We are just mad at Speedmaster.

Highly likely Summit could be sued selling counterfeit parts. But great to see Summit do the right thing and stop selling them.

Surprising LA police cracking down. That's like a big cashless bail, defund the police, criminals are victims, cops are villains, putting minorities in jail is racist, its legal to steal trash bags full of goods from stores area right? Sanctuary city too isn't it?

Air shocks and classic Lakewood traction bars, cragars, thats where its at...

I could not get rear main to stop leaking on stock 340 block until I put thin film of sealer between rear main cap and block surface to keep the oil from getting out between the two surfaces. After that no leaks.

Yeah that chevy does a good wheelie....

Great to hear it is reopening. Good old fashion drag strip.

Cool car!

Those are some great numbers! Thats a strong runner there.

Sweet!

If you want the right converter have a reputable company like Ultimate Converter Concepts build one for your combination. The off the shelf units won't stall at the advertised stall on every car. A high quality converter will make a huge difference so that is an area you want to spend the money.

Congrats that is cool!!

Great picture!! Gotta be loving that!!

That is one sweet ride, love the way that engine sounds!!!

Brian did the cam in for my engine too. Works great.

I would ditch the factory heads and get some RHS heads. That way you'll have a quench combustion chamber and can run 10:1 or more compression on pump gas. With the open chamber factory heads they won't have quench and will be more prone to detonation so you'll be forced to run lower...

Have a good local shop balance it. Usually the "balanced" kits are way off and have to be redone if you want it right. Member ou812 sells stroker kits, send him a PM he will hook you up. And like Moper said you will want a good local shop to go over the kit and check all the tolerances.

If you can afford it send those heads up to Shady Dell Speed to get ported. That will allow those extra cubes to breath.

For a 4" stroke engine you really need to go with a forged piston because of the excessive piston speeds. Now if your building a low RPM stroker for a towing vehicle then cast would work. Remember, you will be over reving the engine by accident occasionally in a performance application.

I use a Motive Power Bleeder to pressure bleed the brakes. Its gets me a nice high and tight brake pedal: http://store.motiveproducts.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=motive&StoreType=BtoC&Count1=105175197&Count2=22315621 Another thing those 4 pistons set ups like is 7/8" rear wheel...

The 4 piston calipers on my car are over 20 years old and work perfectly. I flush them out every year or so. Not a daily driver though. I don't think you need stainless steel if you flush them out regularly.

I bought a Goodridge G-Stop steel braided brake line kit for my car. Fit right on perfectly with no modifications: http://www.goodridge.net/usa/documents/Goodridge2008G-StopApplicationGuide6-25-08.pdf

Plus a 360 has a pretty good stroke in it already. Not like were are talking about a 3.31" stroke here.

I am running Crane 10 degree retainers on my Eddie heads and with no shims the install height would be 1.86". I am pretty sure the limitation on lift is due to the retainers and springs those heads ship with. Some one like Moper, BJR Racing, or Ryan at Shady Dell would know for sure. Also...

If your budget is the cost of a stroker kit OR a set of Eddie heads then I would do what moper says and maximize what you have. A 360 with x heads is a nice combo so a little more cam, like a Voodoo, with the correct springs, 750 Vacuum Secondary carb, and a good curve on that distributor would...

It you want to compare late model chevy heads to mopar heads you should probably compare them to the new 5.7 and 6.1 Hemi heads. Indy makes some serious heads for small block mopars that have big ports and can be ported to flow some good numbers. Indy also sells IndyBrocks which are...

The performance is definitely there with the Iron Ram/EQ heads. I have also heard the quality of the cast is very nice too. As far as rocker arm gear goes this is what I have for my Eddie heads: $450 - Comp Cams Pro Magnum rockers $ 80 - Hughes Engines hold down kit. $144 - Comp Cams...

If your gonna run the stock 340 exhaust manifolds I'd go with the EQ heads because the Eddie heads need an adapter plate to space them out on the driver's side. Also the EQ heads have a stock look to them unlike the boxy Eddie heads. I went with the Eddie heads due to the light weight...

Here is a good write up on how to degree in a cam: http://www.cranecams.com/?show=article&id=3 And here is a free degree wheel: http://www.tavia.com/free_degree_wheel.html

Here is another statement from their Chrysler tech notes: "Even though COMP Cams® roller lifters will work without oil system or lifter bore modifications, it is highly recommended that on any racing engine the lifter bores be modified. This will ensure that in the case of a pushrod failure...
