the headers are the shorties. if your stock manafolds fit, these will.not sure on the brand. i bought them through summit. i also have a set of mopars 1.7 rockers. they are not rollers. i used them for maybe 1000 miles if that. im running a bigger cam now so i cant use the higher lift rockers.

Well I convinced Rammer to NOT sell the headers. We figured out a way to reverse one of them and be able to redo the piping from the headers to the turbo.


And who is this A$$ Clown who keeps talking sh*t?

Like no one else at the track with FAST cars hasn't tried something and blown something up here and there.

Rammer's truck is running again for now. We will continue to try things and tune it before he does a new engine.

One thing Rammer was doing was reading and taking advise from several sources. And you can ask 10 diff people at a REAL race track how they did something, and get 10 different ways!!!!

Rammer. I think when we install and mod them headers, you need to put the stock injectors back in. Then we'll use some of them extra 39# monsters to add extra fuel in the intake again. I think we can control it much better with a similar controller as running my ATV.

So chop chop with Jeremy's Rice Rocket Saturday and get to hacking your pipes! Got no time the next weekend, as we have to go to your bro's funeral!

Well Rammer did it now.

His bottom end had suffered since way back when them head gasket materials worked their way down and plugged his oil pickup screen. We spun the bearings and he threw in new ones just to limp it around until later when he wants a 360 block.


This weekend we went to go ride our ATV's yesterday each of us in our trucks and his started knocking way worse (was already knocking a little but we knew why) and he lost oil pressure.
Neither one of us brought a tow strap and I had the feeling it would not make it home (22 miles back) but he tried to drive back with me following.
1 mile if that and I got to see a smoke cloud under his truck then a stream of oil all over the highway!


Here's a pic from my camera phone...



Yes. That's a entire rod cap haging OUTSIDE of the oil pan!

I know it had to have trashed that block!

Anyone who knows of a 360 engine that has a good block and oil pan he's interested as he is wanting to do a 408.







22 miles back and his truck don't feel like anything behind my Dakota compared to my 8,000 Lb Toy Hauler! Not even enough to take it out of O/D but again look at my gear ratio :)



Here's two cameraphone videos of us looking at it!
