we went to the nsra swapmeet today and i collected the torque thrust wheels. we can fit the new tyres now. i also got a used late fe 3 bolt starter and a nos windsor one which will work by swapping the nose from the fe one if it ever fails. i bought a matching late 184 tooth flexplate from ebay this...

we wnt to the nsra swapmeet today and ashley bought some more parts for the 440. he got a mopar tunnel ram from dave billadeau (thanks dave ) and a pair of holley 650 vs carbs.
he also got a pair of m/t et street tyres, 315/60/15's. he's a happy bunny, lol

you could now wrap it with self amalgamating tape for that proper 'belt and braces' finish, lol.

i'd use tiger seal or similar to seal/glue the joins, that sticks anything to anything
neil.

it looks like the 'thin' one's been altered to fit to me. the 'fat' one looks unaltered for want of a better word. can't you alter it to match the other one?

in the time since my last post on this i'm on my 2nd (is that 3rd?) set of wheels. there was a set of centreline champ 500's (very 90's) that were 14x15 with m/t 31/18.50/15 and 4.5x15 with 155/15 for that pro street look (as i said very 90's). now i've bought a set of are torque thrusts, 8x15 and 4...

can't you mount the new silencers back to front or are the baffles inside directional like flowmasters? if not it usually won't matter which way round they're fitted.

Patinas not really the look I was going for under the bonnet Neil ;) i know mate, i was joshing with you ;) neil. Ah!! humor on forums using the written word :-k Sometimes lost in facial expressions 😁 [/quote] i know mate, that's why i didn't say ''you were a tart'' so couldn't do 'patina' ;) :D (t...

The repair isn’t the issue as I can reweld them easily enough, it’s that it will burn and the coating off them

it's fine, anyone asks just tell them it's 'patina'
neil.

DOH!!


at least you didn't find it on the motorway
neil.

yes but my answer was based on his choice between the original 318 heads and the 360 heads, both of which he says he already has. so of those 2 i stand by my choice to use 360 heads :thumbright: neil. Fair point. I managed to get a set of refurb 302's with the the 1.88 160 valves, ready to go for $...

it should be 'black friday' sale time at speedmaster soon. their ally heads are pretty close to being edelbrock copies but much cheaper. on black friday they're down to almost half price too. they have deals including the matching inlet too.
neil.

the loss of some compression with the 360 heads is more than made up by the bigger valves and port sizes. plus as mentioned there's more manifold choice for the 360 port size heads. no brainer to me. :thumbright: neil. ps your higher compression pistons will combat the loss of the 360 size chambers...
