I don't have anything written in stone just yet. My goal was to shoot for around 400hp. I'm not looking for a quarter mile car, but more of a sleeper build. Mild mannered enough for the wife to drive to work, yet still put a smile on my face when I want it to. A 351 will make that power with little ...

Prices are in Canadian. If I was paying in US funds, I'd have to decrease the price by 10%, to allow for the difference in value between the Can. and US dollar... But it would cost me 10% to convert my Canadian dollars into US dollars, so either way I'm still getting screwed at the pump.

Yes, our Imperial Gallon is slightly larger at 4.6L per 1 gallon conversion. I believe the US conversion is 4L per gallon. Regular fuel today is 1.30 per Liter which works out to$5.98 per Imp. gallon. FOR REGULAR 87 octane... Premium is usually about $0.20 cents more per liter, so its closer to $7.0...

Kinda does, doesn't it. And there are 390 fender medallions available too. What's the compression ratio for that combo? Thanks I don't know yet, as that'll depend more on what style of piston I end up using and if I decide to stick with warmed over stock-ish head or go aftermarket. My preference wo...

I've been thinking about putting a 408W in my daughter's 67 Mustang. Let me know how you like the 357 when you get it going. Thanks Funny - I picked up up a 351W last year to go into my '68 Mustang... However I'm going to go with the 390ci stroker, as its fewer parts to buy and no machine work. IMS...

Interesting. Sounds like the physics of the airflow for automobiles is different from airplanes, where the outlet area is decreased as speed increases. I'm having some trouble seeing an incremental increase of inlet pressure of less than 0.02" Hg (about 30 mph with average recovery loss) havin...

Even at such a low speed it still boils down to air movement over the fins and tubes of the exposed radiator. At highway speeds the "dynamic pressure wave" will still force more air through the rad than the fan will naturally pull. Ultimately, air movement is limited by the size of the fan...

Will that lower pulley in the 7 o'clock position clear the front pumpkin? I have found on the bb, that most cast exhaust manifolds don't clear the framerails. Nor will headers. It took a specific set of cast truck manifolds to do the job. I don't know what the situation would be for the Windsor. Ou...

I believe Ray has done this before. The hipo cast exhausts for the Windsor will cost about $275 and will be worth every penny. They will fit inside the frame rails. If you aren't really familiar with 37's, there is one caveat -- they will roll over very easily. I've had mine on its side and upside ...

When I plan for an engine swap, I remove everything from the fire wall forward, and on the M, I simply remount the front fender/rad support w/o the rad installed in it. Its easy to work around, and its plainly evident if there is a conflict of space. The fenders can stay off, so long as the exhaust ...

Just on the side, Electric fans work best with radiators designed for electric fans. Most electric fans can't pull enough air through a conventional rad that was originally cooled with a direct drive, or clutch driven mechanical fan. The mechanical fan moves far more air than an electric, so the des...

The front pumpkin on my first M37 with the SBC in it did some mild self clearancing of the oil pan on its own after installation, so I can confirm that there isn't enough room for anything resembling a cross member to pass between the oil pan/diff area with sufficient clearance at stock height. The ...

I'll give props to the 465 as well, I loved mine too. Although I'd be hard pressed to find any argument with my current NP435, its shifts beautifully with nothing but a slight "click" between gears. My SM465 seemed to have a slightly shorter throw on it though, either that or the shifter w...

The jeep T18's had the PTO on the driver's side. I forget which years also had the 6.32 gearing. Avoid the cathedral bowl Holley at all cost. I would keep the stock ring and pinion with this engine because it was my experience that the small block V8 in my 37 didn't produce enough torque to get the...

I used to run dual 2" into a single 3" pipe, with a single red bottle on each bank. It wasn't obnoxious or irritating, but it had a great sound when really getting into the throttle (ie above 3500rpm). It had better "seat of the pants" feel torque-wise over the duals I used to ru...
