I guess I didn't understand the set screw idea, but you only seem to have barely enough thread depth to hold a stud.

You can check the depth of the others with a piece of wire with a 90 degree bend on the end. Hook it under the bottom of the bolt hole and mark it to measure. I do think studs are your only answer.

How deep are the threads

Can you epoxy in some studs?

Glad you found it. Are you going to seal the bolts and use it?

Those are nice looking race cars John. Beats your Walmart pics for sure.:rolleyes:

Just call me Wilson :)

Looking good Stan. Good luck with the first fire up. Don't sweat it. No problem. Piece of cake. I could go on...

The valve reliefs in my KB 240's are listed at 8 cc's, so I am guessing yours are closer to 4 cc's

Nice looking head. Has that chamber been filled or just milled?

I'd love to see the before and after dyno sheets with the head change. Depending on the cam I would expect more than a little power difference, like maybe 100 HP?

Congrats Stan, sounds like your transmission changes did the trick.

Oldtimer? I represent that remark!

They list the 400 as 510 lb/ft but the graph doesn't show that

Thanks, I like the torque curve of the 396 better. Torque is fun on the street.

Do you have the dyno graph for the 400?

I transplanted a stock Commando 273 into a 68 Barracuda with 3.23 gears, and it was a low 16 second car. Low 12's is amazing!

Dumb question, can you mount a slave cylinder on the scatter shield to work a clutch fork, like the early Dodge pickups?

That gives you more time to work on the tune up John.

Had me scared there Stan!

Sold???

Go get em John

I've never seen a hub dyno before. It makes sense, eliminates tire spin as a factor, and no chance of jumping off the rollers.

Now that you have new shoes you need to go dancing.

Sorry to hear about the rain. So are you trying to say those aren't your feet John?

I flat towed the 66. The 69 was driven to the track.

You forgot beer:thumbsup:

I should add that it's great to see you still racing. Some of us gave up regular racing years ago and just fool around now.

Great to hear John. What's better for the rest of us, it keeps you busy and out of Walmart taking pictures :lol:

First one is late 70's next one early to mid 80's
