    Classic Auto Air vs Vintage Air for non AC car

    I caved and bought the Classic Auto kit. I have heard it performs better, and for me the layout of the controls looked way better than how the Vintage Auto Air unit was set up.

    Issues with 440 Source Oil Pan

    I filed out the holes to make them work…and it did flatten out once the nuts were tightened down. It’s frustrating to have those issues for sure. Some studs are clearly under more tension than others. Supposedly all were test fitted on an engine there, but my oil pan studs didn’t all line up...

    Which ATI Super Damper?

    I have a 400 stroker with the AE engineering Billet timing cover and stock alternator and power steering brackets. I would assume I want the 2 ring ATI for stock locations? I hate to play 1000 questions, but this is my first build and I don’t want to buy the wrong parts. I have been...

    Picking the right head gaskets.

    Something like this?

    Picking the right head gaskets.

    How much over the 4.375 bore would you go? 4.380 or possibly a bit bigger? It seems some advise 0.01 over bore diameter.

    Picking the right head gaskets.

    For a 4.375 bore motor, what size gasket would you go with? Is 4.380 good? I have heard you want it slightly bigger than the bore. Also, are mopar performance ones any good? They have a set at .025 which would bump up my CR a bit. With a 0.039 head gasket, I should get 10.4:1. I would assume...

    WTB Used 0.040 thickness big block mopar head gasket

    This may be an odd request, but does anyone have a used/compressed big block head gasket they would be willing to sell? I need to make measurements, but would prefer not to waste a perfectly good new head gasket.

    Questions about measuring pushrod length

    They are ball on both ends. Of course I have the wrong adjustable pushrod tool. You think it’s fine just assuming PTV is good with those specs? I know it’s best to actually measure, but how risky is just throwing the heads on and measuring pushrods?

    Questions about measuring pushrod length

    It’s their -24cc dish piston…from what I gather their kits have icon pistons. Cam has duration of 243/251 at 0.050” and an “advertised” duration of 295/303.

    Questions about measuring pushrod length

    So maybe I’m better off buying a single new “test” head gasket?

    Questions about measuring pushrod length

    I am getting close to needing to measure pushrods and check PTV clearance and had a few questions. For a bit of background, I am building a 400-512 stroker with tfs270 heads, t&d 1.6 rockers, and a lunati voodoo hydraulic roller cam with comp cams evolution lifters. Any ideas on what length...

    Tips for first engine fire and break in

    I am almost done piecing together my 512, just a few more odds and ends are needed. I had considered buying or building a run stand to test fire it outside of the car in case I have any leaks or issues. But I was watching the total seal ring channels video and they recommend breaking in the...

    Thoughts on HRC, Summit and Comp Cams evolution lifters

    Any thoughts? I tried to order the Howard Max effort hydraulic roller lifters, but they were backordered. Summit has their rebrand Summit Brand ones in stock for like $640, I believe they use Morel? I did also find the comp cams evolution lifters. They are supposedly user serviceable and sound...

    Throttle body EFI (Holley Xflow) vs Multiport on Indy max wedge

    Mostly street use. But I would like to track it. It’s on the spicier side of street builds. Ideally something I could take on hot rod power tour one of these years and not have durability/reliability issues. I currently have a Holley xp950 plus for it.

    Plug and wire suggestions MSD Pro Billet/ TFS 270

    What do you guys suggest for plug wires? MSD makes a 8.5mm kit, summit has a Taylor 8mm set, and I have also heard of the custom sets. Also, what plugs for a street strip 512 with Trick flow 270 heads and 10.5:1 compression on 93 octane?
