    cleaning and painting my block

    Someone said on another thread ..........Quote : Another perspective and based on the opening post... If you really wanted it "RIGHT" you should have had the crank turned, indexed, and stroke corrected, the rods resized (so the lengths are equalized), and the block align honed, and machined on a...

    cleaning and painting my block

    I can use the code you gave to get my Matrix paint formula but the label says orange, is that a Chrysler orange or a chevy orange. EDIT: I tried using the code you show on the can, input that into my mixing software and it dosent recognize the code? Id like to use a Chrysler color. Looks...

    cleaning and painting my block

    Couple of things going on here that I have some questions about. 1- I just had the deck cut twice, its now close enough to where I had originally asked it to be, machinest did not do anything either time as far as cleaning the block, it was coated with WD-40 and now its coated with metal from...

    Intake manifold ?

    I understand, all I remember though is a guy 15 years old in the early eighties that wanted one real bad on his 70 satellite but couldnt afford it pushing shopping carts for the local grocer.

    Would these be acceptable

    Thanks, since the engine has been mocked up twice already with the same piston/rod assy in the same holes, measurements taken and assuming the appropriate material removed from the deck all should be well enough I would think without playing musical pistons.

    Would these be acceptable

    I understand theres not too many things perfect but Id like to give it my best. Im gonna assy the 4 corners this Sunday and hope that its cut down correctly this time.

    Would these be acceptable

    Yeah I knew this after the fact, your right, Ive been doing alot of reading and I should have had these things done. Hes done with it, picked it up this A.M. Im gonna wait for the 340 machine work to be done and then put them both together at the same time. I believe I have most all the parts

    Intake manifold ?

    Im curious, your second person to say looks fake????What is it that someone was trying to fake?? Im not getting it, I thought it was just an air intake, nothing different than an air cleaner but has the catch the air look? Not trying to be confrontational, just confused. I did not think nor...

    Intake manifold ?

    I know it does, I had to look myself of course just to verify Im not building something that is gonna be driven on the street regularly, Im building something that I couldnt afford to build when I was an 18 years old kid, I know when its done itll be like walking into the K-mart here locally...

    Intake manifold ?

    Nothing has been ground out of the manifold I already drilled them out for helicoils but thanks
  12. 1930

    Would these be acceptable

    I assembled the crank and pistons initially, took my measurements as far as how far down the hole they were, averaged the measurements and decided on a number each side to remove from deck, disassembled engine, asked machinest to remove X from one side and X from the other to give me the zero...

    Would these be acceptable

    Machinest said he would take care of it
  14. 1930

    Would these be acceptable

    I already know what hes gonna say and no it aint Nascar so it dosent have to be perfect but if it aint right then it aint right either so I guess Ive already made up my mind on it.
  15. 1930

    Would these be acceptable

    When I initially measured how far down in the bore the pistons were I installed assy but did not torque anything down cause Ive read that the rod bolts can only be stretched so many times before they become damaged. Snugged down bolts/nuts, took my measurements and asked machinest to remove...

    Intake manifold ?

    Since no other suggestions on an intake I called Edelbrock tech line for some suggestions and told him what I was trying to do, make low end torque. He told me that while hed like to sell me an intake I already had the best intake they could offer. The performer ( what I have ) is more low to...

    Intake manifold ?

    This might be the only time I get to say way ahead of you :)

    Intake manifold ?

    I think a gear drive would be closer to a fake blower, a bug catcher is nothing more than an air intake.
  19. 1930

    Intake manifold ?

    Since Im buying a new intake Ill ask, Id like to get the best intake for torque, Id also like the tallest intake, Im planning to install a bug catcher and Id like the eye appeal of a tall intake with the catcher coming out the hood. Ive read that tunnel rams and torque dont go hand in hand so...

    Intake manifold ?

    OK, Ill get the RPM. If anyone is interested in this one let me know. Cheap

    Intake manifold ?

    Considering what I found on the rest of the truck Im gonna assume that the guy didnt have the correct bolts, decided to try and force the wrong bolts down into the hole and cause they werent the correct thread they snapped off. I believe I may have just enough sticking out to get them out...

    Intake manifold ?

    Getting ready to try and get the 3 out of 4 broken studs out of this manifold when I noticed it was not the 440 RPM manifold I thought it was. ( It came on a parts truck I bought ) Little re-search has me thinking its the 2191 low rise ( versus the 7193 High Rise RPM ) Ive read that the 7193...

    Oiling question

    Ill get it done :) Ratcliff has my 440 at this point, Ive gone down there a couple of times the last couple of months and hes been decent too me so I figured I would give the relationship another chance. He taking the .013 off the one bank and the .022 ? ( just guessing ) off the other.

    Edelbrock 440 RPMs

    Thanks for all the comments, Im gonna pull the valves just to see what down there, Im gonna measure the valve guides and compare stems just for the experience, Im gonna re-assemble and maybe lap in the valves just to see what sort of a finish was left and make sure there is no chance of leaks...

    Edelbrock 440 RPMs

    If they think they need to be returned Ill most likely decline, its minimal, Im not sure how gasket matching works, if its the head side material thats removed or intake side, maybe both. Im assuming if the head is the least bit touched its gonna go away in nearly an instant. I only brought it...
