68 Charger with Sniper. The 10 micron filter was leaking. Its Holley 162-550.
After removing and draining all fuel I blew through the filter to check for restriction. It felt restricted/clogged. I had another exact filter, blew through it, and it felt normal. So I installed the different...
Well I pulled off the old valley pan and gaskets. I was wrong in my initial observation - there are 2 paper gaskets; one on each side of the valley pan.
I put the new manifold (its not new, I've had it for some time) on the bare heads. Clearance is .000 to .008 between heads and manifold. These...
The engine was built by a pro. The block was decked but I don't know how much was taken off. Enough to get the compression right. The bolts did not have any sealant on the threads. There is one paper gasket on each side and it is on manifold side - nothing on engine side. New manifold (Holley...
400/512, Trick Flow intake, Trick Flow 240 heads. All parts installed new out of box. Low mileage engine, 300-400 miles since built, probably less. Putting smaller intake on so hood can go back on. When I removed Trick Flow intake there was oil on the intake/head mating surface. Oil is on both...
After 24 hours of cover off that stuff is still in the gear. Oil looks like its contaminated with something. Cant be water. Car has never seen rain or wet road since restoration. Never made noise. Strange.
Thanks all
I will get some good tires and go from there. I didn't want to get into the suspension too much if I didn't have to. There's a reason I need this et and the less I have to do to the car the better.

What would be the correct type and size of rear tire? Slicks? Drag radial? No problem changing tires at the track but a street legal tire would be fine with me - if it will work to get to 11,5. I'm also concerned about the rear springs. I really don't want to change them. I've read that others...
Have a 68 Charger that I want to get to 11.5 in quarter. I don’t know what the car weighs but should be a few hundred pounds less than stock.
The car has:
400/511 440 source stroker 600HP/650TQ at 4500 RPM on pump gas
727 (sportsman series) built by Protrans. Billet internals, reverse manual...
I replaced my 7 quart Milodon with a 440 source 6 quart hemi pan and 440 source pickup. The Milodon pan was too low and I put a hole in it. The 440 source pan was delivered damaged. One of the corners was bent up like the pan was dropped. Because time was an issue I repaired the pan instead of...
When I talked to my engine builder about the valvetrain noise he was worried a lifter might be bad. Engine has Gaterman roller lifters. He wanted to open the oil filter up to check for fod. Nothing in the last filter. This was about a week ago. I'm going to put it together and drive it
