    Epic Whoops thread.

    This just happened on I-95 in the next County south of me that has a few flight schools. Just a matter of time with these small planes, mark my words. I think I counted 5 small planes dropping out of the sky in Volusia County last year, some died, some didn't. This afternoons...

    I really don't have much to say on it these days. I've seen octane numbers dropping on the ethanol free gas around here, so my thoughts are on keeping compression down a little rather than up. The '70 six pack engine had a zero deck piston, compared to .017" for the 4 bbl version (or the '69...

    440 identification inquiry

    IF it is even stamped, a '68 VIN will be on the back of the block by the oil sending unit. 69 and later will be on a pad on the passenger's side of the block. A partial VIN can narrow down what the engine came out of as we know what plants built what cars for each model year. After that, if...

    Alternator Brushes

    That's how I've been doing it - for my 383 I wedge it between the block and the alternator and push the alternator out/up as much as I can while I tighten up the bolt.

    Alternator Brushes

    Catches on the fins. AFAIK, it fits everything with that style alternator. I've seen crowbars crack the cases on the alternators, so I always used to just pull on them while tightening the clamp bolt. It's a little hard for me to do that these days, so the tool comes in real handy.

    Thanks for further explaining your situation and considerations for your engine. Mission creep......yeah. I have never seen positive-deck pistons in anything other that full-on race engines, but then again I haven't seen everything. I betcha @Big_John has some useful advice. He knows...

    Electric Car Fire at my Neighbors

    I've seen a lot of irresponsible renters. Another problem is a lot of landlords won't return deposits, finding some excuse or another. From what I've seen, people renting homes around here are usually people that can't get financed to buy a house. Rent is probably going to be ~$3k plus...

    Back to sound deadening and question about that: are you happy with company Reckhorn and their products? Thanks in advance, Mika

    440 identification inquiry

    The block should have the VIN stamped into it if it's from that vintage and that will tell you what it came out of. I'm not sure where that was stamped in 1977; maybe someone can chime in here. Otherwise, check the top of the block near the oil pressure sensor or down along both sides of the...

    The engine is completely disassembled. I’ve tossed around cutting the decks, cutting the heads, thin head gaskets…… Quick, easy and cheap: .017 steel shim head gaskets, .020 cut off the heads will only get me to 9.1 CR I’m trying to avoid mission creep and do this on the cheap. Yes, the open...

    Electric Car Fire at my Neighbors

    How much could it rent for out of curiosity? It's a two or three bedroom? Agreed. A house behind me was rented for decades and I never had any problems. Then it sold and a dickhead from San Diego moved in and started a huge remodel, fought with all the neighbors, called the City and the cops...
