There was an episode of Vice Grip garage that featured a 318, with a 360 stroke crank and they adapted LS Shiverlay rockers. I don't know if the...

In my case, I've had the single purpose "Hot Rod" (actually a dedicated drag car) that spent its life in the garage, and only being brought out to...
I should have pointed you to post #50 on my build post. (Use the link below). Has a photo of the rod rod end on the linkage rod. 3/8" rod ends....

I'm with rest of you cheap bastards. I did my own paint. Used off the shelf single stage paint colors from Summit. I have about 600 bucks in...

Can you mount it to the distributor body like the one in the picture? [ATTACH]
