    I'm building a 383 stroker. I bought a balanced 383 rotating assembly and am in the process of installing it. I'm checking the rod clearance piston by pistons with the cam tunnel. I noticed one of the rods just barely encroaches into the cam tunnel (just above the bearing circle maybe 0.125"...

    So I have selected and ordered the bottom end of my 388 stroker and have a fresh set of 062 heads I am using on it. Based on my current setup and running rpms I determined (with the forums help) that my stock converter might be going bad (11-12% slip). I have stock open 2.73 rear gears...

    I just completed a swap in my 77 from a six to a 350 sbc carb. Went to fire it finally and I'm not getting any compression in any cylinders. The 350 was torn down to the block and had been rebuilt not too long ago so I don't think all the rings could be bad. Thinking its the timing gear settings...

    Hey guys, I have inherited a chevy 350 small block. I know that it is a solid lifter cam but I don't have the cam card. Is there a way to adjust my valves without just taking everything apart and examining the cam? Is there a general starting point? Any advice would be much appreciated...

    Hey guys, I just picked up a rebuilt 454 for less than I can build one for and am looking for a recommendation for a cam. It was built 5 years ago and has been sitting in a garage, wrapped in blankets to keep it clean. I purchased it for $1100. It's a 77 with low compression (guessing 8.5:1)...

    would i be correct in assuming that when choosing an intake manifold that i should choose one with and rpm range that is close to the cams rpm range? for instance if the cam specs say 1600-5800 rpm,that a good intake for it would be like 1500-6000 rpm or idle-6000 or something like that? and...

Need to set the correct timing etc.), but when I pulled out the cam I was totally blown away at how I was unable...
