I don't see what the problem with the kegger is tho. The dyno comparison between it and the Hughes intake showed the kegger making better low end. I'm just trying to build a torquey motor. I was thinking I could run big heads instead of a big cam to help my low end power.

Meh, tranny leaks are usually a culprit of a line or gasket.
Having a title is even better as you can get it registered once you're done with it. 4 barrel? I noticed the headers, that's a plus.

200k? wow, my 76 only goes to 5 digits. lol

Smaller valves are actually better for low end. Get higher intake velocity with smaller ones.

Well, I technically wasn't supposed to haul hay today, but the boys that were working and supposed to come back today after lunch were working until 5 this morning.

lmao

They aren't going to survive their football practice.

meh. I have recycled asphalt for my driveway. (the stuff they grind off the road when they repave.)

so I guess technically I have both! its asphalt, but it's gravel too cause it's not solid.

as for the bolt part...I have a nice covered shop with a concrete floor and a 10,000lb capacity twin post lift. no need for a paved driveway

besides that's what magnet trays are for anyway!

Trying to find where my question needs to go and the search continues to give me nothing.
I've got a 98 Ram with the 8.0 V10. I love my truck, but I want to cram that engine into either a sleeper or a muscle car.
(My father-in-law wants the quad cab 4x4 body to stuff his bio-diesel into.)
I'm just wondering what Mopar products would be good to start looking at that would have the engine compartment I'd need for the 8.0.
Will it fit anything that originally could have come with the 440 or larger 426 HEMI? (Understanding Motor mounts and the rest would need to be custom, of course. I'm just looking for something that would have the space back into the 50's.)

why bother? that v10 isn't that powerful. a 426 hemi would run circles around that v10...

better yet:

if you got the cashola... this is a STEAL!!!

http://www.racingjunk.com/Engines-Co...K-ENGINES.html

$15,000 for a used, complete, pro-stock race engine. 500ci.

1,300hp on all motor

you will need to run race gas in it though. no turbos, no nitrous, no superchargers...ALL MOTOR. in a 2000-2500lb car it will rocket it to 7 second 1/4 miles...

Anyone know what model Kershaw I have? No model number on the blade. I bought it from a friend who bought it from the Snap-on guy at his parents shop. I snapped the torsion bar and need a new one.

*edit*
scratch that. FOUND IT! ME GUSTA!!!
