Exactly. Whatever you THINK the budget is.......add more for life and reality. How much more? I don't wanna say and then get bludgeoned over it but with supply chain issues- machine shop extended times and everything else in 2024 things tend to be much more $$ than planned.

If and if. If you have the money -and it will be alot- you could go with an Offenhauser dual quad and two 500cfm carburetors. If you're ok that this setup works great- but offers no improvement over a good single 4bbl carb it would sure sound wonderful when all the barrels are singing plus it's...

I remember back in the mid 1990s a mopar magazine sponsored the build of a street 360 6 Pack. It was a give away engine. The builder Figueroa and Thornton built the engine. They are a legit mopar builder specializing in street only engines. The engine was very nice but I was so disappointed...

I think simply because the B engine will always have a better head makes it is the winner- whether stock or stroked with all the aftermarket parts. Common B head uses 2.08 int and 1.74 exh. (I have omitted the early heads with 2.08/1.60 config as the bigger exh valve head is plentiful as it was...

This is an interesting question of 360 vs 383. With the intro of affordable speed parts that began about 25 years ago for mopars its really a wash. Today and relatively speaking the affordable stroker kits, aluminum heads and assortment of Hyd and solid roller cams is the determining factor...

My train of thought is what I would be presented within say....1986-1993. I had not alot of money. I had some skill and cores were plentiful and cheap. Any 360 had pistons way down in the bore ATDC. A 383 had a piston providing ideal compression. Im talking a good sound core re using as many...

No one has mentioned that wrapping headers causes the metal to rot much more quicky than not wrapped. Wrapping hold moisture too.

The hobby is all about tinkering. Often things are purchased and installed that don't improve acceleration but are part of the hobby. Think engine dress up kits- yellow spark plug wires and those big Accell super coils back in the day. Yes, those parts were legit performance parts but most...

You say its got "Original Headers." It has headers the previous owner or one of the previous owners installed OR it has the cast iron exhaust manifolds? Headers for old mopars works like this. TTI and Dougs fit the best- do NOT route any tubes under front end components resulting in lessened...

Should do a budget build like the Sunday morning cable TV shows do it. Edelbrock heads, hyd roller cam, roller tip adjustable rocker arms, full MSD billet ignition, Holley sniper fuel injection, and the best part- a set of E3 Sparkplugs!!

It's easy to spend other people's money.

I like the plan layed out by 318 will run. I also like a high stall converter but be warned- they are not cheap! Get it running and running as well as it can and enjoy. For future power increases you could work on a separate pair of heads. For the newbie try not to think of it as porting but...

4spdragtop asked: "So did you have your dual quad manifold drilled for magnum heads?" I have a new set of EQ Magnum heads that are drilled for LA intake manifolds. In the future- I will build a carbureted 360 to replace the OBD1 318 that's in the truck currently and the 360 will use the EQ...

4spdragtop that is a great looking 273. The oOffy and probably the Edelbrock dual quad manifolds were specifically made for the 273 only. When the 318 came along it worked on those because the heads were the same. But no one tooled up and made a low profile under hood dual quad for the LA340...

On my mini tubbed Dakota I recently did the intake manifold plenum plate re seal. While the keg was removed I set my Offenhauser dual quad on the 5.2 as well as a Weiand Tunnel Ram. The 273/318 Offy probably will work great with OEM Magnum heads. The Magnum heads have smaller intake ports than...

The air cleaner assembly may have had great value by itself but cutting it up? Ouch!

Neat set up. Edelbrock D64 manifold. Looks like a factory Hemi air cleaner assembly?

Offenhauser never made a dual Pane intake manifold. Their low-profile manifolds are a split plenum single plane. Not the single plane design like a Victor or Torker either. 50s tech. They made a "Dual Port" which does not accomplish the claims Offy made. Offys Tunnel Rams and Port O sonic single...

Too many attempts at humor with puns. Just like the Batman and Robin movie with Alicia Silverstone. Connor MacGregor played himself and its unbearable to watch.

Dyno runs are interesting and beneficial but I noticed sometimes the engine that makes the most peak power does not necessarily cross the finish line first. I like to use large displacement V8s as an example. Take the 440 six pack and the 455 Stage 1- vs the Chevy LS-6 454. The 440 and 455 had...

Many already knew that Apollo Creed was modeled after Muhamad Ali but many don't know Stallone wanted Apollo to have the Ken Norton physique. So much so he had Ken audition for the part. But Kens a boxer and Stallone was worried Norton would actually be dangerous to film scenes with. So, Wethers...

Remember the old old Weiand Intake manifolds used to have cast in "Say Why-And." To this day I hear WeeLand and WeeLin. Personally I think the original lead singer of the Stone temple Pilots should make intake manifolds. His name is Scott Weiland

Our hobby has a rich history with "Elder-Brock" carbs and intake manifolds.

I listen to a respected podcaster/auto repair tech who is a fanboy of all this BS. He was going on and on about how Hydrogen is the future and is so awesome.

Here's what I have done to a 1995 Dakota My father gave me. (He doesn't really understand the hobby.)

It was a wonderful era for musclecars. I came into it in the mid 80s. I love the bias ply N50 15 look. Jacked up in the rear. Practical? No. But even as a 16 year old kid I was able to buy them new big tires- Formula 1 Superstocks and some 15x10 Cragar SSTs with air shocks. Ill take the day 2...

Many who defend EV and the technology respond to all the factual shortcomings with: "They will figure it out." Who are "They" For the past 5 years the best minds- not in the US but the best minds on THE PLANET have used billions maybe trillions of $$$ into solving all the problems with...

Restaurants, stores and manufacturing facilities are short on workers. What workers do show up are not necessarily good. Everything from food to brake pads is hit or miss as far as availability.
