Long story short - I am thinking about buying a car and wondering about the engine build. It was owned by an old hot rodder and he has passed away, and his daughter who inherited the car is a good friend of my girlfriend. She doesn't know anything about the engine other than a plaque in the...

Ok guys, I didn't build this engine I've inherited it with a new car that I bought. The problem is that the engine just isn't making the numbers, I've had the motor dyno tuned and I'm underwhelmed with the performance (180hp with 260 torque) to the rear. for a 383 Chev that's on the low side...

Hello, I am brand new to this site so forgive me if I go into too much detail. I am working on my first project by myself. I bought an 85 chevy c10 with a 305 sbc and ZZ4 L98 heads. After tearing down the motor I found aftermarket pushrods (EnginePro 7.900") broke right through one of the rocker...

I came across an engine with casting number 3970010. I have tried to figure out what this engine is from, (I know is is a 2 bolt main from pulling the pan and looking) and am wondering how much juice I can expect from it with a simple rebuild job. I am a newbie. I have been unable to find any...

Let me start off by stating that I come from the import world, I know a fair bit about fixing engines and have put a few together but am new to building them. My uncle recruited me for a project, building a 350 for a car that he found. He said he wants about 450hp out of it, and wants it to be...

I'm making plans to to build either a 289 or a 302 with a manual tranny for my 1962 comet. The 170 six just isn't blowing my skirt up. My question is, which engine would I get the most out of for the least amount of money? Which would be a better ending product? Ideas for a build? Originality...

Don't know where to start with all this so I'll just start. I've got a 1950 Streamliner in desperate need of some more cubes. I'm looking for a solid Pontiac block to get started and am realizing the 455 I thought I'd use is becoming hard to find. They're out there, just pricey. I'm not in a...
