For those that have been around these engines, my main question is how deep or shallow does the shaft sit into the distributor gear on the oil-pump drive shaft? Is there a factory specification on the required depth? From my research, the mounting surface to distributor drive shaft tip is...

Well, my stroker is back from the machine shop and everything is down to the wire other than the pushrods. Builder stated I needed 8.450" (total length). I'm running Edelbrock RPM's with Isky Ductile Iron Adjustable Rockers. Before I sound really stupid giving Smith Brothers a call, please...

Looking at purchasing a 727 locally, trans guy wants $675 for a rebuilt 727; CL Ad; Completely rebuilt transmission with Raybestos H/P clutches, TransGo Shift Kit,High Energy int. band. Is this a fairly good price? He has a Turbo Action reverse manual VB for $110 I am trying to get him to...

Contemplating a turbo in my future possibly for my BBM. Would the easiest method be to install a typical HP exhaust manifold (nearly a block hugger style header, with a very short primary tube length 2-3" to the collector, bolted upside down)? I actually would be running a very small single...

http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/techarticles/engine/1305_mopar_performance_purple_shaft_camshaft/ It's kind of nice seeing the 'old school' cams putting up such a good fight. The old' 590MP was still a serious contender, even outperforming the 620 with relative ease..

Hey Fella's, What size is the standard A833-23 spline bearing retainer from 1969. Looking to purchase a lakewood with the larger bearing opening, but i'm not sure if I need to order the adapter kit from brewers.

Swapped camshafts 3 times, and every time the timing chain cover/oil pan has leaked out the bottom. What is the remedy for this? The last time we installed the cam, we didn't even use a gasket; we just used RTV and loaded it up. Waited a few days to crank it up, and slowly but surely the leak is...

Just purchased some Jegs Metallic Ceramic Coated 1 7/8" headers with 3" collectors, or Patriot headers to let my solid cammed' Mopar breath :headbang: Has anyone ever used these? They looked like a killer deal at only $319 per/ set from Jegs and look great out of the box. Looks like the driver...

Okay, I don't have the vital statistics for the pistons; but they are flush with the deck. Have large valve reliefs. Was told the short block had 10:1 with 213 Cast Iron heads (unsure of factory CC rating) by Carolina Machine Engines. 'Installed performer RPM heads (88cc) and a .590MP mechanical...

Is it fine to install this camshaft straight up, dot-to-dot. Car will be street driven, and isn't a track car. More of a 'show and go' car. What type of performance difference could it make by advancing the camshaft 2-4*? Don't have much carburetor and don't want anything larger for the street...

Just purchased some crane ductile iron adjustable rocker arms. Not at home (out of state in military) to check length, so ordered some 9.250" ball and cup push rods; as Mopar sells 9.2" for Adj. setups and Edelbrock stated the use of 9.250" for solid lifters with their cylinder heads. Ordered a...

Need help deciding what is the best cam for my application. 440 (451ci) 11:1cr. Victor 440 single plane Proform/Holley 750 (flows 820+) Performer RPM cylinder heads (84cc) 833 four speed. 4.10 gear, 30" tire. Currently am running a Comp XE285HL but feel it is too much for the stock...

Need some recommendations for a camshaft: Should I stick with the .509MP Camshaft with Edelbrock 84cc Heads, or go to a larger Hughes Flat Tappet with .569/.576 (1.5) lift? Desktop dyno is stating a gain of only 15 peak horsepower. Recommendations? I am talking to Comp Cams as we speak...

What intake would make the best performance, I already have the performer RPM? 440(.60)-451ci 10.5:1CR Steel Crank, Six Pack Rods, and Hyper pistons. 750DP Holley/Proform main body/mtr plates. Was on a 430RWHP 347 Ford. Edelbrock Performer RPM heads 84cc Mopar .509/292 cam. 833-4...

I just purchased some 84cc Performer RPM Heads. I know the '440 source' Stealth Heads are a better deal, but I do not knowingly buy any products from China; unless their is no other alternative :angryfire: I don't think I could even look myself in the mirror if I was to buy knockoff Chinese...

Is their a large difference in carburetor performance? The BGs state they each flow 250cfm (750cfm total, in comparison to 1350cfm), but I have always been under the impression that BG flow numbers are always on the low side. I can purchase a six shooter kit from someone for a $1,000 and it's...

Found a very rare and very cool Weiand 6-pack intake manifold for sale at a car show I am attending. The intake is in fair condition, but is in great condition for being introduced the late 1960s. What is the going price? He stated he only wanted $425, but I am positive he doesn't know the...

Prior to replacing parts and pulling the transmission, would like some advice on what it could possibly be. It just started acting up a few days ago, prior to pulling out the center chunk and installing a locker. Installed a ZOOM Performance Clutch less than 500 miles ago. No hard driving...

8 3/4 Cross Shaft? While installing a Powertrax Lock-Right into an 8.75 open carrier, I ran across a problem. The cross shaft is scarred to the spider gears and will not slide out more than a quarter on an inch (two hours with a hammer.) Called my local driveline service and they usually torch...
