I need a headlight for a 78 Pinto. "Was that a V8 or a 6"??

Nothing. In fact, they didn't ask... so, I asked them. I learned one thing; you ask 5 people what the proper end gap is for your particular engine (having given them the specs and all other pertinent parameters, such as the amount of boost, etc) and you'll get 5 different answers. I...

The ring manufacturers don't have a clue as to what kind of a motor you are building; it may be normally-apirated, or it could be a nitrous-assisted, turbocharged, or a supercharged motor. Rings "grrow" in length as they get hot from combustion.. The rings that are exposed to the heat from a...

Thanks Bob. We broke in the cam with some antique, worn out, 318 springs, and after running it at 2,500 rpm for 30 minutes, it's showing between 170 and 175 pounds compression pressure on all 6 cylinders, and we're happy with that, since it's a low-compression turbo motor. I appreciate your...

I don't know if that formula takes into consideration the additional gap necessary on turbocharged, supercharged, and N20 motors. All the additional heat generated by forced induction, changes the parameters for end gaps, I think.

We did... I learned that, contrary to my previous opinion, the larger compression ring gap (according to all the "good" information I could uncover, for a turbo application) goes on the second ring, NOT the top one... Like I said, I learn something every day.](*,) We ended up with .020" on...

I never heard of an "end gap factor." I learn something every day...:sad7: Sorry...

I am no expert, by any means, but on a bore that big, I would really be afraid that the ring ends would butt at anything much over a cold engine.... Just sayin'... I have no experience with that, but jeesh... .004" is practically nothing...

I think thst's because the NASCAR rules deny any other engine combinations, not because the small blocks are better.

A 904 transmission is somewhat lighter than a 727. They never made a 904 that would bolt up to a BB or RB that I know of. Most small blocks had 904's except for early 340s.

Bet your car will run at worst, a 13.90... IF it can get a bite... Good luck; tires are a lot better, now....

I worked as a tech person at several drag strips bAck in the 1965-1969 period and ran the clocks a lot of the time, so I got to see first-hand, what the cars were turning. I paid attention. These cars I'm listing were BONE STOCK with street tires... NO SLICKS and were traction-limited to a...

If you want to race a Stock Class drag car, or build a killer, high specific output motor for NHRA's Competition Eliminator, a 340 is undoubetdly the better of the two for you. However, the 360's that run in NHRA's Stock Eliminator run just as fast as the 340s, even in Super Stock, but the 340...

Since you've decided on a 360, it would benefit you, I think, to look at the advantages of the L-A vs. Magnum motors, and vice-versa. The Magnums were introduced in 1992 or '93 (can't remember), so they've been around for at least sixteen years... plenty long enough for the junk-yards to be...
