    Mini-Starter B block headers touching

    Hi, I have a 400 block with TTi 2" x 2 1/8" step headers with a chrysler mini starter part number 3005984 with an 11" flywheel. According to the TTi website the 11" flywheel and ministarter will not fit with these headers. I learned this the hard way and saw my mini starter sitting on the...

    Polish trick flow 240 ports?

    I finally received my TF240 heads after about 5 months of backlog. They are super nice and will be taking them to my machinest/engine builder to run the actual flow numbers and give them a once over. I noticed the ports have a texture to them (not polished smooth) from whatever method they use...

    Breaking in the 470

    I’m finally getting around to finishing my 400 to 470 stroker. Bottom end has been done for over a year but covid put a bit of a hold on things. I’m a bit of a rookie with this high performance stuff. I’ve read a lot of back and forth about breaking in the engine. I know to use proper break in...

    ARP Main Stud BB problem

    Has anyone ever installed big block arp main studs and noticed that the #5 main cap studs are too long and hit the oil pan? I think about 1/8” less would clear it with the oil pan gasket. They are all the same length but I think these 2 need to be a bit shorter than the others? Some comments on...

    looking for opinions on possibly upgrading the heads on my 383. I currently have 906 heads from a 68 roadrunner. I was toying with the idea of a 440 swap but I already purchased and installed a bunch of parts for my 383 (eddy perf rpm intake, extreme energy cam, Holley DP, dougs headers, etc...

    Aluminum bits in pan?

    hey everyone, so I recently replaced my stock pan on my 383 with a milodon. After taking the old pan off I found these gritty pieces at the bottom that felt like metal. The engine was rebuilt about 1500 miles ago. I washed them off and they look like the pic below. I could hear some trapped in...

    383 milodon pan choice?

    im looking at milodon pans for the 383 in my 64 plymouth. Milodon says part number 31010 fits well on 64 and earlier k members but only mentions RB blocks on summit. Will this fit my B block as well? https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/mil-31010 If not, which one? Thanks, -Steve

    383 4bbl swap for 2-4?

    So this is a result of long Canadian winters with too much time on my hands to plan. I was all set on simple double pumper with an eddy perf rpm intake for my 383. Then I heard someone mention that in the early 60s some dealers would offer a 2-4bbl set up on 383s. Never new this was an option...
