    Cam Dynamics Small Block Cam Question

    No experience with that particular cam - I haven't seen cams from Cam Dynamics for years. As the others have mentioned with a lobe separation angle of 106 I believe it would most likely not be a street driveable camshaft. You didn't mention what you want to do with the engine - racing engine...

    Help with pinion angle

    I think an important thing to remember in this discussion is the way you would set up a race car is different to a street car.

    Help with pinion angle

    Down or up is viewed with the known reference point of the car being the front to rear direction applicable to both the transmission and the rear axle. I probably have not explained this well but it is very important point to working out the correct driveline angles. Post #2 is spot on and shows...

    Rear Diff Noise

    If you have green bearings did you remove the axle spacer from the sure grip carrier? Something must be different if the head was OK in another car.

    Question About 440 Piston Choices

    I agree - go lighter and just rebalance. There are a few advantages to go to lighter pistons. For a street engine a cast piston is fine. The KB brand seem to work fine and are available in many oversize's.

    Diff issues 489/3:55

    Most gear sets will have a little noise at some speed or other. And I agree with earlier post the sets are not as good as they were - but at least you can still buy them. I believe it is down to were does it make noise - and can you live with it.

    Dougs headers with 2" tubes

    Street use typically go smaller tubes for best torque and you will only lose a small amount of HP up in the higher RPM. Size the header for were the engine will spend most of it's life.

    Bringing Compression Up in 426 Hemi

    The popping in the exhaust could be valve or ignition related also. Is the ignition timing retarded perhaps? Bit hard to guess from here. Yes changing the pistons is the simple answer - but getting that right is harder than it at first might seem.

    Worn clutch rod??

    Yes correct although there is a thin nylon wear washer also. Check the hardened pin for wear as well if it has operated for years without grease it may be worn.

    Worn clutch rod??

    That rod looks like the rod from the clutch pedal to the torque shaft. The one from the torque shaft to the release fork is threaded so you can adjust clutch free play. The factory service manual shows all the parts and were they go. Mega Parts has all the bits. They have a nylon wear washer...

    Main studs vs cap screws.....

    I read somewhere that a stud will give better "clamp" of a component. I do use them because on certain engines you can strip the block threads winding in a head bolt to get the torque reading. The studs are easier in the threads as the bolt is winding and tightening at the same time.
