What grit flex hone is best for re-ring jobs? I see Flex Hone has 120, 240, 320, 400 and even 600 grit hones, and different materials. I have used the silicon carbide, but I wonder if there's a better way. Thanks in advance

First race for me is Friday, and its snowing to beat all, haven't even got to the track yet. Hope my junk is consistant at least. Whole new combo, I have no idea what its going to do. I was going to take it up for T&T tonight, I guess thats out of the picture. Gotta love Colorado weather!

Marriot Denver west, anybody register for racing season? At least we're getting close! If you don't drag race, maybe try it this year. Club Clash is all about fun, not too much nonsense. 10.50 breakout, mostly street cars.

66340SEDAN helped me out of a jam, thanks again Keith. Folks like him are why this is such a great forum.

I have the 8-3/4 sure grip, dana powr-lok style. It has 2 thick & 1 thin clutch plate per side. The rebuild kit only comes with thick clutch plates, and says to re-use the thin plates. My thin plates have the ears broken off them. So, what happens if I use all thick plates in this type of...

I need 2 of the thin clutch plates for a 8-3/4 power-lock sure grip. I broke the tabs off mine. Thanks, Jeff

I know edelbrock says thier springs allow max .575 lift, but with different springs, how much lift can you get? .650 lift before hitting guides? I plan to have them ported, and am looking at cams. Or can you get enough flow at .650 or so to use that much lift?

My friend has a 71 demon 340 with front drums, and she wants power discs on the car. I believe they are 10", haven't checked. I piece-mealed my 66 front disc conversion about 7 years ago to the 73-up single piston setup, and it was tough to find the parts then. I was wondering if anyone has a...

It's this Sunday! Anybody going?

Suggestions for good , leak free valve covers that would have the breather/oil hole in the front on the drivers side of the engine. Moroso, eddy elite and old Mopar blue stamped aluminum have all been leakers or won't clear hughes roller rockers. What has worked for you?

I took the plunge and bought the tti early a headers to replace the Doug's I had on the car. The tti fitment is not as good as the Doug's. Even though my crank centerline was the 4-3/4" required by the instructions, I still had to shim the pass. side motor mount 1/4" to clear the idler arm. So...

were there 2 sizes? I have a 7290 26 spline that is new and it is too big too engage the splines on my 904, which is out of a 73 coronet/318. I think the 727 had 29 splines if I remember correctly. Maybe someone can clear this up.

Anyone going? The Dart will not be there, but I will be there selling some small block parts. I have a set of Harland Sharp rocker arms, KB pistons/Eagle rods that are part of a balanced 360 rotating assembly, and other small block parts. I will be in my blue 96 Ranger(my new drag car until the...

What is the best way to kill the engine with the battery cut off switch for tech? The alt keeps the engine running, so should I use a relay to interrupt the field wire? Or the msd ground wire? I've been fudging this at tech every year but I want to fix it right. Thanks in advance.

Comp has a solid lifter p/n 2901 that oils the cam face through a .010 or so hole. It loooks like a good idea for a flat tappet cam, but it also oils the pushrod cup for pushrod oiling the rockers. How do these work on an LA engine? Any oil leakage issues with solid pushrods? Thanks in advance.

I am looking to upgrade my upper control arms to tubular. CAP is not being considered. The PST and magnumforce look the same. Anyone have experience with these? Are there others to consider? I have the 73-up disc setup on my 66, and I am looking for more caster. I already used the offset...

Anyone using Mopar Performance cast aluminum valve covers with Harland Sharp Rockers on a small block? Don't want to order them online if they won't clear, but I am tired of my sheet metal Moroso covers and want to replce them. Thanks in advance!

Anyone have any experience with these disc brake kits? I have seen thier ads in MCG and I need to install front discs on a 63 B body. Any other kits or recommendations?

For my 408, which will be 11.9 compression, eddy heads, 244/252@.050 solid with 540 lift, 3.91 gears, 3000 converter and 750 mech sec. I am aiming for 6000-6200 trap rpm and about 450 hp @ 5800' altitude. The rpm air gap works well on the 360 and 318 engines I have had in this car, I am aiming...

I am about to purchase a ATI super dampner and was wondering if the stock front cover and pulley will bolt up. Catalog says it is .150 thicker but details a little confusing. I don't want to change a whole bunch of stuff just to use the dampner. Any advice?

Does anyone know if the Mopar cast or new Eddy cast valve covers will clear the Harland Sharp rockers? I have been running the stamped Moroso covers, but I don't like anything about them, especially adding oil. Thanks in advance!

For my 408 build, I would like to use a good balancer. I am looking at the ATI & the Fluidamper brands. Anyone have any experience/thoughts on either brand? Do the stock pulleys bolt right up? I know they are both expensive, but I would rather get a good part that will last a few years.

Took the car to Bandimere Saturday and was surprised/happy: 13.46@100 first run, 13.48@100 second run. And then the rains came. 318+030 KB-845 pistons 302 heads ported by me, stock valve sizes Comp XE-274 solid cam 273 rockers air gap manifold 750 mech sec carb 3000 converter 904 4.30...

The KEVCO small block 318-340 6qt oil pan will not fit without modifying the K-frame on the front pass. side. It is listed to fit all chassis that take a center sump pan, but they must not have tried it in an early a. Does anyone know how the Moroso 8 qt 360 pan fits the early A? When I build my...

Going again this year. Taking the pickup in case I find something I can't live without. Anyone from around here going? It has been a good show in years past, always gets me pumped for spring and summer here.

A friend gave me an old case of atf+3 and I wonder how it will work in my 904 with alto red clutches and kolene steels. I have been using dexron/mercon III in it with great results. Okay to change it to atf+3?

Last cruise night in Golden is Saturday Oct 3rd. Last month I saw a cool 64 dart set up like a g machine, as well as quite a few a bodies. These cruises have a good mopar presence.

On a small block, at what main brg clearance would a HV pump be a smart thing to use? Is .003 too loose for a std. volume pump? Thanks in advance.

I found a complete 360 with a 904 on Craigslist and bought both today for $180. Couldn't pass them up! The 360 has a date casting of 12-7-70 so I think it must be a 71. I plan to pull a head first thing in the am to see if it's std bore(hope hope hope). Can the early blocks take 060 overbore if...
