Re: What's your street carbueration?
mart, I understand what you are saying. I guess what I want may not be obtainable with the 2-4 set up, but yeah, I do love the WOW factor with that set up :) . I want the WOW factor and driveability, which I reckon is wishful thinking. I know about the 'old fart' thing. I have been wanting a hot ro...

Re: What Temp should 392 run at normally?
I have a fan and shroud. Today I had the car out on Woodward for the dream cruise and noticed while I cruised at about 50 mph the temp would rise steadily to 210+ degrees but at lower speeds it would lower the temp to around 185 to 190 degrees. Even in stop and go traffic it was around 190. This is ...

Re: What Temp should 392 run at normally?
I'm running without a hood right now. The radiator is as large as I can get in the car it is a new griffin aluminum two row with the large tubes. I was running about 200 most of the time but being less than 200 miles on a new engine I was thinking it maybe would drop some with breakin miles of aroun...

What Temp should 392 run at normally?
I've got a 392 in my 40 ford and it is newly rebuilt top to bottom running 10:1 compression, 292 duration cam, BBC water pump, and a griffen aluminum rad with a 16 inch 2700 cfm electric fan, and a 160 degree thermostat. The temp seems to hit 180 degrees within minutes and then hover between 190 and...

Re: 331 HEMI
There is good advise here on what to think about before you take the plunge and buy the 331. I would first find a shop that can do a good job with your hemi. Go over what you are looking to get out of the engine performance wise and find out the cost for the rebuild for your requirements (out the do...

Re: New to this site. Hello
Danny, welcome aboard. I have purchased most of my parts for my rebuild from Bob Walker, also got alot of good advice as well. This site has many knowledgeable people and from your background it looks like it will be even a better source of info for the old hemis.

Well I thought I would update this so what I found when I pulled the engine apart is unbelieveable. First was the engine was not cleaned internally, second, was the number two cam bearing was in number three position(reason I was not getting oil to left bank), third oil passages had crud in them and...

I'd think that would be enough! I recently picked up a rebuilt 331. The seller had someone build it, pro mechanical type I'd assume, but evidently not a Hemi guy, as the dowel was missing. George, You hit the nail on the head. Pro built does not mean perfect. One part in wrong and you have what I h...

When installing number 2 and 4 cam bearings, note that each has 3 oil holes in it. Often, one is larger than the other two. If so, the big hole goes toward the main bearing and one of the other holes will line up with the oil passage to the top of the block when the bearing is installed properly. T...

I thought about drilling the cam bearing but I realized that could just lead to more problems with shavings going where they are not suppose to go. I have to pull the engine to replace the cam bearings anyway so I figure there might be something else that was missed during assembly and I want to rec...

1) yes. 2) NO. 3) it's possible to install the #2 bearing in a position where the cam gets oil...but the rockers don't. What procedure is required to pull the bearings and install them from the front? What tool is needed? I've always had a machine shop install the cam bearings so I'm not sure on th...

Where you might not have been getting oil in the first place, did you make sure the rocker stand with the oil passage is in the right place? Yes, I verified the stand was in the right position over the hole for oil. After some discussion about the oil galley plug it was thought that my oil pressure...

At the back of the block is the cam plug. On the left side, lined up with the dist.,is a oil plug, behind that is the intermediate cam gear. With the int. shaft pulled, you can see the plug he's talking about. If it wasn't in place I'd be suprised if you had any oil pressure :o One common trick is ...

lifter noise or I thought it was.
I have a 392 which has what I thought was lifter noise, but when I pulled the left side valve cover there was metal shavings and one push rod was chewed up as well as a few rockers and the head surface was bone dry not even a hint of oil. I know i ruined a set of rockers, shafts and push rods. The e...

I had the same problem with mine using studs. If you already bottom tapped the mounting holes then you need to cut the studs down or get the hotheads covers they have plenty of clearence for the studs but you lose the original look when doing so. Make sure you have a mearsurement from the valve cove...
