57 pontiac rear Thanks Guys! Just had one given to me and was thinking about using it in my 63 but there is very little info out there about them. I was talking to a gent the other day and he told me you could buy ever thing you needed at a place called Fabcraft they were reproducing all the...

Hi! Guy's can a 57 pontiac rearend be built strong enough to handle a good 409 stroker. heard they are much stronger than the 8.2 chevy in our cars

Guys I don't know if anybody noticed but that is the same engine in the Jan. issue of hot rod deluxe mag. that made 521 hp and 488 lbs with the eldbrock intake and heads. Its got the same boat headers and was put together at Joe Jills out in Ca. its going to be very interesting to see a direct...

Doe's anybody know what the price of the new kb pistons for the 348 and 409 are 2618 forged:brow

Hot Rod deluxe mag. Jan. 2009 it deals with 30's 40's and 50's customs mostly lots of flatheads

348 stroker I think the torque was low due to the large 2 1/4 sbc boat headers that were modified to use on the dyno. However looks like there is alot still on the table(hp/lbs) with ported heads and more compression and a good single plane intake would really wake that baby up. I was suprised...

I was shoping in Publix today and seen a Hot Rod deluxe mag with a very interesting article about a 348 stroked with a new eagle crank (434 cu) the new eld. heads & intake a soild roller (Isky R-561) and only 10.5 compression Ho! and four bolt cap conver. dyno results 521hp-488lbs

blown 409 Aubrey just wondering I was reading your post the other day about the blower motor and all the work it takes to put 4-bolt mains on a 09 what type where they (program for a 09) or aftermarket bbc. Plus I didnt see you mention how you need to enlarge the main oiling hole in the...

512 combo Just wondering what type of problems that you do run into and if you need to pour the block with hardblock. Is there a huge differents in the Hp and torque vs a 482 to make it worth the effort seems like it would have a very poor rod to stroke ratio less than 1.5 and would not like...

409 block Thanks Bob I'll be in the market shortly for one of the new blocks still saving a little money for it. I'am sure I've got a little time I don't expect them to be ready for sometime. Maybe you and Lamar should get together he might would cut the block up for you that might speed things...

409 block Bob how hard would it be to add webbing to the the lifter valley of the aluminum blocks I was thinking there mite be a problem with high compression engine's (14.1 or higher) or one that run no2, blower, turbo's from the added stress's placed on the block vers a cast iron one. Second...

2'in headers Aubrey is dead on with the header size's with these engines even the smaller cube motor's a rule of thumb to follow with header selection is the exhaust valve dia. plus 10% will give you a place to start and you will usually end up going bigger to find the best power standard...

Thanks Guys the 63 has a 656 block .060 over eagle 4 crank eagle 6.385 rods Pro-gram 4-bolt conv. center three mains and the front main Bob's heads and a LW 690 style intake and a set of Hooker comp-plus headers for the time being. I still have a lot to do its a full body off resto that I'am...
