he's gonna johnny cash up his magical fantastical warmed over 318. monday was intake and a carb, today pistons, on friday he'll sneak out the transmission and block in his buddy's mobile home. one piece at a time. a 318 worth at least 100 grand!

feed any hypereutectic a whole bunch of detonation and it won't matter a good gat-dang what your ring gap is.

solid choice is always a 3/4 race cam baby! pays the money and ride the lightning! all kidding aside, that set up will run well with a fairly broad range of cams from pleasantly stout to fairly wild (if the heads are set up for that amount of lift). personally i'd aim more toward street and...

in my travels, i recall seeing a very very original and complete "new car package" or, basically what was given to the new owner, like all the dealer key chain and mopar propaganda promo materials and other such bits n' bobs. amongst that stuff was a small package of wastebin bags that were...

*barfs in mouth a little*

i think it's a little waste bin. i want to say they were optional or a dealer kick in on some early 70's cars?

especially with chevy rods and pistons! :p

he has no working speedo/odo, using gps/google maps

which are basically a truck with an enclosed bed.

transverse bars? those are only in the deep dark woods of FMJ stuff the spool mount came in 73 with the front suspension redesign, but everything essentially remained the same, just with a little more room all around (redesigned centerlink).

because 360's are low rpm truck motors, duh. big strong mains more important in truck with granny 4spd

ounces add up to pounds. you do enough of the little stuff and reap bigger rewards. say running the smaller smaller journal lets you run a smaller bearing, that heats less, which means you can run it harder, longer or at a higher rpm without failure and it has less parasitic loss. it might be...

quadruple double whammy check all your grounds. tight and clean enough to eat off of, baby!

that's a super bummer. i've been quite pleased with anything i've ever bought that you designed and i'd love if there was more trick small block stuff. but i understand completely. make a $60 alternator kit and everybody bitches about about it and then wind up paying $40 for some shitty repop...

well, there's part of the problem.

pfft! that's the next guy's problem! ship it!

you hit on something very important here: breaking even isn't the same as making money! as an exercise say, 3K price point on a 340 block you'd have to sell 100 to break even at your initial 300K investment. and what's the ROI time wise? 18mo? two years? there's better, faster money to be made...

or as i like to say: the tale of how to turn an afternoon project into a two day love affair that costs several hundred dollars and leaves the stink of gear oil around for weeks.

time served isn't necessarily an indication of knowledge or expertise.

stranger things have happened... i once installed a rear for a guy. he'd just dropped it off, said it was out of his other car and had lube in it, ready to go. what he failed to mention was that he "topped it up" while it was in the back of his pickup. the outcome was about what you would...

is it possible that you overfilled it?

if he's rolling 1/2"-20 threaded bits he'll want 65 feets poundages

SBF aftermarket blocks are like 3K so if we extrapolate the data and let pricing history guide us, the aftermarket would grace us with 4500 repop 340 blocks. bonus if they made them in under 4" bore so us 318 guys could reuse our pistons. anyway, what's a R3 or ritter block run? like 3~4K? i...

that's like the cam selector equation: choose the cam you want and then go down at least one size, and more likely two is gonna be where you should end up.

talkin' she fell out the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. her and Tall John got married after he got out of state and had a bunch of them half-n-half babies-- half short, half ugly.

look, alls i know is that the law states you can drink while underway in an RV as long as you're behind the sink. which begs the question: can you mount the sink to the dashboard?

you can. it's a chunk of change, tho.

have you priced machine work lately? and lead times?? i don't know where you are, but in my neck of the woods it's pricey and the lead time is tremendous. anyway for the type of work you're describing, you'd be in aftermarket head territory-- or darn near.

if none of that pans out, shoot me a PM. i have one, but shipping is gonna be a chunk of change and might kill the deal.

fastest thing you ever drove for the first 800ft or so!
