Well I called the shop and the new owner is the guy who built my trans. Looks like it got a Turbo Action steel 4 pinion carrier, a Turbo Action RMVB with NBA-1. He also remembered they did a 19 spline input shaft. Nice guy. He emailed me a copy of the bill now I can order something. Thanks for...

We have a couple of small stations who sell 93/no alcohol, my car likes it.

Who the heck let that poor chattered mess out the door. I owned a small home porting shop. I had Neway hand cut carbide cutters. Came in if I remember right 5 angles. Using a t handle I made better seats than those. That’s junk. Never heard of lapping compound I guess. I’ll bet you got a good...

I bought the CNC Stealths. Double springs and 10 degree locks. Put them on a 2355 flat top, .017 down. Isky 292 mega cam, 242@050 .500 lift, 108 Lsa, rpm intake, 750 Holley. 2800 stall, 3.73 gears and a Detroit locker. 275/60/15 tires. Mild idle. 750 hot in gear. Drives easy or boils the tires...

I use to heel and toe the gas pedal/brake. Heel gas toe the brake. Worked pretty good if the gas return spring was not a double.

I would think those slots would work but maybe load the oil wrapped around the crank assembly even more. With a crank scraper it would be fine. All I did was chuck the pushrod cup end in a lathe and use a v shaped bit on its side and cut a .005 deep groove from the oil groove to the face of the...

63 Polara. 440, Stealth heads, Doug’s 2 inch 452 headers

I always used Black Moly Extreme Pressure grease on the lobes and lifters.

I worked for a large engine builder. We had 3 wet spin stations. Every long and short block got hooked up to a warm 45psi oil supply and spun at 800 rpm. We adjusted valves and checked compression I can tell you that without an oil pan or intake the amount of oil spun up on the cam was amazing.

My wife bought me the full Borgeson kit. I’m very happy with the results.

I really enjoyed following your build. It’s sad to see something so awesome wounded. I’m gonna follow this time to.

Hi guys. 68-500 That’s the plan now. I’m thinking 20 at idle,36 by 3000 BSB67 Cam is Isky 292 mega. 242@050 108 Lsa 104 Icl.500 lift. Speed pro 2355 .017 down .039 gasket CNC stealth heads. Compression should be about 10.5. Its pretty mild Remcharger I do believe the valve may be opening...

New problem. I just had a wide band O2 sensor and gage installed along with a vacuum gage. Car was sucking gas on the highway like a crew of sailors on liberty. Found out my neutral hot idle vacuum is 8 to 9 at 1000 rpm my in gear idle at 750 is only 3.5. I have a 4.5 power valve in it. O2...

I used the cnc stealth heads on my 76 440. The PO had punched it .030 and did not deck it. He used speed pro 2355 flat tops at .017 down the hole, a .051 fel pro. Topped with stock 452’s, the cam was a small comp hyd. If I remember right 215/220@.050. It pumped 180 and pinged on 91 with octane...

Thanks Doug. Perfect answer. I think I’m gonna get the trans pulled and send it off to get done like I wanted. I never wanted a RMVB with a no band apply first. Want it to shift itself he told e he removed the governor. The upgraded drums are ok I asked for a street strip trans. Maybe I’ll swap...
