    Ebay Distrbutors. Any thoughts/experience?

    Don't know about that specific model, but I've read on different forums very positive reviews on the HEI distributors from Davis. http://www.performancedistributors.com/ I think I've read where some of the cheaper ones are difficult to set your timing curve with. But just what I've read, no...

    Modern day vehicle quality

    All of you make some great points... I think it was just the accumulation of problems that coincidentally happened in a period of three or so months (and of course the issue with my sister and husband at the same time). That was a bummer. That was a funny quote by Ranger04: "I'm not...

    Modern day vehicle quality

    I know these vehicles are infinetly more complex in todays world... but man, they just aren't built very well. I know I'm not telling all of you anything you don't all ready know... but it can be pretty frustrating some times (and expensive). Case in point; my brother-in-law is at the...

    Engine questions (I need a new one)

    This is what I have so far The combo I have linked will run ~ 9.4:1 compression. This spreadsheet lists my targeted build; please let me know what you think I am missing (I tried pasting this into the thread, but it said it was too many characters). Engine_Build.xls Scott

    How much would you pay for this?

    A guy I know has a saying; "...if your not embarrassed by your offer, you gave too much..." But he is a cheapskate. That is an awful lot of rust for sure, unless you have a serious affection for that model year, I would pass. Scott

    Engine questions (I need a new one)

    LOL This process is going to take me a bit; my plan is to order the long block in next week to 10 days once my tax return is filed. But it may be the end of summer before my ole 289 gets yanked. She still runs to the grocery store (very strongly)... just drips a whole heck of a lot of oil...

    393 stroker CR help?

    I think he want's to know what numbers you used to come up with the 11.3:1 compression.

    Engine questions (I need a new one)

    Cool, that is the cam I've seen listed in a lot of builds. So, it would be better to go with the 58cc heads and the max quench, assuming clearence is within spec as you stated?

    Engine questions (I need a new one)

    Next round of questions Just got off the phone with Mike at DSS; I told him my story (that I want a street mannered sledge hammer - I'm sure he laughed on the inside). I want a low compression setup that will allow for a blower down the road (this will be a minimum of two years or more from...

    Performer Air-Gap versus RPM Air-Gap

    Bad marketing? I think it is a little confusing (to my pea brain) that they've had a prodcut called the Performer RPM Air-Gap and have now released a new product called the Performer Air-Gap. :notnice: My .02 cents... Thanks bnickel for pointing out that it is a cheby product and...

    Performer Air-Gap versus RPM Air-Gap

    Anyone got some feedback on the new Performer Air-Gap? I saw it on the Edelbrock website, but can't find an application for it on a Small Block Ford. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/mc/manifolds/manifolds_main.shtml Performer Air-Gap® & RPM Air-Gap® Manifolds This award-winning...

    Engine questions (I need a new one)

    Getting closer Right now I am still on the fence about the 331 or the 347; but leaning towards the 347. Looking at DSS, they obviously have some great long block options. Assuming I went with either the 331 or the 347 with the AFR 185's, which piston option makes the most sense from...

    Oil Pan?

    So what's the customary needs / requirements for the different oil pan capacities? When should a driver switch from a stock 5 qt to a 7 qt and then an 8 qt? Is it the number of RPM's your pulling? I'm sure a benefit is cooler oil temp... Scott

    Coil Spring Compressor

    No I've never been... how about you?

    Coil Spring Compressor

    It's pretty straight forward... you compress the spring with the tool you are talking about using a socket and extension. Once the spring comes out, you release the tension by loosening the bolt. You can see the spring compressor in the below picture (bottom right hand corner); they latch on...

    That's one of the things I really like about the article(s) from MM&FF... it describes the engine combo and why the heads work with that particular setup. It is a long read, but very detailed; exlained things I didn't understand before.
