    PNW Slant 6 engine rebuilder?

    Go to the /6 site and look up Reed. There's a couple others in that area but they haven't been active lately/ they used to "live" on that site.

    Intake Manifold Gasket Recommendations

    I just bought a set of victor reinz 360 style ones (not the stamped tin 318-2bbl style ones) yesterday. Rock auto has them in their "clearance" section I think they're like $8.something a set. Used to use alot more victor than fel pro mostly because that's what my old go to parts store carried...

    Head gasket question

    Been wanting to get other stuff from RA anyhow which I just did to "water down" the shipping cost, so I'll have 2 full sets of the marine ones. I looked up the standard fel pro head gaskets there and price wise these marine ones are only a couple of bucks more than the standard fel pros...

    4.2 lever change

    I just did a 46RE, surprised it originally had a 2.5. I was surprised they went that low. . someone here sent me (I think it was)a 3.2 Maybe a 3.8? I was thinking about a 3.8 or a 4.2. but a 3.2 even I would think would be noticeable, being a factor of 1/3 more than the original one was...

    What torque convertor do I use?

    In an application like that I think you'd be happier with a 727

    Jacob’s ignition testing. Thanks to Newbomb Turk….

    I've had a few of those and liked how they ran. The last one I had I bought off of a guy that's on the /6 site and it ended up in my attic for a few years and when I went to try and use it, it was dead as a brick. It ended up in the trash. I've been kicking myself ever since I let the 2 that I...

    Advance springs

    I took a shot in the dark and struck out I bought some advance springs (weren't advertised as "Mopar" but for a much older Ford) but as long as the length is alright and the tension is what I want I don't care what brand they were originally "made for". I bought them specifically because the...

    Head gasket question

    Well that went bust. The seller that made me the offer of $30 when their original price was $40 now "can't find" the HG that started me asking... I bought a matching one from another seller, I'll have to hit up RA for $18 "clearance" for the other one... Hopefully the other stuff I've been...

    How much power will a stock 904 handle

    Yeah. B 200 and 300 means 70s.back then I believe all the band had 727s. My b250 was an 87. 3/4 ton 5 lug 9-1/4 rear. Window van. 904. My dad had an 86 b250 conversion at the same time and his was 8-1/4 rear. Also 904 ( or 998/999 maybe) Around that time I was seeing a lot of b vans with 8-1/4s.

    Head gasket question

    Arrrgh Trying to get more info on these gaskets and had a hit from rock auto, figures I could have gotten them cheaper there, but with added RA shipping and these having free shipping the difference between them isn't that bad.... Still would have been cheaper at RA though.

    Head gasket question

    I never said I "had to have" them, I wasn't thinking that way originally but they just kind of came up, more of a curiosity than anything. The head and cam swap are happening no matter what, I just saw what might be an opportunity to somehow make the swap better... This car sits more than...

    Head gasket question

    This destined for a 318 What's the difference between the fel pro 17050 "marine" head gaskets and the regular "car" ones? I know fel pro also has a "heavy duty" head gasket version too. Somehow the "9898" part number ( actually spec'd for the 360 I believe) comes to mind. Daily driver, small...

    42RH in 68 Dart advice/request

    When I rebuilt the 42re version of the a500 in the 99 Dakota I used to have I replaced the front servo and the accumulator while it was out. I basically pulled it out to just "fix the problem" and put it back in, I never pulled the planetaries or sun gear, rear drum and band out while I had it...

    Valve body rebuild

    I've seen replacement seperate plates available. Sonnax I believe has stock ones. I know that back in the 80s when I did my 1st shift kit I chose a B&M and it came with one that was slightly modified but it's been too long ago to remember exactly how. Id also check with trans parts suppliers...

    How much power will a stock 904 handle

    Plus a fresh converter, never want to rebuild a trans and put the old converter back in. And any upgrades you're wanting to add ... And that $100-125 kit doesn't include bands.... When I did my first auto trans, the kits used to come with a front band.

    Valve body cracked? Can't say I've seen/heard of that one before. Worn out bores where the valves ride? Wrongly modified? Parts lost? Oh yeah.

    Electronic ignition upgrade.

    And I get tired of people dissing 318s simply because they're 318s. You have a 37k mile 318? Where can I come over and pick it up? I've swapped more 360s out in favor of a 318 than the other way around...

    How much power will a stock 904 handle

    A related question to the original question of this post that I've (tried) to ask and can never seem to get a good answer for is how much power does a 904 consume to run as compared to say an 833, 833od, a 727, and/or an a500 with everything else being equal?
