Got something cool for you guys to check out today. I bought this block apart of a deal a few months ago from a gentleman who has had this block in storage for years... He purchased it from a shop in Tampa, FL I believe back in the mid 80's. Other than that it is unknown on the exact history of...

Hey guys! Just got done building a new 505 for the Coronet... My last block decided to crack a cylinder wall after sitting for 3 years... So, I made it out to Bradenton Motorsports Park two weeks ago for the SFG $20K/$50K to win 5 day race. Only raced Tues and Weds. The car did OK this time out...

Hey guys... I got a weird one for you. Got my engine back together after the last block cracked. All new rotating assembly, mains are .002 Full Groove and rods are .0022-.0024. All the plugs on the inside of the block are plugged to include the 3/8 stock pickup as I am running an Milodon...

Hey guys, back again! So as most of you guys know I made a thread earlier in the week asking for advice and opinions on what a stock 440 block could take... I guess I shouldn't of even asked... I was pulling the motor to do some needed maintenance for the off season and came across this nice 2...

Hey guys, curious to see what everyone has seen out there about what these 40+ year old blocks can handle for horsepower.

Hey guys, Wanted to know your different setups out there for motor plates. From what I've been able to find, I'm usually seeing the plate in the front and just a trans mount and thats it. Curious to know is their something I'm missing here? Seems like quite a bit of weight to hold up by just a...

Hey guys, Well here it goes. I have been looking out trying to find some info on how to measure piston to valve clearance WITHOUT having the cam. I have not been able to find a single way except in the Mopar High Performance Book where it mentions something about "Tappet at TDC". Piston...

Hey guys, Been looking around and trying to figure out a good dome piston to use in my 440. Looking to get 13-13.5 to 1 compression. I've been looking at Ross Pistons 99501 and looks to be what I need, but what piston vs head combo do you guys use to get that compression ratio up there? Also...

Hey guys, Building another motor for next season. Going to be a bracket car running in PRO. Currently I have planned is a 440 w/ Forged Crank and H Beam rods with Ross Pistons. Pistons are going to be 11.6 - 1 w/ 88cc heads. I'm running irons this year, aluminum is just out of the budget. Might...

First start up of the season... Made a video, decided to share. Of course as soon as I was done filming I noticed a nice drip going right where the main seal is... Lovely ain't it lol Almost got the car all back together, just need to put new brakes in. I guess Dr. Diff is Out of Stock at the...
