    '68 Valiant - rear width question

    I'm just looking for the total distance from rear inner fender lip to inner fender lip on a '68 Valiant. I think if a person just removed the rear wheels, plumbed down from the inside of each inner top fender lip, and then measured in-between those vertical plumbs....that would be the overall...

    '68 Valiant - rear width question

    Has anyone ever measured the overall distance in-between the INNER fender wells on the REAR of an A-body mopar? In other words, the overall measurement that would include the width of the rear end and both wheels/tires...plus room to clear the inner fender tub? (I'm assuming, but may be wrong...

    My engine builder torn the engine back down after the dyno test. He said everything looked normal.

    I don't think a Torque Storm can produce anything over 5-6 lbs without pulley mods.

    440 w/TorqStorm SC - Boost Getting Into Crankcase?? Valley Pan BULGE

    As far as I know, the static compression was at 10:1 when the engine was on the dyno. The re-re-build is underway now to reduce that to 8.5:1. And yes, I chose the blow-thru setup because I didn't want to plumb an intercooler for this car. And yes this was intended for pump gas. As I stated in...

    Great advice....and I had already landed there before this post. The catch can with breather looks interesting. Maybe one for each bank? Kevko K9085 Remote Breather Tank, with 1-1/2 Inch Filter

    The head gaskets were fine. The ring seal was excellent. Leak down was 3%. Maybe a different style of breather would help? Open element breathers?

    Right....but what are you asking here? It was a dyno session with a freshly rebuilt motor.

    My mistake, we actually DID have two open breathers by the time we ran the engine...and it still bulged the valley pan and sprayed oil out of the breather.

    440 w/TorqStorm SC - Boost Getting Into Crankcase?? Valley Pan BULGE

    My engine builder says he's stumped how boost ended up pressurizing the crankcase at our dyno session. This is a freshly built built 440 (1974 RB Block). The first run went fine, generating ~600 horsepower at 5200rpm. On the second run, the engine fell on it's face at around 4000rpm. The dyno...
