I need to get out more and check out as many different events as I can. Time gets away from me too quickly these days.

I remember when I first bought my house and set up home owners insurance they suggested I take a picture of each drawer of my tool box as well. Expanding on what others stated, imagine trying to remember each individual tool in each drawer. Seams easy right now, but I am not under stress or...

My brother just told me about this. All their hard work lost to a fire.

Post four in this old thread I listed as .039" compressed for ones I measured at that time. Notice the Magnum gaskets also have a smaller bore diameter and most replacement LA gaskets are larger, so using an LA gasket with thinner compressed thickness may not gain much in compression. Holes in...

At this point in the week the weather is looking very promising for the heads up series race this Saturday at Milan.

Darn, I will miss it. I will be at Milan Dragway that day as a spectator for the last heads up series race of the year. There are some large parking lots in the area but I would not trust any of them. I am going to suggest calling Roseville police department and ask if you can park there. It is...

It was pretty cool having that Duster and the other companion cars displayed under that grandstand like that. I am glad I got to see them. Thanks for bringing it out.

Isn’t that a front wheel drive Charger? Either way, for a long time I have wanted to do a rear wheel drive conversion on a front wheel drive car. So it’s cool.

Looks like maybe a Traxxas TRX4. They were sold with a variety of different bodies so may be able to find a body you like already painted. Traxxas makes nice RC trucks these days. Lexan bodies of many kinds are available, some already painted, many not painted. Just verify wheelbase and adapt...

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 think you are correct. I remember he had a couple videos on YouTube about his engine teardown after that. Search B3 Racing. Edit to add video.

Darn. I was really hoping he could complete the week this year.

Great looking car. Will it be in the show area or will it make any exhibition passes? Either way, I will be looking for it.

It was. In the racing forum. World of Mopar at Norwalk

The small one under the plate that gives access to the snap ring for removing the extension housing has many different names online when people talk about it. Should be just a small flat gasket with two holes like the one in this Amazon link below. I thought I found this listed in other places...

Speedmaster makes a cast iron Magnum stock replacement head. Speedmaster makes an aluminum LA head that is basically a copy of the Edelbrock Performer RPM LA head. EQ (Engine Quest) makes a cast iron Magnum stock replacement head. Most likely EQ and Speedmaster are getting their cast iron...

The Speedmaster heads do not have LA pattern intake mounting. The thread PRH linked is a good read on those heads and if I remember correctly, the two heads @MOPAROFFICIAL received initially were a little different, so he sent one back to get another one so they did match. I assume that means...

I am playing it in the background while I work. Good to see so many different cars. The Viper is so cool.

I will be there on Saturday as a spectator. Been looking forward to this one all year.

I believe it. You have previously mentioned the pile of heads you have on deck. That alone is a ton of work, and no way that’s all of it.

If you still have them you could make that a winter project, since it’s fresh on your mind now.

I wonder if this is the modification @IQ52 did in this other thread. Page 6, post 126. He mentioned a large amount of oil flow from the lifter itself. who is running MRL (BAM) Lifters without lifter bore sleeves

The guy at Powell Machine was the first video I saw on straightening a camshaft. I had no idea it could be done like this. Pretty darn cool.

Is the outside diameter of the bronze guide itself the same between an 11/32” stem and an 8mm stem, so the only difference is the valve shape itself? Would it be reasonable to wonder if one 8mm valve could be temporarily inserted with clay on both ends to keep it centered at a specific lift...

Anyone within driving distance of Milan Dragway in Milan Michigan should try to make it out to one of the Heads Up Racing Series events held the first Saturday of each month during the summer. There is one more coming up in October, which I think is the weekend of the 5th and 6th. One qualifying...

Oh yeah, they are locals. Thanks for checking on that.

Sounds great! We need more. Definitely post some follow-up videos, please.

Did he say what tracks he would take it to? Maybe I will be able to check out all your hard work in person. As others already mentioned, this is an excellent build thread. I really enjoyed it and go back to read through on occasion. It was a huge accomplishment getting it to a point where you...

We have also had one in use for around fifteen years or so now with no problems at all and lots of street miles. Proper installation prevents problems. File fit where necessary to get everything fitting correctly and then assemble with red Loctite on the camshaft sprocket bolt and it will stay...
