    Oil filters....which one to use?

    Ace is exactly right.....celluose is at the top of the list for filter material followed closely by synthetic cellose material. Well oil does wear out but it wear out cause the additive package goes away over time and the all the dirt and crap suspended in it along with the heat starts to break...

    Problem with Clevite bearing

    There was only one perfect man and he was crucified....... We all make mistakes but that comment above is one of the most valid things I have ever heard.....trust but verify.

    Oil filters....which one to use?

    I run a Napa Gold (Wix) 1348 or Wix P/N 51348 which is the filter for the V6 Dakota and Neons. It is smaller and easier to get to with the headers and there is no need for that leaky adaptor. Baldwin, Fleetguard, Wix, Purolator Pure One, Donaldson, Amsoil (Which are made by Donaldson) and...

    what headers to use?

    1-3/4" primary and 3" collector.....Hooker P/N 5204. You have to run manual steering. You CAN'T have a sway bar on the front and a mini-starter is really nice and should be mandatory.

    what headers to use?

    Honeslty the Hooker SC are fine ont he street as well.....they don't hang as low as the small tube Headmans and they fit really well.....plus they are $200 cheaper for better flow....the choice is obvious.

    284 484 cam and power brakes

    The thing is if you are going to swap to manual brakes why not upgrade to the aluminum M/C that has a bigger bore and better pedal feel and more pressure......that old 4-bolt M/C is junk IMO unless you are going for the un-molested factory look or numbers matching. With the upgraded M/C the...

    284 484 cam and power brakes

    Get the 4-bolt to 2-bolt swap plate from someplace like Mancini or Magnum HP, get a M/C from Napa or Autozone for an early 80's 3/4 Dodge Ram truck. I didn't even need the adjustable pushrod cause I had manual brakes to begin with but if you have power brakes you need an adjustable rod and you...

    Magnums VS. Eddy's

    Are you gonna have the Eddy's ported or bolt them on right out of the box? If you are gonna spend the money have the Eddy's ported then they will out flow the Magnum heads.....if you are just gonna bolt them on then go with the Magnums and put the money elsewhere.

    Zinc Additive for Flat Tappet break-in?

    Maybe I have a more knowledgable dealer then....the guy I talk to and buy from is really up on the subject cause he has a Chevelle and he's aware of the problem and has done some research and talked to higher up's from Brad Penn. I know Chuck from Best Machine endorses and sells Brad Penn and...

    Zinc Additive for Flat Tappet break-in?

    I have talked to the guy at my local dealer quite a few times and have no worries about it. I don't know of any oil company whether it be Brad Penn, Royal Purple or Joe Gibbs that will tell you whats in their additive packages. Those are what set them apart from each other. The only reason...

    Zinc Additive for Flat Tappet break-in?

    I run Brad Penn Racing oil and don't have to worry about adding anything. It's not rated for passenger cars so it doesn't fall under the EPA BS. It costs me under $4 per quart and i have a local distributor that I can go pick it up or they will deliver it to my house for free even. Joe Gibb's...

    To spray or not to spray

    Hyper pistons are fine to run. KB told me their hypers would handle a 200 shot with no issue: AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THIER RING END GAP GUIDELINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I personally wouldn't run a nitrous kit with a mechanical fuel pump. IMO if you are gonna spray a motor you are...

    To spray or not to spray

    Couldn't have said it any better there QH. There is nothing wrong with nitrous and it WILL NOT hurt your motor if you know what you are doing and have the fuel system to support it. Like Crackedback said.....pretty much any motor out there will handle a 100-150 shot with no problems at all and...

    commando's vs. eddie rpm's

    I agree I need more compression.....one of those things if I knew then what I know now I would have done it differently and bought different pistons.....but the motor runs for what it is. As far as the heat dissapation theory....I have been doing a lot of reading on that and it seems there is a...

    commando's vs. eddie rpm's

    I don't know as much as some others but my OOTB Eddies on my 318 feel just fine down low and I only have around 9.5:1 CR.....if I had another point I'm sure it would be even better.

    commando's vs. eddie rpm's

    I would say they would be more compairable to the Eddy's and the large port say the Race w2's.

    commando's vs. eddie rpm's

    I like the Eddies but yes they are better.....especially the large port ones. OOTB the large port commandos probably flow as good as a set of fully done Eddies. Does MP still offer the small port comando heads?

    Why do you assume that anyone who disagrees with you or something you do is a hater? I don't hate your board...in fact I like a lot of the members there and have made some friends there and learned a lot of good info there as well as here. It is strictly my opinion to not use or recommend your...

    Magnum worth it?

    What are your plans for the car? What are you gonna do with it? If you just want a nice street cruiser I'd swap in the whole magnum engine if it's in good shape. That way you have EFI. I'd ditch the keg barrel intake for the MP M1 intake and maybe up the cam with one of Comps magnum engine...

    mopar crate engine

    Because I'm not a professional engine builder.....I'm just some schmuck. I've never claimed and will never claim to know everything. I just think it was a dumb move to try something totally new on a magazine engine challenge when you are a new business.....this is the last thing I'm gonna say...

    mopar crate engine

    I agree parts can fail but if you are building a motor for a magazine that YOU know is doing an article on it wouldn't you think you'd have all you I's dotted and T's crossed? I mean that is a major publication in the Mopar world and they are a shop in it's infancy so they need all the good...

    mopar crate engine

    Never dyno'd and never ran...what kind of compentent shop sends an engine to a magazine contest and doesn't even test run it on a stand to make sure everything is operating correctly. Don't they have an engine stand in their shop that they can test run engines they build? Any moron would know...

    Take a look at their Mopar Muscle Challenge engine and see how good it was and that tells me enough to stay away from them...... http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/eventcoverage/mopp_070918_amsoil_mopar_engine_challenge_update/index.html Since you don't know of any local shops I think a...

    340 Stroker Oil Pan ???

    Anyway..back to the topic at hand......IIRC the Moroso deep pan will clear as well and there should be no header clearance problems with it since there is no kick-out on it.

    340 Stroker Oil Pan ???

    I don't have my front end jacked up in the air and I have never scraped my Super Comps on the ground.....and I don't have to pull the header off to get the starter out either like some people claim. I've seen TTI's and they are nice but not $600+ nice IMO....plus I have heard horror stories of...

    340 Stroker Oil Pan ???

    Well they are cheap in price compaired to TTI's......it's bad enough spending $400 on a set of Super Comps but $600 for a set of headers is BS.....the cheap $150 Hedman and Hooker headers don't fit bad enough IMO to warrant spending $600+ on a set of headers......that you still have to run a...

    340 Stroker Oil Pan ???

    The Mancini Racing oil pan is what my buddy runs with his stroker. They are made by Charlie's.
