I've never been able to make a trade on this site, but I'll give it one more shot. Have unused 440 + .030 H dome Diamond pistons with around 1.85" comp ht and Chevy pin. Also have lightly used 440 + .060 F top JE SRP with around 2.06 comp ht and Chry pin. Want comparable oversize 440...

Yes if you are going to put it together yourself you will need some reference books and tools. A factory manual for your '73 will be useful for not just the car, but engine and trans questions. And then a performance engine book of some sort, I like the factory published Chrysler Racing...

Good question. So back to racing the last two years, after not racing for 35 plus years. That's a good thing. Running a lot slower car than I used to, but having fun. This year I have noticed a new level of less energy and go, me, not the car, and wondering if that's as to be expected at...

Well there you go, not just a difference from north to south, but different central to the coasts. I went to the ten or so yards left south of Seattle, and the largest Binford's has 13 acres and I don't know how many thousand cars, but few cars more than a dozen years old. When they get...

I recently went to some local yards for the first time in a number of years. Some things have changed quite a bit. And I can imagine it is likely somewhat different up north here compared to the south, but this is what I found. Because of the increased population and the scarcity of land up...

That's some of the stuff I kept, wish I could find someone local to broach them.

Have some left over core parts from a 47 RE trans that were in a '99 Diesel truck trans. 47RE core valve body, small inlet, early sensor, believe '94-'99 applications, but you judge by pics. $125 shipping included to contiguous US states, also have some other 47RE stuff if you need it, PM me...

I think my notes say 3902 9174. I can take another pic if you are interested.

Usually change the brass sychros at rebuild, the teeth on the steels can be dressed once or twice. I like use a Dremel like grinder used to grind chainsaw cutting teeth.

Not sure if anyone restoring will find this of interest, but found it while doing New Year's garage cleaning. Long term stored, looks pretty good shape, some pan bolts properly repaired with helicoils. '72 Torqueflite 340 main case ID PK3515843, book says used for '71 & '72, though VIN which...

A true ground breaker and seemed to be a nice guy every time I talked to him.

Use a timing tape and a pointer where you can see it. Just need to establish and set up while engine shortblock is accessible to verify TDC #1. On a race car I put the tape TDC marking where I can see it easily and get a light on it to verify quickly.

Still love you anyways. Us westerners got to stick together.

Seen a lot of "ok" cars that ran, and then got taken apart to make "perfect," and never made it back together in owner's lifetime.

I'd say those spring pressures probably ideal engineer specs, but by the time they made it off the off the assembly line the numbers were less. I changed cams and springs, and pulled some pretty low milage performance era motor stock springs and checked them with maybe like 30k orig miles and...

"Not lifting off the gas during a shift", I'd recommend going to Liberty and getting the face plated set-up. Synchro's slow the shift down too much and make it weaker overall.

Figured it was going to be a receipt for engine parts or machine work.

Sadly yes, I have had to move on from a few. One was a good friend I had known for a number of years, and then he got married. Tried to adjust to the change and incorporated some couples activities, but his wife had to be in control all the time and was devious. On more than one occasion my...

True what you say about regular cars getting pricey Rusty, but that also has something to do with 50 plus years, and related to your screen name, the equivalent to our issues about getting old, but in this case a metal based object age problem, RUST.

Factory optioned Muscle Cars are going to command a premium. Standard optioned cars of the era can be had for a lot less and modified. When I was young and Muscle Cars were available to buy, or just used cars, it seemed like the old guys with Model Ts and like, ruled the shows and swap...

I don't have a Mancini version, but I have an original DC Purple shaft (with 106 CL?) that I bought about 40 years ago that I just put in my 400 truck engine race car last year with about 9.6 comp. I think the cam would work a lot better if it had 11.5 comp. That said, it runs 12.80s, never...

I don't know with info offered. If stock 340 cam maybe 4,800-5,200 rpm, if bigger cam and springs, more. Peak shift points and trap rpm often different for best ET.

Not a paint expert, but my friend is, and I have done a few over the years. Anyways, my friend would recommend 2 & 1/2 gallons, mix it all together and then re-can it before you start. If you have a little left over in a quart can, you save for future touch up repair and you'll be glad you...

I still run the old Holley electric pumps, they deliver enough fuel for me and work pretty well until they get too many hours on them and then usually the brushes get worn, and then I change them.

Man, I feel for you. I've been trying to make a trade for something, anything, for a few years on these sites. I've sold some stuff, but never have made a trade, and really I would much rather trade something; (it's a hobby right?). In this case, I can't use what you have because, as part...

Carb spacer, message sent

Well I believe he said that back in the 1970s when there weren't electric pumps available like today. In addition, I also believe the stock pump was intended to work as a regulator too. Nowadays lots more better electric pumps, and not heating the gas from mech pump block contact, out ways...

Pierce ?

Like TrailBeast said, put a straight edge on the cast VC seal surface.

Like TrailBeast said, (I wish I knew his first name), I've had some big block heads with well over an 1/8" of VC rail casting deviation, that leaked no matter what gasket or VC. I've found some heads are ok, and some are really bad as cast. Once I even got shut down and lost a race while...
