Since there is no prefix option above, just know that this is a FEELER ad. I looked at the rules but didn't see anything against this type of thread, but I could have missed it. If I did, I appologize in advance. After the last race of the spring season (6/21, unless rescheduled due to...

Maybe a dumb question, but I'm wondering if I can run a magnum distributor on my carb'd 360. I'm running a MSD Programmable 6 that takes care of the timing curve so I don't need a distributor with mechanical advance. Would it work or am I just way off on this one?

Not an Abody, obviously, but maybe some of you guys can help me with persistant cooling problems ever since I put my car on the road. Not trying to write a novel here but I'm out of ideas. My first setup was a 22x19 (core alone is larger than old radiator) 2 core aluminum radiator with your...

Well, I went and let my ego get me into trouble again. Yup, good ole peer pressure at it's finest. So here's the skinny on the bet. Myself and a few other guys have all gone in on a fairly substantial pot to whoever can reach their goal first, in 1/4 mile et. A couple are shooting for 11's...

I don't know how many of you are aware of this movie but I'm pretty excited about it. I figured if I'm going to see it I might as well see if anyone else wants to go. http://www.snakeandmongoosemovie.com/ It's only showing at select theatres, but on 9/13 it's going to start showing at the AMC...

RX7 Ford V8 - YouTube Say the balancer had spun and you didn't know it or something like that. Could accidentally having waay too much timing once the mechanical advance kicks in cause the noise in the vid? It's not a mopar but I'm trying to help a kid with his first project (sbf powered...

I'm in the process of upgrading the cooling system in my car and I've run into a slight problem. The fan I'm trying to install is just too big. I've already trimmed the housing to the point where the blades are super close to the core and the radiator cannot go forward any more. The engine...

I've taken the first step in my turbo swap and sourced a Mopar M1 single plane intake (what a pita to find for a magnum btw), and will be installing it this week. To be honest I'm not too worried about losing a little hp/tq since I bracket race mostly, but I am curious what you guys think...

I noticed this yesterday. Since I recently got the car back on the road with a new radiator I didn't think much of it. I just poored some out and went out riding around for about 2 hours. When I got home I noticed the tank was completely full again and running over. This is a familiar...

I'm not sure if anyone is willing to make the trade, but thought I would ask anyway. My Edelbrock Air-Gap for you Mopar M1 single plane.

I wanted to get some opinions on this if I could. The problem I'm having is I keep breaking motor mounts, with the one I discovered tonight being the 4th. Even though I have a torque strap installed I keep breaking them for some reason. Obviously this is getting old, so I'm considering the...

Well, I'm pretty sure I've got a wiped cam, but by looking at the damage did I catch it soon enough to avoid having to pull the motor? The cam and lifter both appear to be just showing the signs. I couldn't get a good enough pic of the lobe, but it's showing signs very similar to the lifter...

Ok so here's the deal, and this is slightly embarrassing. For 3 years I haven't been able to figure out a tick that a buddy's 383 has been making. Seriously, 3 years, but we've made no progress at all in this time, so be warned this is a long read because this will be a lot of info. What's...

Hey got a quick question. I'm helping a buddy of mine with his 383 Cuda and am wondering what a good safe starting point would be timing wise. Specs are: -69 383 -Stock rotating assembly so not sure of compression but guessing less than 9:1. -Quick Fuel 750vs street carb -OOTB 440source heads...

Ok, so I've been trying everything I can think of to improve my tune to pick up 2 tenths to get me in the 11's. One of my buddies (who isn't a racer) is convinced my carb is too small and just won't let up about it. To him there is no way a 650 dp is big enough for even my mild 360, and...

Hopefully some of you guys can help me with a little problem I'm having. I went to the track on Friday to dial in my new combo, but no matter what I did I couldn't get the wot a/f ratios any richer than 13-13.5. I'm currently running 78 jets in the rear, but tried going up to 82 jets with no...

Hello, I've been doing some searching for the past several weeks for a shop to build my trans, but I'm not having much luck finding someone I'm confident in. It seems that nobody wants to tell me what exactly they'd do to the transmission to make it suitable for my application. I understand...

Ok, last weekend my stock rear differential grenaded during a wot 1-2 shift and I think it took the trans with it. It now makes weird noises and leaks when it never did before. Anyway, this gives me a chance to upgrade and I've decided to go with a 8.8 rear and A500 trans. The problem is...

I'm hoping this is a simple fix, but my 904 (999 actually) isn't quite what I expected after installing a TF-2 kit. Two issues: one that I consider a real problem, and the other is just a little annoying. Ok, so the first issue I'm having is a flare-up at the 2-3 shift. It happens whether...

Ok, so here's the deal. My buddy and I have been fighting this tick for way too long, and no matter what we do it just won't go away. Just keeps ticking and ticking and it's like the motor is just pointing at us and laughing. Here's couple videos we took today. We've been fighting...

Last night I went to a small local car meet for the first time in my little project car. For those who don't know it's an RX7 with a mild magnum 360. I parked away from everyone since my car was dirty, but almost as soon as I pulled in, a guy walked up and asked if it had a small block Ford in...

Got a minor problem. Spent the day upgrading my fuel system by installing a new fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. For those who don't know this is in a sbm swapped RX7. The problem is that the FPR will not regulate the fuel down past 7.5 psi, instead of the 6 psi I want. I'm thinking...

Well, where to start. I guess it'll be with a little background on my build. My project is an 86 Mazda RX7 that I've dumped the crappy old rotary for a nice mild 360 Magnum. The reason for this is simple, I want to go drag racing! Why? Well, I already had the engine (built for another...

Cliffs Notes: Cooling passages completely clogged in engine. I'll start with a little bit of history. I built this engine in early 2007 as a spare for a turbocharged Ramcharger I was tinkering with. It's nothing special, just a simple rebuilt magnum 360 with a small cam. It sat in my...

Ok so here's the deal. My buddy and I've been trying to figure this ticking noise out for over a year, on and off as we get frustrated. For the life of us we just can't figure out what it is. We upgraded the top-end and have had this problem since first start-up. The engine specs are as...

Hello, I'm planning on converting to a A500 later this spring and would like some input on what my best course of action would be. Currently I've got a LU 904 (completely stock including converter) behind my mild magnum-headed 360, but with 4.10 gears and 26" tall tires it's not very fun on the...

Hello, I was wondering if any of you knew if there was a height difference in the magnum and la truck oil pans. The reason I'm asking is because I'm working on putting a 360 magnum in an 86 RX7 (please don't flame me) and I'm not very happy with the way the oil pan hangs below the cross member...
