    65 barracuda

    The two inch difference between fenderwells for a 65 to a 67 is enough to make the big block into an early A quite an undertaking. Exhaust is a big hurdle to clear. We custom built headers which was a long trial and error process. The distributor up front is one plus though. The additional...

    Anyone build their own headers

    I have built a few sets and cut my own flanges ( even in the days processing plasma cutters)and used pre- cut flanges. If Hell's Gate Hot Rods @ Flanges - Hells Gate Hot Rods Has what fits your engine you'd be hard pressed to make your own as nice, and for the price. Even if they need a bit...

    Best 3/8 header flange?

    I have bought a few flanges from this guy and found them to be quality items. I bought the small block and W2 flanges but I would assume that the big block flanges would be equal quality...

    Did I just ruin my crank?

    As everyone else has said, what you have isn't a major problem and can be fixed simply. A guy I know did the same thing to his crank several years ago. He called me up and wanted to know if I could drop his crank off at the machine shop on Monday morning for him. When i asked why he told me...
