    Relieving that crank pressure

    Yes is does, but I have seen people say that these are only so good. To me it seems more beneficial to have a constant vacuum to pull the waste instead of a pressure control valve to need pressure to relieve the gases. My thought is the oil pressure will be the best thing to seal the rings and...

    Relieving that crank pressure

    So for my hot rod build I have been pondering some research on ridding my engine of blow by and crank pressures. From what I've seen people just weld in a vacuum to each valve cover and hook that to an electric vacuum source then through a oil seperator to catch the oil mist. Has anyone used...

    Valve spring calculations

    Eddy didn't say on their website so I went with it recommending for coil bind seeing that the cam they used for the original set up was in the mid .400 lift range. But I haven't seen a manufacturer that states anything on whatvyouvsaid but I could be wrong. I'll keep digging and see or give them...

    Valve spring calculations

    Hey Guys, Just recently posted my engine build on a different thread (Under The Struggle - first engine build) and while i was reviewing and researching my products list for my new 388 c.i. build i noticed that my cam vs. valve spring max lift was a tad bit close. Actually it's(Cam @ .534 max...

    First Engine Build

    Yeah I'll go ahead and grab the 1 3/4 ones i thought I was going too small. I'll just put the 1 1/2s on my 00' escalade 5.7. Stripping the emissions anyways!

    First Engine Build

    I had to go up to .060 over since the bore when I brought it to the machinist was .030 over. I asked for .040 but they said they can only go .060. So I took the hit. I'm looking at a 400 crank that has manufactured jurnals for the 350 block. Here's a parts list that is just brain thoughts so...

    First Engine Build

    That's why I shouldn't listen to crazy people they said the blocks are the same between 350 and the 400. Guess I'll go the [email protected] over then. I know that'll work fine with the kit. Thanks for the reply though.

    First Engine Build

    Hey guys, I have an interesting engine build with random question that the experts may know. So let me spill the beans on my project. I have a 85' 350 4 bolt main block. Just sent it to the machinist, and they bored it .060 over. Here is where it gets interesting. I've been curious if the 400...

    Good by A/C...but what about these wires!!!!

    Thanks for the info paw paw I believe this is exactly what I need. I won't be welding any since I don't have a welder. Probably cut up some aluminum and rivet it up. Keeping the original core and supporting parts, but the a/c and all its buddies are goners. I'm looking for that simple, clean and...

    Good by A/C...but what about these wires!!!!

    Hey guys! I have the left over remanence of my a/c system to deal with. Does anyone know of a decent thread or idea of which wires to remove from the engine bay/fire wall? I'm keeping the heater core, but no A/C so I can clean up the engine bay and utilize a few Ponies for my build. Any...
