I'm curious if anyone runs (or has tried to run) 1.7 rockers on their low deck big block with Edelbrock RPM heads. Are there any push rod clearance issues? I'd imagine it would require some clearancing, but figured I'd ask in hopes someone out there has tried this combo.

Is there an "up" and "down" to steel shim head gaskets? I other words, do the ridges need to be oriented a certain way (up/down)? Thanks!

What do you guys with stroked big blocks run for ignition? HEI, MSD, or? I'm acquiring parts for my 470 build and am trying to decide on an ignition. My 4-pin GM HEI seems to work well on my SB, but the features that some of the MSD and similar boxes provide seem attractive as well. What do...

At what point do you think it's worth running a mid plate with solid motor mounts? I've got a front and mid plate currently in my big block 66 Dart, but will be eliminating the front plate and making solid motor mounts in order to save some space up front. I'm trying to determine if it's...

Does this pickup look like one for use with a 187/699 pan??? Is there any way to identify it for sure? I can't fund any numbers on it or anything. Thanks guys!

I popped the heads off an old 400 I got from a buddy of mine. This is just a stocker I plan to use to get my 66 Dart back on the road while I finish the hotrod motor (470). Under the passenger side head, there were some metal chips in one of the small water passages (I believe it's a cooling...

Does anyone happen to have any photos of the underside of their A bodies with Pro Parts headers? I'm getting ready to build a set of Pro Parts-esque headers for my 66 Dart w/ mid plate and am just fishing for ideas. Anything helps. Thanks!!!
