    all of this is an assumption if you don't know the true deck height and the real cc of the chambers. you can get right close with published numbers, but with production tolerances it's just a guess, albeit an educated one.

    Cheap *** headers at it again!!

    good for you. what do you want, a cookie? anyway, i have doubts you've ever done any type of real mechanical work. the way that you describe things, how you talk about processes and your overall approach belies the facts that you so brazenly state. (ps that's way behind book time, amigo...

    Cheap *** headers at it again!!

    i fail to see how that is relevant to the conversation at hand. but let's go with half a day, depending on the situation at hand (lots of variables at play).

    is my math not mathing? the silvo piston is even shorter than the stock piston, so it should be in the hole even more, no? also, i wouldn't be on the horn with anybody but 440 source about their heads, and i would gladly pay their ask on them to support their business and the technical help i...

    Cheap *** headers at it again!!

    bro, he read about it and talked to people. i'm sure if he read enough popular mechanics and went to JPL and talked to a few folks he could build a new minivan based jupiter rover and the rocket to get it there-- powered by a 318 of course.

    Cheap *** headers at it again!!

    i'd take that bet eight days a week and twice on sunday. but we all know you're just talk. so before you go flapping your goat lips, about how you're gonna do wonders and **** black and blue cucumbers i thought you should know that: 1- i'm a professional mechanic, 2- i specialize in mopar and...

    Cheap *** headers at it again!!

    dan dan minivan man over here acting as if tti's and doug's just go on ahead and jump right into the engine bay and slide right on in when you open the box like spending 1K on headers is some kinda magic cheat code. are expensive headers easier to install than most, yes. but they too are not...

    Best cam for the street both power & sound

    buy one of the 360's the cost in building it is no different. or, more correctly, not different enough to matter. caveat: no matter what get the best condition and most complete motor you can, regardless of CID. you'll be miles ahead there.

    Seeking advice intake manifold

    having AC is going to limit your choices, a lot of aftermarket intakes don't have provisions for it. or at least for the stock pick ups on the brackets. so that means aftermarket brackets/systems. a lot of intakes don't have a provision for the coil mount, either. the one that jumps to mind...

    What "makes" a 66 Barracuda a Formula S ??

    there was very original 4spd S car locally that was really nice and seemed well sorted for low 20's and i thought that was a pretty good deal. if i was in the market i 1000% would've bought it, too. considering it was decked out in my kryptonite-- green with black interior.

    TV personalities, sponsors and property damage aside you can't really ask for more of an A & B test

    Cheap *** headers at it again!!

    yes, but how many have you actually installed? how many cars have you had with headers? how many cars with headers have you worked on? research all you want, there's no substitution for real world experience. also, sounds like headers aren't for you.

    Cheap *** headers at it again!!

    maybe you need to go watch it again and refresh your memory. the amount and degree to which they dented those tubes up far exceeds any amount i've ever had to massage a header in order to get it to fit, and i'm sure it's the same for most others. and what was the outcome? that's right, nearly...

    Disc brake/spindle ID

    interesting. i was under the impression that you couldn't run the BBP discs and calipers on the A spindle because it was too short and the caliper did not bolt up. is it possible the hub has been redrilled? anything is possible when talking about these cars, but the documentation is out...

    Don't read if you're close minded

    yeah, my lizard brain thought: 340=TQ rather than: oh, an early 340 would have an AVS and swapping that one for an AVS unit off a 440 would make sense. a whole hear hoof beats and thinking zebras when it was donkeys around the corner instead.

    i collected a lot of money off of the unsuspecting with a 318 that just "had headers and a 4bbl" and looked to be the brother from another mother to that motor, right down to the parts store special chrome air cleaner. agree to the day two action. throw mellow little cam and intake at it, snap...

    interesting... probably some ford parts that were modified to fit, hence the opening of the wheel register. for a long time the KH rotors were near impossible to get so a lot of people went to great lengths making thing just work. like others have said, i'd try and clean up what you have and...

    are those big bolt or small bolt? i know that there's uni-cast stuff out there for big bolt, and there was some a long time ago for small bolt (i think goodmark made or sold them?) but i haven't seen those in years and years.

    Mild 383 build

    the short answer: it depends the longer answer is: what is your ultimate intended goal? the alum heads probably have more room to grow, or will support a lot more power in out of the box form vs stock 906/915 heads. an aftermarket head is generally machined for larger valve springs, larger...
