I'm running a standard stroke with Mopar Stage V heads fitted with a fully adjustable valve train, like a Chevy small or big block setup. I'll have to get the head numbers next time I'm in the garage, but they are definitely Stage V with 88cc chambers

Sunoco Ultra 94 works! It does the job for my 0.60 over 383 with Ross 10.00-1 pistons with (proper) full advance timing. No pinging or knocking, and it's what a lot of the auto manufacturers recommend today, such as BMW, Porsche, Lexus, Volvo and many more. Premium fuel will be here indefinitely...

Keisler 5-speed TKO-600 conversion from three-on-the-tree

One of the biggest problems I've encountered when building a project occurs when I start pushing forward too quickly. It seems like the harder I push the more it starts to cost, and when it starts costing more the frustration level goes right up there, too. I hear you, so take a step back to...

One thing I do know is that when running Aviation fuel you better have a quality set of forged pistons. I found an excellent reference online that answers all your questions. It was originally published by Hot Rod magazine in September of 1982, reposted by Hot Rod online in 01/2023...

I just came across this post and I'm wondering what you did with the 3:55 "489" center section after the swap. I'm in desperate need of a unit with a 3:55 gear ratio. I know anything can be purchased, but I'm extremely tight on funds and searching for something cheap. Thanks.

If you can find an Ollie's near you, I've been buying cases at a time for the past 4-5 years when it's brought in seasonally @ $5.99 a 12 oz. can. TSC in my area has the same, right now, in stock for $9.99 per 12 oz.

I had a recent scenario where the vibration would begin around 45-50 mph and once above 70 mph it would fade away, but when letting off the accelerator to gradually reduce speed, the vibration would return until the speed was around 55-45 mph. What made the diagnosis difficult was the vibration...

Lots of good ideas already, but the two things I've learned over the years is that a lot of times over-torquing the flange nuts/bolts never works, it just causes more warping & leakage. The other thing I've been doing for years now is to use high temp Permatex red gasket sealer when initially...

I just put 17743 Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers on my 66 Belvedere I wagon with a .60 over 383 with a Keisler Tremec TKO-600. Just doing a walk around to hear what they sound like at idle, I'm satisfied so far. I don't think they're too loud, and to my ears they have a nice sound.
