to use an LT1 you need to use all of the lt1- You can't just drop a regular distributor- so you'd still have to have a computer running the ignition so why would you waste your time with a carb. If...
10:1 is too much escpecialy at that altitude. The only thing that would work is a cetrifical supercharger (i.e. paxton, ect) along with water injection to keep from detonation. That way is expensive!...
Aren't you the one who rips on people for owning Imports?, I'm pretty sure that a Nissan isn't made in Detroit. BTW "nearly had" and "almost have" are about the same as "I wish I wasn't such a loser...
I know that, I mean some poor kid has a simple question and Every_Mn tells him about his pet raccoon or something- or says "I don't know"- If you don't know then SHUT UP! Every time I log on I see...
Ah yes Ice- I was driving my Pops 5.0 Mustang in the winter- going to pick up my g/f on the highway that was about 100% ice- every thing was going ok at about 30 mph and then a semi tractor trailer...
YES! I've been wondering if I was the only one thinking this- I don't how the hell you get to some of these stupid topics like start by talking about rims and for some reason Every_Mn ends up telling...
Something is seriously wrong with your little calculator thingy, if you can't get more than 310 hp from a 10:1 360 with stock heads than you should hang up your wrenches! I have a freekin 318 with...
Don't port your heads unless you have access to a flow bench, or know someone with one. Otherwise its like hunting at night without a scope- you might get lucky but odds are that you'll do more...
don't waste your time with factory junk. FoMoCo's ignitions suck, if you want the easiest way- find a company called petronix- they make a electronic ignition module that fits in the stock points...
That might be true- in a highly tuned race car! But a 74 Duster isn't exactly a Ferarri so it won't make a bit of difference how big the side walls are! Thats just some bull&*%^# that the ricers use...
What kind of oil do you have in it? That could affect it, also try a manual gauge, after you change the oil, jump up to the next thickest in viscosity (from 10w30 to 15w40, ect) sometime a sending...
yeah- if you want to buy them and not move in your springs- then just get the bolt in ones and weld them in, orjust go to the steel supply store and pick up whatever size you want, probably save...
If you have a 73 and older style k-frame I can tell you the way to mount it up without spending a bunch of $ on their over priced kit. I'm pretty sure I could figure out the later style too, I just...
The FE engine, although old and out dated, is still one of the most popular engines built today. I work at a machine shop building engines and we still build about 3-10 a month, not bad for an engine...
I always considered beating a Ricer (or a deisel for that matter) is alot like getting in a fight with a girl, if you lose it sucks, because you lost to a girl, and if you win- who cares- you beat a...
first thing: tell me if you have sandwich type motor mounts, or spool type. its easy to tell the difference the spool has the bolt running parralel to the engine, and the sandwich style "sandwichs a...
how about body style originating before 74' since they carried the Dart and Duster bodys until 76'- almost completely unchanges from the originals in 68/ 70 (respectively), And if you don't like it...
For the break in use 15/40 deisel oil, it has a higher zddp (zinc) content- helping oil stay on the cam lobes so you don't wipe a cam lobe. After propper break in use whatever oil you want. I use...
I'm not 100% sure which car your talking about (have an idea) but the #1 rule with engine swap is measure, measure and then measure again. Also pay attention to oil pan sump, exhaust routing, ect......
Theres some other things you might want to think about. Without the computer the dura-spark ignition won't work, causing you to use a ditributor.- but then you'll have to change the cam to one with a...
Actually they're not the same the 360/340 uses a wider mount than the 273/318. You can make them work my just using washers to make up the difference. Also for the flexplate, the best (easiest) way...
