Most everyone you ask will have different - sometimes contradictory - ideas about the best way to break in an engine. Whichever break-in oil you use, it should be changed right away. Recommendations

Fuel starvation on hard right turns is the classic symptom of side pivot Holley carburetors. The float level may be set too low and is exacerbating the problem, and/or low fuel pressure caused by th

I can't believe there is any relation between timing and breaking the rocker stud. My first guess would be the rockers you are using don't have enough slot clearance for the bigger cam lift, but jus

I don't know about the Le Mans rules other than displacement class (e.g., under 5 liters), but the legend is that Rootes asked Shelby to supply the engines and asked his advice on which displacement

The biggest intrinsic difference is the heads, not the displacement. Remember, the Gordon Chittendon, Wally Cartwright prepped Larry Reed Sports Cars set an AHRA record 108.00 mph, 12.95 second 1/4 m

Normally, a 35 amp fuse will not allow enough current to damage its fuse holder. I think what happened was the fuse was the last to go and the heat was generated somewhere close by, probably at the

There were (at least) a couple of errors in my previous post regarding the Targa Florio Tiger (AHP 483B). First, the chassis tag is B9470035, not B9470012, which belongs to another works rally car A

I believe the correct ring gear is the 157 tooth C2OZ-6384-A, which fits the C3AZ-6375L flywheel. In any case, the 157 and 160 tooth gears are interchangeable. Bob

Just a few words in defense of a "breathed on" engine. Most of the things done to raise HP output also actually improve thermal efficiency, which tends to reduce the waste heat the engine has to get

This is perfectly normal. The fuse operates by melting the metal alloy strip inside when it reaches 30 amperes, so say at 25A it's already going to be pretty toasty. If you like, you could replace i
