The weight difference between a 60's 302 block and the Explorer block is 12 lbs. Never compared the weights of the 28 vs the 50 oz cranks, but...
I guess you've never been "whopped" by a small block then. Back in the 80's when I had my 67 427 Stang, I got "whopped" by a 340 Duster. When we...
But maybe not to the same spending level as a big block. The amount spent would go up with the torque output. Ditto with the front suspension....
All this is fine but nobody but I have pointed out that this is all moot unless you can apply that power and torque to the ground. Whatever you...
yea, 'cept when you have to much torque for the tires and suspension to handle, then you'll get left at the line by a small block. My 331 makes...
That's the long bolts, not the short ones. Shorts are too short. Or use any full shank 7/16"NC bolt that's about 3-4" long if you don't have the...
That's what I did with my 331. I fabbed a bracket from 1/4" aluminum plate that bolts onto the water pump, that extends off to the driver's...
There are a hundred ways to V8 a Ranger. I didn't use a kit. And it depends on what year model you start with and what your ultimate goals are....
Before you reinstall it, get 4 of the old style full shank small block head bolts and cut the heads off, then chamfer the cut ends on a bench...
The Holleys on my 3x2 have never leaked and they've been together now for 12 years. Back in olden times, before they got rid of the old cork bowl...
I went with a Professional Products #10700 last year, so far no problems with it. It's very quiet, you can only hear it run with the engine turned...
Don't know about HP demand, but there is a penalty to pay in the friction at the pump lever/eccentric. Also if your car sits for long spells...
The you've never had a 331. It makes plenty of power and torque.
You'll be surprised but it's a simple and cheap 30-35 gal/hr electric low pressure pump . I ran a Purolator this size for 10 years in my 89...
Looks similar to the Mc Cleod unit I have (which is about 15 years old now) but has a longer body. It has different hydraulic fittings too. Mine...
I hunted my setup down on the net and bought it from a guy in Indiana who had only run it for a year. Paid $1100 shipped. ($100 for COD shipping)...
You're build is similar to my 331, which has the Canfield head equivalent to the AFR165's. My comp ratio is 10.4 to 1 with SRP flat tops and 57 cc...
The benefit is the ratios in the 4 speed are closer together vs the 3 speed, thus allowing for quicker acceleration and requiring less torque to...
If that's a true 390 specific Toploader, it's not a big block unit. It's a small block Toploader with a shorter input shaft. None of the 390's got...
Last couple sets of headers I installed got Copper gaskets. ZERO leaks, problems, etc with them. The ones on my 96 E150's 351 with GT40 heads ?...
