Thoughts & prayers to You & Yours, whatever You're dealin' with, hang in there Brother...

That's why I drive rats for daily & anything like that, can't have anything nice for long....

That was a while ago for sure..................

Yep, that's Them..................

That paint looks freakin' awesome, as does the whole car, love that body!!

Little Furball made it to the top of the open hood,.....then slid all the way back down to the cowl, popped up & pranced around the A-pillar then along the door. My Mom's allergic to anything that grows or sheds just about, so after a few days I got the Neighbors to take Him, They named Him...

My Cousin & I left His place in Vegas & drove out there, They were closed!!! No idea why, but We were very disappointed..

One eve early '87, a friend & I went to a record & musicians store in Donaldson's Crossroads, then ran up to Heads Together for a bit of shopping. He left His Datsun, & We were rollin' in the Thunderbooger, for 'extra' entertainment. Once Home, He got in His ride & We were talkin' about the band...

What intake are You running??

I think a +.020" 383 w/a 3.5" has a 1.88 rod/stroke w/stk. rod length. Still a bunch of slug, even with some decking....

How far are You pushing the pin to the oil ring?

I wouldn't say He's comfortable, but..........

We're not talkin' mound roundin' here, by all appearances, that shoulder/berm looked fairly level...."not knowing what's up-road"....is what it means....there very well may have been good reasons He wasn't on the shoulder, or just had a foolish trust that a totally inattentive douche wouldn't...

Well, this IS Seattle East, ............

It may be a '74 model, the only change to the car was They swapped out the 8.25" for a 8.75" rear, & ran 3.23's. I have the rear out of that car, & haven't even looked at what ratio was in it, lol!! Stk was 2.9X's iirc. I checked w/them & it ran 14.40's w/3.55's sooo....

That's not gonna be so easy, many modern cars are putting out enough hp/ci, that Your 'teener'd have 457hp. That's NA, they're runnin' 13:1 on pump regular, sooo I'd set the dial on 'FUN' & roll...the plus for You is most new cars are heavy by comparison.

I would bet the 383 was saddled w/a 625cfm AVS, the TQ&Intake on the SB was far superior, betting with cam regs & starving for air the 383 didn't have a chance.

For sure, I know somebody that has run a bone stock '73 360 Duster many many times, best times in good air 14.80-14.90's.

I kinda figured, but I've always had the right parts for the engine & same for the kits, so the rear seal is only change to them. Hoping I don't have to shop a new cover soon apparently.....

Anyone smarter than a box of rocks can make pattern off of a good or 'repaired' cover & cast an exact replica, that means they changed it on purpose, or they laser scanned it to make the pattern & something was off in the transfer.

Yeah, I knew a few who did that, I got My IM license '85....always did My own. Funny one, before I put the PurpleShaft 284°/.484" in the '66 383, it sniffed clean for an '83 318 Diplomat.....passed with flying colors w/a 3310 750 on it, lololol...

Lucky You, You don't live in the 5-county Philly area, with the dyno/sniffing....

'68, why would they have made bigger mains, or 4-bolt mains for that matter?

I guess I'll ask the obvious, sure You didn't get a 360 cover by mistake???

That right there is gospel's truth..........

To answer that question, it's done by the mfrs., Chevy C010 blocks are large main 4" bore blocks. For everything from the 302" Z engine to HD blocks in trucks, so yeah, they do.......

I was curious to see the position & progression of the spalling pattern on a 'mirror offset' lobe. That's not a ton of lube, I'd run that past the grinder for input, best of luck & keep Us posted...

Also, even tho' Your pic presents the lift side of #8 intake, I can see #7 looks bad as well. Could You post a pic of the lift side of #7 for Us?

Lack of lube?? What is the oil hole size in the lifter bore bushings?

:lol: Proving that after kicking the crack habit, He really didn't need it to be wound up after all, God Bless Him!!! :usflag:
