Gotcha... Well I'd strongly suggest using technology to your advantage. The new honing machine & gas ported rings are worth 30-40 Free HP alone. Not to mention the list of other benefits. Such as double to triple oil life due to no fuel contamination & crazy efficiency...
And if your trying to...
Definitely start with a FEW junk tires as it's very very very easy to ruin a tire. Biggest issue your gonna have trying to keep the depth uniform as the tires aren't square. Then you talk about these junk cheapy tires. The sidewalls are wavey as ****!
The machine has tension adjustment on a...
Have a 15" wheel made with Correct offset & a 275/60 can Easily Be tucked.
Wheel Vintiques makes some IN America for very cheap. Car will drive way better with 15"s anyways. 95% of 14" tires are straight garbage & have been for well over a decade. Every major line dropped off 14"s
So 90% of tires already have a white in the sidewall. Even if it's NOT a raised white letter. In the pic is a 64 K that makes over 600hp. I had Wheel Vintiques special make all the wheels. The rears are a 15 x 10.5" wide with a 275/60/15 Cooper Cobra Radial GT with a period correct white wall...
Is it a real driver or a garage piece?
As you can Easily put any sized white wall on any tire...
IF it's a driver than buy a Quality tire then have a white wall cut/buffed into it. I do it all the time with BIG sticky Mickey Thompsons. Trying to fond even a decent meaty white wall in 2023.... Nope
I too have a 65 Sport Fury. Been building & tuning high-end muscle car's for the last couple decades. Spent 16 year's at the 2 largest speed shops selling for 13 year's before that... DON'T waste the $$$$ & time on the "426 wedge"
Buy a 400 block & build a stroker. What the old folks Don't get...
I too USED to swear by VHT before the buy out... Their product quality has sunk the way FRAM'S did after Allied Signal bought them. So for the last 5-6 year's we've been using Motor Coater's brush on product. FAR SUPERIOR!!
And yes Early (turquoise) is a Must in a 65 for me. I too have a Sport...
If your buying any reman over the counter pump.... NO No need for a regulator.
Majority of Holley needle/seats operate fine up to psi.
It's the poorly designed Carter/Weber needle/seat that has issue's with anything over 5.5psi as well as large pot holes
You haven't mentioned what the problem...
91 or 93 is fine. The to engine life & exhaust valve seats is lubricant.
Since the lead is missing you want to Add
TCW-3 2-stroke oil to the dry fuel of today.
The best place to start is 4gal of gas to 1 Oz of oil...
It's a well known secret that was figured out about 15-16 year's ago. It even...
Nope that rotating mass is ineffective (unless we're 7000rpm+). By using the 400 block it has a 4.34" bore size increased over the 383's 4.25"
Large bore with a long rod & shorter stroke = High Rod Ratio which = RPM loving combo.
Camshaft will be most crucial to determine powerband window...
It...
The 512 will be AWESOME with the 400 block. Many don't even require minor clearance. I have 3 on the street. 1 has been together for 8 year's.
Spend the extra $300 & do a hydraulic roller. I Highly recommend Schneider Racing or Cam Motion...
No oiling issues ever either.
I'd call A & A...
St Louis Spring has made many C body leafs for me. You want to avoid air shocks at All costs as it's 2023 & that's 1972 technology.
The silver KYB shocks alone will make your car drive completely different (much better). The KYB for Any MOPAR is the Best bang for the buck improvement PERIOD...
