The reason you dont want to use the 400/455 head gaskets is simply due to bore size. The 8518 gasket has a stated bore size of 4.3”. The 326 bore is 3.72”. That leaves a lot of open space to lose...

I like this a lot. I can’t imagine anyone being unhappy with 360hp/460tq. Pretty basic parts, cheap and easy. One thing that stands out, I’m not much of a tuner, but 42* of timing is probably the...

On my 67 I have 245/45/r17s all the way around, same wheel specs. It’s fairly low and only has a minor rub when turning and in bump at the same time. But I also run over 0.5* of negative camber.
