Right on Target ^^^^RmK57 and Kerrynzl With the late model 8.203" deck block, 3" stroke crank, 5.090" stock length rod and the typical Speed-Pro 4...
As a general rule, the Thumpr cams need a lot more initial timing to idle correctly. They have a tight lobe separation so that means a lot of...
My uncle used to do the same in his Sprinter back in the day...except they used the over-the-counter 302 (z28) short blocks, added their cam,...
You can easily figure out all the cam specs yourself. Just put it into the block along with the crank, hook up the timing set, and drop in #1...
Yeah, this would be a perfect fit if you ask me. Use it to entirely replace the shackle and bolt the Heim/Spherical bearing right into your...
I see what you are trying to do, but 7/16" Heim is way too small.....5/8" would be bare minimum and 3/4" would be best. You have to consider the...
NGK, followed by Denso and then Autolite and Bosch. Champion the worst, AC Delco is now up to second worst. Gimmick plugs like E3 or SplitFire...
I know the car is off-topic for this site....but the write-up on the home-built steel bellhousing is excellent and has great photos. Click on...
Backing plate off the BOP 8.2 will have a larger center hole and different bolt pattern as the BOP used a large press-fit axle bearing and...
Usually the only place you see rear power valves anymore is circle track or road race calibrated mechanical secondary carbs where you might be 75%...
Not exactly a high demand item, not much market.... but the parts already exist....Eagle makes a crank, D.S.S. Pistons has 5.7" rod pistons or...
If it's a flat tappet cam and your current parts are good, take the existing cam and lifters out and send them out for a cam regrind to spec's...
Check the valve tip end of the stock rocker arms, if the valve tip has worn a groove into the flat pallet end, you get a tick you are unable to...
It's just a standard port layout, stock size port gasket. Stock works, pick your brand.
Perfect gasser material. I don't ever want to see that quad headlight crap again....
JPT (Jim's Performance Transmission) in Eaton Rapids, Mi was a proponent of this, even tried to talk me into a C-4 for my Nova instead of the...
I've done several for street/strip cars, starting with full floating hub Dana 60's. Chop off floating hub crap, narrow and add Big Bearing 9" Ford...
Not a stock Ford valve size....standard 302 is 1.78" intake valve, some of the performance stuff and 351W got 1.84". 1.94" is a stock small block...
Generally, it's not the shafts that are worn, it is the softer aluminum carb base. Fix is ream and bronze bush the carb body shaft holes and...
Flo-Tek 180cc.....58cc combustion chamber volume, 1.94/1.54" valve combination, 180cc intake port volume Small chambers to keep compression...
Same here, solid aluminum or nylon button every build without a retainer plate. Can't hurt, low cost protection, more stable ignition timing....
Open differential, Detroit Locker, and solid spool take the same ring gear bolts. Traction-Loc differential takes a different bolt, ....bolt head...
Agree, looks good where you ended up now. Run it Looks like second attempt which had the air gap was too much shim effectively, pattern shifted...
Depends on the year and the HP rating. Some early 350 have the 64cc already. Some 1971-73 have 72 cc, but most '72-later through the smog era 1986...
2-cut or 5-cut gear?? Two Cut vs. Five Cut Ring & Pinion Gears - West Coast Differentials I don't like that sharp cut-off to the pattern at the...
As a general rule, 4 valve relief pistons are stock or lower performance, while 2 valve relief are higher performance pistons. The lower...
Pic shows a dual-stage power valve, typically used on large trucks, buses, motorhomes. Not dual power valves.....dual stage means they have a...
No, it is not a guarantee of 4 bolt mains, I've run across numerous examples that were just 2 bolt main. If it came from a car, most likely 2 bolt...
There has been a change it what was once considered correct. Old way was second ring smaller gap than top ring....not anymore. Now conventional...
The 390 is 4.050" bore standard. So does the 360 Ford FE. Difference is stroke.
