I think I will install the intake and carb and get it running again. I don't have most of the interior but did rebuild the dash including heater core and cleaned and painted all vent tubes. I may still sale it but maybe I will get more invigorated to work on it. One of the reasons I was going...

I dont have to sell it and I'm not 100% sure I want to sale it but it needs more time and money than I have or want to spend.  I'm thinking about taking the money I get out of it and putting it towards a finished or nearly finished car.  Below is a link to my car on craigslist.  What do you...

1972 Q code Mach 1

Why????

Brent Lykins, Lykins Motorsports www.lykinsmotorsports.com

I was afraid you guys were going to say this.  I really wanted to have a roller cam and having this one made it a little more affordable.  I may still go roller cam but it will knock the completion time back since I have to buy a cam now.  I could do a piston swap but by the time I buy pistons...

The motor was rebuilt by the PO so not sure what is in it other than a very mild cam.  I am just guessing they are stock pistons right now.  If they are stock pistons is there a way to raise my compression ratio?  Im trying real hard to use this cam sense I got it from another forum member and...

Since I have decided against building a 460 I am going to sale some parts.  What should I list this cam for? 460 Chet Herbert cam h6h. 258/270 exhaust. 685 intake 683 exhaust. Solid roller. 108 lobe Center.  Matching springs.

I have a 72 351 CJ motor that I am assuming right now it has stock pistons in it.  Note that I am going to confirm the pistons when I pull the heads to have them machined for studs.  I will also do the clay check method for checking.  Right now I just want to get a rough idea if the cam that I...

Your harness powers the gauge then since the circuit board is no longer used?

Does the gauge have a wire on the back of the cluster powering it or does it get its signal through the circuit board?  Anyone have a pic of the back of the cluster showing the connection?

The valves are $180 so I should just keep the stock ones?     For the springs should I just give the machinist the cam specs and let him get the springs retainers, etc?  Or should I at least buy the springs that comp recommends and bring those and let the builder supply everything else?

Yes I know another question about what I should do with my heads but I want to see what you guys think before I start buying parts for the heads and taking them to the machine shop.  Here is what I am planning on doing.  Is anything over kill and not needed? Matching springs to the roller...

My wife did buy this for me for Christmas.  I am going to order the more aggressive drum and the wire drum before I start since I have a lot of heavy surface rust that has pitted pretty bad in some areas.   I want to remove as much of the paint as possible since I am doing a complete color...

How do you apply Rust Mort or other inhibitors to the outside surface?   Does it brush on and then you just primer\sealer over it? Does it dry on and then you was the panel before primer\sealer? What brands other than Rust Mort do you recommend? I will have to do the whole car after I sand...

I will ask the question on the forum and see what they say.  I just assumed it was because the lifters sit up higher with that "dog bone".

I asked for one of these for Christmas.  Not sure if I got it or not. https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-contour-sct.html .  Ive got a lot of heavy surface rust to get off and I am running through DA disks too fast not to mention it is taking too long to get a nice smooth surface.  I have watched...

Was just over at the 351 Cleveland forum and most do not use them and it turns out they dont work with roller cams.  Since I will be running a roller I guess thats my answer. Thanks for the info guys!

I pulled the cast iron intake manifold off and am replacing it with an edelbrock intake.  I have noticed that the replacement intake gasket sets do not come with a new lifter valley pan.  Do I reuse the one that was on it?  Do I reuse the pan at all???  The reason I ask whether or not to use the...
