Ran in to a problem. Called JVX Racing for a big block to small block adpter plate. Find out he is having health issues and wont be shipping for a while. I need to get the engine and trans bolted together and in the car to modify the tunnel. So I made some 1/2" plates to temporarily hang the...

I am doing another 518 retro fit soon. Instead of using the pressure switch scheme to control the OD and LU, I found this company that makes a stand alone controler. It works best with the 46RE versions controlling everything, shift points as well as OD and LU. They offer a version that makes...

I have 18 sealed cans, yes cans, of Valvoline Dexron II. Is it still usable?

The trans was rebuilt last year by a reputable shop here in Phoenix. He does a lot heavy duty diesel trans work. He told me he put a lot of the heavy duty diesel parts in my 46RH along with a shift kit. The problem from the get go is getting the trans to shift at WOT, both second and third...

What needs to change to make a big engine spin to much higher rpms, like 6500 or so. Not looking for a build recipe, although that would be nice. What needs to change in theory? Big blocks are known for low end torque. What does it take to make it spin much higher?

The 505 makes good power, never been dynoed but pulls like a freight train. I only have oil out the breather after some spirited full throttle fun. Crank case pressure can get pretty high, the tell is my valley pan has been pushed up to the bottom of the intake and finally cracked, making an...

I had the procharger on the 383 for a while. Got it all dialed in. AFR's at WOT in the high 11's. It was running great, till it died. Cylinders 4 and 6 are destroyed. The others show just a little detonation, could pull a bit more timing but nothing destructive like 2 and 4. It is a 452 headed...

I put a new clutch in the 73. It has a stock built 440. The bearing retainer was leaking badly, while down to fix that I put a new clutch in as well. The old disc was oiled up so even tho only 2000 miles on it, it had to go. I got a Zoom MU 1858-1a from Summit. Stock replacement Borg and Beck...

Starting the rebuild of of a Gen II Hemi. Are there any books that cover this in detail? Any tips and advice is welcome.

Mcleod dual friction clutch. Very disappointing. It is supposed to handle 500 HP. My 383 was only 300 at best. The car was on the dragstrip a few times, and spent a weekend on the autocross track. The 383 engine is out right now, my 505 stroker is going in. So I have to decide on what to do with...

I have a good 727 but it has the fixed yoke. Will need a drive shaft with a slip yoke to use it. Any one know make model of truck I might find in the bone yard with a slip yoke drive shaft I can use?

I finally pulled the 505 out of the corner to get started on the rebuild. I originally painted it blue using the Dupli Color spray cans of Chrylser blue. That is crap paint. I am changing the color to Hemi Orange now, so the block has to be completely stripped of all the blue. I am using...

This does not happen all the time. As the car is coming to a stop the engine rpms come way down till the engine starts to buck, and the engine will die as it stops if I dont put it in neutral. It feels like the torque converter is in lock up when it should not be. Here is the thing, I have a...

Indy Cylinder head 528 ci Hemi. The valve train is very noisy. I dont know when the last time the lash was checked, if ever. I pulled the valve covers to have a look around. The cold lash settings on the intake side were from .015 to .026, exhaust side .014 to .050+. I have no cam spec other...

There is a lot of smoke coming out the breathers from both valve covers. This is on my Indy Cylinder headed 69 RR 528 Hemi. The valve covers have breathers with a hose connection. They ran the hose down to the under side of the car, like a road draft system. It smokes the worst after a good romp...

Any one know what the driveshaft length should be for 73 Charger 400 speed?

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/awr-bhch10004/make/dodge They are priced at $439 brand new. Some reviews say the starter fitment can be an issue.

This is the 73 Charger I brought home a few weeks ago with an engine that would not run. That problem is solved, now this. Before driving the car I gave it a once over, replaced brake hoses and bled the brakes, checked the steering components, nut and bolt check on the suspension, did the...

My new 505 suffered an extreme over heating issue with 100 miles on the build. A core plug came out at triple digit speeds. I did not know it till the engine was smoking. Blew a head gasket, burnt a groove between 3 and 5 cylinders in the TF PP240 head. The story is here...
