It's crazy, those steve Morris smx engines start at 75k dollars, and they fail quite regularly. But I guess that's to be expected pushing things to that extream. Way out of my league

Concord NC

If he has a adjustable fixture for cutting heads, that's what I use to cut intakes. You bolt through the intake flange to the fixture, then indicate in the gasket surface in both axis.

Not the cam I'd use in a heavy B body with a 3:23 gear, but if I WAS gonna use it, I'd do like RustyRatRod suggested

Maybe I'm jaded, working on other people's stuff, just leaves no time for my junk. But there is allways something cool in my shop. Like this all aluminum HEMI, will be a 528 cube pump gas street car deal. I guess I get more enjoyment now by doing cool stuff for other people.

Look around and find you a short deck R3 with ford mains. That would get you what you want! Probably more of those ford main cranks laying around than the mopar size stuff. I'd check with Ernie Elliott, he had a bunch of that stuff at one time

Yeah I get all that, just wondering what his build is to warrant such a nice crank

I'm wondering what your trying to accomplish? It's hard to imagine needing a $3k-4k crankshaft for a 360.

I lost my enthusiasm in the last few years as well. I spend all day doing machine work and engine building for others, and literally never touch my stuff anymore. Almost all my cars, engines and parts have been/or are for sale, but no one else seems interested in them either. Rebuilding a 69...

Looks like the driver "ran out of talent"

Wondering why you feel the need to re-invent the whole front end? They work fine as-is, and lowering springs worked fine for me. Just curious

Yeah, and maybe they DO offer them in the LA pattern now, I have no idea. All I have seen up till now is the magnum pattern.

I have never seen the china versions with the LA bolt pattern.

They were okish if maintained well, and under warranty, and absolutely money pit garbage after a few years.

It's a cheapo repop, (poor quality) so your gonna have to cut, grind, and do a ton of bodywork.

There is a lot more advantage to bushing the lifter bores other than not uncovering the oil band. Most of these blocks are 50+ years old, and literally nobody ever measures the actual bore diameter, not to mention lifter body diameter variations among brands. And the lifter bores are the...

This is a china magnum head, same castings regardless of who you buy them from. This particular head was just a spare "R&D" head, and the 2.02 port was a really quick seat cut, multiple angles, bowl opened up, and 15 minutes of port work. It's been a few years, but I recall it being in the 270s...

Same castings

You can buy them from almost any machine shop. (Including mine) Bare castings, or complete

The cracks DO start between the seats, the problem is eventually, the crack migrates through the seat area, causing burned valves and a leaking seat

I've gotten 270s with a 2.02 and some very basic porting.

The "new" EQ heads (china) are about your only choice. With a nice valve job and a little bowl work, they aren't bad. I'd recommend getting bronze guide liners installed from the get go also.

In my experience, a 14" unilug wheel with chrome chipping off, are worth whatever the scrap guy will pay me.

No idea on cage certification, never had one done.

Thanks for the offer, but I have literally ZERO interest in those cars.

Possible trades or may part out?

My experience with W2 rockers, is that they DONT oil the pushrods correctly IF they are that far away from the adjuster. Went through this exact scenario 4 or 5 years ago on a W2 340 I machined for a buddy. I showed him how to measure pushrod length after the engine was assembled, but he mis...

He will be lucky if he doesn't scatter that 427 ford with his malfunctioning dyno. Clown shop

Wrong length pushrods, it should have never been assembled like that. What does rocker geometry look like?

Here are the part numbers and the instructions. The kit DOES include 2 extra studs, and washers are optional on the rear bolts.
