    How much HP/Torque to target for my build?

    I'm looking to buy a motor. I have decided to either have a builder do it or go the crate route. I considered doing it myself, but I have only done low HP, stock rebuilds (and not the best work or problem free) and I really am shy on time to work on the project these days and would rather put my...

    OE replacement block, never assembled... Should I expect machine work?

    I have a neighbor that has an old 440 replacement block still with original tags on it that has never been built. It has been kept oiled down and wrapped in storage, looks in great condition. I am considering a mild 440 build and the price on this block is cheap... Am I saving myself machine...

    Stroker Kit... trying to figure out compression

    So I ran into a good deal (I think) on a stroker kit... not sure who the guy bought it from, I'm thinking Indy maybe. The cost on this may be too good to pass on. Here's the specs 440 - 500cui Eagle 4340 Steel Crank - stroke: 4.150 - 2.375 pin Eagle ESP H-Beam Rods (6.76 x .990 pin)...

    Let's get this B**** tuned!

    I've had a hell of a time getting my RR running smooth, I've been all over the map on tuning and up till recently it was starting to feel like I was just throwing darts. So I bit the bullet and bought a UEGO Wideband O2 gauge and had the bungs installed this morning. My goal is to get the carb...

    O2 sensor installation location?

    So I ordered an AEM UEGO Air/Fuel gauge and downloaded their manual. It says to place 18" from the exhaust port... Does this mean 18" back from the collector (I have headers) or 18" down from the exhaust port on the head? I am assuming from the collector.

    Holley rebuild kit.... is someone playing a cruel joke on me?

    Ok... so I'm rebuilding a 670 Holley Avenger carb that I got used. I have rebuilt an Edelbrock before, but first time on a Holley. The "instructions" that came with the kit are a joke... I have been using some online references and have torn down, and cleaned the carb, but now I'm starting to...

    Holley rebuild - Can't get metering block off

    Hey guys... any good tips for getting a stubborn metering block off on a Holley? The secondary side came off with a little fight, but the primary won't budge, I can't get enough leverage anywhere to pry it off and tried a flat blade scrapper and a few hammer taps and still no go... advice?

    Dana 60 gear and carrier change

    Just looking to make sure I'm on the right track before I drop the cash. I have a Dana 60 on my 69 RR. I don't know if it was an original b body Dana or if it was from another vehicle and adapted to the RR. I have not opened and inspected the carrier but I jacked the rear end up and spun the...

    Help me spend my money wisely...another engine build thread

    Ok, I have become paralyzed by the myriad of options on what to do with my 5K Bonus check... life was easier when all I had was $300 a month to spend :) I also have the $300 per month there after to spend. I'm trying to figure out what to do about a motor for my 69 RR.. The car is currently a...

    Opinions wanted on low-buck build options

    Ok, so I have a couple of options in front of me that I'm considering, just to get me through for a year or so, while I work on buying parts/building the final engine combo I want for my 69 RR. I'm not racing the car at all other than a few stoplights. Really hoping to build something that is...

    Is it possible to identify 18 or 23 spline with trans in car?

    First I should say that I'm manual trans challenged, so forgive the noobish questions... I need to order a clutch, pilot bearing and throwout bearing for my 69 RR, 383 with an 833. I want to order all the parts before taking it off the road, but it looks like I need to know spline count and...

    Flow gains outweigh the loss of compression when swapping from 516's to 906?

    I am finally starting to dig deeper into the 383 that the PO dropped in my RR. Looks like a 66 block, with 516 heads. I have a good dealon a set of re-done 906's and was thinking about pulling the trigger as the valves need work in the 516's. My question is, will the flow of the 906's help...

    Exhaust - Good flow, not so damn loud!

    Currently running headers, 2.5" tube, flowmasters (not sure which ones). Downturned tips right off the mufflers. The deep throaty sound of the exhaust is great until you spend 10 mins in the car in traffic, then it gets old real quick. Also, sounds like I'm trying to race every time I take...

    Carb reccomendations

    ok, so I've been running a 600 CFM Holley 08149-S that someone gave me when I realized the edelbrock that was on my car was toast. I know this is small for the application, but it has been acceptable to move the car around as needed. I should say that I'm still trying to figure out what the...

    high lift cam or vacuum leak?

    Ok, so I'm sad to say that after buying my 69RR 383 4spd over a year ago, I've finally re-wired the entire car, recreated the interior from scratch and procured and mounted every piece of missing chrome...but I know nothing about the motor. The car was set-up to drag (shallow gears, frame...

    Trouble removing fuel pump in 69 RR 383

    I got all set to put on a new Holley fuel pump today, started to remove the old stock fuel pump and got hung up....I can't seem for the life of me to get a socket on the inner fuel pump bolt. The sockets are hitting the head and skewing off just enough that it won't go on. In addition the body...
