I angled milled a Hi-po drivers side manifold just a few degrees and it fit a 400 in a NARROW 65! The only reason you need to do this is to get the steering shaft to clear the manifold. In a 67 or newer I don't think this is even needed. This was after I shimmed the mounts as far over to the...

My 400/451 was cammed by my friend so I dont know what he ended up with, IIRC it was a "Monster Motors" grind from some cam company, ~.600 [email protected] on 1.6 rockers. My intake was on the small side, a flat 383 Street Dominator for my heads, had to fit under the hood.

at one time I thought I read the paper was when you were reusing them as the original crush would be lost after the first use. Then the paper was to be used on Iron to AL to compensate for the different heat expansion. 351C 's used the same type of bathtub gasket and all I ran on those was...

That looks forged to me as the bearing fillets are not undercut like the cast ones. For the 1/2 price it may be a deal if you got the supporting hardware. http://www.adperformance.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_115_226&products_id=994

First time I blipped the gas on my 451 65 "A" rolling into a left turn at an intersection, the end swung out and I just stayed on it to complete the 360 donut I the middle of the intersection. Glad it was a big one and the guy behind me saw me losing it so he just faded back and watched the...

That TB is not unlike the modern units , only lacking the integrated MAP and TPS. If you MSx it, document your tune. A few of us could use the motivation.

Ask whitepunk. Aka Uncle Tony......

Id love to see some before and after dyno or drag runs after that 'fix' Seems like there is always a better way to do something but then there is the production cost and durability, etc.

Pull 'em in dry. There is a lot of force being used and I don't think KY is gonna make a lick 'a difference.

hard block em!

400;s had different rod/stroke ratios, maybe more side loading? It WAS the largest bore offered.

I bought an Eagle cast stroker crank and when I put the first main cap on, I tried to turn the crank and it was locked up solid. Checked the cap, it wasnt even seated. Pulled the cap and looked at the bearings, found the crank was FORGED and had fillet radii onthe mains and the bearings were not...

the B used smaller ball pushrods in the early years. you can change lifters or return the pushrods. ...'68 and later are 5/16" both ends, the '67 and earlier are 5/16" top and 1/4" bottom... pre 68 'small ball' lifters Comp - 824-16 Eaton/SBI - VL8 Johnson - A-812 Federal Mogul - HT1812

"...Always refer to the rod and piston maker’s specifications. But generally, a press-fit pin requires a .0005- to .0009-in. interference fit between the wrist pin and rod small end..." Performance Perspectives: Connecting Rod Inspection | MOTOR I hate press fit pins...:-(

Any AL is better than 50 year old cast for improvements. Do your homework and check your **** when you get it.

No saner words spoken!

They get welded on all the time, just a few tacks then a few more. Just not a long hot warping bead. Could potentially do it in the car with the flex plate holding the new tab in place if you dont have the time or height to pull the trans. Remember these are balanced so any crazy sized lug or...

fit my 451 in my 65 A too!

Street Dominators are pretty flat.

were all the bearings installed properly, ie cam bearings lined up? all galley plugs installed? That's bad news.....

Look at the thickness of the piston walls! BEEFY!

Can mount magnum logs backwards too for turbo hot side help. Everything ends up in the front..watch your belts

Copper builds up the flawed rod id so it can be machined again to a std bearing insert OD or side clearance. It's just a cheap attempt to save a flawed rod. Works.

big block....noted. :-)

more like 270, or back it up 90. You just want the #3 piston in the raised position.

If the distributor is in and it ran, just look to the rotor position. If not, remove all the plugs and turn the crank by hand with your thumb over the #1 spark plug hole, when it starts to push air, youll know its on the compression stroke. You can put a popsicle stick in there and watch it rise...

iirc 35ft/lbs is spec'd but ITS WRONG! Use more like 17 ft/lbs. Dont go crazy. TDC is either both valves are closed or both are on their ramps. There are 2 TDC's in the 4 stroke. It can be noted by the keyway in the crank shaft (points right up #1 crank throw) if you can get bolt out and put a...

Wonder how they do cooling in a billet head? Perhaps its not relevant in a drag motor.

necropost: found some pics of my Streetmasters B/RB into an early A motor mounts. Solid mounts, not too bad on the fillings....

The Street Dominator fit the 451 under my 65 A's hood!
