    Destroked Small Block?

    Locomotions' explanation of why people destroked engines is spot on. In 79 some friends ran a Camaro in C/SM that had to weigh 10 pounds per inch. They had a .030 over 302 which is 305, they got a different crank to take it down to 295 inchs so they lost 100 pounds which helped. Ran 6:50 gears...

    Harmonic balancer install

    You won't find a good quality 3/4-16 threaded rod at the hardware store, they probably won't have 3/4-16 at all. You will have to go to a bolt supply house for the good stuff.

    Harmonic balancer install

    Instead of using the balancer bolt to pull it in and maybe screwing up the threads, go to a fastener supply store and get a piece of high quality threaded rod, a quality nut to go with it and some heavy washers. If you really want to splurge on it, get a thrust bearing as well. By doing that...

    360 bore

    If it has a sharp ridge at the top of the cylinder that's where the most wear will be, right below the ridge. That is the area that would be the last to clean up on an overbore.

    Intake manifold height

    Does anyone know what the height of a stock cast iron thermoquad manifold is and how it compares heightwise with an Edelbrock Performer? I'm starting to plan an engine buildup and I want to make sure that it will fit under the hood. I have a 340 I want to put in my 67 Cuda. I also have one of...
