I love driving my old truck, its a Short Bed 4x4 with an NP435 4spd but the 318 is worn out & too slow. I have a running 400 I was planning on selling & more Gen 2 Hemi stuff than I care to admit. How much trouble would it be to swap in the 400 or one of my Hemi's? Looks like a member here is...

Last year, I was on my way to work making a left turn off the main road at the intersection of a side road. An impatient lady passed me on the left side & my fender + bumper got clobbered when I turned. Her insurance paid. This morning, same intersection, same truck, same turn. I tapped my...

See title for question The pistons are second hand, never used .060 over Arias pistons that were swap meet specials, I assume they're forged. I've got a couple shallow shrapnel grooves in two cylinders in the block. Should I dingle-ball hone it and move forward or go another .005 over and run...

Looking for a used set of pushrods in stock length or very close. For a solid flat tappet 426 Hemi. An old factory set is perfectly fine, maybe even preferred. I have standard size lifter cups and lash adjusters. Some corrosion or 'chatter' marks on the sides don't scare me either as long as...

Well... according to the scheduled B15 build date. I wasn't really paying attention, just sort of dawned on me a couple minutes ago. My road runner was built in November of '69, meaning it turns the big 50! Pretty cool its still on the road after a half century. I bought it 11 years ago for...

What size are the freeze plugs in a 426 Hemi head. I want to order cylinder head freeze plugs for my budget Hemi stroker project before heading home from work today, but I can't find the size online. I'm putting a Summit order together & I'm a little short for 'free shipping'. -Thanks

From a bit of reading online, it looks like the Hemi used the same oil pump as the 440, but with a stiffer pressure relief spring. Is this true? I have a perfectly good low mileage 440 pump I want to use on my 484 Hemi.

I want to use an old Isky cam, but it calls for chilled iron lifters, can I use modern lifters instead? Solid Flat Tappet, 300 lbs open pressure. I guess a more helpful question would be, have any of you tried it?

I have some questions about my early Keith Black block. After a quick Google search of 'Keith Black Inc.' I couldn't come up with a phone number. Since they're under new management, I'm not sure who would be the best resource to talk to regarding my old style block. Needing to know if there is...

As the title asks, is there anyone on here street driving their big-block with NO oil going to the lifter bores? So, it would be splash oiling only.

Choose a rear gear and spec a converter according to your own tastes and what you would do with the car. The engine isn't built yet, feel free to critique the build. 400 9.6:1 Compression (KB240-030 pistons) 915 heads 2.08/1.74, unported clean slate Flowtech Headers (1.75" into 2.5") full dual...

Was on my way to the alignment shop yesterday and the engine was running better than ever in the cool weather. So, I turned onto the highway, yanked the column shift down into 1 and let 'er rip. Shifted into 2 at 6grand and the car was really moving. When I went into 'drive' though, the motor...

The last test and tune day for Muncie dragaway is tomorrow and I plan on making some passes. Specs: '70 RR, Hemi, TF, 3.23 sg. F60-15 Poly GT's, gutted interior. I don't know what the engine makes. I hope its between 450 and 550. Its a 528" but pretty stock otherwise, exhaust manifold's and...

Find some humor in my misfortune Backstory: Decided a year and a half ago to build a hemi for the Road Runner and it was a huge pain in the a$$. The end. Ok, so Tuesday evening it was finally time to fire this thing up! The tank still had 87 in it so that needed to come out. After an hour of...

Hard to decide, better just have two cars with one of each! If you have one post pics!

It won't be long until I have to make a final decision on my cam. I've got it narrowed down to a few, but it's always good to hear outside opinions. Here's the combo: 528 hemi, factory iron heads, compression target was 10:1, worst case scenario could be 10:25:1 (will probably be right at...

What I'd like to do is swap the lids from a couple old non-hemi AFB's to some newer Edelbrocks. All carbs would be purchased used. Is there anyone on here who has done this already, what kind of issues did you run into? I see there are a couple of companies out there that sell carbs like...

I'd like to get a bolt stretch gauge for torquing the rod bolts on my engine build. Since the side skirts come down so far on big blocks and hemis i'm worried there won't be enough room to fit the tool down in the crankcase. What brand and/or part number have you guys used that fits? Woops...

Has anyone had any luck with this? In Indiana it looks like a person can do a "court ordered title". It's probably a pain in the butt. What have you guys had success with? (if any) Talking about junkers, parts cars, and such.

Picked up a set of factory rods and pistons for my hemi build. I was going to replace the rod bolts with arp, but they look like new. There is a "CP" forged into the heads. Are these from CP Carrillo? The beams have been polished, but whoever did it went across the beam rather than along...
