    Help with choosing heads

    I have a 331 stroker, solid lifters (don't go comp) XR268R cam and use the AFR 185's. I had AFR do the valve and spring upgrade though. More than enough head for the job.

    Knock Knock

    Hate to sound like a butthead, but give some info about your car, motor, tranny, any modifications from standard. It could be anything from bad gas to throwing a rod. Basically most(not all) of the stuff you add to gas is alcohol based. It's gonna mix with any moisture and then mix with...

    Any particular reason you didn't go with Opentrackers at about $169 ? (when I bought them) Does this style work better for the drags? Curiosity only.

    Flat cam lobe

    Pull the valve covers off, pull the plug wires off and bump the solonoid and watch the lifters. If you get one that's not moving---yep you flattened a lobe. Just been there and did that. What kind of cam, lifters, valve lash did you start with? Not that it means anything, but I ate a comp...

    how to install 302 v8

    D.Hearne hit most of the highlights, but here are a couple more. Some of the later roller blocks are not equipped with fuel pump eccentrics. You'll either need to run an electric fuel pump or have one installed. Also, you'll need to know the balance of the motor and the tooth count of the...

    questions about ebay 347 stroker kit

    How aggressive motor are you trying to build? Not a bad setup for a 350 to 450 HP setup. (IMO) I don't like cast (crank) for the higher HP's and they may be just fine. I'd question or research the KB pistons and where the 3rd ring intersects the wrist pin if at all. Some pistons have been...

    How much alignment typically needed w/Lakewood scattershield?

    I recently installed a Lakewood on my motor. (out of car) I needed the .007 dowels. I installed mine for a toploader and IIRC my manual called for .009. It took about an hour to do, but I don't think I'd like to do it installed in the car.

    Hot front brakes after open track session

    Brakes Do the SSBC's allow for the use of DOT 4? I wouldn't change unless knowing for sure. Ford has a DOT 3 that has a boiling point higher than nearly all but the most expensive fluids. (PL-?) I'll have to look for the number. I use it with good results. I'd definately flush the...

    How hard do you drive when you race?

    If you're in control you're not driving fast enough! :D "Parnelli Jones" IIRC Let your skill, tires and brakes be your guide, until something breaks; then make that piece better/stronger. Enjoy, have fun, and learn how to do it better, faster, safer; that's what it's about. :cheers:

    Hey Driveline Experts! I need your help

    First of all; it may be your drive shaft or not. I have 3 66's all with vibrations within a 10 mph range but different on each car. On one car it was the brake drums, one car I can't find the vibration and the other was the tires. I had all 3 drive shafts checked for balance and all were...

    Wheel weight touches UCA; different wheel weight or file?

    I have an opinion which may not be appreciated. Get new Wheels with the correct backspacing. I'd never grind on any suspension part as that's asking for catastrophic failure which could injure or kill you and others. I'd maybe try to find a 3/8 spacer but that's about as much as I'd go and I...
