Depends on what and where. Irontite tapered and threaded inserts are better. Start about 1/4" past the crack, drill, taper ream, tap, red loctite, and tighten until the tapered insert breaks off just above the surface. Then drill, tap, etc the next hole with about a third diameter overlap...

Back to why didn't yhe factory use "stroker specs". They built a block, figured out the largest cubic inches possible, then dropped the initial size down by 30 or 40% so they could make it bigger every few years as a sales gimmick! TIMINATOR

Actually they can be welded with a 200 amp D.C. WIRE WELDER! Heat a decently large area to just below a dull red, make a short pass less than an inch and a quarter and reheat the area around the weld, not the weld itself until its all that same color. Then weld some more and reheat. Repeat until...

They do and that's because the others are more cast grey iron (softer) and the mopars have more Nickel for strength and some tin to keep the iron more malleable and crack resistant. You can port 2 sets of sbford heads in the same time it takes to do one set of mopar heads! P.S. the last offset...

Ford 400 is poop because of the head design, limited years of sale and with big crank journals theres more rotating weight too. A 400 chebbie has a 4.125" bore and a 3.75" stroke. It also has a short 5.565" rod that is even shorter than the pathetic standard 5.7" regular chebbie unit. The...

What brand?

By whom?

LOL!

Nope. Not a thing. I called and sent pics to the big four companies here in AZ. and a total of 13 more national companies before I posted. Since I know the peeps a Hughes (local to me), I think I will cut it open and see what it seems to be. I will talk to my guys over there gor their opinion...

I bought a nonrunning project car and this was with it. It obviously is an 8" convertor for a 727 and not used much. It is stamped DX-5 with 3/8" stamps and SS with a 1/4" stamp. Anybody recognize the mfgr? I would like to get some info before I decide what project to use it for. Hughes, Yank...

No one had the raised runner step headers in stock that I wanted. I heard several stories about how TTI won't sell to anyone but dealers too. I figured I would call and see for myself. About 6 months ago they told me they didn't do credit cards, so I said I will send you a bank check, money...

Still wondering what 6PKRTSE's beautiful car runs! I have a bunch of go fast LA,B, Hemi and RB parts as well as convertors, headers, carbs, manifolds and other stuff for sale. It seems that most folks on this board are all about original bolts and brackets, not HP mods. Is there another board...

Way cool! I'm trying to visualize..... THANKS! TIMINATOR

On the block end, yes. On the nut end, no. The finer thread (SAE NF) on the nut end being a finer thread (flatter angle) means there is a better ratio of torque to clamp force. Think of trying to push a car up a shallow hill as opposed to a steeper angle hill. The typical ratio from coarse to...

You must line hone the block when installing studs. Due to the fine thread on studs, they provide around 30% more clamp load to the caps, and tend to distort the main bore. I have seen peeps get by without line honing, but that usually only works if the clearances are big due to crank wear or...

I got the same old song and dance from ALL the 5 "stocking dealers" that I called. "Back ordered for 3 to 5 months." I called TTI direct and was told they had them in stock! I don't trust any of the "computer pay" systems, so I mailed them a check, they called my bank to clear it the day they...

How far in the 8s? 60 ft? I figure with my 300 plate I should do around 9 flat. We will see...

Yup. Got bar and connectors, and since I (I own a machine and fab shop) can convert it to a cage, but don't want to. I really want 9 something on the motor and whatever on the "bottle." I have made a career of running many of my "sleepers", getting one pass and kicked out, for no cage or bar...

I have a 1972 Challenger with relocated springs and 275/60 "R" Drag Radials. I just recieved my Super Stock springs this week. I am building a 512" with TFS heads and before I select the solid roller cam and intake/carb, convertor, setup I was wondering what E.T./MPH these will work to before I...
