    Is this normal, or am I really that sick?

    Yep. Had .040 poured babbit rods. Had a guy turn the crank in the vehicle.

    Is this normal, or am I really that sick?

    Most under powered vehicle I ever owned (forgot about it). 1952 Chevy 2 1/2 ton farm truck. Removed the hay bed, and put ramps on the back to carry my race car. Also towed my other race car behind (both 65 Valiants). Don't know the total weight. It would do about 50-60 mph downhill with a tail...

    198 slant 6 value?

    Yep, spring 2012 at Mason-Dixon dragway, Hagerstown Md. Biggest head start I ever had to give anyone. 7 sec. That video is still up on you-tube.

    198 slant 6 value?

    Actually, not so much. Depends on how much your machine shop charges for a rod recondition with ARP bolts. If the base cost of the rods, plus the shop cost is within $100 of the K-1 or Molner rods, go for the good rods with no miles on them.

    904 torque converter stall speed

    That is incorrect. I recently spoke to Andre, and he told me, that he still owns Edge racing converters. Precision just poched the name. PS: They can no longer build the "hybrid" 904 converters. These are the converters that have the small crank pilot (1967 down engine), and the large splines...

    [Found!] Need Front Split Bench Seat '64 Valiant 2 Door

    I don't have any 2 dr seats. What I do have that "might" interest you is a set of seats from a Sebring convertable (I need to check the year). Many people have installed these in early "A" bodies. They are bucket seats, and have the seat belt and sholder harness as part of the seat. I also have...

    Interest in another Group Buy: Molnar 7" Connecting rods for CAST crank

    Better check to see if those pistons can be used with floating piston pins. The Molner rods use floating pins, so the pistons must have pin retainer lock grooves. The stock 2.2 pistons for non turbo (flat top) are press fit pins. The stock 2.2 turbo pistons (dished) are floating pins.

    Alter cam timing

    I don't know if the JP Rollmaster still has a problem with the crank gear. They fit really tight (some need to be honed). Also you need to check it the center line of the cam sprocket and centerline of the crank sprocket are lined up. Sever people I know had to machine meterial off the rear cof...
