I have a set of Hooker E body 1970-1975 coated 1 3/4" small block SUPER COMP headers that were on my street/strip car for about 3 weeks or so. I paid $789 for them and would like to get $500 for them plus the ride. Clean and perfect shape except for some oil stains near the collector on the...

Quench is THE big deal. No quench, as with the pistons you have will kill the bottom end torque, throttle response, and fuel mileage. The speedmaster heads are a bargain in relation to correctly rebuilding a set of 50 year old heads. They are lighter, more powerful, and overall, a much improved...

Open chamber heads, a taller deck clearance, nonprojected tip sparkplugs, and thicker head gaskets require more timing than an optimized, tight quench area with a projected plug. Aluminum heads require more timing than iron heads due to them transferring more combustion heat into the water...

You don't need a hi output alternator unless u have efi and a big sound system. A quick revving 340 needs a larger diameter alternator pulley. That slows it down to where it normally RPMed with a stock engine. Gears and a stall convertor also needs a larger pulley. Stock alternator pulley ratios...

If a 72 Challenger tank fits I have one. TIMINATOR

Edelleyblock called it installation error. I guess the builder (not me) put the heads on upside down or something. I bought the engine (498") as an interim deal to repair and use between the 440 currently in my 72 Challenger (for sale soon), and the 512 real go fast motor that I havent had time...

Oops! That's a turbo Buick head...

Speedmaster has steadily been raising the quality of their parts for years. They admittly had some issues 15 or 20 years ago, but none lately with the parts I sold before retiring. Their heads and manifold have had zero issues in my experience for the last 20 years or so. Since we have been...

The LD4B will run rings around a performer intake. The as cast Speedmaster heads will out flow performer RPM heads. Forget the shorty headers, go with long tube headers, the torque/HP difference is a bunch, and small block fitment/clearance is not an issue at all. The short stroke 340 really...
