Pics please. Also interested in the bore diameters, as well as main bearing diameters of the 426 block.

Makes sense, and would be just my luck. I think I'm going to cut the adjuster off and put it on my existing snubber of course after I remove the current rubber bumper

I could try and elongate the holes its as if after I put one bolt in the other hole is over half off the hole on the pinion snout. After reading about how the other member bent his, kinda leery on opening the holes up and the snubber moving around on me.

I went to bolt mine on , and low and behold the bolt spacing on my 8.75 is too wide for the adjustable snubber. Its a 742 case so I am not sure whats going on. Anyone else have this problem?

I have the exact same snubber and I'm going to install it. When you say 1" do you mean unscrew it so there are 1" of thread exposed? or when car is level, unscrew it so there is 1" of clearance from floor board?

These manifolds are notorious for being porous so yes the paint helps to seal them up. Ive even gone as far as to paint the underside with glyptal paint to seal it. I've made block offs for intake and carb mounts and pressurized a couple of oem max wedge intakes and 2 of the 3 leaked with only...

Not a problem, happy to help. People here have helped me on numerous occasions, just trying to help someone else out.

Budniks, the company you are probably thinking of is VFN out of Addison Ill. Glasstek broke away from them eons ago. I just bought a hood scoop from Glasstek not too long ago. Initially it looked ok, but I went to fit it whomever made it couldnt cut a straight line and several of the mounting...

With the engine up to temp and idling loosen the metering rod covers a and twist them so you can see whether or not the piston/rod is in the down position. If they are bouncing around you'll need lighter springs hence my earlier comment about spring kits x 2. At idle they should be down but as...

You might want to check out Dove rockers, I believe thats who makes them for Hughes, might be able to save some $$$

Another thing to check for on the 518 heads is valve seat recession, hence the larger cc measurement. I had a set of heads and my measurements were 86 to 90cc. Looked at the valves and noticed a few were receded into the head. Another thing to look at are the valves oem mw or were they replaced...

Ive used the fel pro 1105 gaskets. My MW motor made 537 hp and 570 ft lbs, compression is right at 10.1 , dynamic compression is 7.84. I wouldve liked to use the 1009 gaskets, but my oem 518 heads I had a couple of spots where the fire ring was too close for my liking. Granted i lost some quench...

Not sure, the Dove rockers might be from the old design. But where I was going is that if someone had good shafts and holddowns, these rockers should be more than sufficient for 95% of the builds out there, and Dove is made in the U.S. http://dovemanufacturing.com/about%20us/about.html

You might want to google Dove rocker arms. I believe they make them for Hughes http://dovemanufacturing.com/chrysler_big_block.html Might save you some cash

My bad I just noticed you are running the QF carbs, I have never monkeyed with those so, Im kind of curious as to what your power going to look like, and to see how your plugs are going to look like with a modern carb. Where are you going to dyno the motor at?

When I dynod my max wedge motor, which is no where near your size displacement wise, nor are my cylinder heads of your caliber (mine are stock 518 m.w.) I noticed that cylinder(2 and 7) sparkplug looked funny. Now they werent lean looking, nor were they overly rich looking, hard to describe...
