It has been a long day, missed the lash on there
I came across this cam and found a cam card online. Anyone run one of these ever? Trying to figure out of hydraulic or solid, cannot find an old...
I grabbed a random SBC head I have drilled for screw in studs, all lines up perfectly, pushrods etc - so thinking I have my answer
Not yet, only came across these last night - after business hours, I will call, thought someone here may know
I will get some more pics, thanks
Hello All, Not sure if these are from the 60's? Are they Pontiac? Are they SBC? If so are they a direct bolt on to heads that were set up for...
I have seen actual metal freeze plugs in some blocks for this, so want to find one like that
Hello All, I searched threads and cannot find. I need to know the size and where to buy a freeze plug that will fit in the top of an early SBC...
NOS GM style
I am using other heads, looking now
I have a ton of heads in the barn, going to see what I have tomorrow
I have a bunch of fuelies as well, maybe will throw a set of those on
Yes this cam, should be pretty good
The block I have is 30 over and in good shape, just checked it out at friend's shop
Yeah who knows what the comp will be, I will check it out with my friend he is a machinist. For this build I am going with what I have laying around.

That was my dad
Swapping to the other 30 over block I have
Does not look good
It is not deep, I have other motors and blocks, but want to throw this together to see what happens, in hopes it will run decent. Not looking to...
Pics were tough in the barn, I am not where it is today, you can feel it with your finger, would say roughly size of a quarter. It is in one area...
Hello All, I have built a lot or motors, from junkyard dogs to higher end stuff with tons of machining. I picked up an old race motor, high...
Yeah guessing someone cut to make Hemi look-a-like covers, strange
I guess are cut? no bolt holes, I am not familiar, thinking someonw cut to put on another type of engine for a Hemi look? I am baffled....or made...
Yeah not sure what I will do, just in the planning stage now. Thanks for the response!
I am finishing up a couple projects to include a new two story 16x28 mini barn at my house, which I have been wanting to do for the last 15 years,...
