Hey guys, I mocked up my Lakewood bellhousing to check for runout and here's what I got. The top is +.012 and the very bottom (hard to see) is -.002 I removed and remounted the dial caliper and checked it a second time and got almost exactly the same thing. From this I should be getting a...

Hey all, I'm looking to upgrade my 8 3/4 for something stronger. I'm afraid I'm going to destroy my 8 3/4 while dumping the clutch on the dragstrip. I know Strange has a great S60 setup but I like the option of having the removable gear sets. Speedway Motors has a Fabricated Ford 9" setup...

Hi All, So I took The Beast down the 1/4 this past weekend at Island Dragway in NJ. I had a ton of fun. During tech inspection the inspector asked if I had an SFI bellhousing. I do not. (I have a 4 speed and twin disc setup) I thought it wasn't required unless you ran faster than an 11.5 as...

Hi all, I’ve been racking my brain and trying everything I can think of but my 505 build pings pretty good under load. The motor only has 1500 or so miles on it but the issue seems to be getting worse as it gets driven more. Here’s the list of things I’ve tried: - I have a Wide Band O2 gauge...

Hey all, After doing a leak down test on my 512 and having poor results on a few cylinders I decided to take the heads off to see what's what. I found some odd deposits on the combustion chamber. They're not gouges or pits and wipe off but what caused it? I tested a few of the valves and...

Hi Guys, I have a Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam in my 512. I built it 3 years ago but have yet to get it into my Charger (ended up doing a full resto). I have it on a run in stand and fire it up every couple months. After the last run I decided to check the valve lash so I let it cool down...

Hi all, I'm getting ready to put my new 512 in the car but I'm stuck on which transmission to use. the car is originally an automatic but I really want to get a manual in so I'll need a conversion kit. The 2 kits I'm looking at are Brewers kit with an 883 or Silver Sports kit with a TKO 500...

Hi all, I've been lurking around this site for years but never posted much. I recently started my 505 build with a 78 RB block. I had it bored .030 over, decked, line honed and final honing with torque plates. That came out perfect. The stroker rotating assembly I got from Eagle. That went...
