    modified long tubes?

    Nice! I like that idea. 3 inch V-bands are common on Diesel exhaust so they wouldn't be hard to sorce. Do you stay 3" all the way? or do you reduce with 3.0 to 2.5? What about where the mid pipe joins the cat back pipes, what do you do there?

    modified long tubes?

    I have to ask if anyone with long tube headers has cut off the cone/inverted flare connection to opt for a slip on or in connection from header collector to mid pipe? This seems logical because the inverted cone is reduced to 2.25"outlet from a 3" collector and 2.25 seems to be restrictive in...

    408W head opinion...plz help

    There's nothing wrong with Windsor sr. heads as long as you go in and clean them up a little. They respond very well to a bowl blend and some valve guide boss tapering, mine picked up 20 cfm+ @ almost every lift including a good valve job. Now 277 cfm at .600

    Blown head gasket symptoms

    Sometimes even a compression test won't tell you anything unless the engine is expanded to operating temp. Try using a radiator leak testing gauge, the type you pump up to detect a coolant leak (stant etc.) just put it on your radiator without pumping it up and start and run your engine for a 5...

    5.0 or 5.8? bang for buck!

    Then just build a 347 and be done with it if 400 engine HP is your goal. P.S., there is NO "cheapest route". Whatever you do will cost more than you anticipated and there are many hidden costs. If you're real patient/persistent/diligent you can buy many items N.O.S, or used etc.. for example, I...

    Canton oilpan ???

    22mm x 1.5mm drain plug ($4 from most parts stores) is how I fixed my leaky level sensor, clean all the surfaces, apply thread sealer/RTV to the threads, tape the switch wire to the loom so it doesn't ground out, put the oil back in the motor and you're done...problem solved.:rolleyes: Nice...

    Fox Cast Valve Covers with Vortech

    I also use Fox body GT valve covers and when I was assembling everything I realized they don't fit because of the oil fill tube interfered with the intake pipe. So, I got everything out of the way, heated the tube with a mapp gas tourch, stuck a pipe inside the tube and while it was glowing red...

    BAHHHH Set back... Head bolt issue

    Locktite liquid thread sealer #30534? comes in a 4 oz. bottle with applicator brush, this is what I have used for years without any failures as long as every thing is clean and oil free. Outer headbolts only on sbf's and every headbolt on Chevy's. You'll need to lower the level of coolant a lot...

    Mystery Machine's rebuild thread

    Fox body valve covers on a `94-`95 GT? I did the same thing but found out the oil filler tube was interfering with the cold air pipe so I heated it up and stuck a piece pipe in it and bent it out of the way, ruined the powder coat paint, oh well.

    Long vs. Short! headers...that is

    What advantage does a long tube header have over an equal lenth shorty? Is it worthwhile in terms of gains in a 331 stroker with HCI? Better with X or H pipe? better with Cats or without? thanks.:shrug:
