That cam will make most of its power below 6000rpm. The RPM manifold is really tough to beat through 5500. I’d go with with it, and would be willing to bet large sums that it would be faster with it than the TM7.
I gave the compressor a workout today, spending much of the day cleaning up this block. The more I saw, the more I smiled! Almost all of the rust was very superficial surface rust, and it came off quickly & easily with a wire wheel. Cylinders are all in great shape; not one single issue in any...
Would not appear to be any stampings above the pan rail at either side. It would seem to have been painted Chrysler blue at some point however.
Distributor pocket is a greasy crusty mess. Not going to get to that today.
As you can see…. You gotta look hard with your “Mopar Engine Builder” glasses on to see the value in this item. But for a guy that has a 400-block based racing program with the current block in use at +.040 & -.020 at the deck, and nothing in the wings….. this feels pretty good.
I’ll just...
Are you Tom? If so it was nice to meet you Thanks. I don’t see it as a lowball.
It looked pretty rusty in the pictures. It’s going to take some work just getting it to the condition where most blocks are sold at. Asking price was $200. I didn’t need it, asked him sight unseen if he’d...
I saw an ad for a somewhat rusty looking Chrysler 400 block near me yesterday so I went to look at it. Bores measured roughly 4.338 with a pair of calipers in a bore with a decent amount of “surface rust”, so std bore is my thought. There was no issues in the bores other than the surface rust...
Need a part number for the smaller pinion bearing, at the spline section of the gear, for a 742-case 8-3/4. Search as I may, I can’t seem to find a P#.
Thanks-
It does run a lokar kick down cable. Seems to shift and kick down on time, but I did not really check that component at all.
I’ll tell him to watch things closely.
thanks!
Update: after the band adjustments, reverse works perfectly. In reverse, it must have been just free-wheeling the drum? Told the owner that loose bands to the point of not having reverse is likely a sign that the transmission is just plain worn out. Nothing broken, but probably needs new...
Found the band adjustments were way loose somehow. Re-adjusted to spec (72”-lbs - 2 turns); and the lever extends about half of what it did prior. Front band also on the loose side, re-adjusted that while I was at it. I’ll button it back up today and see if that makes a difference, and run...
Been busy couple of weeks for me. Had to spend all last week and weekend moving my Mother in law into a home and taking care of all the details and legalities that go along with that. Then this week I’ve been in Dallas on a business trip. Haven’t had a moment to get into the garage. Im...
I’d say it’s more about street pavement than 580hp. I’ve got approx. 650hp under my hood, and a 275/60 ET street would hook it up just fine on a prepped surface. But on the street it would likely go up in smoke with a set of 33x16 Bias Slicks.
If you’ve never stood on a prepped track, you...
I’d run ET Street SS’s on that car, 275/60’s. They’ll hook up a LOT more than what you have, but at the track with proper prep. Nothing is going to keep you stuck on the street. That’s just a reality. Air them down & heat them up and they’d be somewhat successful. But what you see guys do...
