    Shorty plugs to clear headers

    Edit: Of course there is shorty .750" reach available, like Accel etc. but they all seem to be 'resistor' type plugs im looking for non resistor plugs, like a BP5EY or BP6EY in NGK.... but with a short ceramic end on the wire side. NGK has some good V-groove 'NON resistor' in short style but...

    Shorty plugs to clear headers

    Back when I ran cast heads, straight plug, I would use shorty plugs and an extra 3/8 header flange on the ports sandwiched between the headers, and it would sit the 90deg plug leads well inside away from the header tubes, without needing to dent the crap out of the center header pipes. I have...

    77 Cordoba with 400 engine are 906 heads an Improvement over OEM?

    Honestly ringing the hell out of a 383 and waiting for rods to go flying and sort of being in disbelief they still haven't, is even more fun in a way, than burning the tires on a roll in 3rd gear in a 440. both sort of net the same end result in a race from a stop start depending on mods and car...

    Porting the oil passage from pickup tube to pump in B/RB block

    I didn't think of taking pics, the engine is already in the car running. I basically used an air hand held die grinder with a long metal grinding bit (sharp ended point) and got in both sides of the oil passage and ported a big radius on the 90 degree bend (facing the rear of the block). I...

    440 engine build

    With any 440, even low compression, bigger is always better. 2" headers, 850 carb, single plane intake, mopar 557 or 590 solid, max ported heads.. your grandma could drive it, and it'll run 10's even with 8.5:1 CR pump gas. One thing which isn't better bigger on a 440 is the stall speed of the...

    Anyone have or used one of the TCI 727?

    Have read more than enough people having bad to shocking experiences with TCI built mopar transmissions, to never run one. Some of their converters seem to work ok, same can't be said for their 727 streetfighter trans. If I wanted to gamble for fun, one of their built transmissions with a...

    Porting the oil passage from pickup tube to pump in B/RB block

    I did this for the first time, as i read recommended by someone who's built many mopar bb's including 1000+ B1 motors, he was convinced that upgrading to 1/2 pickup is a waste of time unless the block oil feed is ported, because the the hole in the block to the pump is a lot more restrictive...
