    Hey Rick,
    Last fall, I did some clutch work. I took the car out and really beat it up to make sure the clutch was going to work out well. When I got home, I noticed a mark on the left side pipe where the engine had torqued over, allowing the header to contact the body.

    Sure enough, the tab that's welded to the frame where the motor mount bolts up had broken. The weld failed. Not Shell Valley's fault. When I installed the engine, I had to cut that tab off and re-weld it. It was my weld that failed, not theirs. No way to get to it without pulling the motor, so I'm doing some cleanup under the hood and putting on new valve seals while the engine is out.

    I'm registered for LCS. That ought to get me going on re-assembly. See you there.

    Mike

    If the 390 block can be cleaned up at a 0.010" over bore, you can do the same thing. Also be aware that there were a few 390 blocks that were cast with very thick cylinder walls. These can be...

    On family car engines, this reasoning is good, however it depends on the cam. If there is a lot of overlap on the valve timing, the intake valve opens at the end of the exhaust stroke. Exhaust...

    A roots style blower is considered a positive displacement blower. It is not 100% efficient because there is clearances between the rotors. There are some designs where they put Teflon on the rotor...

    I think Brent's reply should be: So you want to spend $2500 to loose 125 lb and consider the 30 Hp loss insignificant. At a 4:1 weight to Hp ratio a 30 Hp loss is equivalent to a 120 lb gain in...
