No. I went by the tape method, and had the clearance. Street/strip car. Raced that motor a whole season with no problems.

That is good info guys. Thanks for the quick responses.

Hi Engine builders, Looking for the guys that have experience with using 3/8 pushrods in the RHS X heads. I am using the PRW 1.6 stainless rockers with valve lift right at about 605 lift. At max lift the clearance on the exhaust side is minimal .003. The intake pushrod hole comes up further to...

The last 69 block I had in the convertible only had the last 8. This block has the full vin??

I have a couple 340 motors. I was curious if there is a Forum/registry to list block casting #'s. To help reunite these motors with the possible owner of the car that the engine has been missing. This would be very beneficial to the owner of these cars. The one I just rebulit is LM23P9B116070...

Dual point distributers to electronic ignition in 72. Don't think the electronic would hurt H.P however.

Is that paint in the valley pan? or some kind of coating?

sounds like beehive springs would be cheaper than new rockers. I looked up my paper work on these and the springs were good to 570 lift. not sure of installed height or pressures. I would like to run a solid lift cam close to the 570-580 that Brian has reccomended in other forums. Any...

Will the beehive springs miss this rocker gear, or will there still need to be some clearancing.

Hi Guys, I am looking for helpful information on good rockers for these heads. I have a set of 1.6 ratio PRW rockers. There seems to be a big problem with clearances. I talked to one fellow and he said almost all the RHS heads are going to create the need to dremel clearance on the rocker gear...

Shady Dell speed shop is at State College area. little far for you tho. probaly 3 hours. He is an all mopar engine builder. (for the most part) specializes in small block stuff. http://www.shadydellspeedshop.com/engines.htm

I like the Airgap with a 1" open spacer. I have the six pack hood and it puts it right in the clean air. I use the tall K&N air cleaner.

When you find them let us know. I am looking for a set or at least one 1.60 exhaust valve. 3/8. I scored 16 exhaust guides (water cooled) at the Carlisle show this year. What a score. I had one that was leaking caused by a bent valve.

Orange turned out to look good on the green.

Looks real nice. I like the factory look.

Hey, that works. Seems very clever. I got a tool from my local Ford guy tonight. It seems Ford cam bearings are different sizes. It had 10-12 presses in it, but none the right size. It was a real old set in a wooden box. I have a good friend tonight that is going to hook me up with a real Mopar...

So I went to the local advanced auto parts, they don't rent the tool. I went to my local chivy machine shop. $30.00 plus bearings and rear cap for $2.00. Great that is cheap enough. He says bring him the bare block? I said why. He says you can not line up the oiling hole with the hole in the...

Thanks for the demonsizzler sight. It has helpful tuning tips. Just rebuilt my TQ last night and was need ing some info. I am having problem with small spring on the side. Anybody have pix of the placement for this? thanks, T.J.

Motor is on garage floor currently. $300. I think I will see if I can rent the tool. There easy to change with the right tool. I will stay away from machine shop for this task.

Well I have a 318 with a few miles on it and I wanted to warm it up with a new cam, lifters, timing chain, and 4 barrel manifold. When I pulled the old cam out the 2nd to last bearing had broke down a bit and was losing some of its shelac or coating? So I feel I should be replacing the bearings...

The car was just super stock springs with adjustable snubber and sub frame connecters. All steel, no glass. just rear seats removed and battery moved to the trunk to lighten it up. Ohh and some pretty light wheels. The bottom end is a 318 forged steel crank, stock rods(polished beams and...

I Have a 318 with W-2 heads on it. It ran abest of 7.17 in 1/8 mile and a little shy from 10.s in the 1/4. I will sell it to you for $3500. It needs a valve job and probaly re-ringed. You will be under $4000. Then buy a 100 shot N.O.S and your where you need to be for $4500. Ramcharger posted...

Hi Mike, Do you know if he had any clearance problems with the valves or rods? That is impressive power for an old 318 block. I wonder how many racers sent them to the boneyard thinking they would never be any kind of performance engine. I would love to see a Magazine do a build-up on a 318...

Sounds like a perfect match to the O.O.T.B R.H.S heads that Brian and Indy have been working on with the 1.94 intake valve. what you think Moper, or is there still too much shrouding for those as well. I would love to here some Dyno results on the few cats that done these already.

I have heard of a few members building this motor. I was thinking last night, What the bob weight would be on this combo. It has to be light, lighter than the 340 and 360's right? If you are using good quality lightened Pistons and Rods. These things should fly... I would love to hear what...

comp 295HL 251/257 @ 050. what is the lift? and centerline that you use. advance cam? I think that is pretty cool to run 91 octane and blast a 10.90 pass. How is the driving manners with this combo on the street?

Nice Brian, Did you ever post your combo to that motor on another thread. If I remember that was not that radical of a cam, was it?

This is the dilemma, I figured I would come to. By the time I buy new springs and retainers. I will be very close to the cost of those new RHS heads you are selling, (although I don't think they will make the H.P. these W-2's will) but would be more street friendly. Your in line to price what...

Hi Brian, I was thinking you would be the guy that might have them. Does the set include the Intake guides as well? Are these one piece including the guide? Is there a trick to installing these without destroying the heads? Thanks, T.J.

I am looking for 8 new exhaust guides for a set of old W-2 heads. Does anyone know where I can come up with these? I have a pix of one that is leaking, the exhaust guides are water cooled. You may be able to see crack. I will probaly put new intake guides in as well. Any help would be...
