Did you ever get this sorted out?

Don't know if its even possible, but could the fan be on the wrong side of the clutch? Aluminum pump in place of an iron? Mounts on the wrong side of the block ears? Just tossing ideas out for ya:thumbsup:

Radiator mounted in the same location? Obviously something isn't the same.

I had that same cam in my 63 Valiant in a 318, 3:23 and 4spd. The motor was stock except for the cam, intake (Edelbrock performer) and carb(Holley 600). This thing was a dog below about 3,000 but then woke up all the way to about 4,000. Couldn't get it to run right, to rich and sputtered. It was...

My uncle had a Chevy truck. Driving down the raod, it died. Got it home and wasn't getting any fuel to the carb. Pull the fuel pump, replaced it and still no fuel. My dad looks in at the dash and says "Is your gauge working"?. Uncle says "Yeah, why?". Its on empty. Watching 1 of these car...

Take the dowels out. When you tighten the intake down, you could crack the intake (don't ask how I know). Don't worry about the exhaust crossover, although it may cause the intake to discolor in that area. I'm not sure if you can or if it makes a difference, but the gasket sets usually comes...

$5.00 a month. Sooo many shows you can't watch them all. But I accept the challenge. Just looked and it looks like its 14 days free. Motor Trend OnDemand - Watch Auto Shows & Motorsports Online

Did you ever see the "tour" of his engine room? Have to be a Motor Trend on demand subscriber and its on the Roadkill Extra. First 30 days free.

Here's the guys (David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich) from Roadkill garage installing an intake. An if you haven't seen it, they have a whole series on how to build your 1st engine.

The way I always understood it was New cam, New lifters Old cam, New lifters but never New cam, Old lifters. Is this still the conventional thinking?

Have you looked at Rockauto.com I get lots O' stuff from them. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/dodge,1974,dart,5.9l+360cid+v8,1500140,engine,motor+mount,5552

Gears allow more accurate timing. They also transmit more harmonics to the valve train then chains. Depending on which set you get, they are loud, almost supercharger whine loud. Some people put them on just for that reason. I would like to run a Jesel belt drive setup. Just to find away to...

If the intake is changed, then the dowel pins might still be in holding the intake up just a bit. This would cause a leak at the intake.

Wouldn't that be defacing Government property? :oops:

Sounds like its not getting up to temp and not being able to evaporate the gas vapors. That, or your dumping fuel past the rings. I once read that if a car is going to sit, its best to change the oil and let it sit, than to keep starting it and only letting it run a few minutes. It contaminates...

You need to take a step back and go to basics. You need to get the timing checked, then set the idle and the mixture. Until you check timing, your not doing anything but throwing parts. Have to start at a baseline and work from there.

What about a local community college? I took a few classes while I had the time. Auto ,electronics, transmissions and engines. All taught by ASE master mechanics. After the engine class, I was asked to be the T/A for the next year. Unfortunately I moved. I took these classes in my early 30's. I...

I guess I should have mentioned that the Turbo cars were 4cyl and the Supercharged were V6. The turbo cars had an Iron block and heads wherer the V6 had Iron block aluminum heads. I ran the Turbos to 18lbs boost daily on the street and with good gas to 24lbs no problems. The v6 at 15lbs can pop...

Whats the general feeling of hypereutectic pistons? Better then cast, not as good as forged? I find it funny that the Turbocharged Fords from the 80s used Forged up until the end, but the Supercharged Thunderbirds went Hypereutectic starting in 89. The Turbo cars used 8.0:1 and the SC cars went...

I would take the word of a reputable machine shop over the word of a parts jockey. Who has more "real world" experience with these pistons? Who is going to be the 1 replacing parts if they are wrong? Who's reputaion is on the line? That, and I've been the parts jockey, and I've seen alot of...

To add as well, if you haven't already done so, you may want to grind off the dowel pins at the end of the intake. I found out the hard way what happens. I am now looking for a new intake as the old eddy performer is cracked about 2". Which is kind of ok as I am in need of something a little...
