Always get the parts magnafluxed before shipping on heavy parts. Make sure you know exactly what you are buying. Call the person and talk to them to make sure the part is what you think you are buying. Arrange the shipping on heavy parts to save money. Pay a fair price and you can find anything, loo...

The A-1 blocks had somewhat of a higher nickle content. They were from the new factory setup on the road that came to be known as "eight mile road" because of its distance from the CHRYSLER assembly plant. The A-1 blocks expand and contract at different rates than the HH blocks. Use the on...

Do the marine drives run off what would be the front of the motor in a car? If thats the case I can see where the distributor would be a real interference problem for the blower drive. Here we have a lack of understanding and terminology. Many people that post here and elsewhere do not understand o...

dome volume pushed into a 92-102 cc head vrs the 112 cc of the 392 will make a difference. The early 331-354 heads have smaller combustion chambers than the 392 heads.

RCD will make them for you. www.rcdengineering.com

Apply the same rules to everyone.

Factory tollerances are sometimes understated because people push the window, you can do the same thing with thicker headgaskets, what about the pistons got any comments on the subject?

The billet 392 blocks are being sold as water or solid they run 7700.00 The billet 354 pattern with high runner heads are also being sold I got a price of 4200 bare. Both can be used with "stock" parts. One big rod shop is building the first all billet 392 hemi 32 ford roadster, the budget...

I have never seen a blower that could be adapted to a Chrysler Marine engine, no where to drive the blower.

The Special performance engines were painted a different color. A deep royal blue.

These are real simple.

New Cranks and the origional Crager manifolds are available, last prices I paid were the crank 2650 the manifold run 425. Check with your engine machine shop, or parts finder, they can get them for you.

I would send it to a shop IN THE US, NEAR PARTS SUPPLIES and have the long block rebuilt before I paid to have a 331 shipped to Holland. You can save having to pay for all that heavy cast iron junk shipped.... Ahh new hemi ebay bargin hunters... ..

The manifolds are all cast in the same area in CA that sell PAW, BDS, and HotHeads manifolds. :oops: The runners are built in such a way as to have large obstructions on the bottom of the manifold, on both sides, inside the runners where they are machined for socket head cap screws. :cry: If the run...

The machine shop that does all my blocks showed me that the "deck plate" in unnecessary when working on these blocks. The blocks are so well supported in the bores the runout on a "non plate honned" block was less than .00007. They do many many top fuel engines, the aluminum bloc...

Read that book as for what it is, just information. Get infromation on current technology from sources that actually do the work, not just repeat what they are told. I just finished a 430 inch "354" with 55 heads and found much of the books "infromation" to be heading in the righ...

The locking nuts on the adjuster are different sizes, with the large ones being the most preferred.

Roller Lifters have been made for 35 plus years, the early light weight models required the machining of the block. The lifters from most Chryslers are interchangeable. Check their size.

New cranks are available from several sources. They run in the mid 2500-2600 range. They have always been made.

I have done it to 4-5 low budget rebuilds, works fine for low power engine.

I have a completed, modified M45SP3 that is going back in the only Chris Craft Capri ever built with a 275 Hp hemi. I made a few modifications, 5/8 inch stroker crank, titanium rods, weisco 10.5:1 pistons, Cam with 505 lift IE, manton push rods, 55 heads ported and polished with SS 2. and 1.75 valve...
