I don't think the factory lid will work since the air cleaner element is very tall and extends into the scoop opening. BTW, I am not a fan of this setup for a higher horsepower car. IMO, the air...

Who put the camshaft in the engine? If the timing chain is one that has multiple advance and retard keyways, I would check to make sure they used the correct mark and associated keyway. I have had...

If I understand your symptoms right, the starter turns the engine over fine, but it won't crank up when hot. My bet is that you have a low voltage issue going to the Sniper system. In the condition...

I have used probably 40 BOP 1 piece Pontiac seals in my, and customers engines. If you follow the instructions to a T, they won't leak. Very happy with them

And, if an automatic transmission, helps by not loading the convertor which builds heat.

Absolutely the first thing to check is your spark plugs. Pull the plugs and see what they look like. If they are dark or black, then there's your misfire. If I understood you from an earlier post,...

Is this the original flywheel you took out? If so, it looks like someone, probably the people who balanced the engine, drilled holes in it to neutral balance it. Personally, I'd but a new neutral...

Are you sure your guideplates are for 3/8" pushrods? And if so, why do you need them? At any rate, if you run 5/16" pushrods, you need the same size guide plates.

One of the problems with the 370 engine is main bearing quality and availability. I actually have a 370 block and crank I'd sell. Looks to be a forged crank.
