Heads read [ATTACH] Block casting number and on the front pad it reads,V0822MF[ATTACH] If I’m right it comes out as a 67 Camaro 210hp
All good info to keep in mind. Many thanks
I have seen those but that would mean more outlay. Would it affect the running with my setup or would it be better on a 3x2 manifold
This is how the motor is at the moment [ATTACH] This Coupe is the sort of look I’m after Chopped and channeled with Rocket Racing Injectors...
Thanks for that Gary. Sticking with the 3x2’s as it’s more in keeping for the look I’m after. This is going to be built as a bit of a cruiser....
Thanks for the help. It’s much appreciated. All this help will be helpful when the parts buying spree begins. I want to try and get things right...
Went with a 400 as that’s what was available at the time. Gearbox’s don’t come up for sale that often in the UK
Engine will either be painted black or body colour(pastel green). With ally rocker covers,oil pan,polished water pump and stainless lakester headers
The engine came with them. Did consider putting them on a 3x2 intake but it’s then more expenditure. This motor is definitely more for looks than...
Is there a problem with using these heads????? By the time the motor is painted you wouldn’t really know they were ally
I want to stick with the 3x2’s so will look for a suitable cam
Might be worth running it as it is at the moment and see how it runs. Might not need anything doing to it after all.
I’ve seen these for sale and didn’t know if they would be a good upgrade over my originals...
Good to know. Nothing is built up with motor/trans/gears as I’m just trying to design it all before I go ahead and buy parts.
Been doing a bit of reading on here and through google searches and the comp cam XE268H seems a good option. Not interested in top end power or...
That was my thinking with sticking with the standard motor. My only thought for the rebuild is at least I know the state of the motor when it goes...
Thanks for the reply. 9” rear with 3.25 gears 31” tyres I wasn’t too fussed about spending the money, but didn’t know if it was actually worth...
hi Hopefully somebody could help me out with this build. Going in a Model A Coupe Is it worth spending the time/money for a street car Engine...
Nice Flathead in the 40 Coupe [ATTACH] Chevy 327 with 3x2 Holley’s in the Model A [ATTACH]
Pretty sure that ‘A’ will be no good for the V8. Think the axle would be a straight swap. I’m pretty sure someone will be along to confirm.
Got these on mine with a full 2” straight through stainless system Also running 2 97’s with Edelbrock heads Sounds like a WW2 bomber on ticker...
Thanks. Will do
Many thanks:)
Thanks for all the help and advice. Thought I might be looking into it maybe too hard but only like to buy things once.
Yeh already seen the wheel cyl’s. thanks for the help
That’s where i was getting confused with rock auto. Many thanks for the help and I’ll get the parts ordered.
Looks like I’ll have to do that. Only problem I was having was, as I’m in the UK returning wrong parts is not an option. Just have to take the...
I’ve just looked up on rock auto for a 78 and they still have different shoes 11”x2.25” 11 1/32”x2.25” And another just saying for 11.03 drum
Hopefully this will help [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Shoe width 2.25”( worn in grooves) [ATTACH] Ebrake shoe at 12” [ATTACH] Ebrake shoe at 11.75”...
Everything apart from backing plates, Drums Shoes Wheels Cyls Fitting kit
