    What intake did you use?

    Maybe I've learned a good lesson . . .

    It's a slippery slope, all I can say is proceed with caution. I had the same idea 20 years ago, huge cam, stall convertor, gears, etc. It was fun in short spurts but was miserable to cruise. I've fell in love with the carbed 5.9 magnums, regrind cam and a set of springs makes for a fun...

    I've used this kit for all of them. As far as the switch to turn it on it depends on the vehicle (On my Dart I cut up a turn signal lever I had laying around and used the universal one listed below) I used the 250-4165 magnetic pickup on all of them but the pass through generators might be...

    Whenever overdrive gets brought up it reminds me of this thread back in the day. Street / Strip(Overdrive) automatic trans choices ..

    Small block mileage

    I drive 24 miles to work without a stop sign (live in the middle of nowhere speed limit 60). But there is definitely some spirited driving in-between. I bet with a Edelbrock 600 and staying out of it I could get 18-19. I had to back the timing off (I had it at 15/35) it would ping. I'm...

    Safe max RPM for bone stock 5.9 magnum

    :realcrazy: I’m not sure what I was thinking using these gaskets. It’s fixed now. Hopefully the oil comes out clean eventually………

    Safe max RPM for bone stock 5.9 magnum

    I’m hoping it was just the intake gasket that didn’t seal (it was a jegs set they sent me for free because of the speedmaster intake debacle) I have a felpro MS95392 set that hopefully seals it up. lots of coolant in the oil pan!

    Safe max RPM for bone stock 5.9 magnum

    Over tightened the intake bolts (bush league mistake) loosened them up in reverse order one at a time and torqued them to the correct 144”lbs. It kept taking coolant :drama: Hoping the intake gasket didn’t seal but after doing some reading I could have really messed some things up...

    Safe max RPM for bone stock 5.9 magnum

    Bypass hose angle isn’t ideal :poke: Paid $20 to get one of the ports opened up for my temp gauge. Also picked up a new water neck/thermostat because I guess they’re different also and the one that came with it was rusted pretty bad.

    Safe max RPM for bone stock 5.9 magnum

    I was under the assumption that it would float the valves and bend pushrods before running into bearing issues (hence everyone's recommendation that replacing the valve springs is priority #1)

    Safe max RPM for bone stock 5.9 magnum

    That is correct. I looked everywhere online. When I clicked the shopping button oriellys popped up. I searched my local store and boom! (I don’t have it in my possession yet, it could still be phantom inventory)

    Safe max RPM for bone stock 5.9 magnum

    The speedmaster ports didn’t line up great. I filled the hole with right stuff and it’s been holding. Thankfully it didn’t leak into the engine. I finally found an edelbrock magnum intake from an unlikely source, my local oriellys! In the meantime it’s still holding together after all kinds...

    Safe max RPM for bone stock 5.9 magnum

    Yep it’s old but works great. I’m not one to replace anything that isn’t broken, especially with all the junk parts being produced nowadays.
