Man it has been a long time since I've posted, so I wanted to say a GIANT hello to everyone, on my favorite sub-forum. Hope all you old friends are well and Hi to some news guys. Between the pandemic and a couple hiccups, time seems to have been limited. But I'm glad to have a handle on life...

Thought this might be informative to some poor guy who buys a Super Victor with lovely thoughts of just bolting it on. This one is, I think my fifth. 2nd one for me and I did 3 for friends. This one is very typical of what ya get. I posted a pic of my "porting station". It keeps the aluminum...

I've attached a pic of specs from 2 cams. 2 different companies. As you can see, they are damn near twins. Except for the lobe separation angle and intake centerline. I was hoping someone could REALLY tell me how these 2 cams might be so different. Which one has more overlap? Which one would...

Yep. I'm not burning oil, my plugs look like new. No smoke. O2 sensor dry and clean. I noticed a couple weeks ago, a sort of mist on my back bumper and T pipe extensions. Inside the extensions was wet oil. Tonite I noticed the right side actually put a drop on th floor right at the clamp...

3 questions 1: how easy or difficult for that matter would it be to bend a high quality I beam type rod? 2: if one did indeed have a bent rod, would the engine vibrate at All RPM's? 3. With heads off, wouldn't it be pretty noticeable due to valve...

Boy I've been down this friggin road before........ So this engine has 13 dyno pulls, plugs pulled a couple times and they looked great. Off the dyno, into the car and after a short first ride, it's smoking. Decided to jump on it hard and actually killed number 8 plug, it fouled so bad. Bring...

So my old bullet with about 3700 miles is out and on the engine cradle. Complete minus carb and distrib. Was going to sell it but decided to keep it as a back up, in case of some mid-summer catastrophic failure. Spring pressure is somewhere around 600ish at .600 lift, so I think I will unbolt...

Anyone running one of these. Need a new drive for my in car engine and can't believe it's $100 less than the Mopar unit. Kinda makes me wonder why such a big price diff.

Boy I hate these kinds of posts but thought I'd throw it out there. 2 seasons now, recently got louder. I have this screeching, ringing type noise.NOT always there. Only comes on around 2100 RPM, then again around 2900. Seems worse once warmed up. We seem to feel like it's coming from the rear...

Well my quest for heads is now kind of back on. Catching up my checkbook after the rotten HVAC upgrades we had done . So tonite I went to check out some W2 race heads a friend of a friend has. He said they are from the 80's, untouched , unmolested and still in the Mopar boxes. BINGO! I talked...

Well not sure if I missed in this combo, if Hughes missed or should I just be happy. Here's the combo LA 360 bored 4.040. Machined to perfection, lifter bores bushed. yad yada Scat 4 inch forged crank with pro series I beams. ARP 2000 bolts...

Well today was sunny and 32 degrees. No salt dust on the roads......Perfect day to take a blast, maybe my last blast with this engine. A beast as usual although not much fun because of the cold roads. Not much hook.... Just turned 3000 miles on this thing with absolutely no issue. Long summer...

Using Hughes re-designed 1.6 rockers on this new motor and decided today to prime it on the stand. Once the cam is in the right position I got TONS of oil to the pushrod cup......maybe too much. What I noticed is absolutely no oil to the rollers. I have a set of their original design 1.6...

Well this is the 4th one I've done and by far the worst one, out of the box. Man you'd think Eddy could at least get close. This one couldn't even be bolted to "teener" heads. I put my cigs next to the pile to show a size comparison. This is what my shop vac MISSED! Ever hear of anyone just...

Just mocked up my rocker geometry kit from B3 Racing. Man it is perfect. My swipe pattern is pretty centered and only .035 wide. I DID do the mock up with pushrods that are .200 shorter than I plan to use but have a wee bit of a clearance issue. I put a layer of .005 masking tape on them and...

Man I've used 4 sets of these and just don't remember seeing water passages blocked. Starting final assembly on this new bullit and notice 3 passages are blocked. Did I just miss this before or is something wrong here?

trying to find a reasonably priced SFI rated damper. Wondered if anyone has input on this. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pbb-pb1004ss/overview/make/dodge Doesn't look so good to me. Not much out there under 200 bucks.

Got my pistons and rods NASA clean for install tomorrow. I've always used the same sort of "recipe" since I was a kid. Far as I know I've always had a good ring seal. So of course after pistons and rods are clean, I use lacquer thinner on paper towel in the cylinders until they come out darn...

Degreed my Bullet solid roller today. Supposed to be a 108 LSA. When I set it up dot to dot it came out 109.5. Tim wanted it installed at 104, so I advanced til I got 103.5. Talked to them and they were very cool about it. All cores aparrantly are not perfect. I think the important thing is...

Trying to avoid the Canton o ringed plate but not sure how the factory set it up. The little dark red gasket is a thin steel core and came with my kit. Does it go UNDER the plate or between the filter nipple and the plate. I don't ever remember seeing it on at least a few teardowns. Don't be...

Ya know, I've done this enough but never remember. Its like Greg Superformance rear main seal. I have to ALWAYS ask, which side out?

SO, after mocking up cam and lifters, it looks like I might have a "bleeder". The problem is NOT the top of the lifter bore. The problem is the oil hole in the bore itself. It's circled in pic 1.what happens is, at full lift the back skirted area of the lifter shown in pic 2 is exposed to the...

Getting the final little stuff ordered for assembly. Currently have a Mopar Perf. Bronze drive in my motor in car. I really wanted to keep that motor assembled and ready to run. Was shocked at the price of a new bronze drive. I have several good steel ones and was wondering if anyone has used...

This block I'm working on was one of the ugliest, filthiest things I ever saw. Un-opened factory that was sitting in a damp cellar for 26 years. ....horrible! of course my machinist tanked it and ran it through his Mart(spelling?) machine, so it cleaned up ok. Something I have been doing now...

Did all the 1/2 inch drilling for oil system, deburred the whole block and decided to start filing my rings. I gapped the top rings at .019, per Total Seal. They are not the gapless type. I personally have always gapped the second ring the same, again, per Total Seal. I keep reading how some...

Wondering what the max side clearance is. I think I might be a tide "wide". Have .022, snugged, not torqued.

Been seeing this come up a lot lately and really feel stupid regarding the modification. Does it do ANYTHING other than help feed #4 main? Also ...if my clearances are spot on, what benefit would it provide?

As some of you guys may know, I'm putting together another bullet this winter as I ran into some nice parts and a bit of unexpected cash. Currently running a ported Super Victor in a 560 horse engine and I really don't have a problem with it. It's only downfall is torque. Just not much there...

Just got my heads back from Hughes today and thought I'd share a few pics. They're kinda crappy(old camera), but not too bad. Well, I opted for the full CNC deal. Far as they could go before going Bigmouth. Dealt directly with Tim due to some not so good stories I heard. He told me he'd be...

Ok so we have 2 solid roller cams with .640/.640 lift, 255/263@ .050. Both identical these specs, but.. Cam A has a 110 LSA and 104 ICL Cam B has a 106 LSA and 100 ICL Assuming we run them both in the same 11 to 1 stroker with great heads.. How will they compare?
