Thank you HemiDenny. Can you confirm what you mean by "differential angled DOWN". Does that mean the pinion center line is higher at the front or back? I think that's something that confused me on other posts I read. Is it accurate to say that in your example, it's a continuous down hill...
I'm not belittling the wealth of information available from the experienced mechanics on this site related to pinion angle, but I found it to be a little overwhelming. Admittedly, I was confused by some of it and I set up my pinion angle on an 8-3/4 swap wrong on the first try. After...

I need to make up a spare tire/wheel for emergencies. It doesn't need to be anything special. 14x5, 14x6, close to stock backspacing. Or recommend a source for a reasonably priced new wheel. Thank you!
You could use a Magnum cam and add the snout extension and fuel pump eccentric available from Hughes Engines (Mancini Racing might have them too). Or run an electric fuel pump.
I have the Hughes springs in my Magnum heads. Cam is 212/220 @.050 .485/.506 @ 1.5 rocker arm ratio. No machining required and they work as they should.
I rebuilt my first engine last year and wanted it to be the least costly possible. I just wanted a reliable street rumbler engine. I went with a 318 magnum (same things apply to a 360 magnum except engine balancing which impacts flexplate/torque converter and harmonic balancer) I had my block...
I'm in it for the long haul, hoping to meet more FABO folks on the tour. My car isn't the prettiest thing on the road but it's solid, reliable and fun.
Fond memories of this picture from the mid 80s. It was on an air freshener hanging in my dad's pickup. As I recall the words "haulin' ***" were printed on it.
With similar goals I did a warm-up rebuild on a 5.2 Magnum short block I picked up for $125. For the the block I went .030 over with flat top pistons on stock re- conditioned rods , align honed, and squared up the deck, crank inspected and polished. Magnum heads had a complete valve job done and...
