I'm a cheap SOB and use a ZDDP additive to Walmart oil. Just pour a little out of a five gallon jug, add the additive and shake it like a can of paint and pour it in. But I like the other options with Zinc and Phosphorous too. Keep in mind, my 70 Challenger has 250,000+ mile on it. It needs a...
I have two choices I feel from my experiences was appropriate, 240 (not max wedge 270) Trick Flows for a hot rod and 440 Stealth for a mild hop up or stock type engine. Some companies have the reputation they have for a reason. Trick Flow has developed a great set of performance big block Mopar...
@Juan Veldez make sure when you order from Mancini, you call them to place the order and ask the appropriate questions regarding your rotating assembly. If they don't have it in stock, ask for a worst case estimate of them delivering it. They're pretty great. There's a reason they're one of the...
Next they'll tell you they have everything but the crankshaft! Sorry, couldn't resist. I understand your frustration. Thanks for the heads up on dealing with Scat Enterprises!
Honestly, if checked out by a competent cylinder head machine shop, they'd probably work fine!
If it were me, I'd buy Trick Flow 240 heads for a performance engine. Or 440 Source Stealth heads for a mild build engine to get the factory look.
First off (others may disagree), I'd never run aluminum rocker arms on anything but a dedicated race car! For the street, you need steal or ductile iron.
Look at PRW rocket arms...
If it were me, I'd buy a new set of 340 exhaust manifolds and get a nice 2 1/2" dual exhaust system put on it. Either that, or the more expensive option of TTI headers (they have better ground clearance)...
Yes, get oil with zinc and phosphate. I too like to run straight 30 weight, but really having the zddp is most important! Even if you have to buy an additive and mix it in.
Welcome to FEBO from the desert! We're all a little crazy here - owning E-Bodies!! Well, at least I am! 🤪
Load some pics of your E-Body (or other Mopars) when you get a chance!
With a lot of things Mopar, you could have an early 72 build that used a 71 hood. They always tried to get rid of "old inventory" from the previous year. The clips and nuts might work just fine on your hood.
