That carb looks fairly clean. Is it by chance the Chinese knock off BBD? If so, you might have to take the top off and free up the metering rod slide. The inside of those seems to corrode like a bee-atch. I've had to deal with a couple of those. Uncle Tony has a video on those as well.

Love it! Competition Series TQ! Super stock deal?

Yes, it does. Hughes sells the 1.65 PRW stuff for the Magnum.

Have seen that as well. If the op wants to keep it cheap, down, and dirty, slam it home. But, I agree completely with you, "Do as I say, not as I do." :lol:

With all the talk of whether or not to inspect/re-ring bottom end, I'm surprised no one has stated the fact/obvious. Any Magnum engine with over a hundred thou on the clock needs the rid shells checked. Plenum gasket is most likely out and it has been sucking oil. Thus, detonation. The upper...

Simple, to the point. Good video.

Absolute and utter dog ****. Whatever QC personnel that let that by should be fuckin ashamed of themselves.

Oldsmobile studs. They have the 5/16 thread for the head and 3/8 for the rocker. I think we had Magnum guide plates.

I agree with Junky, the factory rockers are actually really good. I tried a set of chubby rockers and could not get the geometry correct. Lost lift due to it. If running a chubby rocker, 1.65 ratio is needed to yield the 1.6 on a Mag.

I think the finish on the head surface has a lot to do with seal. Block as well. The aluminum has almost a mirror like finish. 13.5 static is not that big of deal, depending on cam specs. Sounds like maybe a few little things adding up to the big thing.

I would think you would need the pump and alternator from the truck. Only caveat that I can think of is how the alternator would be controlled. I know you can wire the 03-08 stuff like an old square back. I tried that with a 2013ish car alternator and it did not work. Pcm controls them Waaaay...

She's a trip! Gotta love Ann....

As someone who was born in the 70s, grew up in the 80s, and graduated high school in the very early 90s, I have an appreciation for a wide variety of music. I like most all rock music, have a fondness for the Hank Sr. country and western, the 70s Outlaw country music. But especially love the...

What?!!! No recommendations for a tensioner?!!!

I want it!! Lol!

Now to find out WHY it bent the pushrod. Stuck for just quick-a-minute valve?

PM sent.

I can't speak for the 8H, but on the 545RFE, the number of detents is same as a three speed. There aren't detents for the o.d. positions. I've done a couple of trucks, a 62 and 78. The 78 utilized the factory column shift. The 62 utilized the dash mounted cable shift.

Welcome to the madness! You don't have to use the 73 up K member. Conversion mounts are available for the 67-72 K. However, the brakes and big ball joints are an advantage on the 73 up cars. Holley has mounts that move the engine ahead in order for the SRV motor on the back of the intake...

I like his cover of Africa by Totto.

I'm in love...... :lol:

:eek:

Appreciate the replies. I finally found a pic of a restored M code engine and i can see the lower valve cover corners using the stud/nut combo. I know that the big blocks in general used the same hardware. I was wondering about the markings in particular. This vehicle isn't going to be an OEM...

I did a quick search and didn't find my answers. First off, what would be the intake manifold bolts? Just like a typical 440 of same vintage, but, did they all have the "TR" marking? Second, the valve cover bolts. I know in some years they used a short stud with a nut in the lower corners...

Getting over flooding here in NW Iowa. Stay safe!!!!

Same deal here. Very sad.

Traumatic Brain Injury is no joke. Have had experience with this situation where a family member was killed and the spouse suffered TBI. They were on a golf cart, not an 11,000 hp funny car........

Never like to hear this. May God lay his healing hand over the family. May he rest in peace.
