I have used them
and simply dont trust them
I bought an engine cradle that I can crank the balance and thus the angle of the engine as I need to
like this only Red
I love my Edelbrock RPM heads but I am running the old .509 purple shaft
I don't need the flow at .600
Note that they were not perfect out of the box
I had them checked by my machine shop and they had some tight guides & need some clean up in the bowls
He also changed the valve springs out to...
I am a big fan of My Edelbrock Torker II
it fit under my stock hood when my hood was stock
My engines have run very well with MP cams .484 & now the .509
I even preferred it to the old MP M1 intake
I used Doctor Diff and got a Strange Engineering driveshaft
I upgraded to the hemi u-joints
The cost was very reasonable and I was impressed with the speed in which it shipped and arrived
The trick flows are widely known to be the best
but they are expensive
Pick the heads to match the Cam you are using
if you arent using a 600 lift cam then you wont use the added flow of the trick flows
the Eddys will handle a 500 lift cam just fine
since you are already pulling the clutch and flywheel just pull the engine.
clean it all up
inspect everything
new gaskets
then re-install
it'll be so much more easy and more thorough
I had my 8.75 rebuilt
I chickened out and paid someone for a rebuild with Warranty
I wanted the same gear set as the 3.91 I originally had
there was no 3.91 gear set for a 741 case
I had to go with the 489 case
the 3.90 gear he used was Yukon
my re-builder preferred them
My guess is yes
even if you are able to close your hood
you will have to use a low profile air cleaner with drop base
Those air filters are a proven restriction to flow
Count on putting an air scoop on your 65
I did it in steps and each stepped made my AFR leaner
not greatly but noticeable and...
I had the same question
I run the .509 cam in my 440
with 75cc Edlebrock heads for 10.7:1 compression
pistons .020 in the hole .027 Cometic gaskets (.047 Quench) installed on 108 center line
I use 93 octane pump gas
never had an issue with knocking
I have even run 38 degree total timing
you...
I run the hemi pan on my 440
(re-pop from Mancini)
6 quarts including the filter
initially the oil read a little low on the dipstick (after market chrome job)
so I trimmed the dipstick tube off until the fill mark lined up with the oil mark
I went rubber as well
The Mopar bushings have a lot less rubber in them than most and don't deflect much. you will get a softer ride over bumps with the rubber
The PST pivots and bushings fit very well
Check your strut bars
both of mine were bent and I understand this was common
I also...
Just so you know
I am running the 75 cc eddys with a 0.027 cometec gasket (.047 quench)
My pistons are .020 in the hole
My compression ratio is 10.7:1
I have the old Purple Shaft .509 cam 292 duration
I run 93 oct gas
I have no problem running the heads on the street
No issues with detonation...
I am shocked that only one other person mentioned this
You have to fix the back firing before you do anything
The backfiring could very well be a symptom of why you think your engine wont run
it could be too lean or too rich
it could have jumped time
The distributor could be off
you can't...
I have a modified 440 with a lot more torque and HP then your 318
I doubt yours will be a problem however piece of mind is worth $100
slip joint yokes are about $100 at Doctor Diff
In the past I would have thought nothing of that
I would have used it
but now that I have been burned I would...
Not a lot of power as I was on the dyno preparing for my first run and let go at about 3500 RPM
I suspect the the U-joint was bad even though it was new (less than 500 miles on it)
Both yokes was broke and had to be replaced
The differential was noisy before but much worse after the accident,
I...
Consider a solid u-joint
When I twisted the driveshaft out of my Charger
The u-joint clearly fractured along the grease line
This cost me a lot of money in parts
(new driveshaft, new yokes, new differential, new exhaust, new electric cut-outs)
I ultimately upgraded to solid 1350 Joints
I know a lot of people use them
but I dont trust them
Thats a lot of weight relying on carb studs
years ago I bought one of the slings that lets me crank the engine angle
so I use 4 of the intake bolts to the heads
