As my grandmother-in-law says, "Never trust anyone who won't say they don't know."

Ok, so I'm a dumbass. In my post I said milling the block may require spacers between the intake and head, while the opposite is true (thanks flyinbrick). I was thinking about putting a 383 intake on a 440, that would require spacers. I was looking at a pair of raised port head that requires a...

The main reason I'm interested in a 383 is that I could get a rebuildable 383 for next to nothing. I haven't seen many 400s laying around...

I'm sorry what I meant was that the block determines the intake, while any B/RB heads should fit no problem

Thank you moper I was typing up mine while you posted yours...

I see what you're saying, but though the heads are interchangeable but the 440 has a taller deck, which means that the intake has to be wider to reach the ports. That's why if you mill down the deck for higher compression of to fix a taper, if you took enough off, you need spacers between the...

So I've been doing some "research" recently about the 383 B that's standard in just about every C-body, but just about all I can find is how to swap it for a 440. I did find a couple stroker kits here (http://www.440source.com/strokerkits.htm) and the 438 kit caught my eye. There doesn't seem to...

I noticed that your wheel studs are tack welded to the hubs... is this normal?

Yeah I think he irritates everyone but being a pompous *** is the "in" thing I guess

Agreed. He def knows his stuff... but I get the impression he would rather make something up than admit he doesn't know...And I never trust someone who cant admit they don't know...

I've been wondering about something... If Worman is so smart, why does it seem like they have to do everything 3 times?

As I recently learned in my machine tool class, even if it wasn't a plug, it wouldn't be a BOLT, it would be a SCREW. A bolt has a nut. a screw goes in a threaded hole. Not that important, I know. And I love the factory engine colors... except chevy orange...

and then theres this I feel like anything will last with fastidious maintenance

modern gas and oil eat your bearings and carb nowadays anyway, but I see your point. I was leaning more towards diesel but at this point its all up in the air. To be honest I need to bounce ideas off someone and since my wife doesn't care and my son is 3 so its you guys :)

Once again, im not a hippie, but I think this is something the car world needs to work on. We embrace EFI, turbos, direct injection, and anything else the manufacturers come up with. But if it doesn't run on a petroleum product, youre a clown. Get over it. I live in a state with NO inspection...

sorry ive been MIA for awhile... Thanks for the info. I first got this idea for an old Cadillac I nearly bought just before I left korea. If I had to guess id say 1 in 10 cars there were lpg. One concern tho... im a smoker, so it may not be worth the risk of explosion lol Another leftover idea...

This is Wikipedia so... not entirely trustworthy but should be close "Natural gas is a hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly includes varying amounts of other higher alkanes and even a lesser percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen sulfide."

Also, im a 26 year old family man starting out in the welding industry after my time in the US Army. My first car was a 55 Pontiac star chief, which I sold to fund the wedding, and ive been driving crap ever since. Speculation is all I can afford right now... But then Ive been butting heads with...

Maybe im thinking of natural gas... like they harvest from garbage dumps in CA

Has anyone done this? It would make the car a zero emissions vehicle, and use a renewable resource instead of a fossil fuel. Im not a tree hugging hippie (though I look like one), but im 26 and I want to be able to drive my classic when im 76. In 50 years in might be impossible to register or...
