Friend of mine is working on a 429 Ford, the block was re machined and in his garage, I told him to keep a good coat of oil on everything to prevent rust, but I guess with the changing temps and his in heated garage it got surface rust in the bores, Wd-40 and a rag won’t take it off, so maybe a...

running Hughes rockers, solid roller, PAC springs [email protected] 580lb open I threw in the old smith brother pushrod and at zero lash the adjuster has about 3 1/2-4 threads showing. I know they say around 1.5 threads is optimal but what do y'all think? Are a new set of pushrods in my future?

dont know if you guys saw this, but they gained 90+ up and 40 lb of torque from port work on a 408. Pretty neat!

ive been out driving my dart for a few days now getting things worked out, the one thing I haven't got yet. from a stop or a slight roll in 1st if you hit it, it takes off great and runs very strong, but once you hit 5k the motor seems like it just comes to life, the best way to describe it is...

my new fire core distributor from Mancini got here today, overall it's a very nice pics, quality looks and feels great. took me about 5 min to pull the plate off and lock it out, the diameter of the cap is a good bit smaller than the msd which is nice for clearance. I'm very happy with it and...

I got a new windage tray to go on my 383, It is the moulded style, I see it only has louvers or drains on one side of the tray, is this sufficient or should I add a few more? And if so where should I add them. Thanks

i have a valley cover id like to use with separate intake gaskets rather than the valley tray commonly used, hughes engines details the assembly with factory heads and with the cover and heads in place you seal the intake gasket to the tray with a bead of sealer the length of the gasket which...

Well after only about 100 miles #6 exhaust lobe is gone on my .590 cam. Car ran fine but decided to pull the valve covers to adjust lash and found the lash cap laying in the head, so I got it back in and adjusted all the valves and sure enough that rocker barley lifts the valve. Break in went...

So my uncle called me today and said he's thinking of buying a set of trick flow heads, his motor currently has a set of stage 6 heads that flow [email protected] lift. I just don't think he will gain much performance switching to trick flows that don't flow much more air, any comments?
