Yes 590 hours.

Actually that's 5600 rpm. FABO shrinks the pictures when I post them, so hard to read. Also read the note that says, "Doesn't like to run out of gas" They tested this "8bbl Program" on 288, 305, 340 and 360 motors also. I assume these were all tunnel rams.

Here's some vintage Tunnel Ram tests from 1979 at Bob Torozzi's ... Two different Holley Pro Dominator intake's and one modified Edelbrock "short"? intake. SVI is Ted Sphear.

??? You mean offset bushings installed reversed?

Should be same labor to build one as 340/360/318. As long as you have stroker kit with I-beam rods that doesn't require notching block. If you are a under 500 horsepower street motor you don't need H-beam rods. Stock 340 stroke is 3.31"... 4" stroker is 4.00". That's a difference of .69"...

Also look for a bent Lower Control Arm. One on left is bent. It's bent in the middle of the forged insert between the rivets that sandwich it to the rest of the LCA. Common place for them the bend.

Check the strut rod bushings on each side. Are they the same type? There are various rubber replacement ones. If someone replaced one side it may not have matched the other. Also there are two lengths of strut rods. One for 67-72 K-members and another for 73-76. Maybe they are mixed? I put a...

That looks like a table of contents with the Title to each standard. I don't know what the details of each standard are. But these cars did not come with: functioning speedometer and odometer front window defroster drivers side mirror front fender side marker lamps/reflectors Not sure if...

This is what I drove from Ames, Iowa to Los Angeles when I graduated in 1997 That U-Haul equipment is built like a brick$&#*house The stuff pictured on the ground is just the contents of the Car Top Carrier.

On facebook, 69Chrgr said he packaged them in a different box that was much larger and he took out a lot of insurance on it. That was the delivery shipment and it cost him $291. 69Chrgr said he was billed by partsmonsta for the shipping and handling back to him, but I didn't see what that...

FYI. The original poster posted this video to Facebook. Just passing this along, I have not even watched it

With the post 1971 Smog Regulations, you'd have a good flowing head with small smog cam. Sorta like a mid 70's Ford Cleveland.

Yes, I realize it's not a production W-2 head. I wonder if it's a early W-2 with leftover crossover or something closer to the LRE development (pre '78-79) with an added crossover. There were all kinds of SB development castings floating around. Square port W-2, "Petty" castings, W-3, W-2-1/2...
