Want to buy TKO bell housing... Found one disregard. Please PM me if you have one to sell. Thank you Dana

That's not bearing material. I would at first think your pump is going, but you said the pressure is high, so that aint it. How long ago (miles) was the engine rebuilt? That fuzz looks very similar to a newly rebuilt engine that wasn't cleaned thoroughly before final assembly.

My vote goes to fordstrokers and Jim.

Check your damper and pulleys. Ya never know...

Not necessarily. The bearing is more than likely a "babbit" bearing, consisting of a bronze/copper base laminated with tin and lead or lead alloy which is actually the bearing surface. If it were spinning, you'd see light gray to silver flakes shaped like lighting bolts or slivers. You can cut...

There will be tell-tale crap in your oil. I'd check that right away.

The pins should be in a bag. A long one and a short one.

I wouldn't accept a rotating balance error of .5grams and higher. Most average machine shops can get inside of .3 grams easily. CHP is REALLY good with Customer Service. Just drop your questions on them, and someone who "knows" will have the answer, or someone will get you the answer as...

I now understand why you're proud of your ignorance, and heading toward stupid because you refuse to learn, even when faced with facts and proven with physics. Here's another clue for you; What's easier and cheaper to accomplish, 1.35hp per ci or 1.29hp per ci? The target is 450hp @ the...

Okay, here's what my dealer posted to me for you; So, as you can see, it's opposite what I had thought.

The guy you talked to at DSS obviously has no clue. He probably thinks an engine doesn't need air and fuel to make power either. At say 6000rpm, which engine do you think is moving more air/fuel per cycle? Now, if you want to talk about acceleration... that is a whole different subject...

Lemme ask my dealer if those pistons weigh the same. I'm inclined to say "not" due to the fact the taller compression height piston has more piston above the and below the pin.

Dealing with Coast High Performance is a GOOD THING! I cannot believe they sent you that FUBAR setup without going through QA first. Don't be afraid of the 347 over the 331. They cost the same to build, yet the 347 will absolutely walk away from the 331 in an acceleration competition.

The 347ci pistons with that stroke (3.4") require a CH of 1.090". That will be the difference in weight. That should change your bobweight imbalance correction, but since I don't balance rotating assemblies, I don't know to what extreme. The choices you have are; 1. return the whole assembly...

What rods did you get... I or H? Lightweight/ultra-lightweight or standard? You should ask the Dealer you bought them from the same question (knowing what you have in your hand) and comparing that to what they tell you. Your paperwork should include the bobweight and total weight removed or...

I suggest a standard Holley 750dp. Depends if you know how to tune. I would not use anything smaller than a 650. Again, the choke horn is up to you... I don't use one. When you have the carb installed and running, check idle vacuum before going further... if you don't have the vacuum the...

The diameter of the wheel is not "wheel base". Wheel base is the distance between the front hub and the rear hub centers. To answer your question however; The total diameter of the wheel and tire combo is what matters. Normally the larger diameter will offer better turn response and feel...

I agree. 130# springs ARE drag racing springs. The OP has posted his installed equipment, which makes his front side about 80# lighter than stock. You cannot have both a super handling road car and a drag race car setup. You will have to choose which platform you want more of and less of the...
