Iron Resurrection is one of my favorite body shop shows, along with Bitchin' Rides - exceptional talent on both of those shows.

That's what I'd like to see. Dyno numbers give you an idea of what you might expect, but if you see one of those high HP engines running 14's at 98 mph then we know something isn't right ;)

I trust the advice on here because it's somewhat 'peer-reviewed'. There is some bias but at least I can sort through it and find some good info. I've gotten some great books from people who post on...

I got a couple of them and found them to be pretty much a waste. But if you're bored they can help pass the time a guess.

My current 455 has 76cc KRE heads, flat tops, 11.3 to 1 compression. It's been on a steady diet of pump gas now over 11 years and is fine. It doesn't like 87 octane that much, on really hot days it...

The real lesson here is, don't use 50 year old hardware. I gave away my 'bolt bucket' for this very reason years ago.

The timing cover bolt kits are inexpensive, and good insurance. You don't need...
