    Ductile Iron Rockers: Outdated? Or good investment?

    Think I made the statement that my rockers are factory originals. If you want to accuse people on this forum of being lazy, dumb or ignorant, find another forum. Your politics don't give you the right to talk to anyone here that way, if you can't respect who you are talking to, take it some...

    Ductile Iron Rockers: Outdated? Or good investment?

    Well it all goes back to what you plan to use it for. If you is just an everyday driver worrying about that little bit of geometry will never be noticed in seat of the pants. That also goes for the high lift extreme ramp cams. If you are looking for driveability and dependability your cam will...

    Ductile Iron Rockers: Outdated? Or good investment?

    I picked up a set of factory arms at the swap meet a few months ago at MOParty. I gave $225 and I'm missing 1 spring. Mancini has these. I had been watching to come across a set for a couple years. I did a lot of research and if you're not racing and it's only a street engine ductile iron is...

    Camshaft brand selection

    Edelbrock may own them both but they may not be getting their blanks from the same vendor. It seems no one much had this lobe problem before they took zinc out of oil. You woudl only see a wiped lobe on a 100,000 mile engine. now it seems too many don't make it past break in. Has me thinking...

    Camshaft brand selection

    I've seen people run .500 lift without an issue on no relief flat tops but it does have to be in time. The Crower 271HDP was one of the most popular cams to run in a stock or near stock BBM and the lifts are both aproaching .500 and I've never heard of anyone bending a push rod due to a valve...

    Rocker arm choice for my 440 build? (Non roller)

    Rob already sold them also. I know, I was getting inline when the SOLD came through. Mancini has these new for a small block, I wish they would make them for a BB.

    383 rebuild advice needed

    cdr, you didn't read it all. I will get a quench when I go to the Stealth heads, not the 906. By using the different thickness head gaskets I can run the 906 heads till I have my money saved for the Stealths. This way I just do a head swap and the bottom end is good. With pistons on a zero deck...

    Big Block Roller Rockers

    A few years ago I happened upon a '70 Torino GT, silver, blue strobe stripe, rear window louvers, 351 Windsor, hide away lights, AOD, power windows and tilt wheel and A/C, PS, PB. Nice car to drive. Perfect for things like Power Tour. In Knoxville, about 6 hours from me. $7500 and I thought...

    Big Block Roller Rockers

    I saw a set of Crane ductile iron rockers at a swap meet last year and I've been kicking myself since I passed on them. I spent my money on B Body belt line trim that fits a Plymouth. You can find it for a Charger but it's hard to find for a Plymouth and that's what I spent my money on. If he is...

    Big Block Roller Rockers

    Small cam, Crower HDP271 or HDP282. I plan on a set of Stealth heads and wanted to go to new rockers at that time. The ones on my 906s have 100k miles. I saw these and they are not much more than replacement stamped steel. I'm not racing, just want something to hold up good in daily street use...

    383 rebuild advice needed

    I'm planning a 383 really close to this. My plan is as follows: a set of Ross pistons with the wrist pin set to where i have a zero deck height. a stock .020 shim head gasket and my 906 heads a slight cut to set the cc to about 84-86cc, this should have me about/around 9.5:1. Crower HDP271 or...

    Direct Connection aluminum finned valve covers?

    I gave this a bunch of research and studying before even seeing this thread. First, these were never made for a Big Block, only chromed stamped with Direct Connection. I'm planning to buy a set of MOPAR Performance covers, put them on the mill and remove the MOPAR Performance. Then order a pair...

    Big Block Roller Rockers

    Anyone have any experience with the Speedmaster/Procomp kits? Wondering if they are any good, accurate to 1.5 ratio, if they hold up to street use? Thanks, DC...

    915 heads

    975, that would make sense. they were dirty and had that baked on gunk so I bet you're right. the guy thought he had 915s and so did I till I turned them over. Jerry, I have family in Millbrook. The guy that owns High Caliber in Prattville is one of my oldest friends. When we were kids we...

    915 heads

    I don't think they were machined. They looked about like the 906s on my 383. Small blocks exhaust ports are not square. If I see them again at another show I'll get pics. I figured they were some non-hp non-67 model heads. Jerry, where in Alabama are you located? I'm in Killen.

    915 heads

    Saturday, I was at them MOPAR by the Lake show in Cullman, Al and a man had a set of heads with 915 casting numbers but were open chamber small valve heads. They were laying on his trailer chamber down and I got excited when I saw the paint stick 915 on the ends and really fired up when I...

    A518 Ultrabell with column shift

    Ok, I'll take a look at it then. I just knew what the other one said and really had my car not been number matching I wouldn't cared so much about the block. Thanks

    A518 Ultrabell with column shift

    The adapter I looked at required you to cut of the part that sticks out under the starter when bolted to a stock 727 bellhousing because the 904/A518 bellhousing places the starter is a lower position. Read this and go down to where it says "Detailed Instructions" and look just below that and...
