    aluminum heads

    I have a set of standard 440 Stealths purchased bare. Had Hughes prep them w/ valve job, milled them to 75cc`s and I finished the port work myself - @ $2,000 all in all. Going with a Comp cam kit w/ springs, locks, retainers etc. As long as I get the cam, intake setup, and tuning right my `74...

    Spark plug clearance Eddy RPM/Proparts?

    Close to buying a pair of Eddy RPM Performer 75cc heads for my 9:1 comp 440 Duster w/ Proparts headers from Bob Mazzolini. I`ve heard there may be spark plug clearance issues with this combo. Any opinions/experiences/suggestions? Thanks in advance.....

    Opinions on this radiator/fan setup?

    What does the FABO brain trust think about a 22" Griffin universal fit aluminum unit w/ a 16" Flexalite 2,500 elec. fan to cool a modest 440 (cast crank, 9:1 comp, .030 over rebuild; doubt it will ever exceed 500 hp)? If the downflow unit would be insufficient I could spring for the crossflow...

    Why is engine stalling?

    Thanks for the reply. I will have enough $ for upgrades to this motor; as I said heads (or port work on current heads) and cam coming but the carb, intake, and MSD ignition were on this motor when I bought it. Will said upgrades (cam and heads) be able to make if not optimum but acceptable use...

    Why is engine stalling?

    Mix is probably rich. As I said this motor needs a thorough tune and new plugs def on the list. Were gapped recently. I`ll probably wait untill I have $$$ for new heads and cam before I do anything....BTW does anyone know if the Proparts headers will fit Eddy RPM`s w/o mods?

    Online looking at rear susp. options for my Duster waiting to fire up the snowblower (900 hp at the blades, turbocharged on pump gas).

    Original 71 Duster Seats?

    Do these look like original stock Duster seats? If so, what model? BTW I am likely to put these on sale; plan to go with racing seats and no back seat (useless anyway with rollcage). They are in very good condition.
