Central Texas! :(
Good dilemma right there. If I am going to spend $100 or more for exhaust inserts, I can just as easily put that money towards different heads...
With 416 head on a stock 307 lower (1968, if it matters) will the CR be low enough to run regular gas? Also, were these 416 305 heads the...
Thinking about it...................
Appearance - somewhat. I want the look of an early SBC, so no center bolt heads and, almost certainly, no Vortec heads (I want to keep a stock...
I've got a '68 307 SBC motor. It's a 283 block with a 327 crank. My understanding is that the stock heads provide something like a 76cc...
DO NOT switch the wires on the ignition coil. The coil is an autotransformer and switching the leads produces lower voltage to the plugs. The...
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...
Just flip the rod over to the other side. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Jaguar 4.2 liter XK engine for sale. Came out of a running automobile. 100,000 miles. Includes all peripherals and accessories (removed for...
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...
I used Valspar applied with a brush it's a shade of gray, don't remember which - and black Rustoleum spray on the head. Intake is brushed-on as...
Bump
Try using wedges in every different direction - up, down, pitch, yaw, combinations - because you will find the position that takes enough pressure...
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...
What he said. They take away from the appearance of the car. Lose 'em. EDIT: They might work if you lay them back so that the top line of the...
PM sent..................
Why? What is wrong with points? They powered millions of vehicles for a hundred years, helped us win wars, and so on. And they will never...
I have a vintage Super T-10 for sale. I am the original owner (bought it over the counter back around the end of the 1960s, when they first came...
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)?
I have a couple of good 218 blocks/motors - available and will gladly sell one or both. PM / conversation time! :)
