    Piston slap

    Also, certain engine configurations necessitate the use of short skirted pistons which rock in the bores and "slap" can be quite audible at certain rpms.

    AJE (Anthony Jones Engineering) does, but you hafta use your stock lower arms (with the built in spring pocket) and then buy the upper spring perches. http://www.ajeracing.com/ http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=120554&prmenbr=361

    What's The Story With DexCool?

    I run dex in my '90 with the factory brass radiator and haven't had any problems. The car runs a little cooler too. You have to completely flush the green first though ... if someone mixed the two then (from what I've heard) they will sludge up.

    CAM help!

    I don't know what markings are on the 'E' cam, but the 2k6 would appear to be a manufacture date code. If you had a pair of calipers you could mic the lobes and arrive at conclusive specs to ensure the cam is an 'E'. Where, how, did you get the cam that makes you curious as to it's true...

    estimate this for me

    Yeah, the 165's are an awesome head. I actually considered going with them and a GT40 with the 'E' cam when I built my 331 (for emissions), but decided to go a little bigger and got the 185's and a XE266HR (it passes) If I was going to push air I would go with a lower compression 331 and a...

    Aeromotive AFPR user advice please??

    Ahhh, got ya :nice: It's a 3-bolt reg I bought, so I know it's for the fox fuel rail (2-bolt for SN's) Again I haven't tried putting it on my '90 yet, but it wouldn't fit on my SSP ... maybe the rail is bent a little or what not :shrug: I haven't poked around enough to see, just figured...

    estimate this for me

    One of "our" magazine companies ran a 165 and 185 comparison on a 347 with all other engine components being the same, and according to the mag, the 185's only made about 20 more on the engine dyno with torque being so close it was negligable. Porting the 165's would help a little if done on...

    estimate this for me

    185's are a way better match for street use. Victor Jr's flow more air than 185's ... so in that essence they are "better" ... but as far as driveability, the 185's on a 347 is a better choice. Street cars aren't about max power numbers, they are about having a broad power curve. My 331...

    bolt size for starter ground on passenger side of block

    My starters have always been grounded by the two bolts that mount it to the block. :shrug: Starter ground :scratch: It should be a standard U.S. thread pitch though and they are universally sized. (In case you aren't familiar with thread classifications) Example: 1/4-20UNC-2A x 3...
