I used SD's Old Faithful cam 236/245/112 in my last 455 at 11.3 to 1 compression. It was pretty "tame" at idle making 13.5" vacuum at 750rpm's with only 10 degrees initial timing. Fine on pump gas...

7/8" master cylinder and go smaller (3/16") on brake line to the rear is my advice going manual. Manual works great when set up right.

There was a guy who parted out Pontiacs a few miles from my house. He sold me a set of coil springs that came off a 66 or 67 Lemans that still had the ID tags on them. The fronts said 'Moog HD' and...

I am trying to find my notes from 25 years ago in regards to the valve to piston clearance deal, but here’s what I recall off of the top of my head.

Not really because the 421 block has a pretty robust casting compared to the 389s. However that much overbore kind of diminishes the value to a certain extent. When I bought my 421 it was standard...

Absolutely not 421 pistons. The valve reliefs are completely different on a 421.

The valve reliefs and dish shown are what forged 428 replacement TRW/Sealed Power 12cc pistons all look like.

Standard bore size is 4.09375” for the 421.

4.120” is standard bore for the 428.

4.160” is +.040” for the 428 pistons so you’re poking that 421 .06625” over which seems excessive unless the...

I don't think it's a "shorter chain" when you're buying that type of timing set. At least that's how it is with Rollmaster. With those .005 and .010 sets, the chain is the same as in the standard...

I've been really happy with the Eastwood manifold coating in spray cans. It lasted longer than the powder coating I had done and is easy to touch up if you need to.
