Hood & driver side door?

I think they used to use the term "squish" in the old days, and there really wasn't that big of a deal about it like there is now. Also, I think it was a common belief that open chamber heads breathed better.

They were intended for stick shift drag cars that launched at high rpm. They could possibly work on a modern drag car using a 2 step, trans brake, and very high stall converter, but in my opinion they suck. I let my buddy trade his pair of 1850's that I set up for his 427 Chevy for a pair of...

I know that this is an old thread, but I'd like to give my advice/opinion on subject for anyone who looks at this for advice. Do not use 660 center squirters on any kind of street car. There is no power valve circuit. If you're familiar with how a drag race car with blocked powervalves drives...

Factory radio? Sorry. Don't know.

Aftermarket radio? Somebody wired it to wrong power source. Needs to be wired to "accessories" power source. If you can't find proper power source, you can tap it into accessories source on fuse box. Use a fuse.

Was there in early '90's right after Hurricane Andrew hit Fla. Went to Fla to help out my girlfriend's sister and brother in law. Big Dad's museum was the coolest place I had ever seen, and it's supposed to be much better now. My girlfriend wasn't really much interested in cars, but she let...

You really are a Mopar Maniac, ain't ya!

Nice work, buddy.

The days, eh, fratzog? Bought my first Mopar, a very nice '64 Polara 500 383 4 spd with a cracked block for $250. That was my second car- my first was a '64 GTO 389 4spd. Tore it up! The Dodge took everything I dished out. After that, Mopar or no car! The Mopars weren't the "in" cars where I...

Looks like you've been busy. Are you the 13 yr old Mopar maniac? My 17 yr old grandson isn't interested in anything but video games. Nice work. How long did you go to school with Por 15 all over you? haha

In my early years of being a gearhead (early 70's), professional custom built engines were much less common. 440's were easy to get. If you knew someone scrapping a rusty, banged up, 440 Chrysler, they would probably give it to you just to get rid of it. Pull the motor, swap your goodies from...

I see your point w/'67 piston farther in hole, but for some reason the '67's had better low rpm power. They pulled like crazy right off idle w/low stall converter

67 was best 440

If you got it driving decent, you're still going to have to open up pvcr in primary metering block to get wot afr in the ballpark. Add 2-3 jet sizes to secondary before doing that. Also, you shouldn't need that green pump cam (your main complaint in the beginning was poor fuel mileage, right?)...
