Hey! Those are pictures of my stock 49 plymouth that someone shopped.
The tub in my ava has a 322 Buick with a crank-mounted fan. Needed due to how low the cut-down T rad is. It works perfectly and permits the fan to...

Yes, fuel pressure is too high. 2 to 2.5 for 97s. Fix that first and take it from there.
Split and the mufflers from a Jag XK 120, 140 or 150.
Nailhead. They are awesome. That's a '53 322 with 3 97s and a Dynaflow in my ava.
Set something inside that is heavy, like a thick bag then lead shot or something like that. Maybe even chain. Lay it right over the crown of the...

OP, fantastic! You can knurl those piston skirts. There is a tool that mounts to a vise. An old engine shop will have one. We have also just used...
Thank you for the kind words! You likely do not need to rebore and most certainly not liners. Remove the ridge, hone the bores, and knurl the...

Damn, PowerGlide for the win. They are awesome behind a 283. (Seriously! I am not joking.) And everyone and their brother has a 350. I have...
I am not sure that is correct. By 'come out' do you mean offered from the factory in a built automobile? That may not be the same as when the...

The 218 and 230 motors are the same length. These are the 'short' motors. Chrysler and DeSoto and many if not all Canadian cars used the 'long'...
Now what about on a 307 (283 block with a 327 crank and IIRC stock large-volume chamber heads)?

Strength of the casting - no. Compression ratio - infinitesimally. Not to worry; it is insignificant. BTW, unless you are running at Bonneville...
Smooth it out with a RoLoc, skim the head and run it.
Yes, it will work better if you pull the distributor vacuum from that port on the carb.
