You know, actually if he has a cam core he might be better off calling Oregon Camshaft and getting a regrind. 2 of my sons did that on their 1st motor builds. I am sure it would help with the young man's budget. For the OP : Cam Grinding, Camshafts, Racing & Performance Equipment,

Maybe you could ask friends who are car guys if they know anyone with a guide cutter. Look around for used headers and intakes etc. Mostly have fun building it with your son. I have three sons, and they are all into mopars. I can't tell you all the good times wev'e had.

Are the oil holes in the lifters all pointed towards the valley? If not they will tend to bleed down and be loud.

The motor also sits a little farther forward in these Sweptlines than in the later trucks. I do have room to go back about 3/4". I don't know if it is worth it though. I would need to make mounts for motor and trans, plus probably shorten the drive shaft.

Very nice truck! Thanks what size tires? Thanks

I have a set of slicks to mount, but would also like to get enough traction to not feel like I'm on ice. Chip and seal roads also don't help. I'd like to get a decent setup before going to the strip, which will unfortunately probably be spring of 2025.

A lot to think about, thanks. One problem is the lack of travel with the solid axle leaf spring setup on the front. I only have 2 3/4" of rise before the front tires come off the ground. I did move to the lower holes on the bars, but it has rained every day off and on since. I also removed the...

My son runs .575 lift with stock magnum rockers. He has used it daily for work over 4 years with no problems. No need to change to chevy rockers. We did cut the guides, used Hughes retainers, and lunati springs #73949.

I am still using a set of the MP ones that I bought in the late 80s. They were like$12.99 I think. I should have bought several sets! One of my sons has these, not as good as the old MP ones, no ribs. They have held up well though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/263483891794

I have never personally seen any Airwolf heads, except online. They did have a catchy name though. I've been trying to think up something similar to call mine. The best I have come up with that is similar to Airwolf is Dogfart heads, whatch ya all think?

I think the "Air Wolf" heads that never really panned out were advertised at 225cc. But, it may be my memory thats going... everything else sure is.

The plugged and moved pushrod Procomp heads that I built came out right at 210cc

Definitely looks like a Weiand. Good intakes, one of my sons runs one. Picked up a good bit over an Edelbrock airgap.

Is this the setup you mean? I came close to buying one a few years back, but ended up using tubes. https://wydendorfmachine.com/

I readjusted the bars today . I also did some checking. First off, both front brake calipers are dragging, so I will address that. I also checked how much travel the front leaf springs are giving me. I get right at 2 3/4" from loaded to bringing the tire off the ground. The front shackles...

Having a seat and guide machine makes a guy think about things like that!

I think first I will adjust the bars per GTX John's recommendation. I will keep a lookout for some decent drag radials.Usually some pop up for sale when drag season ends.

Thanks,I watched it and our own 318willrun's videos last night. Good info in there.

Thanks, I will try it.

Not an a body. My '67 short bed step side. I have homemade caltracs (caltrucks?), stock type shocks front and rear, 4.57 8.75 , and 31/10.5/15 regular tires. I know I will need some drag radials, but can't get any yet. Same with the shocks. I do have a set of 29" slicks that aren't mounted yet...

Best doggone Dodge in the west

It is a handfull. I need some sticky tires and some traction. Are there any old gasser guys around that can help me hook up a straight axle? Spins in 3rd at will around 45 mph.

With ported..

Here is a picture I found. That is the W2 Strip dominator

I can take a pic tomorrow, but it is on the motor. I had lots of pics, but lost them when my last laptop crashed. I am a big CCR fan, the channel is Creedence Chrysler Revival The video is in post # 16 it briefly shows the intake.

Thanks! It is a shame that Mopar did not relocate the holes. It would have been a simple operation. It looks like I may have a winter project. I agree with keeping the rockers where they are. I ended up with 2 different types of W2 iron rockers for the intakes. I bought/sold rockers from 3...

W2 StripDominator. I moved the bolt holes in the heads to fit it. You can see in this pic.

Oh yeah, Old Yeller still needs some tuning, but maybe since it's been awhile (2017) since I've driven it, It seems awesome so far. But then again, I am gettin old..

OK, I am working on another combo now. This one is an '85 d100 long bed. 360 10.6:1, MP R/T heads with 2.02 and mild porting. 232/232, .575/.575 on a 112 lobe sep. This distributor has a curve. 25 initial 34 total. Total comes in about 31-3200 rpm. We just took off a Holley 3310, and put a...
