    RB engine priming question (Yup, I searched)

    It has been my experience with the big block Chryslers that the right bank (2,4,6,8) will prime when #6 cylinder is on TDC and the left bank (1,3,5,7) will prime when #8 is at TDC.

    Where Are the 361 Owners?

    The last 361 owner I personally knew died in 1992....my Dad. His 361 powered 1959 Plymouth ran 150 mph on the salt flats in 1959. The engine they said wouldn't run.

    400 bigblock 1971 August 22nd production date

    Yeah the 1976 block isn't worth squat. I wouldn't put anymore than 750 horsepower through it. Oh, the same goes for the 1971 block too.

    Whats decent at the wheels horsepower and torque

    Chassis dynos are a funny thing like engine dynos. They are good to test changes like tunes or part swapping but you will get different results on different dynos. I even experienced vastly different results on back to back pulls on a chassis dyno. We went to 'Chrome in The Dome' at Pocatello...

    440 in a Challenger on the chassis dyno..... Chassis dyno results with flywheel guess Ahem, I belive the flywheel estimate to be a bit high.

    Hand ring filer vs electric

    Exactly my experience right down to the yellow stripe. I loaned out my hand filers 6 years ago and they never came back. See the borrower in town on a regular basis and never asked for them back....I like the electric too much.

    F.A.S.T. 505/535 build

    Hi Matt, Cody and I don't even do cylinder heads anymore, out of the business. Have already turned down a lot of work this year in the engine department. I probably won't be of much help but the in-box is cleared.

    HV vs Standard oil pump

    If you say so, but that has not been my experience. Maybe that is why God made by-pass valves? Oh, never mind.

    HV vs Standard oil pump

    There shouldn't be that much resistance in a HV oil pump unless you are running straight STP. I always use HV pumps and 30W break-in oil in new engines here in the shop. Often priming the engine by hand with a 1/4" drive speed wrench and see 65-70 psi.

    Feedback on my combo.

    Love those 63's and took my 1st drivers test in one. 383, headers, push button manual reverse shift automatic. Examiner wasn't impressed and I just barely passed. One weekend Dad and I were at Dick Landy's shop with the '63 and we traveled north to a drag strip with Dick, Doug Lovegrove, and...
