    Engine swap header question

    Thank you Brother for the blessing. and let me send it right back at you, with a stowaway; read Revelation chapters one thru 3, and chapter 12, then Matthew 24:40 with, Luke 17:34. Pray for understanding, to be able to put it all together. the result may be, IMO, the most important words in...

    Engine swap header question

    lol, I like you Russ, I hope it all works out for you. Call anytime. I'm gonna delete this thread from my archives in a day or two, to make room for others. But it will stay with you, until you delete it.

    Engine swap header question

    Yeah sorry about that, lol, but tell me If I had told you in my first post to forget all that and just get a stroker, be truthful, what would you have told me? See, this is how friends help friends.

    Engine swap header question

    Amen brother, the stroker is what you need, you are gonna have so much fun!! I am not a car engine builder besides maybe a dozen in my lifetime. I have built hundreds of motorcycle/snow-mobile/ATV engines. maybe hundred of hundreds. I am 72, and have been wrenching for most of my life altho NOT...

    Engine swap header question

    BTW alloy heads by themselves, do not make torque. By themselves, at the same build, just swapping heads, they will lose torque. The loss is the equivalent, of an easy full point of compression from idle to about 3500 in your case, to a half a point at peak power. Don't give them more credit...

    Engine swap header question

    ...To compare to 3.55s you would need 4.19s Part-4 Stall. Ima thinking your cam is about a 262 to probably a 268. and the Ica will come in at around 64*. If I'm right, the P/V, which is a performance ratio of Pressure and cylinder Volume, is gonna come in around 126 with a pressure of around...

    A833 OD to early big block?

    I highly recommend that you not do this swap. The overdrive gear in the slanty box is quite fragile. I have blown three of them up , one with just a stock, low-compression 318. When it blows up, the pieces get into the other gears and take them out..... and then you are walking. In a truck...

    Who knows what about manual nv 4500 transmission

    I guess you have considered the gear ratios and splits? and the fact that Chevy's and Dodges have different granny gears and splits. The splits are all pretty far apart, which is not all bad with an injected Magnum......... I guess. But with a carburated version, you'll lose that long-runner...

    Engine swap header question

    If you are gonna assemble a short-stroke, hi-rpm engine, with a long-period cam; say with more than 60 degrees of overlap, together with small-chamber alloy heads, that engine is gonna be a little soft on the bottom........ maybe not for lack of Compression ratio, or cylinder pressure, but for...

    74 d100, 318

    ...up the fuel-line, which allows the fuel pump to suck air? If/when I am forced to use them, I use two of them side by side, with the heads offset 180* to prevent that. Also; If I can prove that no rubber lines are sucking air, and that the hard lines are clear; then I remember, that the fuel...

    2nd gen ram mileage/mpg improvements

    By your description of blow-by. my guess is If the fueling is half-decent accurate, which the fuel mileage is pointing to, then either. 1) the plate on the bottom of the "keg" is sucking crankcase fumes, or 2) the oil rings are, wore out or stuck, or 3) the compression rings are, wore out or...

    2nd gen ram mileage/mpg improvements

    I'm guessing, at least 3/8ths inch. IIRC, I paid $495 for them, in 1999, plus shipping into Canada; and the dual 3" exhaust was about the same. This system is still on the car with only some minor rust-thru in the valleys of the merges. Car was a DD until 2005/6. Every fall I would swap a 318...

    2nd gen ram mileage/mpg improvements

    IDK if there is or not, I kindof doubt it. I don't think there can be. But there is a formula for computing fuel consumption to Power. As in, if your particular chassis requires "X" amount of power to go, "Y" mph, then the amount of fuel for that situation, can be calculated. Somewhere I once...

    2nd gen ram mileage/mpg improvements

    Yeah, the secret is in the gaskets, and having thick flanges. The hot/cold cycles just do that. My TTI headers have about the thickest flanges I've ever seen, and the last set of gaskets that I bought, are the the thickest I've ever run. Together they are the best sealing chit that I've ever...

    2nd gen ram mileage/mpg improvements

    Yahbut, What is the ECM reading? As far as I know, there's two different sensors; one for the gauge and another for the ECM. You can't know what the ECM is seeing, until you put a scanner on it.. I'm still stuck with why the CEL didn't come on with the headers sucking air. I'm pretty sure...

    2nd gen ram mileage/mpg improvements

    Well; that should have triggered a lean condition, most likely by turning on the CEL, and registering a code or a couple to several codes. I cannot imagine a situation why it would not turn the light on, unless the engine is semi-permanently stuck on the warm-up program. If it was in limp-in...

    2nd gen ram mileage/mpg improvements

    I have heard that you can download an app for your phone, but I'm not a techno-geek, so you're on yur own with that. lol The problem with running high tire pressures is two-fold; IIRC you are running 20s? 1) the ride with low-profile tires is harsh enough; and it only gets more harsh, with...
