    408 Stroker Motor Build

    There's also a brace that goes across the lifter valley that helps too. I don't remember who makes it. It requires a little fab to the block. I've only seen one installed on TV though.

    408 Stroker Motor Build

    Another thing to think about. You said you were looking for 500-600 hp and maybe adding forced induction at a later date. Remember you are using a stock block. They can only handle so much. From what I'v heard late model blocks are only good for about 550 hp. With a main stud girdle and a lifter...

    289 intake mani on 302?

    I had a 289 performer on my 302 with no problems. I now have 351 heads on it and with 351 heads you have to plug the extra intake manifold bolt that the 302 doesn't use or it will dump water into the lifter valley. Just a though. What heads are on your motor?

    ? RE: track width w/ Wilwood disc brake conversion

    I don't know about anyone else, but the front track on my 69 is about an inch narrower then the rear. I would like to have them the same.

    How hard to repair idler arm frame bracket

    If it's rusted, there's a good chance it's rusted more than you can see. I have a 69 I'm restoring, I saw a little rust on the frame rails. Now that I've gotten everything out of the way I have found I need both frame rails, torque boxes and both shock towers. I'm not trying to scare you, but...

    Please help on compressor decision

    :rlaugh: :rlaugh: Been there done that. I was lucky as I only built my garage 2 years ago and I already had the compressor, so it was built into the plans. It has it's own 220 20amp breaker (it's an old 60 gal Black Max and needed 20amp). I put a 220 outlet in the wall and used a plug. I also...

    How to find TDC???

    You could also buy timing tape. That's what I did, makes it very easy to set timing. Only $3.95 from Summit http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=SUM%2D163594&N=700+%2D106059+115&autoview=sku

    aftermarket engine block questions

    1. I'm assuming the R302 would use Windsor heads and the Boss302 would use Cleveland heads. 2. 8.2 is production deck hight. 8.7 use a special intake (wider) and they are usually race intakes and very expensive.:nice:

    Cam Recomendation

    The power band for my cam is 3800 to 7200. But I really wouldn't go that big. For the combo you've listed I would go with something between 270 and 280 advetised duration that's around 220-230 @.050". A 270 will give you a power band around the 2000-6000 range. A 280 would be 2500-6500 range. A...

    Magnaflow or flowmaster???

    3" is loud. Thats what I used to have. I now have a 2.5" with an X-pipe but I still used the 3" muffler with 2.5" ends welded on it. And it's still ridiculously loud. But all the other 2.5's I heard are not as loud as mine.:banana:

    Dual Quad Intake Need help with Adjustments

    I always thought mine was from runing rich too. I ran around with a hesitation for probably 2 years. Then one day some one told me to get a set of jewlers hand drill bits and make the squirter larger. I went one size at a time and the hesitation got less and less. Until I went too far then I...
