I have been collecting marine parts for a 392 58C conversion for my project http://www.banderlog.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2143 I am currently looking for a bell housing that will fit my 392 and receive a Borg Warner Velvet drive marine transmission 71C or 72C. Install the flywheel on the crank fl...

How much do the heads flow, what are the cam specs, what manifold are you using, how fast do you plan to turn the engine, what size are the headder tubes and collector, what trans in car, and how much does car weigh? The fuel delivery system is also a component in feeding the beast. All these affect...

I do not need to check, we have the hood completed, matter of fact, we are doing a second simular one next month for a guy in South Carolina. :D I use AutoFab race chasis shop, a fulltime professional sheetmetal fabrication shop, for anything I do not want to do myself. :D They can make you one, nee...

When you assembled the engine did you mark to 0 whatever you are using as a reference (balancer?) at top dead center of number one with the cam center lined at the reccomended degree level? With the intermediate shaft installed so you can check it is installed properly. Your distributor, are you pos...

"It sounds like the oil pump is the same as the 331 but the cap is taller for some odd reason:

To push the pump down into the back of the full rear sump truck oil pans.

nice used one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HEMI-1955-DESOTO-4-BARREL-INTAKE-MANIFOLD-STAT-HOUSING_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ34198QQihZ013QQitemZ230048799332QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW reasonable shipping also. one needing a little work: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Desoto-Early-Hemi-Low-deck-4-bbl...

You should be able to bore it to 4.00 bore, that is 62.5 thousands over, to be safe sonic check the block.

400HP is well within the output power range of the engine with the correct compression increase, cam, head/valve work, intake and exhaust manifolds, and carb.

Some guy in LV NV was making Cf parts a couple/few years ago, for Chryslers.

He told me he had lots of interest but no one would pay the prices he needed to get to make them. He made 1-2 sets and ended up selling them at no reserve on eBay, got 600-700 for them, then quit.

they are not interchangeable, Mallory uses different components than Chrysler.

You may be able to get the entire dist converted if you want to rebuild that old dist. Cost would probably be more than a good used newer unit.

"Can the rear main cap and oil pump from a small block Dodge be used instead?"

Nope, not possible.

No difference, just later casting.

If you need covers for 331-354-392 Jeff is usually backed up 6-8 weeks. If you need 426 style I have a polished set from Billet Fabrications and the polished ARP 12 point ss bolts. I also have the modified spark plug tubes needed for their use. 301-277-4433 Here are the others I know that make them....

I use a small tank built into a stand that sits on top of the Hilborn units stacks. It gravity feeds a barrel valve, feeding 8 individual lines, that drip into each individual stack. I can adjust the flow with a shut off petcock. Like the sprint car guys use, or when I don't have it handy, a Zep spr...

Perhaps the guy who makes your custom pans...as stated in your other post? :wink: I asked him first, he does not make a kit, just complete new pans. I even asked Billet Farbication, they do not make any steel pan parts either. Those two are where Titan suggestd I try. I just wanted a kit for the ki...

Do you know where these block mounted parts are available for 392s with Nicson mounts?

The Nicson mounts take up most of the lower space.

I always used the distributor Hilborn drives and they are not below the fuel tank.

Thanks Tom, I was asking for different peoples priming methods, what do you use?

What system/method do you use to prime the injectors on start up?

Has anyone ever made a "kickout kit" that can be used/ added to a pan on a 331-354-392 stock oil pan so one can use a Titan oil pump?

When installing Milodon splayed 4 bolt main caps on 331-354 or 392 block the cap ends extend into the oilpan rails. The stock pans' rails need modification. I usually just get a custom pan made. Has anyone ever made oil pan rails that can be used as a direct replacement and just welded into a stock ...

The origional question dealt with the head to block dowel pins, nothing else. You or anyone else does not need those pins. Some times when using 331 or 354 heads, or after market heads, on a 392 block they wil not even line up, when there. When one or both are cut they sometimes will not fit period....

hi i am trying to find out if a hemi out of a 1958 two ton dump truck is it aworth wile canadate motor for a rat rod project or not as the motor has alarge truck trans conected to it and is it posable to bolt a conventnal trans to it . or is the bellhousing larger or am I wasting my time on this on...

Anyone interested in how we built an K&N air filtered, 6 inch cowl induction, fiberglass hood to go over a 572 KB Hemi with a Hogans Tunnel Ram with twin dominators? (This will work on any hood.) :D We are going to seal under the bottom with a scoop tray and foam. We did it with our own design a...

If you convert it to use in an automotive application you will need to find one of the very early timing covers to cover the 2 lower water holes and have the crank welded to put a timing gear step on it.

Yes you can still get sodium filled exhaust valves, they very good at keeping the exhaust valve stem cool.

What trucks had a 392? None, and I'm sure Tom knows that also. I suspect he was just giving El Coolmino a heads up on something he needed to watch for and educate him a little in the process. :) So it helps to know a truck 331-354 crank is drilled when someone asks about a 392 combination? Oh OK th...
