For what? I’ve driven stock 318’s a lot of miles. They’re good engines. Just a small bore 340 with anemic factory breathing. Once I start buying aftermarket parts though things need to make sense. Bore size is to important to overlook when you start bolting on good flowing heads. Kind of the...

Torque storm is hardly a serious supercharger. And if it’s something that’s going to make real boost power a factory Chrysler block shouldn’t even be on the build sheet. IMO

I don’t understand the mind set of building a small bore block. Bigger the bore means less shrouding of the valves and equates to better air flow. Air flow makes power. Which if you’re building a stoker you’re after power. Also a little math helps justify it as well. If the engine is expected to...

Dual plane crowd is usually worried about buying lawn chairs and used 318 parts, not new $400 intake manifolds.. :lol:

Agree, it’s a pile of ****. Just seems to be across the board anymore.

Most intakes seem to generally need some work out of the box. Is what it is. Get the grinder out and crack a cold one! And come to think of it my six pack was really bad as well. My last Indy My extremely expensive Barton CR

I made one with a k frame

Good news is slant six’s don’t seem to have a cam eating problem…:lol:

I have a comp solid I had custom ground and nitrided for my roadrunner. I opted for Howard’s edm lifters. Just didn’t have a warm and fuzzy about the comp lifters. Probably would have been fine with the comps, who knows anymore. Been going strong for 6 years now. The groove down the side of the...

Warm it up and let it rip, what do you think happens on a dyno..

painted this one in 2016

Eastwood with a spray gun

Why bother. Modern seals work much better. I did this for a living, I wouldn’t put a rope seal in an engine if you paid me extra.. and I have been taught how to install them. Makes no sense with modern technology

hard to say, I’ve modified it a few different times experimenting with it. I’d say I probably have 3-4 hours in it. Working on the area under the carbs really made it happy on the big motor. I haven’t ran it at the track though since that mod. I’m not a put something on a car and leave it alone...

granted I haven’t ran any healthy small blocks but I’ve had the SB intakes. I didn’t think they looked all the bad. Certainly I would do some serious grinding on one before running it but, I just don’t see it being a blow out. But I suppose I’d be willing to go above and beyond If that was the...

you can daily drive about any carb if it’s properly set up and you have enough engine. Keep in mind most 950’s are a 1.45 Venturi and actually smaller than an old 850 sporting a 1.56 Venturi. I daily drove a dominator for a bit. Granted I did several mods to it to get rid of the inherently fat...

please elaborate why it’s different

Actually that’s not BS. They can and they do in the right hands. I have a six pack that will run as good as most any single plane and 4150 carb. I’ve done it and ran about every combo on the car. This is on a high 10sec b body street car with a 500ci motor. About the only thing that’s been a bit...

I order all my ball/cups from trend. Super easy process..

I’d recommend a dry sump…

summit racing

I ran a tray with mine.

829’s work real well in unbushed blocks. Everything else seems like a crap shoot depending on base circle, max lobe lift, & block tolerances.

I run milodns in my hemi. Work fine! They will wear out every few years like any bronze gear.

I used Eastwood on my last build also, shot it with a gun. It also matches their powder coat, that’s what’s on the intake and water pump.

I always run sintered bronze filters. Those seem to be about the best filter for holleys. You can either run them in the bowls (if you have dual feed bowls) or buy an after market inline like an earls.

I see a lot of opinions. That's great and all but how many of these opinions are coming from guys who have built engines, ported heads, and have ran their combos on a Dyno after doing their own work. I'm sure it's a small percentage. Unfortunately when building an engine there can be a bit of...

Looks to be giving up a bit early. I think your on the right track with knocking the cam back a few degrees and maybe a bigger carb. Are you jetting for A/F? That's just a tool, I would jet it until it looses power than back it off. Also carb spacers (can sometimes) do wonders, it may be what...

Chevy's arn't usually that bad, you'll have a few here or there. The ford blocks are about the best. Now all the newer stuff is great. No matter who makes it. Of course if you looked at the ratio of chevs and fords I've machined to mopars it isn't real good statistics.

Drill the holes (in the bellhousing), grind them, whatever it take to get the bell housing centered. Then you weld these half circle guides on the bell housing over the locating holes while it's centered and tight on the engine. I had to do this on my hemi's bell housing. Pretty simple, mine was...
