thanks guys, at this point everything relies on the rod selection. can't order the rotating assembly until i decide on the rod length. and of...
joe, the plan is to put this build in an mostly original '67 corvette and it needs to retain the stock appearance.
joe, i agree, not only are 350 blocks cheap but i could probably buy a nice crate motor cheaper than i could build it. problem is, i'm trying to...
ekimneirbo, lots of great info in that article, afraid a lot of it is above my pay grade.
lumpy, you're right and you're not the first person to tell me that i'm nutz. if i had any sense i'd get a crate motor and be done with it for a...
the block is a small journal '67 657 block. my understanding is that these blocks were cast to accommodate both journal sizes and come with some...
hi all, i'm gathering the parts to stroke a chevy sb 327 to 383 and trying to decide between 5.7" and 6" rod lengths. aside from all the other...

hi all, i'm installing a borgeson power steering box in a 65 falcon with a late 90's 302 ford motor sports crate motor with a shorty water pump...
sorry about that, PS= passenger side head. everything inside the bell housing is dry including the plugs and rear main seal.
this leak is driving me nuts. it's a '68 gen 1 SBC with the crank case vent tube next to the distributor. the oil puddles on the block below the...
thanks guys for all the thoughtful and informative replies. i've got a lot to learn but it sounds like the key is finding a shop i can trust and...
i'm replacing a Powerglide with a TH350 in a low horse power application (300hp/350lbs/ft when the engine was new 53 years ago). based on advice i...
hi butch, i was hoping i'd find something like that but all is good. jim, unfortunately everything in the cap and what i can see up in the block...
tickety boo, good point, i haven't had the intake off and don't know the condition of the tomato can or if it even has one. but i can blow through...
thanks for the input guys. guess i should start with this is a late 327 with a '68 casting date with sealed valve covers, rear breather tube, and...
well i installed the new felpro BS118291 double lip (the journal had a very slight wear groove) rear main seal but no joy, it still leaks. i have...
thanks guys, i just pulled the tranny (what a tight fit!) and have some of the parts on the way.
jaracer, the plan is to skip the kick down linkage on the th350 and just use the shifter. 55, it looks like the PG and the short shaft 350 are the...
jim, yes, it uses a rod. i'm hoping i can find a the lever for the shifter on the transmission locally or just fabricate one.
hi jim, it's in a '67 corvette.
hi all, i'm in the process of rounding up parts and i'm getting conflicting info on what will swap directly and what will need to be sourced. it...
jim, as always, your advice is much appreciated. thank you sir.
jim, just leave the pin where it is and it'll stay put when i pull the cap? old wolf, i think i've chased down just about everything but the rear...

i'd thought about that since i'm going to paint it anyway. but being lazy was trying to avoid putting any labor into it since they're not very...
