so as not to hijack somebody else's thread, are these heads a viable alternative? Is there more work needed on these then other brands? What are the "Pros" vs. "Cons" of these heads? And then the old HP vs. $, are there "better" heads for less? No particular application, just balanced flow and...

were any solid lifters made for Mopars? are they still available or is there a newer alternative? Thanks! Bob

and like the 360 packages, here is other peoples experiences with the 4" crank in 340/360 blocks. some seem so simple, why isn't everybody (including myself) building one of these tarmac rippers? http://www.mopar1.us/stroker.html

https://www.mopar1.us/dyno.html not mine but enjoy reading the simplicity of some of the combos...then I get carried away with "I would change this or that"...enjoy reading!

was the CFD "casting" stronger than the AAWJ? Is that why it started use in the manual transmission engines? How long of a run did they have, IE, how many years was it used? Thanks1

what needs to be done to a factory timing cover and water pump when using an engine mounting plate. (picture is an example) would it be simplier to use a flat plate and just open up the holes for an electric water pump? are covers and water pumps sold already modified? Thanks! Bob

I saw the post about Indy and W-2 heads where it was mentioned that an aftermarket block "should" be in the mix. What can be done to a factory block to bolster it's HP increase containment? Partial block fill? Main cap replacement? Main cap girdle? As a side to the block fill, what is...

Bronze is/was the gear for mechanical roller cams but what is used for hydraulic? Is the gear pressed on to use a regular gear? If not, what is the gear to use that does not to be inspected from time to time? Thanks! Bob (this is the gear that is on the oil pump driveshaft)

Please correct me anywhere in this thinking: stock 360 cast crank,AAWJ(?);next up the later in strength would be the 4-bbl. 4-speed CFD cast crank; aftermarket cast crank would be equal to(?) factory forged 5140 crank and 4340 is top of the line...not including billet crank. IF these assumptions...

Out of the box,bolted on to existing short block,with any special pieces needed to work,what is the dollar amount spent per horsepower? And lets narrow that down to rocker shaft versions with standard rocker arms,not offset. Changing springs to match cam not part of dollar amount. Thanks! Bob...

what is the largest bore you can get out of a std block with sleeved cylinders? and this could be a two part question: A) sleeves with water circulating between them and B) sleeves that would be surfaced to fit tight to each other. just curious. you know, idle minds...that and thinking while...

looking for the measurement from the top of the dome to the deck of the piston. Thank-you! Bob

will the combustion chamber shape accommodate the early 340 factory "domed" pistons?

Would there be a difference in HP (all else being the same from set-up to set-up) between a piston with a dome/large CC head and a flat top piston with a small chamber head? Guess one thing right away might change and that would be ignition advance. If the heads flowed the same, compression and...

in the Summer 2013 issue of EngineMasters. Steve Dulcich does a nice,simple job of describing whats offered and power expectations.No W9 heads but Indy has 3 head offerings.Didn't know they had a T/A type cylinder head available. All in all, good article. Bob

I looked for the thread about them but gave up.Are these them?http://www.j-performance.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59

what tubing size do you use? what reamer size? I'm interested in doing a pair of 587's if for no other reason to say I did...and hopefully it works. Thanks! Bob

http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/mc/cylheads/chrysler/sb_victor.shtml ???they look like sumthin' I've seen before...are they even on the market yet or is this just a teaser? I'm guessing they need an offset rocker for the intake unless you put in studs or one the aftermarket shaft...

this would be the cam used in the 360/380 crate engine and others. I'd like to know how it behaves in a 360. not so much idle but where the power band comes in with a dual plane intake. Thanks! Bob

wanna put a hyd roller camshaft in a 73 360. ?#1)are there any drop-in variable duration hyd roller lifters? ?#2)any camshafts that use the std. gear for the dizzy and oil pump drive instead of a bronze or composite gear? ?#3)is there a spray on coating for added protection of the lobes...

or a description of one? no,I haven't called, trying to find a picture on the web and either none is available or there is a group of them and they are not the same design. I'm looking for one that has a 1/2" pipe thread fitting in the top of it.Thanks! Bob

had a Dart with a 68 340,headers,484 DC cam,LD-340 with 3310,3.23 gears and 4-spd. car ran 13.18 @108 with 7 X 27" cheater slicks.I could not shift, never used 4th gear, valve guides were sloppy because the heads had been surfaced and I never checked clearances. SO, now, I would like to...

Is anybody using this brand for a street/strip engine? Any specific likes/dislikes? Thanks! Bob

does anybody have these parts and a picture/description of them?There are none shown on the website;I want to be of what I am ordering before doing so.Thanks for any help you can give!Bob

In the mid-70's,before there were a whole bunch of good intake manifolds available for small blocks,people adapted sbChevy intakes to Mopars.S/M was the class that seemed to make this the norm.There was a SS/DI article about building a car for the various classes.Anybody have that info available...

Looking to do a forged crank,internal balance engine.SFI balancer and 10.5" steel flywheel(these parts are neutral balance).Rods would be H beams in std. length.What weight piston would be needed to keep it internally balanced w/o adding weights to the crank?Would each manufactor be...

When is considered time to replace them?When the engine was cheapy rebuild the first time,I installed new rod bolt nuts from the dealer.the engine leaked oil badly from the cam plug,so the engine only had 300 miles on it.It is now sitting apart waitting for it's next adventure.And if it is...
