Best thing to do if possible is to load the engine up and take it to the machine shop and let them get it out !if that option is possible,because they have the knowledge and tools and are going to save you time and headache. Personally a titanium bit is usually only coated on a bit and is going...

My understanding is they are basically all made at the same place in China! They are shipped here and then that is where they get the names! Scat ,Eagle etc just depends on who buys them.Then the company that buys them does the finished machine work to them.I have been told that eagle does a...

I put a set of new H beams in my 416 stroker and I certainly am not worried about them being too heavy. I used a set in my 396 chevelle engine and they have been GREAT in there. I think you are going the right way personally. I prefer a little overkill myself especially when it comes to engine...

When installing intake gaskets I always make sure heads and intake are "VERY CLEAN" I smear a real thin coat of RED silicone on the head area and install the gaskets,then I build up the ends with RTV silicone only no gaskets and let that set about 10 to 15 minutes.Then I smear a thin coat of...

It don't do any good Edelbrock says they will not make anymore! I would think if they can sell them why not make them and make some $$$$! I probably know a 100 people that would buy one for a grand or more! Hell I would take two of them for a grand each! I am making my own version of a crossram...

OK I have decided to paint my engine in my 69 Dart swinger BLUE! I want to get as close to as factory original as I can. Where is the best place to purchase the paint and or brand of paint to use. Anybody got any information on this I sure would appreciate it. Also what color would the...

I think I will just shop around for one that will fit correctly. Thanks Bobby

Thanks for the Help guys your knowledge is always a great benefit. I don't know what some of us would do without it. Thanks Bobby Dodson

Welcome newbie! Everyone has to start somewhere.I would say FIRST thing to do is try to get as many of the Specifications on the car as it is now from the owner. Such as Cam specifications,heads stock or worked on,type of intake, distributor type, type and size of carb,type of exhaust stock...

I ran across a add on e bay for a 2X4 intake manifold for a smallblock. During reading the description the seller states the manifold only fits like 64 -65 273 engines only. I thought all LA engines werebasically the same and heads,intakes etc would interchange. I do not understand what the...

I would take it to the machinist!Get his opinion.If he says you can mill it off then go for it.But it is still going to need line bored !

I use the Hughes stuff and it works GREAT! It is a little pricey but damn sure a lot cheaper than wiping out an engine or cam.As the ol saying goes you get what you pay for! Hughes engine oil tech article #207 is very informative.It can help you make some needed decisions.Like I always tell my...

I agree with the white lithium grease and a bag.Or you can use regular wheelbearing grease also but I prefer the white lithium myself! Whatever you do "DON'T USE WD40 ON THE PARTS!" Wouldn't hurt to maybe get a used dehumidifier and run it from time to time to cut down on the moisture in the...

Check out these guys! They are building me a little 416 stroker engine and are a nice bunch of guys to deal with! http://www.diamondbackengines.com/ Bobby

I am not sure what the max is but you have a little chip that is interchangeable and each chip represents what RPM you want to go to,4000,4500,5000,5500,6000,6500 and so on .

A rev limiter is still good to have on any HOT ROD! If you are planning to tun it a little!

I agree with Mullinax95,double the gaskets and use a little RED HIGH TEMP SILICONE to affix the gaskets together and a thin coat on the side that goes to the head and a thin coat on the side that goes to the header flange!

That is not a bad price if everything is in good working clean condition! I would say yes and add the rev limiter.

I am not sure but I don't think you can use a crank from a poly engine in a LA engine! Two different animals completely I think! Maybe someone with expertise will tell us for sure but I would guess that it will not interchange!

One thing to remember about using aftermarket distributors is IF YOU HAVEA PROBLEM PARTS ARE NOT READILY AVAILIABLE AT PARTS STORES! You have to order them.Just something to remember when on the road trip etc! To where you can usually get original parts replacements availiable in most places...

Sounds like oil leaking by the valve seals or guides! But if you have new heads they should be OK! Maybe you have too much Crankcase pressure and that is pushing the oil by the seals or guides slightly!Is the engine vented really well with PVC valves and breathers!

Also when you remove your rod bolt nuts,cut you some rubber tubing about 1" long that will slide and stay over the threaded rod bolt to prevent scratching the crank journals! I would not use a CUE TIP! The cotton will catch on any little burr and pull off in small pieces! Use a brush! Use a good...

Yea I also got one of them 318 engines that was REBUILT! .40 over pistons.30 over rods and .20 over mains.After we got the car almost completed! We put exhaust on it and it had an engine noise!Sounded like a main bearing so I decided to pull it out.My soninlaw and I pulled it out and tore it...

What do you guys consider to be the best small block mopar balancer on the market.I am ready to buy one for my 416 smallblock build up with internal balance.What are you guys running.This is going to be a street driven car and may see a track a couple of times just to see what it will turn but...

Crank it up at night time to see if you see any sparks jumping! also while running pull sparkplug wires off one at a time to see if the sound of the engine changes or starts missing on that cylinder you pull the wire off of! If you run across a cylinder that does not change the sound of the...

Royal Purple is good STUFF! It is made about 1/2 mile from where I live. A lot of people I know use it.I on the other hand I use Mobil 1 ,have been for years and no need o switch being they are about the same all the way around.All good synthetic blends are pricey.But worth the $$$ in the long run.

`I was reading an article where by using a stud kit it helps decrease crankshaft deflection due to the fact that it holds the main cap better in position than a regular bolt. I have not heard of having to have it linebored because you use a stud kit.I am actually having an engine built and am...

I had a cast iron intake powder coated aluminum color! It looked like crap after 3 months,from heat and gasoline from tuning on the carb and changing it out 3 times! I even had the intake redone! Yellowed and discolored just from heat! Unless they have some type of hytemp powder coating now I...

Ebay# 160071634170 and Ebay # 220069416082 Both of these are completed listings meaning they are not current,but neither item sold so I would think they may be still for sale.Contact the seller to see!you can contact the seller to see if they are going to relist them or what they want for...

I think that is called the long arm ram or something! They are cool looking but very old style.I am not sure how well they function but If it is cool looks you are going for then that will fit the bill.
