1979 Big 10 Engine & Transmission Upgrade
My new goal is to make my Big 10 run 11.50 ETs at the drag strip. We did a complete rebuild of my Turbo 350 transmission and found several things my previous builder did that will slow the truck down, I believe the trans rebuild will be worth at least .2 off my ET. My new engine will be a .060...- Mark Jones

I had close to 30,000 miles on the 327 when I sold it for 5300.00, it gave me great service, I couldn't have had 2000.00 in it intake to pan, and my 12 year old son at the time built most of it. I didn't have 5.13 gears in it for all 30,000 miles.- Mark Jones

"Who drives a 5.13 gear as a daily? Lol" I do every day if the weather is ok, and I like it a lot, I even drive it to the dump. I can assure it happened, its not a big deal to me, the 350 going in there next which will be quicker/faster. My runs were made at little river, feel free to see it...- Mark Jones

I run a 5.13 gear with a 30x9 tire, I should have went with 5.38s, but I'm building a 355 for the truck and the 5.13 should be fine. The 327 was mild the 355 will not be mild.- Mark Jones

New sbc 400 blueprint engine keeps fouling plugs with gas
I had a car with a MSD HEI, I often would wash the engine in the car wash. It started fouling plugs after a while, I would replace the plugs and they would foul again, it was the ignition, since then I had a customer with a HEI, same problem.- Mark Jones

Up date: My new best is 12.44 @ 106 shutting off early, around 1200 feet, 1.71 60 foot. Were going to build a 355 next seeing the 327 has about 30,000 miles now, used pretty much as daily driver now.

He's got enough problems there already, if the lifter bores are pitted like the rest of the block your going to be going oversize with the lifter bores.- Mark Jones
