The #5 intake valve on my W2 headed 340 is ticking pretty loudly. I did a compression test a while ago and the #5 cylinder was the weakest by about 30 psi. Oil pressure is good, 60 lbs at start up, goes to about 40 psi when warm. Lash is set to .026" warm. I had it a little tighter before but...

You guys who port your own heads - do you get your valve job done before you start grinding? If so, why? I might be answering my own question here because I am planning to get a set of heads cut for larger valves. But just for discussions' sake, I'd like to hear a general consensus on this...

I have my eye on a set of heads for sale locally, however they're covered in surface rust. What's the best way to get rid of surface rust? Machine shop hot tank? Wire brush? Thanks for any input. - Greg

Anyone using a Proform electronic distributor? They have a good rep for carb bodies but I never knew they sold distributors. They're economically priced so I wonder where they're made. Regardless, it's probably better performing than a 40-year old single point. See part description here...

I know there is a post about this somewhere but was unable to find it. My manifold swap post got me thinking (at the suggestion of a few others too) that just putting a 4bbl manifold and carb on a car with a stock 318 2bbl .380 lift cam is not going to do much, if anything for performance and...

Anyone know what goes into a SS/GT car (Lebaron/Daytona/Sebring etc.) 3184 engine? These cars run pretty well. Yes, they're tube chassis but still use a 318. Just trying to find out what makes these things tick and what goes into them. Thanks.

Looking at combos - I currently have a 318 in my Dart. I'm considering the 390 because I might like to use my existing block instead of searching for a 360. Without getting into what parts I should use, here's my theoretical question: is 1.25 hp/c.i. an achievable figure from an N/A stroker...
