So I've been planing to use the Hedmans I got at a swap meet a few years back for my Eddy headed 383. I made the "mistake" of using ARP studs. And guess what! Studs stick up far enough to require grinding about .25" off the bottom of each flange. Still playing with if the studs will clear the...

So I just stabbed the cam...was going to pop the chain on and I got that sinking feeling.. Shouldn't there be a plug in this hole? No I didn't build it...I bought it and found it this way. Thanks.

So a trans I acquired years ago is being pressed into service. It was allegedly rebuilt..(I agree) and with Hemi parts (mostly disagree). So I found 4 new waffle cut clutches per drum..ok..not hemi..but not 3 either. 4 pinion planets, 9 springs in the front drum, and a sad little 3.2 lever...

As stated...early 727 vavlebody mount bolt size needed ASAP Thanks

So I got the first 10 mile break in done..auburn LS 489 case 3.73 gear with crush sleeve eliminator, all new bearings and gears. gentle throttle, suburbia traffic. No whine..no noise. For those with USGear/Richmond gearsets..if it was going to make noise.. will it develop as I rack up miles, or...

So 489, new bearings, crush eliminator, auburn LS, new US Gear set, B/L is .006 to .0072 (I checked every dang tooth..FML). Thoughts? Thanks!

I have a pieced together extra 489 3rd member. Unused older set from US gear, carrier with new bearings, and a crush eliminator/bearing kit from Cass. I have a set up bearing. So is it: 1)Pinion preload 2) pinion depth 3)backlash 4) check pattern/readjust as needed Or 1)depth w/o sleeve.but...

Is anyone using the Lakewood aluminum bellhousing with their a833? I am considering using it because it is drilled to also accept the TKX which is in my cars future...just down the road a piece. Thanks!

Ok...thoughts? Which will make more power? Smiles per gallon! The 440. Bone stock 35000 mile 1978 RV smog motor with these addons: Eddy heads with fresh valve job, chambers cut to 79cc (pistons at .150 down), .027 head gaskets. Lunati 702 (228 duration .475/.495 lift at .5) hydraulic cam, 1.6...

First Tqflite rebuild in 30 years. I got a good kit with alto frictions and kyolene steels. All new seals, all measurements fell within spec. There was already a proven TF-2 kit in the valvebody which remained intact. I added a CRT multi spring to the front as the big anti wound coil was weak...

As stated....picked up an Offy tall dual quad ram...engine will be turquoise...car is B3. The engine color coming out of the hood dosent seem right. Its too time consuming to polish...but still curious about which media to go with.

If I have time, ill do it at home...but just in case...anyone recommend a good shop/individual?

Hello all, Am I correct in assuming something is very wrong if after removing the pinion nut,yoke,seal, and washer that repeated blows from a 4lb sledge to get the pinion gear free of the housing is required? I picked up a "rebuilt" 489 hog head with 3.73 gears a while back...it didnt feel...

Aside from weight...which would you use and why in a sub 500 HP 383 street/ocassional track full interior 69 B with 727, 3.23 or 3.73 (i have both) and a 28" tire. Im not going stroker..so its one or the other.

Man I seem to consistently find the weird ones. So my 04/12/1978 440, which "allegedly " came from a low mile motor home...just for giggles I measured the bore (3 different depths, 2 different directions all 8 holes) and i come up with the same exact measurment...which normally would put a huge...

I read an almost 20 year old post where a very respectable member of another board said, "1968 and 1969 383 2&4 bbl pistons shared the same Compression height...just the 2bbl were dished." With more info available these days as our world continues to grow smaller, would anyone care to add yes...

So i put the tf2 kit into my 904 a while ago and it sat till i got the front end and brakes sorted. I am just now to a point where i can drive it a bit...im 100% positive i have full throttle and TV set to all the way back at full throttle. Regardless of throttle position...my auto shifts happen...

Strength difference between2.5, 2.75 and 3.0 diameter? This is for a street/ ocassional strip semi aggressive driving 69 383/727/3.55 28" tire.

Howdy gents, So looking around the internet...after accepting the fact i cant build my 440 stroker for a while...and this gem pops up. For 350 bucks...i jumped on it. Was rebuilt about 20 years ago...and before it could be installed the owner passed away. I have not pulled the heads yet, but...

Im buttoning up my 904...when i put the converter cover plate in place...should the rear pan seal lip (yes...later style pan/gasket) be between the cover and the oil pan...or behind the converter cover? Thanks
