valve size

the usual thing is to get 54 heads. Not only larger valves but bigger ports/runners, plus the use of the 4bl intake.

can this block be saved

You could boil out the block & see what it looks like. There was an article in 1 of the Mopar Mags. They were saying that some racers sleeve new blocks for increased strenth/regidity. They also broke a hole through the wall of a 318 & sleeved it to show it could be done. If the bores are in ...

I saw somewhere a guy has his own website covering the install of a 345 in a 55(?) Dodge. went to scatpack.com & found "Moparmania" in top 10,covers the install. Also listed a German site with same name.

cams

The 331 cams have the snouts. The raised deck of the 392 is the cause of the difference in cams, 331 & 354 interchange 392 doesn't.

The tag should have info. There is a flat in front of the valley cover that may have a code stamped in it. There should be # on the pass. side rear between the head & valley cover. Does it have a modern bell housing or an overhang (long tail) like a flathead Ford?

270 heads on a poly

In theory both blocks should be the same. Are the hole not there, or just not enough clearance? One of my Chr. 331 blocks has additional clearances. Visualize a Mickey Mouse hat with only one ear.

270/315 heads

The heads are the same. They changed the intakes. that's the difference between high & low deck Dodge engines. Check out Doc Fromaders 315 build on Webrodder.

330 heads on 291

Low deck blocks use low deck intakes & high block use high intakes regardless of heads. You'll need a low block intake, or a log type that can compensate for the difference.

If the spark plug wires go into the middle of the valve covers, it's a Hemi. If the valve covers are scaloped ( wavey on the bottom) & plugs in usual location, it's a Poly. The only difference is the head assembly, pistons, & push rods. They both use same block. If it's a Poly or Hemi, the c...

Cunningham marine intake

This intake was cast iron, marked "Cunningham" & "West Palm". As stated above it is 2 logs w/ a 1bl at each end. The throttle control is choke cable w/ the housing cut away where each carb's throttle lever would attach, obviously not for auto use.

Considering that 90% or rods have a Chevy,most "general interest" mags. are 90% Chevy,& the way the TV announcers fawn over the Chevy drivers, an "any-thing-but-Chevy" outlook is reasonable. Show me a rod with a Hemi,Cleveland, or a Nailhead anyday!

Str. Rodder

It should be noted, probably on the copies, that the man who did the machine work in the series is dead. His family would probably appreciate not being called. Seems the job of cutting down the valves was a bit tedious,might be better getting them from Hot Heads.

filter adaptor

I was involved in the HAMB discussion. How much room do you actually have? If it was extremely little(sounded like it), make a plate out of 1/4 or 3/8 (possibly thicker depending on situation) & screw the fittings into it. That would seem to be the flattest profile you'll get.
