Balance from scat, eagle, and others is weigh 1 rod each end, one piston, rings, and look at their cheat sheet for bearing weight, calculate, and make up the bob weights and spin the crank. Last I heard from Tom Leib that's the way "everyone" does it." Plus or minus around 6 grams. Rods are...

Usually I race "Just enough to win the turkey", but I knew I would never see this guy again and just couldn't resist really sticking it to him! If anyone wants to understand the phrase, I will explain. Otherwise know it's REALLY funny.... TIMINATOR

I love it! It really makes the "I bought it new so I am a hotrod guy" really pissed when they get there new car ass handed to them by one of our sleepers! The best street race I ever had was when I had my BFU 1972 4wd Dodge shorted truck. Faded Pea green and creme with a plywood camper shell...

The Turbo T Limited is prettier, but I haven't had to replace anything more than once on the Challenger! And I have been able to purchase anything that I want so far! The Challenger will be faster and it's cheaper to insure! AND the guys that have had their butt kicked by the Challenger so far...

You think that you have it rough building MOPARs? I started a light restoration on my Buick Turbo T Limited (Grand National Buick, but white, and my third one) in December of 2019. I encountered parts suppliers lying about having parts in stock, not meeting projected back ordered shipping dates...

All has gone down hill since Tom Lieb retired and sold SCAT. I still use their stuff?, but only buy from STOCKING distributors. For the custom stuff I now buy from Eagle or buy the rods and crank from resellers and get my custom pistons elsewhere. The sellers are allowed to charge for custom...

I was at a swap meet Sunday and a Mopar fanatic was moving out of state and sold MD a TON of new motor and chassis parts! In them was a brand new pair of 2" longer KYBs. Put them on yesterday and time permitting I will drive it today. Now I need an 8-71 or bigger to go on the blower manifold...

O typically run a 1" or 2" spacer from 4 hole to open and make the transition radius into the port start up inside the spacer. The 4 hole to open cnc spacers work well on most everything that I have tried. A big mistake many make is running too large of an intake. The air is accelerated in the...

Performer RPM. Those and the 440 source came In a package deal. The Speedmasters look much better by eye. I don't think the 440 source and perf rpm will flow much better than pocket ported 906s. We will see... TIMINATOR

I have 3 motors and 3 sets of heads. And a flow bench. And a dedicated porting room. Factory iron heads have a big hump in the floor and raising the top of the port gives a straighter shot to the bowl with a good flow gain Edelbock and 440 source (I have a pair of each) minimize the hump and the...

Not a test. Ported stock 440 heads gain about 28-34 cfm with this max wedge porting. You don't even need to widen them to get some gain. But stock heads have a big hook in them that aftermarket heads dont. But since I have performer rpm and raised runner speedmaster heads I was wondering if...

I have a set of aluminum heads that I will port and wondering if raising the top and widening the port to the big gasket size will gain much. Heads now only flow around 280 and I own two sets, a Chinese set and performer RPMs too. There is enough meat in two of the intakes I have to do this...

Well after some modifying I finally have the superstock springs in my 72 Challengrer. When I built the car for a customer back in the 90s, I forgot that I moved the rear springs inboard, and since they were moved farther than the kit spring setup, I had to cut and redo the superstock hangers...

MOPAR fans don't know how good they have it! I just sold my 1987 Turbo T Limited about a month ago. (Sept. 2025). I bought it in Dec. 2019 with a new but low quality rebuilt turbo, intercooled V-6. It seemed to be a lite resto, and I own an upper end machineshop, so I figured it to be done in a...

I modify (port) the oiling system on every engine I build. Then the cold/hot disparity is less and I can run a stock oil pump to higher RPM dropping pumping HP losses. Modifying oiling to me is EVERY passage intersection, pickup tube entry and exit, main cap on small blocks too. Cavitation and...

Like to see the plugs. Car weight, gear, convertor, exhaust. 12.90 seem slow. Have u run the new combo on the track yet? Not a fan of 6 pak. Short runners, disparity of velocities and mixture volume. Has the dist been curved or is it computerized? TIMINATOR

You are welcome! I designed some headers for Doug Thorley in the 90s. My shop extensively installed them on 4wds, tow vehicles, motor homes, and hi fuel milage vehicles, and still do occasionally. They are under represented in the street market due to cost and lack of advertising. TIMINATOR

Conventional headers have four individual tubes from the head flange to the collector. Tri Y headers have short (about 10")tubes from the flange to a Y, pairing two tubes to a larger tube about 20" long that then Ys together at the larger final collector. Doug Thorley was the most popular...

For bottom end, midrange and gas mileage tri Ys can't be beat. I have seen them for sale cheaper than OEM stuff. TIMINATOR
