    440 heads do not accept Autolite 85's

    Autolite 85's will not fit in my 440 heads. The block has the casting 1975 on it. Not too familiar with the variety's of heads. The shank on the 85's and Champion 14's are too big. There is a small notch on the heads that keep the plugs from getting threaded. Also, the valve cover says...

    pilot bushing hanging up

    I would just like to get some of your input on this. The transmissin is in and has about an inch left to go, but no matter what I try, I cannot get it in any farther. I'm putting a a833 tranny to a 360 with a crankshaft that is NOT drilled for a manual. Originally, I had the 360 hook to a...

    Poly 318? What do you know?

    My '66 originally had the early A 318 in it. Are they any good? I built a 360 for it, shaved the heads and I have a good running engine in it now, but I'm curious about the old 318. It's killing me letting it sit on the garage floor. I've been told the way the heads are designed they get...
