    Power for a slant

    The part number in the book is 3423562, but that wont be the casting number. I have 2 Pacers, so I may have to pull a valve cover to find the casting number.

    Power for a slant

    Yes, the VF Pacer had the same cam as the 160hp, more compression, and a larger exhaust. The head was a different part number to the 145 hp and the 160 hp. The pistons are the same part number for all.

    62 valiant /6 turbo build

    About 25 years ago a friend turbo'd a Holden 202 six. It used the standard radiator and was fine. You would only be in boost for 10 or 15 seconds at a time, and the other times it was like running a stock engine.

    Has anyone painted their car with rollers

    The Valiant Regal in my avatar was painted (sprayed) in cheap acrylic in 2004, didn't even use primer. Total cost was about $350. It's shabby now, but is in the weather most of the time, and doesn't really get looked after. I am going to paint it again soon, will do the dings a bit better...

    4bbl

    Something to keep in mind. A 600 Holley 4 barrel (1850) and a 350 Holley 2 barrel (7448) have the same size throttle bores. A 350 works quite well on a 225, therefore, the 600 should too. If the secondaries are not required, they wont open. I have a 600 on a Clifford Hyper Pak, with...

    where do you guys stand on this idea?

    The aussie 245 and 265 will fit under the bonnet (hood :P) of an A body, so the 4.0 Jeep should.( The black '70 Valiant in my avatar has a 265, and the same hood height as a 69 Dart) I can see lots of good points for it, most have been mentioned. A turbo, EFI, 5 speed, 4.0 in a '67 -'69...

    Why are 318's low HP and torque?

    Same problem here, a 360 rebuilder hard to find and expensive.

    273 2bbl turn into Commando or is 318 better?

    Trying to remember what Todd told me, but from memory it was weld on a lug then drill and tap 3 bolt holes. If you are not in a big hurry, I can check, as I have a 4 speed in storage, and a slant 3 speed bell housing. It's just they are about 100 km away. I have been wondering much the same as...

    273 2bbl turn into Commando or is 318 better?

    340's are too hard to find and therefore too expensive here. 318's are easier to get pistons etc than a 273 If the slant is in good condition, a 2 barrel, exhaust, and electronic ignition. Use a 4 speed from a VH onwards, they will fit the standard bell housing with mods. Will be nice to...

    Cyl sidewall wear with a 416

    I just love the way people say something can't be done, because they haven't been able to. Then I really love the looks on their faces when someone shows them it can be done.
