So I have been gone for a long while, engine building has kept me busy, And I grew tired of the know it alls on this site who dont do this for a living. But perhaps I'll pop back in here and there, we will see.

Maybe some of the few remaining UTG fans can explain how his "500 HP" slughammer after a full year of tuning and tweaking, can only manage 9.0s at 87 mph? (1/8th mile) He put up a new video explaining how you can pick up a SECOND AND A HALF of ET, just by improving your 60 ft by 2 tenths...

Newest UTG video out reveals shocking speed secrets of top fuel racing!!! Evidently, there are big gains to be had running a OPEN differential! Way less bind on the drivetrain=BIG et gains!! Supposedly top fuel ran 8 3/4 open rear ends before the ford 9" "became popular" then stay tuned for a...

Different car, same builder, same results. Poor performance, tons of excuses. Fully gutted, 2100lb all out race car with a "UTG" built race slant six....Ran 10s in the 1/8th mile at a staggering 66 mph. According to Wallace racing calculator, at a starting line weight of 2300Lbs, running a trap...

So, there seems to be a lack of affordable stroker shortblock assemblies for sale these days, so having a good selection of cores, I have been considering building a few basic street performance 408 shortblocks, to sell, but the question is, what price point makes this a worthwhile project? What...

Just in case people get the idea that I'm a 318 "hater" I wanted to share this stroker build that I've been working on. The idea with this engine in a mild, daily driver engine, with emphasis on torque. This engine will be going into a 1950 dodge 1/2 ton, which is a cool truck all ready. The...

Just recently started using the Ampro block cleaning system, so far....I LOVE it. This old dodge flathead 6 looked like it came from the bottom of the ocean!

Was a lot of talk about the "318 fest" down in... I think georgia a while back, but have heard zero about how it turned out, I know there were some members here that attended, was hoping to see some results or updates?

Just when you thought you have seen everything. It seems old uncle tony has decided to "call out" steve dulcich and david friberger with a a mopar "318 build" but, with zero new parts other than a gasket set being allowed. Quite bizarre. What do you guys think?

Thought it might be interesting do do a little thread on building a 1st gen HEMI, more specifically, a 1958 392... It IS without a doubt, the biggest pile of rusted, seized, hopelessness I have ever seen in the form of a engine core. But hey, I enjoy a challenge, soooooo. Follow along although...

Any of you guys watch that youtube channel? I caught a few early ones, seemed pretty ok, but the last few, dang... opinions?

Want to give a shout out to a awsome FABO member, Mgc340... I bought a 340 engine fresh machined but unassembled a year or so ago from him, and recently went to clean/measure/and assemble, and found the machinist had mistakenly bored it .005 over the intended size. I reached out to Mgc340...

Being somewhat of a technology idiot when it comes to phones and stuff, how do you post a link in a thread to another thread?

Looking for any advise or input on dealing with a insurance company on a classic car. My 71 swinger is insured through a classic collector policy for a agreed 12k. A few months back it was hit in the rear by a guy in a 1 ton chevy truck, his insurance accepted the fault, but the issue is they...

Ok guys, give me some feedback here. I have a car for sale in the classifieds, and I have a out of the country buyer potentially interested, what have you guys run into sending a car out of the states?

Yeah, I know a "WIW" post but this stuff is a little out of my normal range. I have a opportunity to buy a running R3 W7 ex truck series engine. Had thoughts of using in a drag race application, but not sure. It is a compleat, running drysump engine. Wondering if there is a market for the W7...

So BEFORE I mention who this member is, id like to lay out the facts. Guy offers to sell his fitech fuell command center that is a week old because hes going a different direction. He says its just like new, used one week. 300 bucks seems ok, so I PM him and say if its as he says, compleat and...

Guys, let me first say that I have only ever had 1 engine on the dyno that I built, so I am not real knowledgeable on dyno horsepower of how its calculated. But a recent discussion has made me do some thinking, because what I am being told doesn't seem to add up to what I THOUGHT I knew! What...

Anybody on the board here going to be traveling through PA anytime soon that wants to haul a car? Its in telford pa, coming to concord nc, 556 miles to be exact, just throwing it out there

Lets discuss MPG... I see guys with slants talking about getting somewhere around 20-22 or so with good tuning, and I wonder what peeps are getting with a mild, sharply tuned 318 LA or even magnum. Sorta thinking a good 318 magnum, low gear A999 lockup trans and a 2.94 gear in a A body could...

Just wanted to say that 75 Duster 360 is a great member, bought some 340 blocks from him, and some other stuff, everything was as he said, actually maybe better than he said.. Nice honest guy!!!:cheers:

Well, just letting the peeps know, STILL haven't gotten the transmission case he promised a year ago....... I know lots of guys like his spray can restorations, but I aint happy......

This is the 71 dart I bought from rj72cda off this sight, it was a heck of a deal, and he was straightfoward and honest about the cars condition.. Little bit of elbow grease, bigbolt patern disks swap for the front and rear, put in a nice /6 from a local buddy, got a little bit more to do, but...

I was checking out a dart parts car the other day, and noticed it had a factory am/fm radio, with a "fader" switch on the dash, and aparently rear speakers... I dont think I have ever seen one before, they must be pretty rare??????? Anybody know?

OK, Joe, here is your deal of the day.. Listen very carefully..... Since you are so unhappy with the deal you so publically wanted to call me out on, with your one-sided rant.. I am gonna make you a one time offer..Come on down here to my place, you know where it is, and we will load up EVERY...

If you have to "bump" your own adds day after day, your stuff is probally over priced for the current market, or JUNK, sometimes both.... just sayin...

Guys I have a 70 Challenger I am thinking about selling, or parting out, and was told the argent colored panel above the tail lights was rare, or some what rare. Never had to many E bodys so I am not to sure. Looking for opinions on this, thanks!!

Wondering who sells door and vent window weatherstrip for the older trucks, 73-80? any ideas?

Guys, trying to figure out what size tires to put on my daily driver, 04 ram 1500 shortbed, it has the factory 20s and I would like to see pics of one of these trucks that has been lowered, and has a lower profile tire. Internet searching wasnt much help... thanks!!

Just sort of wondering what you guys think, I have, and am thinking about selling a HEMI. I would like to use it, but I dont have a car that is even worthy of it!! It is a 1966 date block, .030 over, std/std steel 8 bolt crank. The engine is dissasembled, has been cleaned and magged. All checks...
