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.

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...

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...

Something like this?

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.

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...

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.

Considering selling this to pick up a Holley EFI setup off marketplace. These carbs retail for almost $1300 new. Fuel line and pressure gauge were ordered new off summit. Asking $800 plus like $20 for shipping.

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?

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.

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

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...

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...

I’m buying a 4 speed plate for my car from a fellow member, and have no use for this. It’s in pretty good shape overall. Studs are all intact. Asking $165 shipped in the lower 48.

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...

Cam specs

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.

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?
