Got new wheels

Absolutely

Just a thought but on motors with really aggressive flanks I would put the lifters in the 3 jaw Chuck on the lathe. I would use a very sharp tip and scribe a .005 deep line from the oil supply band down the side of the lifter to the face, don’t know if it helped but those big 430 horse 427 cams...

I was a freshman in high school. Hiding under my desk during the Atomic Bomb drills, even then we knew that desk wasn’t going to save us. But it gave me a wonderful view of the cute young ladies backside for a few minutes.

My 440 is a mild build fòr street. Speed Pro 6 pack pistons .017 down the hole, Stealth CNC Heads, RPM Air gap with 750 Holley. Cam is a 292 Isky mega. 292 adv, 242@050 500 lift 108 Lsa,4 deg advance. 2800 stall 3.73 rear with a locker. 3000 miles so far great torque right off the stop light...

In the late 80s/early 90s I worked for a large volume engine rebuilder in LA. We averaged 80 engines a day. Most were shipped to Pep Boys. I worked in warranty and did all the trackings of failure trends. I would say about 92 we started seeing a more than under 1% lifter failures. So I had to...

Any of those could have been disastrous on the big end. Yeah I think you owe your guardian angel a night on the town.

Got some new wheels and gages

If I remember right I paid 1300 delivered for a yukon 489 case with 3.73 gear, a Detroit locker and billet 1350 yoke. Not dragging it yet. But it’s quiet except for some chirping around our local cruise night haunts

Hi guys The 440 block and crank in my car came out of a 76 motor home. It’s a cast external balance but the flex plate is the one cut so no weight is needed. Or so they say. Anyway mines balanced zero rear. I think I’m going to need a new converter soon. The car won’t brake torque above 2500...

Here it is almost October and I still haven’t made a single pass. Small issues became big deal. Brakes are fixed. Drive shaft rebalanced, new wheels to replace a bent one. Added an O2 sensor ad put gages in radio speaker hole. High volume water pump, took 4 flushes to remove all the rusty...

I think stock appearing would be fun. But to be near the top, very expensive. I’ve already changed mine too much to go back. It would be out of my price range.

Thanks. I’m gonna see if someone in my club needs one. If not I’ll put it on here.

This rear bumper looks much more massive than other 63 Polara’s. I want to get a correct one. Any ideas on what it’s off? Thanks Bob I’m

lol most of us would be overjoyed to be as good as you when your at your worst.

My car is in the shop this week to find and fix the cause of the vibration.

I also did a new 489 case with 3.73 gears and a Detroit Locker and billet 1350 yoke. Spins freely had a shop take my old drive shaft and install a 1350 yoke on my nice no vibration shaft. Now it vibrates above 50 worse as speed increases. Appears to spin straight. Will pull out the dial...

I have the Caltrac mono-leaf. 9 way shock in the rear set on #5. 318 torsion bars. 9/10’s. Mild 440 3000 stall. 3.73’s with Detroit Locker. 3400 empty. 275/60/15 Cooper Cobra’s. As long as I don’t open the secondaries in the first 10 or 15 feet it hooks pretty well. If it starts to spin it will...

I remember ol’ Sneaky Pete Jackson running Top Fuel with a little 327 Chevy 2 bolt and doing pretty well. Yup he did girdle it but still. If I remember right he was guestimating 900 hp. There all fun. But it is a rush to beat more genetically blessed motor with your own hard worked hot rod.

Yep small lip. Lots of bad info on line. Found my bill from the shaft shop. The new tube yoke he used was a spicer 2-28-557. That’s an external lock 1310 part. What threw me was that they said the joint was a spicer 5-789x. That’s a straight 1310/1310. I have an offset 1310/1350 joint. Hey...
