Hey All, The first set of collars I got from Tony's was defective. The casting was warped. Tony's replaced it, refunded return shipping and made it right. This is the replacement set. They are good castings. I wish I had thought to take a pic before I started in on them. They required a small...

Hey All, I've always used aircraft form a gasket on freeze plugs. It has never let me down. The machinist that did my block recommended red locktite. I have plenty of that down in the shop too. Anyone here ever use it and prefer it? He builds some pretty wild dirt track engines. It must...

I need to get a bumper for the front of my Val this year at Carlisle. I remember the bumper dealer called "The Bumper Boyz", but there is another one I've seen in the past and I cannot remember the name. Can anyone tell me who it was and if they still go to Carlisle? Thanks, CE

Hey All, I noticed that the oil hole in my #1 cam bearing isn't quite lined up with the feed hole. The bearing is flush on both sides of it's bore so the hole in the block must be off a bit. Should I try to go down the hole in the block with a long drill and open up the hole in the bearing...

Hey All, Putting a magnum 360 in the 68 Val. The val's original 273 was/is painted mopar red. The 360 mag was black. I was thinking to keep the red, but my engine is going to retain the serpentine acessories and eventually will be an EFI engine. Maybe that'd look better black...

Hey All, Anyone have pictures of how much and what they ground off their Magnum engine, insofar as the truck motor mounts are concerned? Do I grind all three pads down to the block on each side or what. I don't have headers for this thing yet (or heads on it for that matter) so I can't mock...

Just bought some Meguiars glass cleaner and it smells disgusting. Exactly like the urinal cakes in any mens room. Gross. I marked the bottle "external glass only" with a sharpie on every surface. Really, who wants their interior to smell like a highway rest stop??? And on that topic why does...
