NICE !! these are random words now, pay no attention, the message just needed to be longer.:dunno

leaving for work, I'll be back Wednesday and look at the date. See ya'll later.

Thanks again to everyone for all the input. Heath

block is a 872.

Thanks everyone, that was a BIG help. One more question. Do Edelbrock heads 333, 817, 1147 heads all share the same intake ? I saw the later heads used a different intake from the earlier heads. If I found a good deal on a 2x4 or crossram intake(:rofl) like that'll happen, would it...

Cool. couple questions. With a 409 crank, I can use my 348 rods? What about a scat crank are the rod journals the same on those of the 348? And are the 348 rods decent rods? I only ask this because their longer, and longer rods cause less stress on the cylinder walls. ( I can look these...

I like the 409 crank option (depending what a 409 crank sells for) because of the money you save in machining a 396/427 or 454 crank. The only 409 crank I've seen was on ebay for $650. I also saw a NEW 4" (454) crank (maybe scat, can't recall) already machined for a W for the same price. Hmmmm ...

I'm guessing the 333 heads large port heads? It didnt say in the casting description of them.

Thanks for looking. I've been wanting a W for years and have gave up on a 409. I finally found a 348. It already has the 791 heads. I was looking at the head description on this website and they descibed the 147 heads as identical to the 379 heads with bigger valves. I saw a bunch of threads...

I've been searching through old threads till my eye's are blurry. I've seen alot of people using 379 heads on 348's with good results, even on stroker 348's. I haven't been able to find any threads on 791 heads. In the head casting numbers section on this website it doesn't say much about the...

On charging...I always hook the charger to the battery, close the hood on a car, or put the seat back over it in a boat, or just get away from it if it can't be covered, then plug the charger into the outlet. I don't want to be around if it blows.

I don't like to free rev 2 strokes because they can take off on you , and it can be difficult to bring it back down in time. 4 strokes...it may be bad to free rev them as well, but I'll free rev my bike, after the temp come up rev to 6,000 and hold it, then a few quick blasts to the 12-15,000...

At least the 348 is an oddball motor, as well as a 409, 366, even a 302 sb, you can kind of understand them not knowing. What kills me is when you say, for instance " I need some valve cover gaskets for a small bolck chevy" now over the years I've learned that is WAAAAY to difficult for them, so...

intakes on 348/409 are interchangable aren't they ?

Jr. Thompson's Willy's for 850.00 :doh I just talked with Jr. on the phone about a belt driven, frame mounted fuel pump for my Willys.
