    What's the best way to find a dead cylinder?

    Exhaust manifold runner temp, check with heat gun or bottle of spray water.

    SBP mag slots, 14 or 15 to anything from 4 to 7?

    Back in the day the rears got wheels and tires first no matter what was on the front and the only thing that might have come before wide rears was air shocks. And it wasn’t uncommon to see aluminum slots at one end and cragars at the other or any other wheel.

    How much HP...again

    About ten years ago I ran a new small block small less than 300 cid.on the dyno I made approximately 15 pulls on it most optimizing three different carbs, I tested a 600dp, 750dp and a 850 dp race carb off one of my 440s. I also tested the K&N stub stack on the 600 because it still retain the...

    **600hp sbm block limit? Or is it bs!!**

    I think the type of power adder, who built the engine, tuner and who is running it all make a difference on how much power a block can handle. I’ve known guys that can’t keep a 400hp combo from splattering up the track and I’ve got a friend that ran a Fox Mustang in a stock block class, that’s...

    How much would you spend on it?

    I’d cannibalize it for parts but really, it’s not worth much.

    Maybe I've learned a good lesson . . .

    The OP was the one that brought up a 440.

    Maybe I've learned a good lesson . . .

    Spend the same money on a 440 that you spend on a 318 to make 400hp and you will have a 550 hp 440. Just say’n.

    How to get 400 hp out of 1971 340 .30 over

    This 340 needs more cam and a 750 carb, that thing should be pulling like a M’Fr at 6000-6500.

    Poll: Do traction bars help out Mopar leaf springs or not

    It depends on how much power you have and do have slicks on the strip. I’ve gotten wheel hop at the strip with slicks so I fabricated a set using the lower shock mount plate going forward to the spring eye. A mild 440, 500hp? in a 67 Abody running 1.40 sixty foot times. It makes a difference if...

    Superbowl LVIII

    It’s kind of funny that my son and grandson are football junkies, have their teams, vikings and Green Bay me personally, I couldn’t care hoot about football. My grandson has lived with me for the last 11 years and I’ve always picked a team that he couldn’t stand or was opposing his just to jazz...

    Who has had good experiences with the Brawler series of carburetors?

    The guys that dyno my junk use a quick fuel carb to start and break in the cam. On my Ford Windsor project there 750 QF carb made five hp more than my 750 Holley so I wouldn’t hesitate.

    Why the 727 explodes!

    Today it’s easy to make power and slap it in your car but something Ive seen is guys don’t upgrade the rest of the car for the new power. That’s no upgraded brakes, rear differential, or transmission they just dropped 10k, for a new 500” low deck to replace the 383 so no money left for much...
