you know why nobody takes you seriously and you get clowned on all the time? this. this is why dan. >"this motor was built to spin 8K" >"ebay parts" >suspiciously cheap machine work costs >"i believe" >three angle valve job w/ a back cut (c'mon you're just regurgitating info here) >truck...

or if you're like me, the first 2K goes into buying a block, and then a crank and rods, then realizing that one or all of that is crap so then you buy better stuff, and you're half way to 6700 before you hit the machine shop and the heads you bought off johnny race gas needs exhaust seats and...

i'm calling shenanigans on that 650hp 406 for 6.7. you'd need nearly half that in heads alone to put down that kinda juice. yeah, maybe he got some deals but two things: one, how long are those questionable parts gonna hang out-- especially if he cheaped out somewhere on something; and B- the...

smart play. hope the rest of the assembly goes swimmingly!

is it sloppy on the shaft or just the key? you could try another key. if it's all bobo then just suck it up and order a decent timing kit from summit and call it done. you might be able to make your case with the supplier and see if they're credit you some dough on the back end. if not, let...

well, yes. maybe they were utilizing their newfound vocab from the word a day that the love of their life got them? idk man, i just kinda work here. i have to wear 15 pieces of flair, it's the minimum.

"adjunct" maybe? as in joined or added? like press fit pins? or maybe "adjust" as in hone the little end of the rod for fit?

i like it. remember to go into it with realistic expectations. everybody wants to build street/strip cars or 400+ horse or whatever and throw hi stall converters around with tall *** gears-- which is fine if that's the kind of driving you want to do and the performance you're looking for...

i'd love to know what those cam grinds were. that torqe curve is impressive, only rolls 25 +/- across but that HP jump off the start where it bumps nearly 100 in 800rpm must be a real kick in the shorts. i can't tell if i'm reading it right, is that 590 hours on the motor?

i love how the pull starts at 5600...

if the motor is in good condition why not throw a cam at it and maybe do some heads or work a little love on the stock units? if you don't have a converter and gears, that would be another area to upgrade. and while i wouldn't say that stuff is cheap, it's an alternative to dropping massive...

machine shop pricing varies wildly depending on location and type of shop. i'm in los angeles and did a stroker last year. the machine shop only handled the machine work on the block, i brought it in disassembled. total ticket was $1855 here's the run down: hot tank & mag the block, bore &...

i think the eddy performer 2177 would be a great mild cam for a 318 with stock (low-ish) compression. a little less aggressive than a stock 340 cam. the thing i don't like is that it's a single pattern cam. however, for the money i think a melling 360 stock cam or a summit white box is a better...

3/4 race cam. tried and true. can't go wrong.

i know, i know. i was just makin' a funny. have a look at his other threads (i think there's three about this now) and you'll notice that *some* of the rockers have adjusters with lock nuts, and some have the interference adjusters. this sordid tale is far from coming to a close.

see post #52

we haven't even gotten to that chapter yet!! way to ruin the surprise!! thanks alot poindexter

look closer... (ideal solution for somebody wanting to up adjustables on a stock hydro set upand reuse their ball end pushrods)

here's the easy button if your call to PRW doesn't pan out: https://www.manciniracing.com/crshroarmads.html note, that's a crane part number... lookie here: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/crn-99802-16 so you may be able to snoop around a bit an unearth some on a dusty shelf or ebay or...

i would 10000000% replace that. and probably have a good look around for the missing chonk.

tensioner v. no tensioner will be a war still being fought long after you, i, and these cars are gone and continue to wage until the heat death of the universe. top quality true double roller no matter which shoe you put on which foot, though. preferably something that has keys for...

matey dan, are you about to regale us with tales of your voyages in caruthersville rolling deep in your 4dr 79 LTD II 5.0 2V? i can already hear the corduroy pants and envision the paisley spread collars...

that's the joke.gif

i don't think Dan's pimp hand is strong enough to cruise that bad boy around town.

likely so. from a photo in another thread it looks like they may have already upgraded some of them... but then again i'll not make brash assumptions. they could be crane or isky, or erson or even old melling replacements.

balls, balls, said the queen; if i had two i'd be a king! thems is 5/16 balls. 7/16-20 thread they make several different flavors: 3/8 balls with 7/16-20 thread, 5/16 cup with 3/8-24 thread, and they sell all the components as loosies too. both jegs and summit carry them.

they used an interference/tapered fit. if you need to replace a few, it's my personal opinion to replace the whole set with new adjusters that have lock nuts. it's more work, but i think it's a worth while upgrade. here's a link to a kit...

i thought the line was: you shouldn't marry somebody that puts ketchup on a hot dog, you never know what other bad life choices they make or something like that. i do know it's from sudden impact tho!

have a seat friend... my old lady eats catsup and tomatoes on a dog. i know, she's a monster-- i mean, obviously-- she's with me. but still.

a good man always does.
