So I'm not to happy with my comp cam and have been looking at a different choice and I'm highly considering the whiplash cam. I called Hughes and they said they would recommend using the 340/360 cam since I have 10:1 compression and aluminum heads. Has anyone used this cam and how did it...

I just bought a champion radiator and shroud and was hoping to stick with my mechanical fan so I was wondering if I bought one of the mr gasket 20" universal shroud and bolted it to my champion shroud would it be able to pull good air? Even though the 20" shroud only goes halfway around the fan...

When I feel like having a little fun and start cruising in 1st around 3000-3500 rpm and floor it, it seems to take a sec before really picking up but if I'm cruising in 2nd or 3rd then drop it in 1st and floor it she screams with no hesitation. Why would it do this? My only guess would be the...

So I have a 1405 that I feel I finally got pretty close to perfect when cruising and flooring it. But it still burns rich at idle, which makes it begin to eventually build up when sitting in traffic for a while, then blows black smoke the first time I floor it but doesn't blow any smoke the...

Just out of curiosity I was wondering if there are any companies out there that make a mini blower and intake manifold package for small block mopars? Or is it possible to buy just an intake and use a Chevy mini blower or are they different? Thanks -Kory

The gasket between my oil filter adapter and block started leaking so I took it all apart and cleaned the surfaces and will be putting it back together with a new gasket today when I get off work. So I was just wondering if you guys recommend using gasket sealant on that gasket or if its better...

So I've been doing a lot of thinking and I might just bite the bullet and do a 408 build but I just had a few concerns but my main one; is can I just simply take a 360 block (obviously after being bored and shop prepped) and drop in a 408 rotating assembly? I know the basics to building but will...

So long story short. I have a mildly built up 318 (10:1 comp, eddy heads air gap intake, comp 275deh cam around .484 lift so not huge) anyways, I was running a 600 cfm eddy carb, then went to a 670 street avenger and loved it, then sold it and while waiting to get my 650 electric choke dp, for...

I just noticed the other day that my rear passenger intake manifold bolt is seeping coolant. The intake gasket is only about 3 months old and when i last changed it i used the printoseal felpro style. I know it's possible it could be the problem but wanted to hear what you guys think. Thanks -kory

I was looking at getting a new cam but it says it requires a 2800 stall and I currently am running a 2300 stall. I was just wondering what would happen if I ran the cam with my stall? Thanks -kory

I have began to save for a rebuild but would like to keep it as close to $2000 as possible. So as of now I have a 318 that runs great but I would like to have a little more power. It has quite a bit done to it including eddy heads. So long story short would I see pretty much the same hp numbers...

I was just wondering if I have to do anything to my carb to run 110 octane fuel, or can I just pour it in and go? I have the 670 Holley Avenger. Thanks -Kory

I just put my Holley street avenger on and it runs great but it idles a little weird. When in drive it idles fine around 700, but as soon as I put it in park the rpms jump to about 1200 then slowly work there way down to the normal 900 rpm range but it will continue to fluctuate. It sounds like...

so im gonna be installing one of comps mutha thumpr cam and was wondering what is the proper way of installing it? I have installed quite a few cams before but always installed them by just lining up the "o" marks on the cam gear and crank gear. Is there a better way of istalling a cam? and has...

so yesterday I went out and started my car and it fired right up as usual but i noticed my volts were lower than usual (about 11.5), but it drove around fine all day. Than today I went out and again it fired right up but the volts were down to about 10. as I drove around they dropped even more...

I recently added the edelbrock rpm heads to my 318 with keith black pistons putting the engine right around 9.8:1 compression. but I only had the performer intake so I had to use it until I could come up with enough cash to get the rpm air gap intake. So I was just curious if anyone out there...

I was just wondering what the lift would be on my motor if I used a 1.6 ratio rocker? my cam is a comp cams 275 DEH cam and has .462 lift on intake and .482 on exhaust. Thanks -Kory

I think im gonna finally give up on getting my edelbrock to stop burning so rich cause I have tried everything but from what i have heard and read, holley's seem to be a much better carb for performance, plus its the one the engine master guys used when building there 400hp 318 which is what i...

I just ordered my edelbrock rpm heads for my 318 which i have rebuilt with the kb pistons so with the heads it should put my compression ratio around 9.5:1. I was just wondering what others think of these heads. Anyone install em and if so did you notice a good gain in power? or did you have any...

So where to begin. I did the 318 build out of the Engine Master magazine where the used Kieth Black pistons with closed chambered 360 heads and with a few other things made just over 400 hp. Well I was short on cash and had to use a set of higher cc open chamber 360 heads. The motor has ran...

My motor is only about a year old but has been blowing a bluish black smoke when its cold. After she warms up I dont see any smoke at all except for a little bit of black smoke when I floor it, because she burns pretty rich. It seems like it started doing it more often than before once I put my...

So I am forever giving up on Edelbrock carbs! I have a 318 with 360 heads that was running great with my old eddy 600 cfm carb, but when it started running like crap while cold and due to how crummy it looked on a brand new motor I decided to purchase a brand new carb but the exact same one...

Hey everyone, I was reading an article about Edelbrock carbs, and in the article they were talking about how the carbs love idle timing, but not to go crazy with a lot of total timing. So although this might be a dumb question, How do I change my timing at idle, without changing my total timing...

I was having a few problems with my 1406 eddy carb but it still ran really well once it warmed up, but I finally gave in and bought the 650 cfm thunder series carb and it runs a lot smoother, but when I floor it, it stumbles real bad until I take my foot off the gas and punch it again and then...

I have noticed that when I floor my car it puts out a very small amount of blue smoke which of course is that dreaded oil in the cylinders! I have never noticed any blue smoke when starting it or when just cruising around, its only when i floor it. The motor is only about a year old. It's a 318...

Today my girlfriend and I were on our way back from the river, and while on the freeway my car began to sputter. I quickly realized it only would do it when accelerating over 2400-2500 RPM. I figured it was something to do with spark so I replaced the wires, cap, and rotor. I didn't replace the...

I have a 318 with 360 heads with the keith black pistons etc. It runs really good now thanks to many people on here, and thought it would be cool to some day put a side mounted supercharger on it. Just wondering if anyone out there has done anything like that, and how it turned out? Pics would...

I have a 318 with 360 heads that runs great, but when I floor it, at about 5 grand I start to hear a slight rattling. I dont think its pinging, because once when the gas station attendant accidentally put regular in, as soon as it was under load at around 3 grand it would run like crap and ping...

So I finally figured out why my oil pressure was 8-10 at idle, and why when I put it in park the RPM's would go to almost 1300-1400! When I rebuilt my 318 with the 360 heads I purchased a new set of Mopar valve covers and since they came with the oil fill caps, thats what I used other than on...

I finished my 318 with 360 head build a couple months ago, and the only thing I've been some what worried about is how much my oil pressure drops when it warms up. When I first start it in the morning the pressure is around 60 psi, but after sitting in traffic a little while it drops to about 10...
