    347 Stroker, How to verify?

    Just ask him to tell you who built the engine and when. Call and verify what he says and if he can't at least show you a receipt from the rotating assembly or machine work I wouldn't believe him. Unless of course he claims he bought the car with the 347 already in it.... I personally always...

    New engine problems

    Just the fact that you had the engine in a stick car before and now in an auto car could be the reason you say it is bogging. An auto car is not going to have that snap of a stick car unless it's properly set up. Most AOD's are really sluggish unless you pick up a lentech, PA, Dynamic..etc...

    You might want to check your fuel pressure and maybe take a few pounds of pressure off of it and see if it helps your rich problem some also.

    hot or cold plug?

    Autolite #25 is the stock heat range for E7 heads. Only if you are running forced induction or a power adder would I change the heat range to a colder plug. A higher number plug is hotter and a lower number plug is colder.

    Paint for stock valve covers??

    That's how I did these. Was it real humid when you painted them? Sometimes humidity will affect how paint adheres. I know I have seen paint do some weird things when it's hot and humid outside. Luckily we have a paint booth at one of our shops that I can use for future paint projects.

    Paint for stock valve covers??

    Did you prep the wheels? I sanded the valve covers to bare aluminum. Then primered them and sanded them smooth again. Then I sprayed the paint on them. Then followed up with the clear coat. They never once peeled or flaked on me and I removed them several times before I sold the car. I...

    Paint for stock valve covers??

    I used a silver metallic Dupli-Color paint that Advance Auto sells that is for wheels. It worked extremely well since it is for wheels that have to deal with high heat and brake dust. Then I followed it up with the Dupli-Color engine enamel clear coat. I put over 50,000 miles on the car and...

    I ran those times with both 27x10.50 ET Streets and BFG 275/60/15 Drag Radials. The car was useless with regular radials on it. I only tried it once with regular tires and it would spin when I pulled 4th gear so other than it being fun spinning they were basically useless so I put the drag...

    car cover / paint question

    Are car covers a worthwhile investment for cars being kept outside? I was about to buy a cover for my coupe that stays outside so I was worried about the moisture getting trapped in the cover and causing mildew.

    Shift Points & Max. Timing?

    I honestly wouldn't try anything over 15 degrees for fearing the risk of detonation. I used to always run my N/A engines with 14 degrees of advance or lock the timing out to a total of 32-36 degrees and I always ran with 93 octane. With that engine you should be able to run in the 12's pretty...

    I had a N-91 in my old 331 and it worked extremely well. Pulled hard from about 3,500 to 7,600rpms. It was in a daily driven street car that went consistent 11.20's at 125mph N/A. I have also used a B-31 in a blown 306 application and that seemed to work flawless as well. I switched from an...
