Since a longer version allows for a shorter DS, which inherently permits a higher limit on DS speed, which is the point of an OD in many cases, I would think that is a major factor in the decision. But that solution is offset in that in most cases the DS needs to be replaced or shortened, and...

Bump.

The normal electroplating process does require the item to be dipped in a solution for electroplating, not really an issue to contest IMO.

I wish I could confirm or refute definitively here, but I don't know enough on the topic, except copper is poor material to upsize an item that is undersized and that is heavily loaded, repeatedly, like a con rod. Krooser appears to be on target IMO. Interesting observation, nevertheless.

One would think with the millions of braceless SB driven with anger over decades for millions of miles one would think a crucial missing brace would be the culprit in all order of engine mishaps, and after 20+ years online, I can't remember reading about even a single one. :popcorn:

IMO it was not an intentional insult, it was a coarse example most adults can visualize rather well I suspect. The question I do see, is what makes someone so sensitive to the comment that they regard it as an insult? I have a suspicion why, but I'll wait for answer first, before sharing, if...

"No Dyno Dan" in Waldo built my first Motor which I liked. Then he died. Dan Costello "DRAM" in Lake Worth built my second motor which I liked and was building my third and then he died. Super respected Mopar head guru Ryan in PA had my Chapman W8 heads to be freshened, but he had personal...

Reality however does not match your above supposition. First, what protection does factory sealed ultimately mean, and temperature controlled, and what constitutes excessive ambient temperature and humidity changes? Because in use, the oils are required to survive 70 to 270F temperature spikes...

Steel or plastic? I can't assume on "cans". I remember back in the day cans made of cardboard.:eek:

You understand, the Hemi DOHC was because Ford was trying to up the already on track winning Hemi. and Mopar felt it would take the wind out of Ford's sails if Mopar looked to be going down the same route with this mockup stunt, and to repeat myself, it worked, and Mopar was really just...

Anybody knowledgeable care to fact check this article? It is above my pay grade. //www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/what-s-the-difference-between-tremec-s-t-56-and-magnum-transmissions/ar-BB1iFiCU?ocid=msedgntp&pc=ACTS&cvid=f949a7ba48924deabf0a44a40a2e55a8&ei=279

It was I read more to get NASCar to call uncle, as proof that the hp wars were getting out of hand which Ford escalated with their new Cammer motor. and it worked.

1. If you leave it as is, nothing may happen negatively, or it will fail and you will have to redo it at the cost of a new seal 2. Or you could redo it and maybe save the cost of a new seal. I say leave it as is.

The question the OP presented is very telling in itself, IMO.

Three things stand out here IMO, drags, 1KHP, and heavy car. You will have you hands full on the track no matter what you do before your wad it up, an IRS does not work well at the drags and worse so with your combination (Hp/weight/use) and an IRS will not give you much bang for the buck on...

Not to pollute the thread, but while we are conversing about rare Mag stuff from back in the day, I've got a Mag Dana 60 Center housing, which I have yet to see anywhere, but I know they are out there. It's headed for a 3 link set-up in my 62 Polara 500 and boy, is it light.

Well every port has a flow limit, no matter what the opening, but a motor effectively run wide open at a nearly constant speed (Daytona?) they can handle awful lot of duration, and by limiting lift the rpms can also be raised to a degree I suppose.

That bathtub IMO is begging for an internal hidden EFI port injector set-up to calm it down on the street and promote head scratching. :lol:

I thought the Mag manifold was a rare high end "bathtub" design? And horrible for a street application, if it doesn't self destruct from a fuel puddled driven backfire and burn the car down.:eek:

Let's do the math back of the napkin ballpark style. Say we have 400 wheel horsepower, estimate 20% total drivetrain loss, in direct in trans, maybe 2%, tires 8%, 10% Rear end, so a 48 Hp loss (assuming 480hp at the FW). 48x754 (watts per HP)= 36,192 Watts from a 100% efficient mechanical...
