I just bought a Motor from someone that had it built by Hensley Performance for his Lil Red Express Truck. Since it was built for a Truck, It has Rear Sump Oil Pan. I will be putting this Motor in Duster. Do I have to swap the Oil Pan to a center sump or will a Rear Sump work in an A Body?

I know asking which Cam to go with is a lot like asking which girl is prettiest.. But.. I am rebuilding a 440 for the first time. I have built several small blocks over the years but this is my first Big Block. Looking for opinions on which Camshaft to go with?? Car Street/Strip 1971 Duster...

How critical is it to have a closed PCV system vs an open PCV system? I have a new 408 that is just starting to get broke in. Like many "uninformed" before me I did not understand the importance of a PCV system. After chasing a oil pan leak and then reading a good bit here, It seems that just...

I found a fairly good deal on a Crate 408 Short Block to replace my 340 that recently took a dump on me that I am very seriously considering. The Crate engine is using a Scat externally balanced cast crank. Since I already have a new Neutral Balance 3000rpm converter that was for my 340: 1...

While my 340 is down due to a wiped lobe on the cam and since I have decided that I need to do a full rebuild, Might as well go all the way and Stroke it while I am at it. This will be my first solo engine build and want to make sure I am getting the right combo. Recommendations and suggestions...

Looking for general opinions here. I have a 340 that was completely rebuilt about 14 years ago however the car sat in storage for 12 of those years and the engine probably only has about 500 miles at most. I got the engine back out towards the end of last year and got it going again. Runs...

I did a lot of searches here and see this subject has been beat to death and opinions are widely varied on the Speedmaster/Procomp Aluminum heads. I was about to pull the trigger on some Eddy RPM`s after hearing all the mixed reviews on the procomps and there was only about a $400 difference...

I recently had a Lifter fail and wiped a lobe off my cam and decided that since the motor is now tore down, It is time to do some serious upgrades. Engine: 1969 340 Stock Steel crank and rods .030 over KB Sivolite Pistons Rotating assemble appears to be solid and I do not plan on changing...

I was hoping someone could walk me through the proper way to Adjust the valves on a 340 that has 273 Adjustable Rockers and Hydraulic cam and lifters. The engine was built many years ago by father, ran for a brief while and than sat for a long time. I have it running again but there is some...
