Measure from the front of your tire horizontally in line with the leaf spring to the fold in the fender .My 67 with a 30" tire will rub there. So that should help you choose the diameter. Lets say you have a 30" tire on now.and it is 1 " from contacting that lip at 31" you will be 1/2" away from...

Use the race gas additive one that Mentor has recomended. If you have iron heads it is worce than aluminum.Check your cranking pressure with aluminum heads you must be under 200psi and use 94 octane and up. Race gas additive really does work. Be carefull of others.

LY rods are good rods but they are used.Used anything in a motor has an expiry date( worn out ) Nobody knows when it is.Having said that new H beam rods are good if they are not the cheapest you can find. Eagles,Hughes,K1,Manley,etc. are good.Resizing old rods is a must and should only be done...

Dynamic( Frank Lupo ) do all manufactures converters,Chey, Ford them all . Best place to get a high end unit will do what they say every time. They also do trannsmitions on site as he owns Proformance trannsmitions as well . Good Luck !

I have had three different engines with TTI headers. All three sets rusted the first year. The coating is guaranteed for life but you must pay all the shipping to them and back. So if you live near them they will be a good buy,otherwise for get the crappy rusting sob's

Solid roller cams are the best power producers .You need the cam,roller lifters,good valve train, TD,Harlem Sharp,Jessel,very good valve springs I am using Pac with good luck right now,the cam company will recommend the specifications for you,bronze distributor gear(composite ones are only used...

66 seats. I have two 1967 Belvedere bucket seats. Tough shape but all there. I don't do pictures and I am in Canada. I know these are extremely hard to find. I am not going to use these. I am positive as I removed them myself from the car. If you cannot find any others call me and see what we...

The best pass for this engine is 10.80@125mph or 6.80@100mph in the 1/8 th mile

What a shame you spent money on a new carb.I run a 3 circuit Dominator and it works outstanding.We did change the air bleeds a bit but once you get it they work awsome.

HP Nice build.I have a 67 Belvedere 1 .It is absolutely mint.I built a 496 for it about 7 or 8 years ago.Hughes engines sold me all the parts and spec'd it all out for me.It is a 13.4 compression ratio, Diamond dome pistons,Hughes H beam rods,Eddy RPM heads CNC'd by hughes,84cc...

Make sure you put a good bolt in sprag ( over running clutch ) in you 727 it is the most important part in them !

A stroker is nice and certainly every bit as reliable as a 440 but, they use more gas and need better cooling.What is wrong with the crank you had in the motor home engine ? A lot of them came with forged cranks.The cast cranks are good for 550 - 600 HP range.LY rods are very good rods also...

Leave it like it is if you are satisfied.Cam is soft,converter is low,gearing too high,and too week( you will need a Dana60 eventually to handle the power) headers are small, carb is small, bigger tires/rims etc. If you start changing things to pep it up you will get into all the things i...

I have a 572 wedge. 11.5 car with aluminum heads. Will run on 91. A great one to talk to and build your engine is Hughes engines. Dave did a 493 for me years back that had 13.4 car and I raced it and street drove it for 6 years running on pump 93. It all goes by your camshaft and cranking...
