I guess I've never seen a Mopar engine that ran worth a ****, then.

@RAMM long time listener, first time caller, what are your thoughts on the 400 with say a thumpr cam? (and will you link that big block 2bbl you did?) i'll hang up and listen.

This ^^^^

I've used everything from a bench grinder and a file to a drill press with a broach. It's not hard to see when it's flat and most of them don't take that much at all. Luckily with the slant 6, the top of the adjuster hole is already flat.

Socket fixture on a grinder or just put it on a Bridgeport?

Yes it does! It's a simple procedure really even if you had to do it.

I would go over it and check to see all main ground and power connections are tight and clean.

looks spot faced to me… haven’t checked them all out yet.

You could get ball and ball pushrods, but then, you'd make up the extra cost of the correct adjusters.

Im just payin the cards I was dealt….btw those were cup style posted not ball.

:lol: Yeah, that wouldn’t work, I have to leave my windows shut because of that.

Thanks for the info bro - You both did a great job. I hope this one turns out half that good - I already bought a gallon of metallic silver paint, and I've already started painting. So, the grill might not stand out that much - But I'm gonna do it anyway. The old grill was black and I was gonna...

it's a window... and it's in the kitchen so i kinda, sorta need standard screen there. the screen door is one of those all metal security types. thank [insert deity of choice] for that.

Had exact same problem with a Pert module. Died suddenly....but started after engine cooled down. Owner no longer trusted the Pert & switched to HEI. Going well now, well over 10 yrs.

They do make screen door protectors, if you don’t mind the look.

The 383/400 Chr has the highest rod/stroke ratio of ALL the popular BB engines. That means they do not breath well at low/mid rpm, all else being equal. Sig Erson, a very clever cam grinder, realised this DECADES ago & issued the warning below; although it refers to the 440 [ has a high r/s...

i contemplated alum screen, but i couldn't find any the first time they busted out the billion year old unit so i settled for whatever passed for super heavy duty. it's held up well thus far. i didn't have to replace it, just "reset it" because they like to lean and flop against the screen and...

Yep. They all fit.70-72. And, thank you! Was my ex girlfriend's car that we both built .

Oh, Wow Man. That looks great. Were u able to use the 70 headlight bezels?

3/4 race cam. tried and true. can't go wrong.

You couldda already have picked up some chicks by now with a carburetor.

Yep, been there , had that...70 with Sharktooth!

My one year old Ruby girl, trying to get her bed back from my 6.5 year old Topaz boy. Ruby succeeded.

It's not like on all the small block rockers, but on the slant 6, the interference fit was all in the adjuster. The lock nut adjusters screwed right in by hand.

LOL. Thank you for the info and the link. I think that scamp would look killer with that grill. Yours is the purple/ white top? Very clean.

Post this in the electrical section and you'll get a bunch of replies.

Thanks rumblefish360. I agree FABO just might make a motor head out of me yet and I think that would be awesome

Ouch. That Holley FEAD does move everything forward, didn’t think it would be that big of an issue though. Might have to look at a dual fan setup. Glad to see you still making progress either way.

They fit fine, but the mother fuckers hung down so low-they were smashed up within the first couple weeks. And I had as tall of 15" tires that would fit and had the front end cranked up a respectable amount.
