Re: PAW power steering bracet HEM-5410
I was going through some old pictures of the items I have sold on eBay . I came across one of the bracket. Will email it to you if you think it will help. I think it could duplicated it if you really needed one by just looking at the photo & the way it bolts to the block. Buddy

Re: Hemi History - 331-A11 Hemi-powered Kurtis Indy Roadster
I am assuming the heads used were traditional earliest hemi heads with the smaller round exhaust ports since it was 1952/53, and not having the water crossover ports in the front. Guess they DO make some power :o . Or maybe Chrysler was experimenting with a revised design for the early intake/oval e...

Re: PAW power steering bracet HEM-5410
I sold one to h8buyingjunk on ebay about the beginning of 2011. I looked it up in my feedback to get his name. It is under sammspeeco2. You might get on eBay & contact him through his ID. I ALMOST kept it myself but had no need at that time. Maybe he did not use it or at least can trace it for y...

Re: 331 Cylinder thickness
To George; again! The cranks share the same stroke, journal dimensions, maybe even the same casting numbers, and MOST physical characteristics. Except the counterweights and balance specs. Smaller bore engines have smaller pistons, which translates to less rotating/reciprocating weight. Modern stock...

Re: 354 bore limit
To George ; The difference in the stroke does not determine the final compression, the compression distance of the pin center to the top of the piston does. I think the 392 has a longer distance, therefore the compression will be higher. The added amount of material to the top of the piston acts as ...

Re: Stroker 392 Crankshafts
Why are you contemplating a crank with such extreme stroke lengths? Are you really going to use one of such humongous proportions? Have you never heard that bigger is not always better, (Ask my wife LOL) especially if you are up against a limit of capability/spending? A $1,000.00++++ for a crank, $$...

I hope the machine shop you work at is a productions shop & not one that does automotive work.If a machinist at an auto machine shop has to ask a question as critical as "How Thick?" , I don't think I would be dropping off much of work for them to be doing! With a .194 on the non thrus...

Send an email address or a fax number & I will photo & email or fax all of the pages for the early hemi cams. I read you calculations. It looks like you have a top fuel grind on a hydraulic stick. It also has about 1/2 of the lobes worn off!! LOL Buddy

The catalogs only go back to 1974. From what it looks like, in the 1999 catalog Erson was under the Mr. Gasket umbrella but I don't know what the parent company is now.The '74 catalog has listings for early 331/354/392 motors. I can't find that grind listed anywhere in the early hemi section. I can'...

Re: Lets talk trannys
Another advantage is the LOW first gear ratio of 3.06 whereas a 350 turbo is only 2.52. It helps with the launches for street racing. I put a 700R4 behind a worn out 350 small block a few years ago. The rear gears were 3.55s and the tires about 28-29 inches tall. It turned almost 3000 at cruising sp...

Re: Hemi choice. Need help
Find someone that will rebuild ONE of these for the rest of them with the best of the parts so you won't have to worry about "which one do I ---- " . Specify forged pistons, good cam, aluminum intake, Sealed Power bgs., adjustable rockers, rebuilt rods, etc.. You will be good to go. Buddy

Re: Piston progress and questions
All the machine shops I deal with mark the pistons 1 through 8. They then bore each cylinder to each corresponding numbered piston for that hole. This has NOTHING to do with balancing. The external sizes are only measured without any machining to remove material. Then each piston is weighed. The lig...

Petronics makes a conversion for a 392 distributor, or dizzie. What problem? I have installed and used a lot of their conversions and have yet to find fault or a problem.
