I haven't been around here in a long while, but glad to see the Hemi Tech archives are still up. I have a '55 331 (for the '55 300 model) that I...
Crap, I can't catch a break anywhere!
Now you have these! I have a Flamethrower III billet distributor for our Dodge 315 Poly I bought months ago with an intermediate shaft from Hot...
Had the same issue on my Dodge 315 Poly, but I cheated and bought the new shaft from Hot Heads. Was wondering if the shaft running flat up top...
I would also be interested in anyone's opinion on these guns that has used one. I have been looking into the Eastwood guns as well. Are they...
I think '55 and '57's are the same. Just so it points forward and upwards towards the radiator. There may be other years that will work, but, I...
I bought a Dodge thermostat housing off of eBay for our '56 Dodge 315V8 Poly and when I got it, it has 3 small pin holes in the neck where the...
I've read through this guys website a dozen times, really good stuff. Wish I could just have him build mine, but I don't have that kind of cash...
This was my first Nostalgia Drags and my son came along with me. This is a shot of him in the memorial front engine dragster that was there, he...
Is there an area where H.A.M.B. guys meet there? This will be my first one and would like to meet some guys from the Phx Valley area and see...
My young son and I will try to make it this year. Sounds like lots of fun!
Thanks George
Another early-to-later 331 question, but jumping to this thread. Can a dual-point distributor from an early 331 (say 51-53) Chrysler engine be...
Is there any problem in using a crank out of a '53 331 Hemi in a '55 C300 331 Hemi block? (of course assuming the crank is good)
I was thinking of exactly that recently for our '56 Dodge. It has a mild cam, but pretty stock, so no need for a bullet-proof rear end. Plus I...
Looks like you could come off the frame with an "L" type bracket with some metal on the inside elbow to give strength to the "L". I would box the...
George, I've not used Fram either and I hear most guys saying don't use them. What happened that they apparently are not good to use anymore?...
Scooter, I'm going to run into this very question on my '55 331. I am seriously considering the BBC route. Many reasons, weight, ease of finding...
I bought a modified 340 Harmonic Balancer from Hot Heads for our Dodge 315 as well as their keys set (but didn't use the cam keys as the motor was...
Lsgun, I posted the specs and such on the cam thread. Jay
LSGUN, mine hasn't been started yet nor is it a Hemi, but we had the cam in our '56 Dodge 315 Poly motor (Hemi block w/ Poly heads) reground by...
Scooter, here's another for you to ad. They did the special cam grind on our '56 Dodge 315 Poly cam. Great customer service, they spent 45...
Thanks desoto, that's good to know. Confirms my wish to use an alternator.
Very nice project man. I almost bought one of these trucks a few months ago, but with the rebuild on our Dodge motor, Mama said we didn't have...
Yeah, it cost me a good penny to buy an original Dodge '56 4bbl intake manifold so I would have the front bolt boss of those two you are referring...
Your right George, I've been looking at some that mount to the two front intake bolts and then come down to bolt onto one of the water crossover...
Summit has the black ones for $350. Kind of expensive, but its about what I would pay around here to have one custom built. My problem is that I...
345 DeSoto, I also am trying to get a sense of what boost level I should be looking at for what I want to do. I read on Dyer's site that they say...
lippy, what's the pinion end size on those BBC rods? I thought I saw (maybe it was on Scat, I don't remember) a BBC rod that has a 6.625" rod...
George, I was not really planning on building a stroker, in fact, I was hoping I could build a street blower motor without having to add making a...
