I have a set but they aren’t cheap. Very good condition.

Be very careful about proper preparation and needs to install aluminum heads no matter who makes them. Block surface, head bolts, head gasket, dissimilar materials, coolant, rocker hardware, checking spring pressure etc. all come into play. It can cause problems further down the road and I...

Like mentioned before pull the drums, tighten and check to see if the drum did affect the tightening. While you have the drums off get to the axle adjustment side of the rear and make sure you can push in the axle flange and then pull out again to verify that the axles do have play. You should...

It’s been very busy. Shoot me a message if you don’t hear back in a few days

I have some and will get back to you

I’m wondering if your fuel pump was providing enough fuel causing a lean situation. It’s a catch 22. The ability to rip the tires now is overwhelming. How much power is really needed on the street. My 440 provided more than enough to get me in trouble. I have switched to aluminum heads...

are you still looking?

Plenty of time to do it wrong. Not enough time to do it right…..

I don’t agree with “the damage is done. It can’t hurt it anymore” “start the engine”. And they kept accelerating the engine. If I heard that I would shut it down right away. I’ve seen Nick rev a hemi? engine that had a puff of smoke issue higher and higher on the dyno until it had catastrophic...

A lot of stuff mentioned. Compression ratio can be a factor. I have a 22” in front of a stock 383 no problem but my 440 with 11 to 1 has the biggest rad I can fit cause it needs better cooling capacity. The mention of burping is very important. Not overfilling is also important. Checking...

Have you tried disconnecting the fuel line at the carb end and pumping the fuel into a container with someone cranking the engine?

and make sure you install the arm on the correct side.....

I can't really tell from the photo but as stupid as it may sound check your arrow direction that it's not in backwards.....

When you tighten the eccentric bolts it should squeeze up against the sleeves inside the bushings and tighten without crushing the poly bushings. When tight you should be able to rotate the arm up and down without the arm interfering with the frame. The eccentric bolts should be able to move the...

So without the bushings installed the arm will fit inside the area. When you installed the bushings the setup is too wide. The bushings cannot be for that arm. They are probably for OEM but not for the aftermarket which is stupid but that's what can happen when aftermarket stuff gets involved...
