    While I have the headers loose I was thinking about packing JBweld around the pipe plugs to really seal them, do you think JBweld can take really high temps?

    broke in the new engine- but need help

    Angle wrench? what do you mean? an offset open end? a wobbler open end? I don't have any of those, actually, but I'll buy one if I have to, I want it sealed tight.

    broke in the new engine- but need help

    The tubes! And the firewall at the back, and the steering box on the side, there just aint no way to get in there. Twelve point? I'm gonna try it. I have regular hex bolts on it now. That must be the reason. Do you have extra long ones for the outermost holes on each end? Cause I had water...

    well, I aint got much grill left to speak of anyway, ha! Consequences from when I lived a harder lifestyle, you know. I got the old engine out yesterday, and the new one in, and I am NEVER pulling a small block without pulling the tranny with it EVER again! It was easy to get the old one out...

    I bought a craftsman valve spring compressor and was putting some Isky toolroom springs on my 302's, they are a single spring with a damper. They bent the valve spring compressor.

    360 heads on a 318. good idea?

    Strip dominators are awesome! I gave my M1 to my brother, but I have the holley sitting on my engine right now till I can pull the performer off my other block. Very cool intake. Too bad I can't really use it's potential, with only a 270 cam. I was gonna use some 340 heads on my 318 but I talked...

    TRW pushrods

    I have TRW pushrods pn# 48814 and the only length I can find listed is 7.492 hydraulic with adjustable rockers. My calipers aren't big enough to measure these right, I am concerned because the length listed by comp cams for their pushrods for this applicaion is 7.389. So, which is correct? Do...

New bearings, plastiguage, torqued to 95 on the mains, 45 on the rods. .0004-.0006 tolerance. Good. Installed the new melling high volume...

    new build specs

    I am installingthe cam advanced a few degrees, so bottom end should be plentiful. The runners on the 302 heads are small but they have been cleaned up pretty well, and are ported to the size of the ports of a cast 360 intake. They were going to be run on a 360 and I convinced them that my 340...

And, I don't want to mess up my heads, I'm pretty good with a mig in industrial applications, have several hundred hours welding angle iron, galv and mild steel, but these are my babies, you know?

    Can someone help me ID this cam?

    It was ground by Cal Cams, numbers are 275-10-S 31A with the initials TJ. The solid lifters had an extra deep oiling groove, like REALLY deep. 1/4 inch or more. It is in great shape and was supposed to be pretty big. I'd like to find the spec's but I googled cal cams and all that came up were...

    915 heads with 2.02's?

    these have straight pushrod holes. I feel very fortunate, they are in great shape and will only need to be cleaned up a little and then good to go. I was gonna mill them .030 and run em on my 318, but I almost don't want to cut them, they are real good heads. I would trade them for some clean...

    M1 single plain

    flashes at about 2800, it seems like, but it really seems to vary, honestly, with the temp and how many times I run it, in a row, know what I mean? Sometimes it hits higher and harder and sometiimes, eh... but it's probably driver error, more than anything. I wanted the nitrous to hit at 3400 so...

    M1 single plain

    Exactly! I read it in a bracket racing how-to book years ago. Hey, do you need a grill? I have a 74 grill, perfect shape. I aint using it, if you need it you can have it. My grill on mine has the clear turn signals, the 74 has orange ones.

    M1 single plain

    He actually has an 08 saleen. And a black 68 cuda fastback that he bought from me! And a 350 z that is painted all crazy is the car he races. What year is your duster? The weight spec for mine was 3345 lb.s, but i cut weight everywhere, plus using aluminum wheels and getting rid of heavy stuff...
