    429 Stroker kits? Help me find them

    That's probably the best way to do it, Planomustang. I won't use CHP anymore for reasons listed. In addition, it seems that they don't know the difference in 351 block deck higths between the years. Ordered for a 69 block, and ended up having to cut down the pistons .020 to get .005 in the...

    Looking for some Headers!

    Hooker Comps don't hang down quite as low as the supercomps. I have been very happy with them for all the reasons you've listed. What heads are installed? Angled or straight plugs?

    What additive do I need when installing a traction loc?

    No additive needed with a Trac-Loc positraction. There's no clutches. Have fun.

    Bad valve sounds

    This is a hydraulic lifter camshaft right? Okay, 20 ft.lbs. is probably not enough to overcome the self-locking feature of the rocker nut. the rockers are probably loose. Back off the rocker arms one cylinder at a time with the piston at TDC on the compression stroke until they are very loose...

    head question adjustable or not?

    Use a stethescope(or your ear to a long screwdriver), and try and pinpoint the ticking noise. Is an area more pronounced than another? ALL the roller rockers I have ever seen, make some noise. They just do. As far as being adjustable-I'm not sure what you mean. All roller rockers are...

    Lots of cam/valvetrain questions, need advice.

    Once the cam is installed and the heads are on, use a roller lifter that has been made solid for tooling,(anybody you know have one? If not, you can make one easily), and get an adjustable pushrod(again, another tool), and mock it up on a cylinder. Set the length of the pushrod so that during...

    Power steering and wheel slop

    What you discribed is the sector shaft adjustment within the steering box. If it's only 3/4" out from the jamb nut, it's already been adjusted in quite a bit. This would indeed be indicative of a worn steering gearbox. How is the pitman arm on the power steeing control valve? Usually there is...

    Rough N Tumbly

    What's initial timing set at? Total timing? Are the plugs fouling? What color? Was the engine apart? Rebuilt? Just in storage? New or replaced carburetor? Load up when hot / cold / regardless of engine temp? Always check for: Dirty air filter dirty fuel filter water in fuel alternator...

    what is this doing to my motor??

    Yeah. Trans fluid is fine. Marvel Mystery oil, or something thin that will seep into everywhere along the ring lands.

    OK what is the best mod us year round Blower,super,Turbo?

    I feel that the 331 cid stroked small block is a much better base to supercharge. Of the 347s we've done, not too may of them last very long if they are punished. The rod ratio and piston speed get of the 347 doesn't take the pounding of boost as well and the rod bearings get hammered. The 331...

    OK what is the best mod us year round Blower,super,Turbo?

    Oh. I have to disagree. It's advantageous to scavenge past the exhaust seat as efficently as possible, without inducing the intake charge past the exhaust valve during valve overlap. Usually this is done by selection of a suitable camshaft lobe separation angle. I have not heard of impeading...
