Re: Looking for Parts
This combo is not going to be set on kill to set any nostalgia VRA records, just to have fun. Thanks in advance for your help. Doesn't look like he's trying to set any records! "injected N/A deal on 80-85% nitro" That more or less dictates the level of parts needed to keep a motor togethe...

Spring pressures will break ex rocker arms. Spring pressures will bend stock shafts. Tool steel are stronger. M2R just got old iron heads to flow over 400CFM also. Start with the oiling system, these guys have the best oiling and strongest rockers for early Hemis. If you want to break records you ma...

Re: 1956 354 Head vs. the triple Nickle 555 Head
Does this head have the same port configuration as the 555 head? If not are they close? I am considering a alternative upgrade for my blown street/strip 392! The 54 55 56 heads have simular ports. The water jackets were moved up in 55 and more in 56 allowing more materials to be removed for air flo...

Re: bypass for the oil filter on a marine block
I am done with the 331 marine short block assembly. On the boss for the oil filter the normal two outlets are sealed with o-rings and the third small port ,which I think was the bypass on a marine engine, is on the right side of the two larger ports. I tapped it with an 1/8th inch pipe plug deep en...

Were the race HEMIs, like what came in the '68 Super Stockers, really much different than a street HEMI? I think they came with higher compression and a better intake manifold. Maybe they've got better carbs? Seems like it wouldn't have been a huge bump over a street HEMI, but on the other hand, wh...

Hope you got a real good warranty on the engine. Here is the story on the last company that tried to boost expensive auto engines to unreal limits. Calloway made twin turbo Corvette motors in the lat 80's early ninety 90's. They all had real high HP numbers and GM finaly had it as a factory option. ...

I am pretty sure they allowed larger tires and Wayne had a bent valve in that shootout. Ponder this: YOU are in Year 1970 (last year before emissions started to hit) You have a chance to get a free L88 Corvette (too few ZL1s around) or a Free 1970 Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth anything. Gosh, hard choic...

I'll shoehorn a hemi in that vette if that's what he wants.....or needs in this case :lol: The L88 Corvettes are faster, lighter, more aero efficient, and worth more than just about any hemi car ever produced. Having owned a 67 L88 Corvette and a 69 Hemi Superbee there was no comparision. Plus the ...

I was also wondering if 300 horsepower is too much to ask for out of this motor. (on pump gas)? thanx for reference to hemi hp numbers, the first production car engine with 300HP was the 1955 331 Chrysler C300 in 1955, high compression, solid lifter and cam, adj rocker arm system, very large valve h...
