I agree with you. As long as your pieces aren't bent and you can get tie rod sleeves to be at equal angles (pitman arm and idler in same plane/level with each other) bump steer should be reduced.

Not drag racing per-say, but some good visual cause and effect. He is a dirt track racer normally, and some autocross.

Any Weld wheel. Centerline auto drags are always a go-to usually cheap. Always had a thing for convo-pros also.

Oil further away from crank is better, think dry sump engines, less windage to rob power and keep oil in better shape. So if seven quarts equals 2 quarts low on stock dipstick it's a win, win. Ample oil supply for higher RPM and further from crank.

A 340 or warmed up 318, gears will make a good difference, you need to twist the rpm hard. A 440 with stockish heads, rpms are not your friend. 383/400 with the stock stroke and basically same head as 440 the rpm range will go up, again gears will not hurt. These short stroke combos are the...

If you went to 3.91 gear you will probably only gain 3 tenths that's a lot of highway aggravation for .3 of a second. 3.55 will put you halfway between aggravation and livable. Gears only help a slow, very underpowered, heavy car

I have '73 440. I changed some internal parts and cam so decided to check valve to piston clearance. Start with just clay, if it looks good and has way more than needed all good. Did number one cylinder, all looked good plenty of visual clearance slicing through the clay. For some reason I...

Nice work thank you, headers always win.

The reason the engine has more cranking is because the intake is closing earlier because it has faster ramps (roller cam advantage), trapping more intake charge in the cylinder (same as advancing a flat tappet cam)

Wow, hope you have aluminum heads and good quench. Will have lots more torque.

Hear I thought the track was being helpful. Makes sense after you point it out.

You can use the paper method on DOT tires. Start high pressure 28 maybe and on a really smooth surface (garage concrete floor is great) try to put paper under outside edge. Keep lowering pressure until the paper does not want to go under anymore (shoulder of the tread is on ground). That's...

Ummm pizza pan for air cleaner to scoop. Thanks I'm stealing that idea.:thumbsup:

They are giving you incentive/telling you you have room for improvement. Your short side needs some improvement. MPH is a direct indicator of horsepower. It is backwards calculating that, for your mph/horsepower you should be et ing at 7.22, chassis and drivetrain optimized. Opposite example...

If it is agreed value insurance it should not matter. Your agreeing on a value for the whole package not itemizing individual add ons. This is one of the reasons for agreed value, so they don't have to play the, "it has this kind of paint", " it has fuzzy dice and side pipes", "it has special...

Pistons in general have gone crazy expensive even for crap stock replacements.

Bodies were legal for I believe 3 years. 1975 would be okay with a '73,'74,'75

Mine cleared with pistons .090 down in the hole, no valve reliefs, stock rockers.

A friend of mine has a full multiport EFI on his Pontiac. When he pulls the exhaust and adds collector's he has to do some trickery to make it idle. I don't know what, I'm a carburetor guy.

Excellent Bob I'm watching.
