FE Technical Forum / cam bearings
« Last post by djburton on February 06, 2026, 11:08:30 AM »
Installing cam bearings. New front bearing has a notch perpendicular to the bearing, from one hole to the outer edge. Inward or toward cam thrust? In case anyone's interested, 74 block, original bearings, 2 thru 5 oil holes at 2 o'clock or 8 with the block upside down.

FE Technical Forum / Re: 3/8" pushrods
« Last post by mike7570 on February 05, 2026, 10:38:38 PM »
C9zx, I’m using 7/16 Manton pushrods which fit after a little clearancing. I marked the push rods with blue dye and rotated the engine over to find any interference, then opened the passages for clearance. The push rods were fine at lift but rubbed when on the cam base. The dye left tell tale marks in the intake and on the push rods which made it easy to know where to adjust. Different heads and rockers will have more or less interference and it’s a good idea to check during assembly.

Barry, Thanks for the additional information. I ordered 3/8 .141 wall from Smith Brothers this morning. On a side note, when double checking everything before ordering, I spoke with the people at BAM lifters about cup size. They said it is some special design allowing the use of 5/16 or 3/8 ball ends. I had never heard of that. Chuck (S)

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Muncie FERR hotels
« Last post by Rory428 on February 05, 2026, 11:56:19 AM »
I am looking at attending the FE Race at Muncie dragstrip in April, just wondering what the hotel/motel situation in the area is. Is there an "official" hotel, like  the Quality Inn in Selinsgrove PA is for the Beaver Springs event. Any recommendations, or places to avoid? How far are the hotels from the track? I have been to Beaver Springs 3 times, looking to give the Muncie event a look.

You can't argue with that kind of performance (331). I built a Shelby speck. GT350H a few years ago and used an Eagle 331 stroker assy in it. Had Trick Flow heads, Blue Thunder intake, Comp. solid cam, dual point dis. and a real K code carb. That engine was a pure joy, always eager to buzz 7000 pulling all the way!

I ran a 331 for a few years, and currently have been racing a "big bore" 347 for 6 years in my Fairmont drag car. It runs 10.0s at 133 mph in the 1/4 mile, at the end of every race season, I do a compression test, and leak down test, and after 5 years of 64-6600 RPM clutch dumps, and 7000 RPM shifts, every cylinder is 215-220 psi, and the worst cylinder leaked at 4%. So far, so good.
