    "F" and "E" on my oil filler cap? Why?

    Slant 6 Split exhaust

    looks like memikes valiant so it is either a holley 390 or a 500 2bbl and I'm not too sure if it's a direct bolt on since I'm going 2 1bbl units on mine untl I gte the turbo setup built and paid for.

    Slant 6 Split exhaust

    check out waggins dual option for the slant (I stole this pic from somewhere but I do have a set for my slant too) and I think MeMikes valiant had a /6 with his duals on em too.

    What are these marking?

    When I worked at Trenton Engine (Chrysler engine plant in Michigan) I had to run the boring line, the rod line and the crank line. I had to do that for every block and crank I ran off the line. (I was on the RB line for a year, hemis were a line you couldn't get on unless you had 20 years...

    rebuild suggestions

    I just did 0.100 off the deck and it's still in the hole a good bit. (but i was afraid to do more on this engine.) but I did the head 0.060 with larger valves. I'll clay it up and check things when I get more down time.

    I've got one of those adjustable rods that you use to get the correct length. acutaly I think I have 2 types the ball on both ends and the cup and ball type. once I've mocked it up I'll order custom length ones to make it perfect. (I'll cheat and order for a v8 since it's usually cheaper than...

    rebuild suggestions

    I didn't want to have to yank an engine after I had redone the car so that's the way I went. no fancy combo since I'll turbo it after I get some (2000) miles on it. I really want to drive it some before I take the exhaust apart and replumb it again I re-did a good used engine but it had some...

    total cost for cam regrind, fixing the worn fuel pump lobe, shipping from there and new lifters was $192.00. Shipping to there was 26.00 (Ken Heard from Oregon cams said not to put in a PVC pipe since he has seen quite a few broken that way) I used a 3 corner box from the post office and packed...

    it was harder to find the 14g vs the 16g I'll look into the 16g super and see whaer that puts me money wise and then start saving for other goodies. I've got dual manifolds made by "waggin" and I'll have to fab a 2into 1 pipe to get the O2 bung fit too but I'll be on their site checking...

    No I have not looked at the mitsubishi series. Have you seen a map of them?I am still trying to learn to read them right though. Yes I plan on using using a Tial adjustable blowoff or bypass valve(they are similar in usage are they not? and if not why?) I was looking at the hot.63 (is this too...

    Thanks, Snappy to me meant "Expressway" speeds and staying there or passing, which means the turbo should be spooled up a bit and not too "laggy". heck I'm not worried about off the line performance at all since it's a driver for pleasure. my original /6 was just too sluggish at highway speeds...

    9.1 is to be determined by how far the darn pistons are in the hole @.185 in the hole with a stock compression of 8.4 to 1 for 1978 model year. I'd pretty much have to deck the block .60 to .80 at least and shave the head to get to 9 to 1. but I would not even wince at hitting 10-12psi...

    slant 6 rebuild and upgrade list

    I don't think that they(hardened seats) will be in there. When I go to the larger valve setup, I understand that hardened seats are only a couple thou deep and can get removed if you go to a larger valve which is what I am doing. When we induction(rocklinize) hardened the tooling we used at...

    Suggestions on performance upgrades for 225

    with the van you have tons of room and plenty of ground clearance for headers if you want. Dutra-duals are a decent choice and a member(waggin) on here makes another type of dual setup. less than Dutra-duals. I know that a couple of members on here have a set (me included but mine are not on...

    Offenhauser 2@ !bbl Holley swap info

    you might look into Waggins dual setup. I've just got mine and I think "memike" has a set already on his car. I had Waggin make mine so that they pointed straight out towards the inner fender up close to the bottom of the intake manifold since I am later going to turbo the /6.(ie. really short 2...

    heat shield for my slant six!! HELP

    I have not seen any pre-made ones. I would buy a normal carb gasket,flat piece of aluminum .090 or a bit thicker like .125 (1/8") for extra heat removal or you could get an epoxy( phenolic) resin board that stops the transfer of most of the heat to the carb, my bet would be on the aluminum as...
