Re: pinion angle?

You should set it in relationship with the drive shaft angle not the ground. There are millions of posts on forums everywhere about this everyone has got opinions on how to do it. I would say a good starting point is around -4* you dont want too much or your u-joint might bind.

Re: Looking for chrome trim part for interior

If you want to go through all the hassle and cost we use 1/2 round brass for custom moldings, drill and tap the flat side for 4-40 screws and have them chromed when its time for install loctite the screw in and cut the head off to make the stud.

TH350,get a converter built custom for your specific combo.1-3/4" headers should be fine go to big and you might lose torque.

Re: 355 build

If your looking for torque ( especially in a heavy truck) I would do a 383 for sure. We had a nice basic one we put in a camaro, pump gas, hyd flat tappet cam,vortec heads, chinese air gap made 430 hp at the flywheel. I would run the th350. IMO

Re: Lexan Windows - Is Marguard worth it?

When I was looking for lexan I was told not to get the Margaurd because if it does scratch ( and it will) you cant buff it out because of the coating.Non coated can be buffed.

Re: winter changes/upgrades

Todd do you think you had a hard time welding the collectors because they were coated? I know you ground it off but its seems sometimes coated metals are just a big PITA.They still look good as does the rest of the car :thumb:

Re: rocker shaft

Maybe I'm missing something here, but the only time I've used adjustable pushrods is during mock up to figure out the correct pushrod length. Unless there's something I don't know about that's all they are used for in race applications. John he has a 360 mopar engine the stock configuration has sha...

Re: rocker shaft

Sounds like you already have a set of 360 heads with stock shafts is that correct? If you have the intake etc to go with the heads use them, if you have to buy everything anyway get the Magnum heads they are pretty good and as you know have studs for easy rocker adjustment instead of adjustable push...
