Just get a good old 340 or 360 block and put a 4 inch stroke crank in it. Make 408 or 416 cubic inches. Thats pretty big for a small block. Get some good heads and a roller cam and you are off to the races.
I like my job, on the road traveling to different places every day. No boss over me shouting hurry up, I locate natural gas pipe lines, and telecommunications cables .
Everyone's timing setup will be slightly different based on their engine combination. 16 advanced may be just right, i adjust mine until it pings and is hard to start when hot. then I back it off until it runs perfect. Too advanced timing could also be a cause of running hot.
195 t stat is fine, i run one in my rebuilt 440. I drove it all around in 30 degree heat and it never went past 190. I think your problem may be timing related. Also combined with the fact that your engine is new. My 440 got real hot until I ran it a few times. It stopped over heating. If the...
Steel crank damper is round and thin with no lobe to offset for balancing. It is completely neutral balance. A cast crank balancer is thicker, and has a lobe to offset for the balance externally. Also the cast crank balancer should say cast crank or something on it. Most forged steel balancers I...

Are you sure you lined up the marks on your camshaft properly? To degree it either at 0 or-4 or +4 degrees? If yes, it sounds to me like the floats could be stuck in your carb try tapping the bowl area lightly.
My friend just bought a 1987 ram 250 3/4 ton. It is a 318 2 barrel. It starts and drives ok, but wont kick down when you tramp on it. I am thinking the kick down rod may be mis-adjusted. The real problem is that it wouldn't accelerate. It just misses and hesitates real bad. I had to drive it...
I think some different years of torqueflites had different band adjustments. Yours might not have been set correctly. The front drum band adjustment is 1 1/2 turns out on some years and 2 1/4 turns out on others. I have a chrysler service manual from the 70 that gave different specs. Could have...
