You don't need to tap the block. The pan is fine as long as it is above the oil level. But it should have some room in the pan, below the fitting not just barely above the bottom of the pan. The location you show is just off the bottom.

It would be better if it were located above the oil level in the deep sump area. Not in line with a main bearing.

I hope you can join the series. We need to get some new blood. Most of us are ageing and slowing up. Myself included. I just can't make as many races as I used to.

Who? me or the car? :)

Not really. A 500 2bbl will flow 500 cfm at a pressure drop of 3 inches across the carb. A 500 4bbl will flow 500 fpm at 1.5 inches pressure drop. Since most every one is used to the rating on 4 bbl carbs (at 1.5 pressure drop), if you use the same pressure drop (1.5) on the 2bbl, that carb only...

OK I thought you knew better. PS: I run a 500 cfm holley 2 bbl on my engine, and it works well, but it is used just to get the car from the pits to the starting line. Fogger system does the real work. :)

@Newbomb Turk What size 2 bbl would you recommend? A 500 two bbl would have bigger barrels than the primaries of the 4 bbl, and not be as responsive as a 4 bbl. But the 4 bbl will have less restriction at high rpm/load. PS: A 500 2 bbl has the same flow rating as 375cfm 4 bbl when rated at...

I installed a 3 1/2 tone heat pump package unit with aux heat strip, last fall in my rental. Problem in Florida, is if your not a contractor it is a ***** to get a unit or any parts locally. I bought my unit from Lowes On Line. The local store would not sell to me, but on line was fine and they...

Doesn't make any difference in fitting, but the 83 engine has hydraulic valve train, where the 70 engine is solid mechanical valve train. Also the cyl head takes different spark plugs and a different valve cover. The intake manifold might need to be changed as (and I am not sure) the 83 engine...

I raced with/against Ron many times in the slant six series. Super nice guy. I don't remember, but we might have met at his funeral service.

They are out there. Just don't meet your location criteria. I have one, but in Florida.

John Force injured in crash. MSN

A good read. oil-pan-seal

Make sure the outer ring of the damper is not loose from the inner hub. I had one come completely off and run across my toes. It sounded similar to that but was a constant sound. Like holding a piece of metal against a pulley. PS: Most slants do have a slinger, but not all.

I am aware of that. He got one from "group" buy. If I am not incorrect, the original deal was $30,000 for 1 or 10, (engineering, programing, etc) so if the total cost is the same, go for the max. Then sell the excess to recover your cost. Again, my info is not 1st hand, and could be incorrect...

If I remember correctly, Someone (Crower, I think) made a run of special order "billet" slant six cranks, some years ago. My info is second or third hand, but minimum quantity of 10 cranks at $3,000 ea. If anyone has confirmed info, please correct me.

Not in my yard. We need the rain.

Yes, it is possible, but It doesn't have to be. I built my 66 Valiant to prove that point. Had the car at the track (granted not street legal) for a total of about $1500 (including buying the car). 1st weekend out (over 3 days) got the car in the high 13's. Currently have about $3,000 in the...

A slant can be quick, also. My 66 Barracuda with a 170 slant and 3250 lbs went a 12.905 at 101.85 MPH through the mufflers. @Darter6 has seen that car in person. (ran against me at M-D) at time stamp 21.00 All depends what you want.

Looks like there are a couple of people who raced at South Glens falls. Was not in my area, but I raced at South Glens Falls, and North Hudson one time each back in 1964.

What a bunch of "youngsters". I'm 82 and still doing this crap. In the old days started out with a flathead powered Gasser. Then went in the service and missed a couple of years. Then started running low class "stockers". Ford, Chevy, and then Mopar. Around 1976-77 started running brackets. Kind...

That sounds like York, Pa. Been there, done that.

I can't see the sense of doing it the hard way. The bushing reduces the size of the crank pilot hole, and allows the use of a stock converter. There is no down side. Why spend a bunch of money on a special converter, when a low dollar bushing will accomplish the same thing. Granted if you want a...

When talking to any converter builder, if you are keeping your old transmission make sure they are aware of that.

Problem with getting a converter with the large pilot, is they may not be able to give you a High stall speed with the small splines to fit your transmission (those parts are getting hard to find). So then you will need to get a later transmission, or change the front section of your trans to...

What is wrong with using the bushing?

1958 Montomery NY. Air force auxiliary air field. Friends from the "Draggin Dragons" hot rod club from Bellville, NJ. took me. Volunteer track worker that year. Did some racing the next year. Since then I have raced at over 50 different dragstrips, over the eastern US. Plus some circle track...
