    318 with chocolate milk

    Well, I sent her a little too hard during my last track visit. I think I may have found the coolant leak source but, I’m not 100% sure. You all see anything I may have missed?

    318 Magnum vs the world

    This Dodge 318 was in the junkyard earlier this year. After being plucked from the yard and overhauled on a 5 year old’s budget, it’s out here at the drag strip collecting wins and leaving people scratching their heads.

    Super Budget 318 Hits the Dyno!

    It’s been a busy summer. I built this little 318 for the 3k drag challenge and was pretty impressed by it. It had sat in a junkyard for a decade before I picked it up. I just had to see what it ran on the Dyno. With these power levels and a 9.47sec pass in the 1/8 (with no tune and dragging...

    Lost oil pressure while driving, ideas?

    So I was cruising on the hwy at about 60 mi/h when I noticed the engine pitch start to change. I immediately looked at my gauges and noticed that my oil pressure dropped from 30 psi to 0. My temp was still the same. I pulled over, popped the hood and checked the oil. Still full and clean as far...

    How bad is it?

    So I attempted to fire up my 360 for the first time yesterday. It started just fine but then died about 10 seconds later. Then I notice that there was a coolant leak coming from the aft part of the intake manifold. The leak was so bad that when I poured coolant in the radiator it started to pour...

    Will my Edie heads work?

    Hey so I just purchased my edelbrock aluminum heads and I realized that I ordered the heads set up for a flat tappet cam. The springs are set to 128 ft-lbs. I have a 91 roller block. I guess edelbrock sells a head setup for a roller cam. Anyways, will my heads still work?

    Hey how many miles would a properly built 416 stroker( all forged bottom end) last? It seems like a lot of money for an engine that may not last that long. Anyone have any high mileage strokers?
