    I still can't tell left from right!

    Ok, this one should be easy. I only have one offset set of 4 MP blue rockers for my w2 heads. Can someone tell me if it is right or left so I know what to order for the other 4 (probably Crane Gold, same as the MP). Thanks!

    Best rocker shafts??

    Where is the best place to buy rocker shafts for "995" Econo W2 heads? I am trying to read up on them, but you know how the internet is lol. These are the long valve version, and the rockers are the blue MP (well, there will be 4 RH intakes that are gold Cranes, from what I have been told the...

    Changing Cam Bearings

    I took the cam out of my 5.9 mag the other day, and all the bearings look great except the next-to-last bearing in the rear. It literally looks like some aluminum-loving termites made some trails on it. My question: can you swap out cam bearings with the rotating assembly in place? I have a...

    Stall decision...I have 2 choices

    I am building a fairly lo-buck set-up for my newly acquired 1968 Dart, and I am trying to plan it all out ahead of time while I wait for the cash to get the rest of the parts. I have a 904 that was gone through a few years ago, I only had maybe 500 miles on it when I took it out. I had...

    Will they work? Or is it even worth it?

    I have a set of 587 heads sitting in the garage, bare. I also have a set of .100+ longer chevy valves that are 2.05/1.6, bought them a long time ago. Lastly, I have a set of comp springs/10 degree locks/titanium retainers that match my cam. Is it worth it to have the seats cut/guides...

    Money vs Horsepower

    Question for you guys. Generally speaking, with cam specs very, very close to each other, how much more power will a solid roller make over a solid flat tappet? Or would you gain more/less streetability? I know that the whole not having to break the roller in would be nice, but I'm kind of a...

    Edelbrock head questions

    Ok, I got a few questions for you guys that have assembled your Edelbrock heads and know some measurements on them. I'm just trying to make a list of what I need for my valvetrain, and I have yet to disassemble the heads. My questions are: 1. What is the installed height of the valvesprings on...

    Kind of strange intake fitment problem...

    Ever have an intake hitting a priority main oiling line? I was just mocking my 422 up, laying the parts on it just to see what it looks like basically, and I noticed that the back of my intake would not go down. I have a 422 stroker/1970 340 block. Decks cut parallel, main studs/girdle and...

    Bushed lifter bores/cam selection?

    I'll make this one short. I have a 422 stroker shortblock that has alot of oilng mods done to it, like priority main, etc. The previous owner did it, so I don't want to deviate far from what he had. My question is, since he had the lifter bores bushed, do I HAVE to run a solid roller? There...

    Question for you guys with Indy heads....

    I have the Indy 245 CNC heads with the rectangle ports. What I'd like to know, before I drop the money on the intake (which I'd like to do asap), is if I can take a standard oval port W2 intake and gasket match/open up the ports to match the rectangle ports on the Indy heads? I'm not afraid to...

    So, I picked up a few parts recently...

    I'm pretty excited about what I purchased lately!! I've been saving like mad, not eating lunch at work, drinking more water than anything, sitting at home doing nothing, all in the name of money. Well, its finally paying off!! I just bought a 422 shortblock, with very little runtime on it...

    What rocker arms would be best?

    I'll be running a Lunati Voodoo 60433 solid roller cam in my 422. Specs are Solid roller, rough idle. Excellent cam for street/strip applications with explosive mid range and upper RPM torque and horsepower. Works well in 340-360 cubic inch engines. Needs 3000-3500 RPM stall speed converter or...

    360 dreaming...

    Ok, its cold and there is 2 feet of snow here in eastern Ohio, so I'm stuck babysitting and dreaming about my 360. Opinions are what I'm looking for. Its an 85' block, crank, and rods. Block will have all the normal machine work done, bore/plate-hone, decked square and zero with the pistons...

    KB 191's in my 360

    I just got a VERY good deal on a set of KB 191's, .040+, for my 360. I have an extra block lying here, rods, crank, x-heads. Here is my question... What kind of machine work is generally required to use these quench-type pistons? I don't have them in my hands yet, so I can't look at them, but...
