A while back, when I was seekin info on early Hemis, I found a thread here somewhere where a fella had an early Hemi in a hot rod.....I wanna say...
I'm not a Ford man, so I wouldn't fo it.
Thanks yall. I suspected as much with the 337, as if they were something to look for, people would be running them. Yall have been a great help...
Thanks carl. So.....what about the 337 ky00b truck motors? Are they worth doin anyhting with? It would seem bigger is better. Unless they are the...
Thanks yall. I found a copy of that book for 8 bucks shipped. Thank you for that.
Thanks. I had found that site and already done a lot of reading there. Much appreciated.
Thank you! That's certainly a start.
Like I need another project. I have always wanted to build a flathead Ford V8. Nuthin crazy, just somethin maybe with a couple of one or two...
This ^^^^ is what I was referring to. I stand corrected. If the rest of you want to busy yourselves counting fucking rivets, go right ahead.
That's funny. Incorrect as well.
Simple solution. Just run the longest rod possible. Of course that will require more pistons, but rod length has a direct effect on piston speed....
If you're n this for affordability, might I suggest a go cart?
Unless you got DEEP pockets, flatties are useless for power. They are super cool, and I'd love to build one one day, but compared to an OHV V8,...
I would use the 600s. The 450s won't be enough on a tunnel ram. The ram effect coupled with dual carbs (cuts the vacuum signal in half) will...
Here is what the Comp site says. "COMP Cams® designed the Thumpr series of camshafts to deliver the meanest-sounding idle on the block, but we...
THIS ^^^^^ Just like any other cam, the Thumpr will work great if it's matched up.
That's just not true. The Thumpr series cams are designed to pull good in street use, but sound much bigger than they are. Choosing one of them is...

Take your shoes and socks off. Dump some water on the floor. Step into the water. Remove the coil wire from the distributor. Hold the metal end in...
Look in the inside of the pistons EVERYWHERE. There's a part number in there somewhere. If it's a Silvolite, for example, it will have a four...
Hyper pistons ARE cast pistons. There is no difference in how they are made, only in the composition of the alloy. Not all of the KB pistons are...
Bump. I just wanna make sure this gets seen. Lots of bad news....I wanted to share some good stuff. Thank you drive through.
Buying something big off the internet doesn't come without its concerns. Will the item be as advertised? Is the seller one of integrity? If I have...
Still hangin onto hope.
No kiddin.....even moreso since his child helped with the build.
Gold's goin for 1700 plus an ounce these days.
Welcome. We already have three things in common. Health, funds and Georgia!
Yup. I saw it. I was just makin sure you knew there were alternatives. Everybody is crazy about puttin duals on everything...and sometimes it...
See...check these out....
I'll add to that. I talked to Doug Thorley at length about crossover pipes in general. He said he'd run dyno testing in every kind and found...
