#48 Alex Bowman wins his first Pole of the season at Bristol, but nobody picked him to be the quickest qualifier so no Pole Pick bonus award again this week.
it only costs you the cutting discs to cut less first, then cut more if you need to.
oh, and anyone wondering what the 'shift lever' is it's an old alternator bracket i used for setting up the shift rod lengths (i didn't have the right ones, lol).
neil.
Ok Rockers are on and shimmed the best I could with the provided shims. I think a better shim assortment would net a better alignment. All rollers are on the valve but some are not centred perfect. The Mancini shims with the kit are all the same size. Each bank can take 1 shim but anymore you...
Watch the video I posted when you get a chance. He goes into details. It was a large displacement small block Mopar in a Ritter block with Brett Miller cylinder heads based on Edelbrock Victor castings. Pretty kick *** combo.
I am rebuilding a 1969 440 that was put into this 1968 Dart. The oil pan that was in the car shows a lot of damage from hitting on the K frame. I am not sure this is the original 383 K frame as the drivers side motor mount has been relocated. I am trying to find a new oil pan and pickup that...
Just went through this exact scenario. Intake sat way too high because heads and block have been cut multiple times. My intake fit perfectly with no gaskets and my gaskets are .031” so I had .040” cut off the flanges and now it fits perfectly. I believe your thinking of taking .060” off is correct.
It's tight, but, I still retained the column shift. Doesn't matter in your case, as you stated. You will really like the swap. People say it's not for the faint of heart. Reality is, you do NOT have to spend mega bucks to do a gen 3 swap. Don't be afraid to ask questions here. Lots of gen 3...
I've been drag racing since 1959. Always footbrake. My opinion is "the box is for drivers that can't adjust to changing conditions. It is a crutch".
Waiting to get flamed
I’ve tried a bunch of CBD products for joint pain, and while they helped me relax, they didn’t really do much for my arthritis. But I know some people swear by them, especially for mild to moderate pain.
Looked at the chuck today. The threads aren't stripped, clean as if new, and I can set the thread in section right into the female portion. I guess years of 100 PSI expanded the female shell... in the big bin she goes.
Denny's mounts allow for adjustment, I don't recall how much. Maybe an inch. I initially had them on the engine so it would be as far back as possible. That proved to be too far back for me. I have my main engine harness connector on the firewall and it was just too close to work. It also put...
Parts like this are fun reminders that before there were Chinese fakes, complete with ripped-off trademarks and logos and package design and stuff…
…there were American ones.
