    Resealing an old 318

    Picked up a felpro gasket set to seal up my 1974 318 which seams to be leaking everything from everywhere. Today I pulled my timing cover, valve covers and oil pan. The heads and valve covers had a lot of hard oil gunk buildup, but since the engine is in the car I couldnt think of a way to clean...

    SRP vs Ross Racing

    I picked out a decent set of Ross Forged aluminum piston for my 440. But, the are on back order for two weeks, so I looked into SRP by JE, and they have very similar piston, about $40 cheaper and I can get it sooner.

    need some thoughts on right stroker combo

    Im picking my combo right now. I have a 400 block and a 440 block I can use. I want to be right around 500 cubes, so either a 4.15 or 4.25 stroke crank is what im figuring, but what I can't get anyone to agree on is which combo to use. My main goals are: 1. keep the engine close to 500 cubes. 2...

    Experiences buying 400 blocks for high performance builds?

    About to start my engine build, and Im trying to find a good 400 block to start with. From what I've been reading, only about 1 in 4 blocks is good for a high performance build (600-900hp). I wish I had a sonic tester to make things easier in finding a good block, but I dont. I've found multiple...
