So far, only a few miles driving around the neighborhood scaring the neighbors. This is a race car so it doesn't see much street action, except to drive to very close by car shows. It gets miserable mileage, (5 mpg on the race track), and uses $9.50 a gallon 110 leaded fuel....... This car...

Got the car fired up, and NO LEAKS! Happy days! :D

BTW, the seal I used was sold by Dvorak down in FL. It was $39, and was more expensive than the standard FelPro part. The 4 piece "kit" might be an issue, but I did use a tiny dab of copper RTV at the ends of the seal top and bottom halves, and between the seal and the two side pieces. BTW...

"Hey, what does that tube that travel across the valve covers do? Equalize the pressure on both sides of the block? " The tube that connects both valve covers together is a breather system, and it ventilates the block. I put together a video on the engine in the car about a year or so ago...

Pretty much finished getting the engine back in the old '66 fish vintage road racer on Friday, after the ordeal of replacing the leaky rear main seal. Also found a small crack in the oil pan, which is now tig welded back together again. What a bear, but hopefully worth it in the end. If the...

I already have the canton unit, (my first choice too), but it hits the headers. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Can anybody provide guidance on the block tapping conversion to use the two 3/8 NPT fittings for a remote filter/cooler install on a MP 340 small block? The two holes are so close to the edge of the filter lip there is no way that neither a straight nor a R/A AN-8 adapter will work without some...

OK, Small Blockers, maybe somebody here has a solution for me! A while ago I had a race 340 built for my Barracuda out of the modern 4 bolt main "Resto 340" MP block, and an early style forged crank. My builder told me that the early and later Mopar small blocks and cranks used different...

I am going to agree with Mad Dart, that looks like a severe case of detonation due to a severe lean condition. Better get that checked out after the engine is back together again, or it will be "de ja vu"!

Hey SB experts! I have my small block Barracuda race car that uses the old style 273 cast iron water pump (for the "as raced" look), stock (appearing) alt, and stock crank pulley. Because I rev this car up to 7,000 RPM for long periods of time I would like to add a second belt just between the...
