Same issues/processes as for the Bear blocks; time and money.

Re: Bear Block Motors’ 392 Hemi Block
These typrs of projects are HUGELY expensive and there is never a guarantee of capturing even the initial investment let alone actually making a margin. Some projects can drag on for years (I have several that way) being attended to as time/money permits.

With the lifter sitting on the base circle (heel, back side, whatever) open/extend the pushrod until all slack is gone but the puck has not yet moved. Now, open an additional 1 2/3 turns (at 32tpi this gets ...

Re: 331 Cylinder thickness
Maybe I'm just old and thick headed, but why does anyone want to make giant bore cuts on these engines? You can easily exceed the perceived gains in power simply by using forged pistons at 10:1 compression. The standard bore 354 castings that are on the market may or may not actually make the 9:1 as...

Re: 354 bore limit
Swept volume determines the compression ratio. A longer stroke has more swept volume. Assuming that the combustion chamber cc is constant, then it goes kinda like this: A 354 has a swept volume of approximate 44.8 cubic inch or 734 cc. This is the volume of the cylinder. Imagine that you will squeez...

I can't offer any help with the A230...but the spacer ring has been used successfully for years and will not "fall out" if properly machined/installed; check your existing bearing retainer for concentricity and if needed turn down your existing bearing retainer od as needed to make it 'round'.

There are only a couple of opportunities to use a late trans and early bell, yours being one of them. In many applications the truck bell is just too big. In other swaps, like a 5-speed, nothing matches. T-5? input shaft is too short for the truck bell. AX15? stock bell is not used but a block adapt...

Re: Piston ID Help.
Jahns often put their name on the inside, so if it is bare then look for a number of some kind. It is obviously higher than 8.5 since they were flat-tops. If they will fit in your bore as you had wanted then hook up a rod and crank and check the down fill volume to determine dome volume. Easier to m...

Re: Head gaskets?
There are three distinct head gaskets for the 331-354 and 392, and not based on displacement. If you take the time to actually look at the photos in the HAMB link you can see that there are physical differences with regards to the location of coolant passage holes as well as the dowel pin diameter. ...

Thanks for the plug George!
FWIW, my adapter also uses the oem inspection cover as well as any post 67 type starter.
We also can provide forged pistons and will be [u]very[/u] competative on price.

Yup, typical military designed for wet operations. Be sure to keep the drive shaft with the dizzy as it is 'special'.
Note here, some of the units are 12 volt and others are 24 volt.

An EarlyHemi will be as reliable as the quality of the rebuild. No, rebuilds are not cheap, budget for about $5k and be selective about the shop you employ.

Your '53 had solid lifters!!?? with adjustable rockers or adjustable pushrods? Very unusual. Your 53 parts will fit on a 54 block, no problems. Use the hyd lifters. Caution here...verify the size of the pushrod tip vs lifter. Your hydraulic lifters will have a 0.125" radius seat. What do you plan to...

Re: 354 stroker
Good deal on the cranks. Two thoughts: if you try to offset grind the 54 crank that much then you won't have much left...to use the 92 crank in a 54 block then start whittling. You will need to turn everything down to match the 54 dimensions.
Its been done, just alot of machine time.

I'll second some of Marts observations. We have been using stock manifolds for many years, long before any alum parts were available. Open the throttle bores to match the Holley base (1- 11/16") and if you use a Holley put a bolt pattern adapter on top. Over the years we have had good success with 7...
