That’s tough, kind of like guessing a girls bra size by the sound of her voice, I would say lowish compression, lumpety lump, not pop, pop, pop.

Both were 318 plain janers

Some cars run and some don’t, in my early years I had 2 1972 satellites, 4 door get to work beaters. 1 ran like a cut cat, good mileage, the other was a turd, less mileage also. Same cars, carbs rear gear and so on, was the cam off or what, I screwed with timing and such on the lazy one and...

So, does anyone or has anyone put a #1,2, or 4 main bearing in the back journal of a small block? Maybe 1/4” narrower, needed to grind a new bearing tang groove in the cap and block. Narrower bearing for less drag . This was right in the dc bible, right by the old flip the pistons backwards...

Didn’t word that very good, 56 degree ground water run through the intercooler gives me 75 degree air temp after the turbo and intercooler into the intake manifold, can’t remember exactly what the temp of the boosted air was before I turned the water on, I’m getting old. Factory would have had...

Here is a 93 dodge pu motor, 200,000 miles, factory ran a air to air intercooler, I put a newer ford diesel water to air intercooler on it, instead of 190 engine water, I tapped of the discharge pipe. 56 degree water gives me 75 degree’s after the turbo, direct drive via plate made for the...

I would think that would be close, highly desirable for swaps,one wire to the pump and it will run.

Motor’s worth $2500 around here, I buy 2 wheel drives nobody wants and put them on irrigation wells. Like everything they were worth more the last few years but prices are dropping. Good motors if they have had any maintenance.

Take a torch to it, that will tell you if it’s JB weld, braze,or something hard like nickel, won’t take long.

I also had one of the motors out of a cop car, 318; 360 heads and thermoquad, for the life of me can’t remember what color it was, it’s black now but that may be what I painted it.

.050” over on a 3.91 bore is 3.96

Thinking taller was better (8022), only had 1 2176 but never had a use for it at the time.

I always ran the 8022 because of the height, but the last few I got (5-7 years ago) the ports were terrible for consistency, makes me think I should have tried the 2176. All water under the bridge now,thanks much! Imca won’t let you grind anything, supposedly.

If may ask 92b how does the 2176 compare to the 8022 power wise? Thanks!

I guess their true colors were shown, think you’re doing everything right and still get in a pickle. You definitely got a reason to be pissed! Been in on afew inheritance deals that we had concerns about and it all turned out ok, but you never know. I would imagine your folks are rolling in...
