Any company out there that make an actual quality lifter anymore? I have had a set of brand name hyd. roller lifters in my car for 2 years and yesterday during a car cruise one desired to give up on me 2hrs away from home. These were supposed to be “performance” lifters. I’m kind of over the...

So I throwing around the idea of building a 5.2 magnum for my 65 valiant. I have a 273 from a 1967 barracuda I'd like to use but like the idea of a roller cam. I have a 4V intake from a 70 340 I'll be using. Question is should I drill my mag heads for the LA intake or buy a set of Chinese EQ...

I'll give you alittle run down of what I'm doing. Roughly 10 years ago I built an 87 D150 to sled pull, yes 2wd. A few years later I swapped in a 4x4 chassis and pulled in the SB street class with a mild 400. At that time the C.I. rules (412ci) allowed me to use my BB. Since then the class...

I bought an 86 Ram D150 a few weeks ago. It has a 318 roller/727 and 9.25 (sure grip) rear with 3.23 gears. I'm wanting to build it for low end torque and fuel economy. Plans are to use an Eddy Streetmaster intake (already have) and spreadbore carb. Also I'll be using early Magnum exhaust...

Pulled my plugs and to me they seem good but wanted opinions. What do you guys think? Any changes I should make?

My dads boss bought a storage trailer a few years back. He's a Ford guy and my dad is a Chevy guy. There were 2 mopar engines in the back on orange one blue. He thought they were BB but I went out and nope. Both were 1970 small blocks. One s 2bbl 318 the other a J headed 340. Both are...

Are there any downside to running Rotella 15w40 in my 408 magnum?

I'm building a 408 for my 4 door Aspen. The other night I was playing around with a compression calculator. My static compression came to 11.82:1 but with my cam my dynamic compression came to 7.42:1. Soooo would I technically need to run race fuel or would I be safe to run 93 pump gas?

This weekend I bought an Edelbrock Victor 340 intake. The intake itself is in super good condition. I paid less than half of what a new one is. Only big snag with it that I found is the thermostat housing has some pretty bad corrosion on the mounting surface. I took a die grinder to it in...

Ok guys on my 318 I ran a Weiand Stealth. Now I'm building a 408 and want to get opinions. Do I run the Stealth again on my 408 or run my Torker II? Or do I go a totally different route and get another intake? Opinions please!

Was watching an old episode of Horsepower on youtube and started scratching my head. They had shown how they had the block done up for the kit. When they get the block back it has factory main bolts in it. Then they show how they threw ARP bolts in their place??? Am I missing something?

I have read somewhere that EQ discontinued their magnum replacement heads? Upon searching I've seen Speedmaster and Promaxx have a replacement Magnum head. Does anyone know if they are all about the same castings? I'm trying to build a real LOW budget 360 for my pulling truck for next year...

Does anyone know if they make a press fit connecting rod for the 360? My machine shop wants $260 to redo mine plus add ARP bolts.

I'm getting ready to order new rod and main bearings. What's your take on king's bearings??

I bought a NOS set of 2380P pistons. I didn't get any papers on them. Can anyone tell me what size rings? I'm guessing 5/64, 5/64, 3/16 but would like to make 100% sure before I order

So after my teen ate its cam I found a Magnum 360. It's currently at the machine shop so I have some time on my hands. I'll be using the stock bottom end with new rings and bearings. My question is with a 125-150shot max what piston rings should I go with? Hastings has a set with a...

So im looking for best bang for the buck here. Im trying to figure out which setup is most cost effective and more durable. Currently im using a 5/16 -3/8 stud mounted PRW 1.6 roller rockers. I ended up breaking one of the studs. So im debating on getting my head drilled for a 3/8 -3/8 stud...

Hey guys awhile back I bought a set of EQ heads and threw them on my 77 LA 318. Over the past month ive been having problems. First off one of my rocker studs wiggled loose and i dropped a rocker and blew the lifter out of the bore. At first I thought it was a bad lifter (summit brand) but...

So im ka leaning away from the whole Hyd. Cam deal. Ive been looking for a comparable solid to my current hyd. The cam i have now works great in my car but I kinda want a solid. Whats your opinions on comparing the two? (Current) Summit - 1789 Basic Operating RPM Range:1,500-5,200 Intake...

This past weekend i took my Aspen out for a drive. I did a holeshot and when i went from 2nd to 3rd it started missing. Left outta it then realized I had no oil pressure. I jerked it off the road ASAP. I was thinking the worst at first then the miss came back to mind. Maybe a lifter...

Hey guys I've bought my first A Body Mopar. It's a 1965 Plymouth Valiant 4 door 3 speed car. I'm wanting to build a 318 that'll be a good Street Strip setup. I'm not worried about fuel economy, but would like it to run on pump gas. Looking for ideas. Please no 340, 360, or stroker comments

Ok guys this past weekend i swapped my eddy perf. Intake for a Weiand Stealth. I did do the gasket match on the stealth as i did also with the eddy. I bought a new QFT Slayer. I took the car around the block and it didnt do bad but had a stumble to it. So i took it back and hooked up my...

Ok guys i got the aspen running pretty good for the gearing and factory TQ converter. I have a Eddy 600 on it now, my 600 holley was a lemon. Ive tried everything to get it to run but it just wouldnt. Anyway i threw on the Eddy and got it running pretty decent. However i put the vacuum guage...

Ok guy got my car finished but now im having issues. My motor is a stock bottom 318 with the following: EQ heads Summit .454 lift cam Stage 2 mag springs Gasket matched eddy performer intake Street demon 625 carb Double roller timing gearset Stock manifolds Factory electronic ign. (Non lean...

Ok well kinda have a dilema with my intake. Awhile back i bought an eddy performer for my teen and its already mounted and realized the previous owner pluged all cooling passage holes on the base of the intake with pipe plugs and epoxy.(DUMB!!!). Not worried about all except the one where my...

Ok guys i bit the bullet and bought the EQ heads. My uncle has factory magnum heads on a junk yard engine (cracked block) so he said i can take whatever i needed from the heads. Before i desided to do the EQ head swap i bought a Summit cam/lifter kit along with mating springs. Questions i...

Hi guys! Tomorrow im going to be picking up a 77 Asen 318 4 door 18,000 original mile car. Im getting the car at a really good price for the age and shape its in. Im tryin to find the best bang for my buck performance adders. I know 340s and 360s are a better starting point but this things...

Hey guys just rebuilt my 360 again and i still have a woodpecker knock in my engine. I have a 1990 360 that i completely redone then after a few miles she started smokin. I tore it out to find that pistons 1 and 7 (KBs) had chunks outta them. I got it back together and after being easy on it...
