    New 331 is in the car but I have a fan problem.

    The radiator is as far forward as it will go. The front of it touches the radiator support. I've considered using a Contour fan but I am not sure I like to look of them. They would certantly handle the air flow needs but I am not sure I would be happy with the way it would mount on the...

    New 331 is in the car but I have a fan problem.

    I have my new 331 in the car but I have some clearance problems with my electric fan/radiator. I am using a Meziere 55 gph pump with an idler pulley but the idler sticks out further than my old setup. I am going to have to get a different setup. I will get a larger radiator since my current...

    Anyone with Steeroids and a Cobra T-pan, 302/351?

    On the old engine I used a stock oil pan. The new engine will have a t pan but a generic version. The pans look identical in the back and I am sure it will not cause a problem. I have no idea about a Cobra pan. I assume they are the same in the back portion as a stocker or the one I am using.

    Supercharger Questions

    If you decide to upgrade your fuel pump let me know. I have a TRex Vortech pump that has been feeding my blown 302 with a little over 400 at the wheels for the past 1000 miles. I am selling it because I had to jump up to an Aeromotive A1000 to feed my new big breathing blown 331. PM if you...

    new 331 build need some help with cam selection.

    I just ordered a cam from Jay and it was a bit expensive but should be worth it. I have already purchased 2 cams and did not like the results. I figure it is better to have a guy that knows what the hell he is doing (I don't when it comes to cam selection) make me what I need. Give it another...

    AFR 165 heads on older shortblock

    I have a set of AFR 165's with Pedestal rocker part #1472 IIRC. They work on my roller shortblock with stock pistons and a cam with .521 lift just fine. The intake gasket is in fact a 1250 and the cc's are 61 for pedestal heads. Great heads, you will like them. They have worked well for me...

    How the flark did I miss THIS???

    It would be very hard to patch those panels because of the texture. Do not fill with bondo!!!! If it were me I would look for a couple new/used doors. Check out craigslist in your area or place a want add on criaglist. I've had good luck with that approach for these types of parts.

    I've decided to put a 331 in my car and have a question.

    Very fitting though. Red car that is missing half of it (convertible). Maybe I'll name her "Christine". :D

    I've decided to put a 331 in my car and have a question.

    I ordered .040 pistons today. I decided it was better to be safe than sorry. I guess I'll be rolling with a 333 under the hood instead of a 331. I had the same thoughts as 10secondgoal on this topic.

    I've decided to put a 331 in my car and have a question.

    Well I had my engine builder look over the block but he said that it was bored 4.032 rather than 4.030. He said that it would be a little too loose for his preference and suggested taking it over to .040. I thought why not do a big bore and go 4.125 to give me 347 cubes but that would not...

    You can always put some of that 3M clear bra on the lower section of the car to help with reducing rock chips. That is one of my winter projects.

    Rack and Pinion Options

    I am using a Steeroids kit and like it. There is some loss in turning radius but nothing that effects how I can drive the car. Parking takes a little more planning.

    Methanol/Water Injection - Anyone using it?

    That is a good ideas to be able to turn down the boost on a turbo application. I just don't think it would be possible to do so on a blower since it is driven from the crank speed. I suppose you could be using a BOV or something to do it with a blown application. I should look into it. I...

    Methanol/Water Injection - Anyone using it?

    Since I am redoing my engine I've decided that I wanted to add some sort of inter/after/chemical cooler to my blower setup. I just got a pretty good deal on a Snow Performance Stage 2 Methanol Injection kit. Is anyone using one right now? How do you like it? How long will a 1 gallon tank...

    Victor Jr's too big for a street car?

    I sent Jay a request for a custom cam for my combo. Thanks for the advice. I purchased the heads on a bit of an impulse so I hope Jay feels they will work. If I need to go bigger cubic inches I can also return my crank since I got it locally and go with a 363 big bore stroker if needed. I...
