    DOGS

    The only dog of my three that I would trust at a dog park.... can't go. He's deaf, and if he's not looking at me I can't call him back. And frankly, even if he WAS looking, I don't know if he'd ignore me. And he gets so excited when he sees his leash for either a walkie or a ride in the truck...

    906 heads, aluminium heads, 452 heads

    I think the 452's is the right answer for you. If you really want aluminum heads (they'll make more power than stock 452's, for sure) I'd revert to the 440 source stealth. In your research, study which heads have raised exhaust ports. Would be a nightmare for your situation.

    Oh my... another Magnum 500 thread... (sigh)

    Avoid Coker redlines like the clap. Get em from Diamondback.

    What is the smallest car you have owned?

    One of the guys I worked with had a Subaru 360 (cc's!) A weak man or a strong wind could tip it on its side. Edit: it was under a thousand pounds, exempt from the safety regs. I had a Kawasaki 1300 that weighed about the same.

    What is the smallest car you have owned?

    Smallest........ and fastest. Red one is almost as small, and almost as fast.

    Torx WTF

    That explains a bit. Mine were used on new graphic arts cameras.

    Torx WTF

    I used thousands of socket head capscrews, and many hundred button heads, in my business. Never had much problems with them stripping out. (Everything from 6-32bh to 1/2-13 capscrews.) I did round out a few of the smaller Allen keys. I think the,bolts, even button heads were harder.

    Torx WTF

    So it wasn't bad enough that they developed another bolt style for no good reason except to sell tools, they had to develop ANOTHER version of the same unneeded bolts, to sell EVEN MORE tools? What can torx do that Allen's cant?

    Mongo Will Not Be Down...

    No disrespect intended at all, but when you say Mongo, I think Alex Karras. RIP Steve.

    Torx WTF

    Grind the end square again, BINGO! New Allen socket.

    Torx WTF

    Why, and HOW, is this bs better than an allen?

    Will It fit

    Yeah, the narrowed nine is something you probably should have mentioned, lol. Once a rear is narrowed, "normal" does not apply. (My narrowed nines are under 40" disc face to disc face, and not in the muddle of the tub, lol)

    Torx WTF

    Replace the f#@king torx with something else (i HATE torx. Just a device to make mechanics buy more tools!)

    Vacuum or mechanical secondary

    You can get away with a too-big carb, or a dp, easier with a car with a stick, or a stiff rear gear. And having a light car certainly helps too. I run an 850 dp on a small block..... but I have 4.57s, a 5000 torque converter, and 2300 lbs. If you are gonna try a double pumper, I would...

    Vacuum or mechanical secondary

    "Double pumper" refers to a holley style carb (LOTS of companies make em now) with mechanical secondaries, and an accelerator pump on both bowls. (NOT merely a dual inlet carb). Slightly more of a race-style carb than a vacuum secondary version. There are tuning options galore for vacuum carbs...

    Vacuum or mechanical secondary

    I have used 800-850 double pumpers on all my "fast cars" for years. Even ones with auto trans. But mine have around 500 hp, 3.91, 4.10, or 4.57 gear, 5000 converters, and mileage means nothing. You could experiment with a 750dp, but I think you'll be happier with what you have now.

    rim size

    An inch from tire to spring? Way plenty! I have under a half inch on mine, never rubs.

    Favorite color combos......

    Gotta agree. Some colors need a lot of contrast. Kinda like purple needs some white stripes or vinyl top to set it off.
