Ya, I love the webrodder build but my heads are stock and are not really a fair comparison ): They put alot of love into the heads on his 315....
I'm good with all of the deck sealing issues, its close but it will work. Im more concerned with the potential of the engine. I found a pair of...
Quick question for all of you dodge hemi gurus. I've got a 315 hemi, mild regrind cam, 9.25 pistons, offy tripower w/rochesters. I had a pair of...
Thank you for the info! Does anyone know why the compression is so much lower than the passenger version. Are the truck pistons special low comp,...
Does anyone happen to know what the stock compression ratio is for the '57 dodge truck 315 hemis. All of the charts I've found say N/A for the...
It it worth the extra money to step up and buy one from dales? I'm chopping down my vintiques shell to match so the glass shell is not an issue.
Has anyone used the 4.5" chopped speedway '32 insert? Love to hear your comments on quality, fit, all that good stuff. Thanks in advance!
'26 T on A rails. 2" sweep in the front, 6" z in the rear. These are old pics, the car is almost done now. I'll try to remember to take my...
Thank you for the awesome input. What year 'vette should I ask for?
I'm ready to plumb the brakes on my roadster and I'm not sure which master cylinder would be best to use. The front has '55 f100 drum brakes and...
Ended up selling all of the sbc stuff and built a Hemi for it. The 6x2 went to Australia! I did learn that the XE cam makes great power but is...
Thanks for all of the input everyone! I'm going to run a bellhousing mount kit that I found at a tri-five store to prevent any of the typical...
Has anyone tried those neat sbc front mounts that Tardel has for sale? I'm using a '57 283 in a project and stumbled across these when I was...
Ya, I'm thinking that it is a big backwards step just to have staggered vc bolts. Guess I'll have to keep an eye out for some affordable 57-59...
Thanks for the info! It does look as though these heads will have smaller ports than the later ones that I have. Will I have any trouble with...
Looks like the casting is 3725306 on the '56 heads
Are they the same PP head as used on the '57 motors?
I'm putting together a '57 283 short block for a project and I have a pair of '60 power pack heads that I was going to throw on it. Ulitimately, I...
This is a pretty good site for Rochester ID: http://www.oldengine.org/unfaq/leadfoot/qjet1.htm
Not a Kustom, but a nice original paint stocker that I owned for a couple of years. Early Galaxies are really nice cars.
On my '55 first series I decided to pony up and have Sid drop my stock axle. Best decision I have made on that truck. All you have to do is flip...
Not a whole lot of progress as of late. Mostly finishing up odd and ends on the chassis, brake pedal, panhards, etc. In a streak of...
Thanks for all of the input guys. Would 9:1 satisfy a mild cam and (2) 500 edelbrocks, or would be it be lazy? From what I've found it looks...
Are there any other cast pistons available for a '56 354 hemi than the stock 9:1? Really don't have the need or budget to justify forged, but 9:1...
Just wanted to see if any fresh eyes have any insight on this one. Or happen to have a T cowl that they would part out.
In 3M: Red is about 320- 400 grit Grey is about 600-800 grit White is about 1000
Can any one give me a quick measurement of a 28-29 shell from the crossmember notch to the top? Thanks!!
