You do realize how long these motors are right? If a BBF 460 won't fit lengthwise the 3.7 won't either. I like your post about putting the...
Was this from a Ford truck? I haven't seen one like this. The collector outlet is shaped differently. I expect this is cast iron and heavy? Weight...
What does that adapter do? I installed a manual trans behind my motor which required a pilot bearing bored into the crank. I don't know what is...
The stock water pump would work, but I would be concerned about water leakage into the block like they are known for. There are some posts here...
These have a GM bellhousing pattern except for 1 bolt. The bellhousing is about 5/8" longer than the rear of a Chevy. Many guys take a cut off of...
Does a BBF (our 3.7) header fit if it is put on upside down. I'm thinking a cheap block hugger 460 exhaust header could be modified easily with a...
It's looking like my 3D printed manifold is a bust. It has been 2 months since I was at that shop and they did the scanning and programing work on...
Flatrod17, I contacted the builder of your inline 4bbl manifold. He does really nice work. If I wouldn't have had a connection doing the 3D...
I drilled my head in the back to access the water port for my water temp sensor. I just drilled and tapped it for the NPT that my sensor was. 1/8"...
You are correct. I just looked at my stock intake manifold. No bolt there. I'm using an A460 head so it has raised runners which increases the gap...
I have made a modification to my head. I plugged the threaded holes next to the water outlets. I then redrilled and tapped them at 90 deg to the...
[ATTACH] Starting on a new intake for ITBs. This is the CAD generated image. It is going to be 3D printed. The tubes on the manifold ends are...
Looking at motors for sale. Does anyone know what the specs are for the 190 motor camshaft? I found one of those with a hole in the block. It is...
Thanks. Those won't help me. Mine is bigger than them (.519).
Oh, the vacuum reading is there, I am just too stupid to figure out how to open the data logger to find it. The tuner guy did look at it but...
I don't think it is a choked-up issue. I think it is a turbulence issue at some motor rpm. My exhaust is big. 2 1/2" primaries and 4" collector....
The dyno doesn't lie. It says my motor is NOT happy. Everything seams goes well up to 5000 rpm and it just hits a wall. It won't go higher. Even...
I just tested my some E85 for actual ethanol content. My local station which had junk E85 before is consistent with before. It is actually E43 -...
I would have to have a custom manifold to mount the carb. I have an A460 head which has much different ports than the stock BBF intake. My cam...
What fuel to use?? When I initially built the engine, the compression was supposed to be 14:1 with the intent to use methanol for fuel. I had...
My motor update; After having the starter/flex-plate issues I disassembled the motor to a long block. I put the motor at TDC and installed a...
I think a damper would help stop some of the vibration that big 4's are known for. I probably crossed into "shakey ground" when I removed the...
I have one of the HiTorque starters from IMI on the motor. I was surprised how reasonable the replacement pinion gear kit was from them. $20 for...
I'm still here. I was just reading through all the pages since I had checked in. I pulled my setup out of hibernation today to take another look...
There may be a new player coming to the big 4 cylinder world. It should make good power. It was displayed at the PRI show this weekend. [MEDIA]
There are spacers available to put into the GM truck bellhousing that adapt it to car transmission bearing retainer size.
I don't quite know where that section is. If anyone is looking for stock iron cylinder head cores. I have 3. They are free. The buyer pays...
I would also pass on those heads. I bought an A460 for mine. It has the same issues with intake and exhaust fitment. It has way more flow...
I had access to a bigger glass bead blaster and used that. You have to really be cautious when doing this. The blasting media gets into...
When I look that starter up is says it fits the early air cooled VWs. I doubt that the bolt pattern or tooth mesh is correct. Those motors were up...
