My pass side vc is probably close to that if not a little closer. Man, pop those washers off and see if it won't shift.. Looks like it will. You may just need to get some grinder action going on those washers and make the like a cam

Ahh ya know, you're right. They did make 3 & 4 bolt. I think there's a break there and then another break for 32 and 58 tooth.. I could be wrong. Too many rabbit holes haha

T Tone rings interchange. Depends what you want out of the motor. Forged is nice, but is it worth it for what you wanna do? You don't really hear of alot of 5.7 bottom end failures. I'd probably lean towards a set of drop ins for better ring lands. Who am I to give advice on that **** tho lol...

It's all subject to sources I suppose. I can't imagine running a. 0005 lol. Here's a different pdf, stating right there with 5.7 specs. They're all the same journals, which is 2.55 something. Oh.. Something to add about the Manley crank is that it uses 2" rod journals. Chevy bearing, more or...

Yes, you can use the bottom half of a .001 combined with astd size upper to gain .0005. SO if you were at .0015 and wanted 2, that would be the right move. I'll be happy if I'm somewhere between .002 and .0025. I think the factory spec is less than .001 (.0008 or 9) all the way to .002, calling...

Yea, I was really surprised. They were loose loose

Forgot to update this page after this past Sunday... Be prepared for an education in bearings. I finally got some bearings and main caps installed, so I could begin the process of checking bearing clearances. I also wanted to assemble 1 rod and piston, so I could recheck rod to block clearance...

Well there ya go.. just D shape it a little. Side note: Locktite and torque the motor mount to the block. Both of mine were had loosened up over the summer. I didn't locktite them or check actual torque when installing. just gave a good ol 1-2. First motor mounts I've ever seen get loose. To...

Someday, I need to educate myself on these pesky spool mounts. Could you just grind a little off one edge of the washer? Trying to visualize it

I installed mine on the stand... TTI shorties. I assume long tubes would be the same.

Out of everything that I've thrown against the wall...Changing the slots is the most appealing to me. This could be done in 30 minutes, without any visual changes. You're only shooting for 1/8".. take 1/8" off the the vertical slots (blue) and then add 1/8" to the other side of the slot (green)...

When I was making Hooptys mounts, I had to draw out the mounts with correct angles and to scale, when I wanted to shift to one side.. I made a prototype set of mounts from cardboard, while the motor was sitting where I wanted. The Hemi block is 45 degrees (close enough) and then I got the angle...

Only suggesting working on the K because the angles on the mounts can be deceiving and on one side, there isn't alot to play with and they weld those tubes in pretty good.. but a even cut on those and open the cut just a litte (pie) at opposing corners, might just get you enough lean to one...

Yea, I knew you didn't really there.. That's why I was surprised at first loo, it looked like yours. Honestly.. I don't think holley is gonna give 2 ***** and people have dealt with it. You could use a cutoff wheel and widen the slots to the pass side.. Then build a bead down the other side...

I thought this was you at first.. Then I saw the borg box. He has same issue You're at a fork.. Pick a oath and run

I'm not real familiar with the spool type K frames but looking at pictures, it appears that the saddles are straight up and down..maybe level-ish? I wonder if in a previous life, that maybe the car received a jolt and caused them to shift a little. or perhaps the slots are worn, little the...

Bored. 010 just to true things up.. 4.100 bore. I believe it's actually 427 but everyone calls it 426

Probably the best time I've ever had in a car...

I've seen strokers that were slightly less than 4.050 where they "made" them work.. Have also seen some horror stories where it didn't work out too.. Which was really bad. Not chancing it lol

She's a talker for sure

Long stroke and squirters don't get along

Here ya go, 2 helpers...well briefly. The big boy (Leo) isn't crazy about anything that makes noise, so he was in and out. Dottie on the other hand, will stand right in front of the leaf blower with her lips flapping and not care. She came in shortly after the first Pic, with a toy, insisting...

She pops in to make sure I'm doing it right and then back out to play and explore with her buddy.. We took in a golden retriever a few months ago. They're quite a pair

Yes, it's all forged. 4.100 2618 forged pistons, H beam forged rods and forged 4.050 crank.. All balanced

Just piddled today.. Stripped the old motor down to a longblock and started cleaning on the replacement.. I'll run gun bore cleaners through all the oil passes tomorrow. Might set the crank and double check rod to block clearance. I've been collecting things for this build for a while...

I cut at 49" and I believe I removed 8" of the top plate at the rear. I used 3/8x2x5 for the front plates.. 1/4 would've been fine but 3/8 is what I had. 49" left the rear subframe hole open on the bottom for drainage,

It's just kinda how my brain works. I keep a running list of reminders and I guess you'd call check points. Feels really good when I start marking things off and it keeps me on track, depending on where I wanna be. When I'm in the shop, I write things on a plastic divider I have that splits off...

I'm really happy with it.. Harbor Freight special.

Didn't hey a chance to do anything yesterday, due to a dentist appt right in the middle of the day.. Really trying to take advantage of some time off tho. Headed out to the shop about 11 this morning.. I still had a little welding left to do on the pass side frame connector and little cleanup...

I tossed the exhaust idea around in my head.. I for sure need a X or H pipe. With future plans including a mini tub, I'm not sure that I'll do anything with the exhaust just yet. I know running exhaust around a mini tub can be tricky.. And I'm not a fan of dumps
