I've stayed on that stretch of Rt. 11 and wouldn't recommend it either. I'd look past the turnpike towards the fairgrounds. I bet you'd be OK with the Holiday Inn Express on 11. Like I said, there's usually activity there at night. At the least you can sit on the parking lot edge and watch cars...

I think it would be a good idea to try and arrange an evening get-together. I've been going to Carlisle since the '90s and as far as I know there's never really been a big cruise scene. It might be too spread out for that. Make it a spontaneous pop-up style thing thing and maybe post the info...

Here are my pics. Carlisle 2025

Come, on, Comp Cams are fine. I'm not a shill for them and could care less about what brand anyone chooses but the reality is that they sell millions of camshafts a lot of which are spec'd by pro builders. If they were really poor quality they'd be out of business. I'd bet that most Comp Cams...

We actually were shooting for around 450 hp so we were happy with the numbers it put up. It's really only 1 hp/c.i. (438") which is a basic hot rod engine. We purposely kept it mild for low maintenance and drivability. Regardless, it sounds great, can do block-long burnouts and will break the...

Sorry, that's just not true. I built a 383/438" 9.3:1 stroker for a friend with untouched "OOTB" Stealth heads that made around 450hp/475lb ft of torque with a relatively mild Hughes cam. Headers, Performer RPM intake, 750 DP carb. OK, it had Comp Magnum roller rockers... "Mineshaft" air that...

If all you want is a street/highway cruiser don't put a number on it. No matter what, a 400 will need pistons which is where it starts to get expensive. Also, it makes little sense to spend a grand+ on pistons etc. if you're going to handicap the rest of the combo. The 400's best attribute is...

I imagine there is someone out that's done it or at least tried but the problem is there's no adjustment with stock, stamped-steel rockers. With the stock parts, lifter preload is set by torquing the shafts to spec. which is the limiting factor in how big you can go. Personally, I would not run...

If it's a stock 400, you will definitely need pistons to make any sort of power so if you have to spend money already just go right to a stroker. And why limit yourself to 451"? A low deck 400 can be stroked to over 500" for similar money. The Thermoquad and exhaust manifolds will work fine...

Are you referring to the female-recessed galley plugs in the back of the block? Since you can weld, maybe find an extra male square plug that fits into it and weld a bolt head onto it or machine/grind wrench pads into it. Or just find a piece of square stock to fit and turn it out with an...

It's the splines!

Yeah yeah, same old story, another win, blah blah blah… :poke:

Again, before doing anything else or spending another dime, ensure the engine is in good condition. Maybe do a compression or leak down check, verify 100% there are no exhaust or vacuum leaks, make sure the fuel level is correct, all your bolts are tight, etc. If you haven't done any of this...

A cheapo... what - air fuel ratio gauge? What "Edelbrock chart" are you referring to? Can you maybe give a little more detail on what the engine is and what parts are on it? Are you tuning a carburetor or some sort of EFI? What are you doing when trying to "lean out" the right side? Check...

What device are you using to monitor the a/f ratio? What do you mean by "3 stages leaner"? Have you checked for intake or exhaust leaks? From Holley: "Mounting the oxygen sensor in the correct location is vital for proper functioning. Proper placement of the sensor should ideally be between six...

Bought one of these kits from you guys for my E-Body 4 speed conversion. It is slick!

I used an American Powertrain hydraulic throwout bearing in my '68 Coronet. I didn't have any mechanical linkage either as it was converted from an automatic. No overcenter spring required since these hydraulic throwouts are all diaphragm type clutches. I loved it, worked awesome. Smooth, linear...

So the word on the street is that 440 Source is going to be producing and potentially shipping their first clean slate design cast iron 440 blocks by the end of this year. Supposedly these will be in full production by next spring. This is huge news for the Mopar hobby and everyone should be...

MCACN 2025 is November 22-23.

440 is fine though heavier. No replacement for displacement. To be clear, a stroker based on a 400 is the best option for big blocks of any flavor. Largest standard bore of all three. FYI, 1968 383 pistons were positive deck height as proved by the image below. My '68 Coronet had the matching...
