SC3800 would be a decent power boost over stock and having the manifold and valve covers say 3800 would be priceless.
We need accurate measurements that you are confident in in order to properly advise you.
Low mileage, I wanna say around 80k, ran when pulled, like a decade ago lol. I think it's a '67 Can ship at buyers expense.
It's a matter of what's "best" vs what's serviceable. For the guy who removed a bunch of used lifters, sent them through the parts washer and...
Yeah it does but not as well. A lot of people get lucky. Some people don't. Yeah, keeping them matched to the holes is better than not, but...
Draw it in CAD or have a friend draw it in CAD and then use SendCutSend. Order minimum is like $30-40 though so have them draw some other stuff...
I just pulled those numbers out of my ass. I'm just saying as long as the gap is something that will run reading the plug residue for lean/rich...
No low compression flathead is good on gas. You pair it with a big honkin automatic and it's gonna get worse. The pre-war cars only get decent...
Exactly. Plugs themselves don't matter as long as the gap is more than zero and less than .25
A shop vac would have gone a long way toward preventing that.
That doesn't actually matter much. As long as used lifter is paired with used lob you're mostly fine. The fact that they haven't worn perfectly...
Another vote for "leave natural". Makes for a better conversation starter that way.
Pull the spark plugs, post pictures of the business end of the plugs.
You sure it's actually 2.3" and not a nominal size designation? 2.375" is 2" pipe, 60mm (actual, not nominal) is a common metric tube size.
By "last" you mean "zero blowby and zero smoke". After that it just goes back to be a "normal" 100-200k engine that burns a bit of oil and has a...
I think many here would be surprised at what condition an engine can be in and run well for a long time. I would personally touch the bores as...
I'd just like to remind everyone that the GV has proven to have less than optimal reliability behind 3spd autos and 4spd manuals in 80s and 90s...
Weld and turn.
I use a tray from the bottom of a large dog crate. You can buy them off Amazon for not that much money. I fill it with sawdust but any absorbent...
Good to hear those tolerances work successfully. I will probably try to do a little better than in both directions since obviously less is better.
Short springs (which all 1/4 elip are) are stiff and hard to tune as any little addition or removal of a thin leaf will have a big impact. I...
Any idea on the accumulated mileage or operating hours? How far off concentric and parallel are the respective faces of the adapter? I'm...
If you're asking you've never set up gears before. You'll want bearings because you'll want to make setup bearings which requires destroying one...
Worceter MA area. Updated my profile to include that.
If anyone wants my project and related parts it's free to anyone in this thread. Edit: SOLD!
Still available. You can't buy the cylinder head for what I'm asking.
If I had a complete truck Y-block with a floor shift truck speed sitting around I would put it in a hot rod no questions asked. Even at stock...
I've worked in manufacturing at various points in my life. It's not 1920 or even 1960 anymore. There are manufacturing workplaces out there that...
The real money maker is that it keeps the genius UAW employees from screwing up the install. You give that brainless twat a calibrated computer...
This pretty well sums up how well the heat shrink hose clamps age: [MEDIA]
