On my 66 Wagon I did an x-pipe right under the slip yolk. Its all 2.25" and running Jones brand magnaflow rip offs. Less noise than my catless neon at idle but makes plenty of noise at WOT. Good gains down low for me coming from manifolds and 3" single.

NWDRA swap meet at the clark county fairgrounds on the 30th

If I recall there were only 11 v8/4-speed 66 valiants from the factory...check my numbers though

Similar results here. A tractionless 14.6@97 in my 66 'S' car but with the stock valves

Have a Marine 273/318 intake that is virtually identical to a 273HP intake with the exception of a thick cast wall in the water passage between the thermostat and heater line holes. Looking for something to use in place of this. Listing below is #1 choice on. #1 66-67 273HP manifold #2...

What did you have these on? 67-up?

yup, that helps, the last time I cought engine paint all they had PERIOD was PlastiKote...that wrinkles as soon as anything solvent-y (gas) gets on it...therefore I didn't even check there Local store has it and I'm en-route now. Thanks for picking up where I slacked guys. :violent1:

Trying to source Industrial Red in VHT brand or at least something close. Anyone know where to get it? I'm having no luck.

This was the top of the line Cloyes ($120) 10-years ago Im assuming something with the cam to crank centerline, I put it on the 273 and the slack became less... It didnt go away but its significantly less. The brand new parts store stocker I had is on the 318 and it still has a decent...

What size hole should that be?

of all the motors Ive been in, Ive never seen that. Factory thing?

It still ran fine, made enough power to do 40mph stab-n-steer sessions, had good idle. A rear main leak and a fuel issue (partly sheared off woodruff for the fuel pump eccentric as it turns out) is the reason for swapping motors.

Honestly, 3-4* at the very most.

Pirating the double roller set off my 318 for my 273 build and got down to it and found what seems to be quite a bit of slop. Maybe Im wrong, but the thing only has 5-6,000 miles on it. Safe to use?

I cut up a generic pair of 67-up headers and a drivers 5.2/5.9 ram/dak header and worked them into an early-a. Im not a big fan of headers anymore. I tucked them up AS CLOSE as I could and they still scrape, I cant ever get them to seal for any length of time and they wrap around both torsion...
