Well, I am getting petty perturbed with everything! Just got word that the camshaft I was expecting any time doesn’t even have a blank assigned.  Nothing against the person or the suggestions from here, but this really has me frustrated.  I was all geared up for the roller cam, had it speced...

It seems to be more about the force to push to the left far enough.   Should that be a light force, or fairly heavy? Kcmash 

Is there a good way to bench test the original style competition plus shifter? Since my power train is out I decided to freshen up some linkages and bushings.  The shifter on the shelf was a lot tighter than the one I had been using.  With the tranny on the floor I can't get it into reverse. ...

Repainted my Cast Iron Bell Housing. Sent an email to ask on Camshaft order status.

I had a fun shot this summer before trashing my engine.

Here is the damaged piston #6

I had a similar failure last year.   I suggest talking with NPD or whoever you bought them through.  NPD replaced mine after I showed them the incorrect crimp.     I have an aftermarket high pressure hose that uses a “quilted “ crimp pattern,  meaning there are radial and axial components to...

Well, you never want to warp your metal.  So Pinhole allowance is a function of welding skill.  There are tons of fillers, epoxies, and skim coats that can fill in most anything.  What you don’t want is the filler popping out or separating for any reason.  On the floor pans, you need the welding...

Yep, budge is going to be a constraint considering the unexpected career change I am facing.  As everyone has noted, the intake is pretty easy to swap in the grand scheme of things.  I have just been confused on the whole setup since this is an area I have never designed in before.  I can’t...

QUESTION of the day. I have the original straight bore cast iron 4v intake,  and the Edelbrock 2665 Aluminum LB 4v dual plane intake both in hand. There is a lot of advice on intakes out there.  I am thinking of trying the Edelbrock this time.  I have the 3:25 gears, quench heads, 2.19/1.71...

My advice.  Be sure to drill all the holes needed for the Honeycomb panel and trim  before finishing.  My car and a few others got painted without those holes being drilled. Additionally, I have found that the lower end of the repopulate taillight panels has a series of holes across the bottom...

Well, I think I found the true source of the failure.  Into the confessional of stupidity I go my friends. Today I noticed something a little off when looking at the engine and heads.  It appeared that the water jackets had quite a bit of rust in the heads.  When I looked closer I found that...

Wow!  That is unbelievable.  Yes, I believe these were stock valves.  When I bought the parts with these heads they were stated to be NOS Boss Heads.  But the fact that you lost #6 exhaust also is totally uncanny! I have never seen a failure like this on any original Clevelands, and me and my...

Kevin, What did you determine to be the cause of the failure?  Did the valve just fail, or do you think you had something else trigger it.  I am wondering if the cylinder wall started to fail first.  I mean this engine was only 1000 miles old.

OK gang, here we go with the horror film.  Enjoy if you can bear to watch!

I agree that the rocker paint is kinda a must do  with the hockey stick stripes.  The Bold wide 73 Mach stripe can have non painted rockers and still look fine to me. I have the hockey sticks and rocker paint.  I like the way everyone compliments how the car looks fast while sitting still...

So if you do a stroker rotating assembly, do you need a custom balancer and flywheel if going manual, or will a stock flywheel be balanced properly? Kcmash

I used one from Phoenix graphics and it went on fine.  ( I put the NOS one on crooked, so I had to replace the deck lid stripe) Kcmash
