    Johnson or Crower Lifters

    Go with the lifters that have been performing well for you. You didn't say that the morels were doing anything you didn't like.

    Motor mounts

    This is the best way to go as this set up allows the engine to move a little bit and it is the most comfortable set up for the driver. Poly mounts are a good way to add extra stresses on an already thin walled block casting. When you stop engine rotation at the front of the block, it puts a...

    New engine almost completed

    There is one thing that I do like about those piston. Their wrist pin bores are moved over a little bit from the centerlines of the pistons. This greatly reduces their ability to rock in the bores during cold start while they are at their smallest diameter. The arrows on top of the pistons tell...

    New engine almost completed

    You'll be able to tell how much it slips by noting how much the rpm drops during a shift. If it drops a little bit, it's slipping too much. Another way to tell is to lock the converter at wot. If the engine bogs down alot and then recovers and pulls hard, your converter is too loose. If you have...

    New engine almost completed

    I hate the idea of buying an engine from someone. I want to know exactly what the compression ratio is. Those pistons are not only heavy, which is not a problem, but they have a shorter than stock compression height, which is my only complaint about them because it moves the pistons farther down...

    lt4 starter

    Both of the small wires are short and so is the large wire. I made two short jumper wires to reach the starter. This is a very powerful starter and very durable. You'll never break it.

    NGK 5430 BCR8ES found

    He's not running two different plugs based on boost, but to avoid fouling on the street. He's not making all of the power he is capable of because of octane, so for now he has a plug that won't foul and will work at WOT at his current power level. When he turns it up, he will put the other plugs...

    NGK 5430 BCR8ES found

    I still get a kick out of learning something new. I have never heard of this. I almost always have the NGK TR6 plugs in my heads because I don't like how quickly the BCR8ES plugs foul and the occasional blast from second to third gear doesn't create the heat that might cause pre ignition when I...

    They not only didn't tell us, they recommended and perhaps ( I don't know ) still do recommend the same non resistor plugs without a disclaimer. Oh, it lies to you in many ways. It tells you that you're smart, hansom, witty, and charming. At least, that's what my elixir tells me. Captain Morgan...

    NGK 5430 BCR8ES found

    I don't remember anyone touting these as some kind of magic pill that delivers extra performance. These were simply discovered when someone in our community wanted a colder plug that fit all of the criteria for aluminum heads and a stock computer. There were other plugs available that fit almost...

    A/C Questions:

    The most important thing to do is find out were the leak is or leaks are. There is no reason to replace a part that functions properly. Most of the oil will be in the compressor, so if you change that to a new one, you might need to add some. If the compressor or anything else is leaking and has...

    Morel lifters are loud

    If your stock starter made no noise when you turned the ignition switch to the start position, you probably just needed to replace the brushes. Not only is this very old/tried and true starter reliable, it will spin your engine over faster than any other starter that you can get for your engine.

    Wtb passenger quarter panel

    That 210/215 will work well. The 214/214 has XFI lobes that open very fast so they need a much stronger valve spring. There just isn't enough benefit to running that set-up. The 210/215 will be easier on the valve train.
