    Just got back from PRI, new info on the Trick Flow Small Block Heads!

    Hey All: Was beginning to suppose these were vaporware, but it looks like TFS has made some changes to these since they were announced at SEMA last year. These heads are for shaft rockers, but will work with Magnum engines (!!) with the use of a particular Harland Sharp part number rocker...

    So, here's my nitrous 318 Drag Week adventure...

    Hey All: I know the car is a B-Body, but there are enough 318 threads on here that I thought it was relevant. I recently obtained this car as part of a 2 car deal, so I'm guessing I have less than 1K in it. Its a 1972 Plymouth Satellite 4 door sedan in blah blah beige. A truly nothing special...

    Looking at a '72 Valiant...what do these cars weigh, or what does your combo weigh?

    Hey All Found a solid but slightly overpriced valiant. Its a slant 6 car, bench seat, automatic, etc. Was thinking of using it as a performance buildup, but curious what they end up weighing when all is said and done. I was always really surprised at how heavy my all metal, all glass iron...

    Mopar clutch posi? Boom! Not impressed.

    So, here's what happened after 5 passes on my new clutch Sure Grip. I haven't pulled the hog head apart yet, but I believe these are most of the teeth off of the diff's side gears. I let go of the brake off of the line, there was a loud bang, and then some grinding sounds. The trunk...

    Electric water pump recommendations?

    Hey All: Looking for a small block e-pump recommendation. Would like to be able to cool a 408, and run on the street sometimes. I have a mechanical pump and a 5.9 right now, and it barely keeps pacenow Of course, the Proform is attractively priced, but I don't want to risk an expensive...

    Best flowing big block heads?

    Hey All: What are the best flowing big block heads? I'm talking aftermarket heads rather than factory. I also mean something generally available and useable rather than full-out race unobtainium type stuff. Thanks! Steve

    The Truth about 318s

    OK: I've been trying to perform a 360/5.9 upgrade to my 71 Dart to try to make Pinks All Out in Indy next month. It hasnt been going well. Being faced with some garage time and no opportunity to proceed with my project, I decided to compare the figures in one of my Mopar hot-rodding books...

    587 heads any good? Smog?

    Hey All: I found a 360 here locally. Seems decent enough. It has heads with casting number 3671587 on them. It's a 74 motor. The info I've been able to find on the web says these are smog heads, but there aren't any smog holes below the exhaust ports. Looking to build a motor to 350-375...

    Street Dominator intake any good? 318

    Hey All: Picked one of these up over the weekend. Its a single plane, and it looked to have 318 ports so I did it on impulse. I guess they don't make them anymore. The ports look a little smaller even than the ones on my LD4B, and it sits pretty low on the motor. There'd be no problems...
