I just got back from dropping off the car. The rain was just starting as I left. The previous rain had pretty much drained off and the grounds...
Just a heads up. We had over 3" of rain here night before last, so the fairgrounds are a little soggy. I'll be out there with my Biscayne Fri,...
A 396 + .030(4.125) with a 454 crank(4.0 stroke) will give you 427.65 cu. in.
I had a Holley 8007 390 carb on a Offy manifold on the 194 in my Chevy II. It ran a WHOLE lot better and had better fuel economy than the stock...

Welcome from Cincinnati. Enjoy your project.
I was raised that a mans word is his bond. Obviously many people don't feel the same way. About 9 years ago, the ex wife was set to buy a business...
Very cool vid! I'm a Chevy guy, but I LOVE those SOHC motors!! :D
Yellow rr, this sounds a lot like what we experienced summer before last. The ex and I had her 64 Chevy II wagon at a local cruise-in and when we...
Well, it sounds like we did the same job for the same company. When the store I was working in was closed, instead of moving me to another store...

A friend on mines son is 19 and has a 57 1 ton pickup. He got it about 2 years ago from Cali. It still has the black plates on it. :D When we were...
There are some SWEET engines in this thread. I have to say, I think this takes the engineering award. Inquiring minds NEED to know....how much...
Here's the engine in my 67 Biscayne. Yes, it's also my avatar.
^^^^ Good Advice ^^^^^
Agreed. Also keep the cam duration on the smaller side. Something with an operating range of 2-6000 rpm with around 110-112° of lobe sep.
Panic, you are correct about the velocity. That is the reason you want to find a manifold with the longest runners(not the largest) and the...
The specs are: In. 246° @ .050, Ex. 254° @ .050. In. Lift .615, Ex. Lift .636 Lobe sep. 114° for the nitrous....
