    finaly got something done..

    The engine is coming togheter step by step aswell, crank is back in the block and two pistons with rings aswell. I realy prefer to bring old blown up or worn out racengines to life over these engines ripped out of neglected dailydrivers. A worn out or blown up race engine is most of the time...

    The i made the final piece out of 1.2mm sheetmetal. Thats metric and im sure it can be converted into both fractions out of inches or decimalinches (in any of the comonly used flavours of inches,old Swedish inches,withworth or why not imperial) aswell as gauges but its probably ok this way to...

    finaly got something done..

    Got a few more things done, the 20 year old plastic fuelcell is probably not a good idea,so why not spend some more money and do the right thing the somewhat right way. The new fueltank has a a 3/8" outlet and a 5/16 return, aswell as a fuellevel sender,that will be a nice feature,im probably...

    This my friends is why we dont rip cars apart and then leave them taken apart for ten+ years unless everything is named. i have no idea where that part of the wiring harness is supposed to connect to but im sure it will become obvious at some point. found those cables in a box. who knows they...

    finaly got something done..

    Hammered in the new cam bearings,that seemed to work ok,all the holes are in the right place and even tried putting a camshaft in them and yes it does spinn with ease so i guess i did something somewhat right.. Also descided on measuring the main bearings and they will be reused,they are all at...

    finaly got something done..

    Ok back on track,unless something goes sideways i think i have a plan for the engine that is somewhat doable. Will use the better block with its heads,crankshaft,lifters and pistonrings. will use the complete set of pistons out of the worse core,they are all stamped with id numbers and i just...

    Brought home another 360 Magnum,this one came in the flavour better known as well done. Is the camshaft any better in this new specimen? well kind of but nope. Pistons then? well i did take a good look at two of them and i could not find any cracks in those two pieces so thats good since all i...

    went to a swapmeet today and found a brand new to me petronix distributor with a suitable coil for a somewhat tollerable sum of money in case the old system that was last used 15+ years ago has deleted on its functionality since last it was run.

    Got the 904 back from the transmissionshop,newly rebuilt with a few good upgrades,tested and ready to run:) Said 904 is back in the car,this time without atempting to create severe bodily and mental damage. Learnt that a cargostrap between the torsionbars is a great way to kind of secure the...

    Finaly got a "new" landyacht parked outside the house for daily driving. Im sure some cant apreciate a Ford but darn that 06 Crown vic LX sport with just some 110000 miles on the clock is a nice and comfortable driver and sticks out plenty around here!

    Carb intake choice

    Thats alright. I thought more about a comparison between a G3 Hemi and a LA or mag engine along the lines of ,expensive intake manifold but no need to buy new heads to make big power. its one of those deals where you pay alitle more in one end and alitle less in the other. Summit does have...

    Carb intake choice

    Is it realy all that expensive if you are about to build a real 450+hp smallblock from a core? The Hemi has serious heads,pretty good valvetrain and a pretty stable block from the factory.. yes ignition, intakes and headers will cost money but good parts cost money regardless and the G3 hemi...

    Got a nice deal on a 5.7Hemi out of 2012 Durango Months ago,have started dissasmbly of it and it appears as if the junkyards claim that its just a rebuildable core that cant be used as is due to a bad sound from one of the heads was just a severe exhaust leak:D o well got to have alitle luck...

    Damn good info

    LA engines are good for the intended purpose. Magnum engines are good for their intended purpose, dramaquens and clickbait is only fun for so long. If we have to compare the Magnum engines to a Chevy smallblock it would be the Vortech family. Want to compare a LS to a Mopar? Gen3 hemi is the...

    Disappointed with my engine

    check all the basics. Check what the real compression is. May not be a perfect combination of parts bu that thing should make a bunch more than 300 hp there is a whole heard of horses running free somewhere just waiting to be roped in.

    Clearance issues with new headers.

    untighten all the bolts on the passanger side motormount lift engine alitle,tighten them up again,that might give you just alitle more clearance by just using the tolerances, if not enough see if you can make a shim to fit betwen transmission and its mount.. still not enough? floorjack under...
