Ok engine builders - Can you help me understand how this happened so I can keep it from happening again? I hadn't run the car in about a month and a half. I started it up in the driveway, warmed up for a minute and drove about a mile to the freeway on ramp. I got on the freeway and everything...

Gents, I am continuing to struggle with an engine which is slightly out of linear alignment with the car. It is rotated to the left, or counterclockwise from the top, in the engine bay such that the tailshaft housing of the transmission is toward the right side of the trans tunnel. I am...

Gents, I have oil leaking from an intake manifold bolt on the driver's side of my 440. It is one of the middle bolts, basically under the throttle cable connection to the carb. I know it's hard to see in the pictures but the oil pools in the "valley" of the intake manifold next to the bolt...

Guys I just can't get enough air into my motor. It's a 493 stroker with stock Eddy RPM heads and a Quickfuel 850 carb. I bought a simple dropped base 14 inch by 3" high air cleaner to try, and the car is noticably slower than running with the huge 16" by 4" cleaner that i stuck on temporarily...

Hey Gents, Take a look at the attached photos of a 440 block which I'm using for a Mancini-kit 493 Stroker build (the engine which we've been talking about in my "Roadracing Engine" thread). Top two photos show driver's side of the block. Bottom two show passenger's side. Specifically...

Yup. That was me at Spring Fling in SoCal negotiating with Dr. Diff for the new 489 case Eaton True-Trac 3.55 rear end for my '70 Roadrunner. I couldn't help myself, since that was one of the items on my list for the car, which had a 3.23 open rear end - which ain't great for handling or...

OK so a buddy of mine ran the Silver State Classic (in a 65 Mustang) and I can't get it out of my head! My 70RR resto has been going along great and the car runs well on the stock 383 (only 50k miles) and the 3.23 rear end. I've got it all set up with Firm Feel suspension parts because I'm a...

Hey All, This may seem like an easy one, but I just replaced my speedometer cable and now it seems to have a leak at the transmission. A small drip of fluid forms on the low point of the cable about 6 inches from where it enters the trans. It is the screw on type for a 1970 727 trans...

Hey Guys, I have an easy one for ya. Where is the timing mark on the engine on a stock 1970 383 (Roadrunner)? I know I need to look for the mark on the harmonic balancer, but where is the other "marker" that I line that up against? Anyone have a picture? Thanks...

Ok guys. Show me your skills! 1970 Roadrunner, 383, Rallye Dash. My fuel gauge works. My oil pressure gauge works. My Temperature Gauge doesn't. I have replaced the sender twice but it makes no difference. With the ignition on, If I ground the temperature gauge sender wire (at the...

Guys, I have searched high and low for an idler pulley and bracket that will allow me to remove the A/C Compressor on my 1970 383 (Roadrunner) without changing every belt and pulley on the whole motor. On an A/C car the alternator shares a belt (two actually) with the A/C compressor. If...
