Best comment ever on FABO!!!!!

https://mgispeedware.com/camshaft-calculator/

I hope you post them when you do them.

When I saw this thread, I PM'd Tim, 318willrun. I see he tried calling too.

My wife and I met there 32 years ago!

I am subscribed. I missed a screaming deal on a dist. machine recently. It was only about 15 miles from the house. It was an Allen machine.

Would you have a link to the videos? Thanks.

A lot of us on fabo had these mopars for first cars, they are really simple and actually fun to work on. With some basic knowledge, you will do fine. I like to keep things like water pumps, master cylinders, alternator brushes etc (common parts) here at home rather than have to order and wait.

I thought you were gonna say "Build my own car", but then it dawned on me that in ain't 1980 anymore.

On their FB site, their sbc version is $880 + shipping from Australia

Looking at their FB page, this is a mock up before making an aluminum casting. https://www.facebook.com/PerformancePrototyping

3D printed prototype for a new sbm manifold. It is sitting on Indy heads, so I would assume W2 bolt pattern.

You ain't kidding, but I was broke. We could use one too we have 20 acres with 15 of it woods.

A year or so back there was a big wood chipper for sale on marketplace that was 318 powered. I wish i'd had the money for it. edit: I had the perfect name for it.. 318woodchip...

I am definitely not a chevy guy, but I sure like this!

I am glad you stuck with it. Very nice results.

We just did ours, but I almost forgot the tractor.

Intake gaskets. Did you reuse the valley pan?

A set of used Procomp small block heads that were opened up in the bowl so big that I had to go to 2.08 valves. That snowballed into plugging the pushrod holes and using w2 rockers and finding a w2 intake and....a LOT of work..

Passenger side airbag??

Thanks Van! And you too Tim!

You know, actually if he has a cam core he might be better off calling Oregon Camshaft and getting a regrind. 2 of my sons did that on their 1st motor builds. I am sure it would help with the young man's budget. For the OP : Cam Grinding, Camshafts, Racing & Performance Equipment,

Maybe you could ask friends who are car guys if they know anyone with a guide cutter. Look around for used headers and intakes etc. Mostly have fun building it with your son. I have three sons, and they are all into mopars. I can't tell you all the good times wev'e had.

Are the oil holes in the lifters all pointed towards the valley? If not they will tend to bleed down and be loud.

The motor also sits a little farther forward in these Sweptlines than in the later trucks. I do have room to go back about 3/4". I don't know if it is worth it though. I would need to make mounts for motor and trans, plus probably shorten the drive shaft.

Very nice truck! Thanks what size tires? Thanks

I have a set of slicks to mount, but would also like to get enough traction to not feel like I'm on ice. Chip and seal roads also don't help. I'd like to get a decent setup before going to the strip, which will unfortunately probably be spring of 2025.

A lot to think about, thanks. One problem is the lack of travel with the solid axle leaf spring setup on the front. I only have 2 3/4" of rise before the front tires come off the ground. I did move to the lower holes on the bars, but it has rained every day off and on since. I also removed the...

My son runs .575 lift with stock magnum rockers. He has used it daily for work over 4 years with no problems. No need to change to chevy rockers. We did cut the guides, used Hughes retainers, and lunati springs #73949.
