    What's it Worth Mystery bucket seats, I suspect from a Dart or Duster

    Yes, those are worth selling. Price? $500 for the pair, minimum. The seat tracks and foam look to be intact and that absolutely matters. Those are 1973-76 Duster/Dart/Dart Sport but not Valiant since the Valiant line was far more likely to be bench seat equipped.

    Interesting story about To Live And Die In L.A.

    Yes, it was. Bill Hickman had longer hair in that one.

    When assembling a big block, how crucial is THIS ?

    Ahhhh. Now THAT clears it up. Thank you! I don't know. I'm just learning about this stuff.

    Thank you.

    When assembling a big block, how crucial is THIS ?

    Okay, if so, what stops the cam from contacting the plug at the bell housing end? The cam button stops forward travel but what stops it rearward ?

    Do you need a special timing set when switching to a roller cam in a big block?

    The Rollmaster seems to have a Torrington bearing on the back:

    When assembling a big block, how crucial is THIS ?

    Thank you. I forgot that there is a step in the diameter of the hole.

    Do you need a special timing set when switching to a roller cam in a big block?

    Since I haven't done this before and haven't been around anyone that has, everything that is different compared to a flat tappet swap is foreign to me. I wondered how the cam end play was measured and it wasn't until I saw a video with a dial indicator mounted in the lifter valley that it made...

    Post up facts and things that hardly anyone knows...... (for entertainment purposes only. NO need to fact check)

    The man who invented the game Operation never received any royalties for it. He was unable to afford his own surgery until his friends and fans raised money for him online. In 1935 when Roosevelt increased the top tax rate to 79% for those making over 5 million bucks, it only applied to one...

    When assembling a big block, how crucial is THIS ?

    Is safe to assume that the camshaft does not make contact with the plug ever? I could do a mock up tomorrow with stuff that I have out in the shop but this is something that I've never heard anyone discuss. My concern is related to the upcoming cam swap due to it being a roller design.

    When assembling a big block, how crucial is THIS ?

    Cam plug depth. Yeah, not a real exciting topic but I'm curious. Here is the depth I had in my 440/493, as noted when I pulled it in 2022 to rebuild. You can see, the edge of the plug is near the edge of the hole in the block. When I knocked in the new plug after getting the engine back...

    Do you need a special timing set when switching to a roller cam in a big block?

    I appreciate the patience with me on this stuff. I'm guessing that fore/aft movement of the cam has to be limited to keep the lifter wheels in proper contact. I've never checked to see how close the timing chain is to the back side of the timing cover. The cover always slipped in place and I...

    Do you need a special timing set when switching to a roller cam in a big block?

    The stock roller cams in the 1992-2002 5.2 and 5.9 engines were cast iron.

    Do you need a special timing set when switching to a roller cam in a big block?

    Thanks guys. This is new to me. I read that the Torrington bearing for the cam sprocket was recommended but I wanted to make sure. Regarding the cam button….010 sure isn’t much. I’m guessing that you have to account for the thickness of the timing cover gasket when measuring?

    Do you need a special timing set when switching to a roller cam in a big block?

    Hello, I am slowly coming around to making the switch to a roller cam for my 440/495. I thought in my travels here and there that these require a special timing set where the cam sprocket has a Torrington bearing. Is that true?

    Annoying TV ads part 15

    They still used the same house and driveway that the Road Runner was in. Another thing about that new ad that I noticed is FEWER white people in it, as if only people of color got fat and wanted a shortcut to being in better shape.
