I had a 440 based 496 that used a 440 source kit. I used a 6bbl intake, hydraulic roller cam and eddy aluminum heads. It has been a few years since the build and I don't own the car any more, so I don't have the cam specs or recall which heads were used. It was a blast to drive. Below is the...

After a very long, very frustrating, and VERY expensive saga, I finally have a running motor back in my car, complete with new block and new heads. I will spare you the gory details, but here are the spec's of what I have now: 440 based 512 12.7:1 compression indy -1 heads indy 440-25 intake...

Mika my GSP in full point.

Funny story about a loaner car I got once....back in 1989/1990, I had just discharged from the Navy and bought a new Volkswagen Golf. Immediately upon driving off the lot it was apparent something was wrong with the car. I turned around and brought it back to the dealership. They provided me...

I was in my 40's when I joined this site. Does that count?

I have never done a mile, but I have done standing 1/2 mile events. These events recorded MPH only, not time. I have done it in two cars. First was a bone stock 2012 Caddy CTS-V. That car did 135mph. The other car was a C6 Corvette modified with a cam, headers, centrifugal supercharger and...

Welcome from Plant City, FL.

I have one of the Noco jump boxes. It jumps my F-250 with a 6.7 diesel no problem. I have probably used it more on stranded motorists than I have on my own cars. I am considering getting another one just to have in my other car.

One of the bolt holes in my block (440) is stripped (one of the long ones in the middle). A couple of questions, can this be helicoiled, what size/pitch helical do I need. And most important, does the bolt hole go all the way through to the crank case, or is there a bottom to the hole? I don't...

I didn't do a 512, but I did do a 493 is my Road Runner, not an A12, but a well done clone. I kept the HP manifolds, and painted the aluminum heads. Externally, the motor looked stock, but it made 600hp!!! This a waaaaay more power than it needed on the street!

I think the 325's, but I will need to look when I get back home.

Yes. If I am in the 9.90's, I am DONE. I will weld the valve covers down, and bolt the hood shut! That will be as fast as I want to go!! For now.
