and am pretty impressed. I have to say i dont think its as good as a Glenlivet 12 year but pretty damn close.

Man I love old license plates. It turns out they make great heat shields. I made these two over the last couple weeks just for the hell of it. Ours in South Carolina aren't stamped so they're nice and flat and easy to work with. I've got about an hour in making both of them. I cut them out...

Have any of you guys ever restored an old Snapper rear engine mower? I'm picking one up from my brother tomorrow morning and think it will be a fun little project. Post some pics if you've got some.

Trying to get all the kinks worked out since dropping in the 383. Kickdown is adjusted and working great and I'm getting full throttle with the pedal but when i take off keeping the pedal on the floor the car will shift around 4600. It seems awful low for a 383 and was just wondering if I...

All right fellas. My wife and I are starting to seriously talk about moving back north. I'm from PA and she's from Long Island originally. I moved down here to go to Clemson in 98 and have been working down here since graduating in 02. I/We have had just about enough of this damn heat (93...

The 383 is running great- I think I've finally got most of the bugs worked out. It was about 85 degrees here today and it stayed right at 190 degrees running around with my dad this morning. After the engine is hot the idle oil pressure is about 25 to 30 pounds and driving around at about 2000...

All right guys I need a few ideas. I swapped a 383 in place of the old slant and kept the column shift. I used trans dapts conversion mounts and Schumcher headers. I have a slight clearance issue with the shift linkage hitting the header when trying to shift into anything lower than drive. I...

Well I got the exhaust on today and wanted to take it for a spin and noticed before I got it in gear that it seems to have a miss that doesnt start until a little over 2000 rpm. Idles smooth and comes off idle well but seems to feel like a rev limiter is kicking in. I dont remember doing it...

Well, the 383 is in and running but I've got what I think is a vent line from the fuel tank and dont know what to do with it. Its kind of bothering me just sticking up in the air looking at me. Does anyone know what I should do with it or at least where I should connect it? Thanks

is it necessary to seal the threads on the head bolts on a 383? I have a slight coolant leak and think that may be where its coming from.

Well, I'm getting things buttoned up on the 383 but today I noticed I have a little coolant leaking from the back corner of the passenger side head. I dont think its the header studs- it looks like its coming out from b/w the block and head. I guess I need to re-torque the heads or should I...

Putting the big block 727 in I noticed that it has a single post for the Neural Safety Switch and the harness from the 904 I took out has a 3 prong connector. Can I crimp on a round connector to the single post and worry about the reverse lights later so I can crank this thing? Second...

Well, I think I'm gonna try to wrestle my 727 in today and was wondering how much fluid to put in the torque convertor before I put it in. Also, I read that an empty tranny will take around 10 qts of fluid, what type are you guys running? Thanks!

Well, I thought my brackets would work but I dont know what I took them off of. I need the 2 piece set to bolt my Saginaw pump to a 383. The set I have is 3 pieces with the largest one that bolts to the water pump and to the block just below the head. The cap on the resevoir is real close to...

All right guys. Tomorrow is the day I sit the 383 in for the last time. I would like to know the proper way to put in a dist as far as #1 at top dead, etc, and what needs to line up or point to what after that. Thanks for the help.

What are you guys doing for a throttle cable when swapping a slant for a big block? It seems like mine is going to be a little too long.

I bought this helmet a few years ago and literally wore it once. Its a beautiful helmet but I didnt like the fact that I couldnt see very well out of it. I paid a little over $175 with tax so I would like to get $100 shipped to the lower 48. Size is Large and it is still in the cloth carrying...

I need a bracket for the shift linkage that bolts to the drivers side of a BB 727 for the pivot shaft. I cant seem to find one online anywhere but I figure someone here's got one. Thanks

Well, I had one but dont know where the hell it walked off to. I need a crank pulley for the 383. At least 2 groove. Thanks!

Yup, I need a slip yoke for my 727 tranny. Let me know what you got. Thanks,

All right, the 383 is coming together and I would like to know what kind of horsepower and torque you guys think she'll make. Always curious to see what some of you guy who have been doing this much longer than me think. Thanks in advance! 1970 383 HP Block bored .030 KB 162 pistons...

Is there a market for any of this stuff? I pulled the slant from my dart (52000 miles) and I have had 4 people not show when they said they would to take it and my patience is at an end. I really hate to scrap it and dont expect to get much for it and would rather part it out to someone who...

Hey fellas. Anyone have a distributor hold down clamp laying around for my 383? Let me know if you want to make a few bucks! Shoot me a PM if you've got one. Thanks

Whats the best way of removing exhaust studs. I've got about 8 of them sticking out of my 452 heads and would like to get them out. Thanks in advance!

Car of the month- way to go dude. Or did someone already post this and I just missed it? http://www.cuda-challenger.com/

I am in need of a harmonic balancer bolt for a 383 forged crank. The bolt should measure 1.25 inches long. Thanks in advance!

I was installing the harmonic balancer on the 383 this morning (forged crank) and noticed that the retaining bolt bottoms out before the balancer is seated all the way in. It will only pull the balancer in to barely reaching the timing tab on the cover. Could it be that I have a bolt for a...

What do you guys think I can expect to pay for a 727 core and a decent rebuild? The 383 should make around 400 horse and I would guess around 440 foot pounds or so. I just want the tranny to shift a little firmer than stock and will probably go with around a 2400-2600 stall convertor. Cores...

I've responded to one thread already but I'll start a new one. I need an oil pan and pickup for my 383 going in my 71 dart (187 or 699 I believe). If you could include shipping to 29650 in your price that would be great. Oh, and if you have the bolts for it too that would be a plus. I went...

Was wondering if the steel valley pan gasket was enought to seal an Edelbrock Performer 383 manifold to the heads or if yall recommend using additional gaskets to help it seal??? Any insight is appreciated.
