Oh the saga of FURYIOUS continues. So last week I’m finally at a point where I can start to carefully assemble the 440 short block. Checking & cleaning as I go. I noticed while cleaning that two of the cam bearings were about half way covering the oiling hole in the block & another about 1/3rd...

Ok guys the question is about flipping pistons in the bore. Yes there’s a reason for that from a performance standpoint. Yes I’ve done my research & asking here is part of that research because several of you know your way around a hot rod. Yes I’m aware of the benefits & drawbacks of doing...

Ok I pulled the center section out of FURYIOUS today. I told you guys I counted & divided the teeth to come to a 3.08 ratio. Everyone said no such thing in a 8 3/4. Ok I count 42 ring gear teeth & 13 pinion teeth & my math skills shows that to be a 3.09

While looking though my stash of 8 3/4 center sections. I only had 1 Sure Grip unit. There was no tag so I counted the ring gear & pinion gear teeth. I came up with a 3.08 gear. It’s a 489 case. Did they offer a 3.08 Sure Grip ? Never heard that ratio before.

I got this 489 case from a friend. It has a 3.55 sure grip in it. He told me he had rebuilt the sure grip unit & put new bearing in the housing. Ran it about 20 thousand miles in a work truck. He said the carrier bearing froze up. So I took it apart expecting to just replace the carrier bearings...

Ok I had some time today to work on my 66 300. With the vacuum Advance hooked up it stumbles & shakes badly when I begin to give it throttle. Diconect the Advance & it is smooth but accelerates very slow. I put a vacuum tester on it & removed the dizzy cap. It starts to move the Advance plate at...

Working on FURYIOUS. I have the 8.75 rear installed. I pulled the 4.10 center section out of my Barracuda & as expected it’s the wrong spline. So my next option is a 3.55 I have but I bought it from a friend who said it needed carrier bearings. What all is involved in replacing the carrier...

Looking at my inventory of 8.75 rears I noticed that all of them have 3 holes in the spring perch. I know the center hole is the one used for the center bolt for the leaf springs but why the other two.

I started to remove the Carter Thermoquad & realized I forgot to buy a fuel filter. I replumbed it from the tank to the fuel pump with 3/8 aluminum line & was going to add a inline filter just forgot. So I can installone here at the carb. Does anyone know a part # for filter that screws into a...

Ok on my D440 truck project I had a took my driveshaft to a local driveshaft shop. Told him it was too short & I needed 52 inches center to center. He wrote it on the driveshaft in that yellow marker. He called this morning & said it was ready. Picked it up & never gave it a moments though to...

this is a very useful chart to help understand vacuum readings. You guys who are not mechanics & have a running driving old car you want to fix up. This chart can save you some time & give a better idea on the engines condition. I've used vacuum readings for years. Even had a gauge mounted in my...

I bought the smallblock Magnum 5.9 rods off the net. They are supposed to be resized on both ends. However when I got them they have the heat marks at the small end. Looks like they where heated with a torch to help push the pins out. So do you guys think these rods where damaged. Plan to use...

72 360 LA small block. Was moving (sliding it) across the shop floor to mount on the engine stand. And I chipped the edge of the rear maing bearing cap. This is to be a street/strip engine with about 375 hp. Can I leave it like this or is there a way to repair this cap
