Here is my dilemma.  To build a high horsepower Mopar or any engine for that matter you need a good foundation. As of right now there are no iron aftermarket blocks available for Mopar. You can get an aluminum Indy or Keith black (2 year wait if you are lucky). Cost around 7500$ once machining...

My engine is in a dyno ad. Note JJ's v-drive motor plate. :grin:

I would like to start a topic on boost.  F3 procharger or twin turbos. I know turbo lag is a big issue and even the procharger does not have the instant boost like a roots. With a 600 inch twin turbo will the initial torque make up for turbo lag? Burn the prop then load and start building boost...

After loosing my electric water pump and hurting it last year. 270 plus on my closed loop cooling system. It is going back together with a few upgrades.  Squared everything back up. Some Dart coatings on the pistons DC2 reflective heat barrier on the domes and DC1 anti friction coating on the...

This should wake up my buds little 598. :grin:

Sold the Belvedere. I enjoy bringing the boat south and hanging out with you guys. Trying to keep up with both was getting expensive. Decided to sell the car and keep the boat. If all works out as planned it is heading to Denton Texas. Going to get me a new truck to pull the boat with and try to...

After hurting my engine this year I decided this is the route I am going. I monitor my gauges often but did not catch my water pump failure until after I hurt it. This autometer warning system uses a shift light you can mount in your line of sight. You can get different temp and pressure...

Tired of Grackels dropping their poo in my pool. My son in law and I need to buy two pellet guns and wage a little bird war.  What's a good gun for the price?

  I run a 7520 digital 7. All parameters are adjusted from rotary switches on the end. My question should I put a small film of clear silicon or something similar over the switches and wire connections?  You can see the switches on the end and where it sets in the boat. I am going to try and get...

Found a great deal on a Hogan sheet metal intake and twin dominators for pro 1 heads. It is for a short deck. Anyone use spacers with a tall deck and how did they work out? What about distributor height? Have a tall deck distributor but I assume spacers would raise it at least another .250 with...

Ok. A little background. Blue 79 Hondo hydro v-drive. 588 Chrysler (I like to be the underdog). Now for me. I live in Missouri (don't hold that against me because I love coming to Texas). I'm a Hillbilly, a little bit Redneck, My favorite show is Moonshiners . Brazos River Rat (Billy's) brother...

It is a cast aluminum water block, full cooling. 5" bore space. 734". Can even be built for pump gas. I want one, Now how to get it past mama. Maybe if I tell her it will fit in the car and the boat.  think.gif

Bought 2 of these lightweight bilge pumps rated 1000gph. Takes a 3/4 id hose. Thinking on mounting both side by side in case one fails. My boat gets a lot of water in it when you let off. What do you think?  Will they be large enough to keep up?

Mine are weather cracked bad and need replaced. Since I tow 600 plus miles to come down can I use just a standard 195/75/14 car radial? The carlisle trailer tires are pricey and I have read some people are having issues with them.

If a person was looking to buy a vacation spot near a perfect spot to run your boat, Where would it be?
