I got everything back together and it sounds happy again. I'll be able to make the show without hurting the motor.
One thing I noticed when changing cup plugs in the shafts so I could clean the shafts out real good. One shaft had all 5 holes drilled the same ID. Basically that shaft had no...
I'm going to make a decision tomorrow on the rockers. I can make mine work for the show I need to make on Saturday as long as I can get push rods in time which shouldn't be a problem. I'm probably going to do what you did and change rockers.
I started with ported Eddy's and switched to these after the car hit the magazine. Probably in 2005. I made an extra 125 HP at the tire just switching from the Eddy's to these and a cam change.
Can't remember what brand push rods these are? There's no name on any of them. I built this motor 10 years ago. I either got them from Scott Brown or Ryan at Shady Dell so I'm sure they're good stuff. Scott did my cam and Ryan did my heads.
I have 3 adjustment balls that are bad as well as...
These rockers look suspicious. The quality is poor IMO. I bought these heads 10 years ago when they first came out. Can't remember but at that time I don't know if I had any other options other than these rockers? I see the wear on the push rods like it's contacting the head. The push rods...
I bought the 360-2 heads for my 416 about 10 years ago. I might have 1500 miles on the motor now. The car has pretty much sat since 2007. I get it out a few times a year. Anyway I fired it up yesterday and the valve train was unusually noisy. Solid lift cam but something was off so I shut...
I bought these for the Cuda a couple years ago. I just didn't like the way they looked on a 9" rim so I bought these same tires in a 28x12x15 which I still have on the car.
They would look great on an 8" or smaller rim. I run these tires on everything I own and love them. I'm just tired of...
I bought these tires new last year and they are just a hair too big for my set up on My Grand National. I put maybe 400 miles on them all highway. They are like new as you can tell from the pictures. Just tired of them taking up space.
I have these exact same tires on my 1968 Barracuda with...
Do you have a recommendation for a coilover on this set up? I want to go this route too and get rid of the torsion bars. I need the room.
Also if there was a one stop shop for everything needed to do this job with your supports where would that be?
Nice work BTW!
I know what you mean.
If I were going to let the car sit for an extended period of time I would back off the rockers but I keep the car here at my dealership and once in a while I need to move it for one reason or another.
I may try and track down Scott Brown and see if he remembers...
To be honest with you it was a long time ago and I can't remember what Ryan did exactly. I know he did a valve job etc but as far as full port and polish??
My concern really isn't with the lift while running but having the spring compressed when it's not running and the car may sit 3 months...
