Re: Intake Manifold....

Not that they'd improve air flow much (if at all) over the stockers, but '60's, 70's and early-'80's vintage Slant 6 Carter or Ball & Ball 1-bbl carbs will fit that intake too. The only real advantage of switching to those, though, would be possibly to eliminate the governor used on the truck ca...

Re: 331 Oil Pump Recondition

P.S. I still think since they're almost new, you should consider keeping the 7.5 to 1 truck slugs and consider turbocharging. It would take a bit of scrounging in the boneyard to find a pair, but two carbureted draw-through turbo set-ups off of a pair of late 70's-early 80's 3.8 Buick Regal, Park Av...

Re: 331 Oil Pump Recondition

Hi Rob! NICE looking oil pan!! Your making good progress. By the way - just wondering - did you ever get a positive I.D. on those pistons? Also, have you contacted the guy that's got them and worked a deal yet with him on them yet?

Re: Normally aspirated race hemi

What are you going to be using for fuel....gasoline or alcohol? If your planning on gas, I'd probably use a tunnel ram style intake and 2-4bbls.

Re: Rockwood RV

First, 426 Hemis weren't factory installed in any vehicle after 1971. Secondly, even in stock form, the 426 Hemi was slightly de-tuned, all-out race engine and totally unsuitable for any other use. I don't know what you're smoking or what the numbers are you're reading, but 426 Hemis were never inst...
