Most of the extra width of the 15x7 in the front is to the inside. It should fit with a moderate sized tire. A 14x6 should fit easier, but I would avoid 14"tires if possible. I seriously doubt a 15x10 will fit with that backspace. It would need more like 5.5 " bs. The 15x8 will fit much better...

741 pinion shaft is straight, same size as the threads for the pinion yoke 742 has a shoulder at the pinion yoke threads, and has a larger shaft. 489 has a funnel-shaped tapered shaft.

Agree. That 4-bolt plate looks like a smallblock chevy fp mounting plate (not a blockoff). No idea why it was used as a spacer, unless the pump being used was wrong too.

I'd carry a spare as close to the rear tire height as I could. If it's a little off, I'd still use it on the rear if I had to, and get the tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible, with as little driving on the miss-match as I could. BUT..... (Axle speed differences occur CONSTANTLY when...

NT, I've still got a very low-use gold box sitting on my shelf. Still willing to give it a look? And the timing light example is a good one. Basically, ignore the numbers, and set the timing in YOUR car, with YOUR light, where it runs best. (At least that's the way i read it).

Imo...... All the tuning suggestions will slow the car a bit, here and there. But the o.p. wants to slow the car from low 10s (10.20 or so?) to 10.90. I would figure out how to make the stop the o.p. has, in post#9, work. Most consistent, easiest way to kill a substantial amount of time...

Might have to "adjust" the headers a bit.... or modify the pan sump. (I'm assuming the triangular sump pan. You can use a hammer and drift on the headers, if you need to spread the headers you could use a ratchet strap or come-along tied to a tree. I had to modify the front corner of a milodon...

Do everything in your 1st post.... and disconnect the secondaries. OR.... I used a bolt throttle stop that I made, but the stops in #9 and #10 will definitely work. (When I disconnected my secondary on a 800dp, I only lost about two tenths, but that was enough. Got me out of the nines so I...

Well, they did it again. On the way in from morning play session, collecting the balls to put em away, the ball I get from cudabug (Cuda) is completely destroyed, 1/3 to 1/2 of it missing. Pour out the peroxide, AGAIN! Poor Cudabug, takes his dose, pukes a couple times..... nothing. He was...

Looks like a Dodge red ram to me too. Could measure from one plug to another to get an idea of bore centers, rough idea of displacement. Meaning: small, heavy, weak. Fun motor for a t-bucket, or no-hood 32Ford, but that's all I'd use it for.

I have respect for 318s, basically a 327 equivalent that never got any factory hiperf parts. Hence, no reputation. Since I personally wouldn't "build" a 318, I'd be more interested in the 390 build. But since stock stroke seems to be winning, I will certainly tune in to see the results. (To...

Well then, tell em it's a 6 liter (.030 over 360) lol.

For your stated use, it will be just fine. Tell em it's a 340.

I wonder how many stops/detours/delays will happen now? I will say that the custom 9"center I bought from them on black friday came sooner than I expected, and arrived within minutes of when the shipper said it would.

Wow! I hope you bought several pairs. That's a bunch of waiting for one lousy pair of heads!

I'd bet walmart has the cheapest tires around. Their house brand version of Goodyear (can't remember the name, I'll find it) Edit: Douglas. Got a pair on the front of my 62. (Only skinnies I could find on short notice, when I needed a pair for a race) No complaints.

I'd clearance the k-member for pan removal (or deeper area in front of sump), THEN weld it up.

There's a guy on the B side with a 3rd gen charger that has won several times in his stick-only class. I'll find his handle and get back...... Edit: padam is his handle . Paul Adam I believe. I think he runs regular brackets too.

Irish girls say they're magically delicious!

When I wanted to try my welded-up tarantula on my maxwedge head motor, I found it was easier for me to just buy a sheet of gasket material and cut my own intake gaskets from scratch. ( due to the fact that the portmatch on the tm7 was garbage, but I didn't want to go bigger.

We're your heads CNC ported, or hand ported by IMM? I didn't know they had a cnc machine. (I wonder if he has a program for big block mopar heads [Victor maxwedge])

It makes about $12/gal difference. Lol

A 275 MIGHT fit on the PERFECT rim. A 4.25 backspace cragar isn't it. (Assuming a 15x8 or 8 1/2) 235 or 245 would be a better guess.

I had a MO block 68 Z28 302 engine. I was offered a straight across trade for a pan to carbs 426 max. Needless to say, I made that trade. I bought a 62 Savoy from GTX John to put it in. It went a best of 11.11/122 about 30 years ago. (4000 converter and 4.56s) Still have both. Same wheels...

I've got three pairs of wheels with screw holes (two pair of cl, 15x12 and 15x14, one pair of ramcharger steelies) with no screws installed (yet!) . None of them leak air Just make sure the inside of the holes against the bead are smooth and de-burred, before mounting tires. If I was worried...

@A body , that was your car I saw at Vegas yesterday wasn't it? And didn't you forget Irwindale on your closed list?

.... but isn't Famoso right down the road? And famoso is 150 miles from my house. Hardly a replacement for Irwindale or Fontana (Both WERE under a half hour away.)

Santa Maria was before my time, (and santa maria was too far away) as was "the old San Gabe" a strip in San Gabriel about five miles from where I grew up. (Rosemead, home town of Mickey Thompson) The Palmdale track was LACR, Los Angeles County Raceway. At one time it was my closest track...

The port layout of a small chevy and a small mopar are very similar. I think a big block mopar to small block mopar might be tougher. I went to a car show this morning, saw a Studebaker Lark gasser with a bbc swapped in. I asked the owner which headers he used (if he remembered) and he said he...

I'd leave the u-bolt over the axle housing, and then put a few nuts on the u-bolt (no shock plate yet) and squeeze it to the dimension you need. A vise if you have one unmounted, or a quality c-clamp. I would not modify the shock plate. Comparing the bad one to a good one is a great idea.
