Koehler Injection, Dept. DRO CHROME MOLY WELD ENDS With this announcement of their new Driveshaft Division, Strange Engineering has created some break-throughs in driveline technology. These include a Solid 1350 U-Joint, 17-4 Stainless Steel Strange Transmission Yokes, Strange Chrome Moly 1350 Pinion Yokes, and to compliment the quality of the new 4130 Chrome Moly Drive Shafts, a Steel 4130 Chrome Moly Weld End is now manufactured by "The Rear End Guy" in Chicago. Drive shafts have always been a concern when the shock of massive horsepower attempts to twist, bend and rip its components apart. The Driveshaft Division at Strange Engineering has addressed all these topics with the latest Heat-Treated Forged Weld End made of superior Chrome Moly Steel and manufactured to fit the super size 1350 U-Joint. Custom driveshafts are offered for all applications from Performance Street up to the ultra-horsepower Pro Mod Drag cars. With Strange Engineering's diverse supply of quality cast steel yokes, weld ends and .083" wall steel driveshaft tubing, our new 4130 Chrome Moly Steel Models offer the racer another dependable Strange Driveline Product. Offered as complete assemblies or as separate components, for a specific quote on all your driveline requirements, contact: Strange Engineering, Dept. DRO "BULLETPROOF" NITRO-CARB™ STEEL ROCKER ARMS
FROM CRANE Extensive testing under strenuous conditions showed Crane's new Nitro-Carb™ rocker able to survive millions of cycles with a 350-lb. open valve spring load without any failure! Other important features include accurately maintaining rocker arm geometry, and a "long slot" design to accommodate higher lift camshafts. Special 1.6 ratio models for small blocks provide increased power through amplification of net camshaft lift. Crane Nitro-Carb™ steel rockers are available for virtually all big block and small block Chevrolet applications, including new self-aligning style units for 1988-1998 5.0L and 5.7L engines. Oil-grooved pivot balls and adjusting nuts are included. For additional information contact MANLEY "GENERATION II" CUSTOM MADE STAINLESS
STEEL VALVES The first step is selecting the appropriate blank based on stem diameter. Manley offers a wide selection, ranging from 5.5mm stems for import applications to .3415" stem diameters. Next, determine the desired head diameter, along with seat and margin widths. They can go from 35.5mm to a whopping 2.424" head. Finally, specify the desired length, as well as groove type and location. Manley "Generation II" custom valves are available in XH-426 intake and NK-842 exhaust materials, similar to "Race Master" series valves, or more rugged XH-428 and NK-844 alloys employed in Manley's incomparable Severe Duty ® series, as well as Inconel and all offer hardened tips that are compatible with rocker arm valvetrains. Clearly, they can be made for virtually any application! For additional information call 732-905-3366, or send $5 for a postpaid copy of the firm's big 154-page 2000 catalog to: Manley Performance NEW "LITE" VERSION OF WORLD'S MERLIN BLOCK Both blocks accommodate standard Chevrolet components, and feature a two-piece "Mark IV" rear seal. They are shipped with a 4.490" bore, and can be enlarged from there. Bottom end security is assured through the use of billet steel splayed 4-bolt main caps with ARP® studs. A priority main oiling system also contributes to improved reliability. Additional enhancements include solid front and rear bulkheads, extra webbing, reinforced lifter bores, blind tapped head bolt holes, intake valley head bolt bosses and solid pan rails. They are precision CNC-machined and manufactured under QS-9000 certification. Merlin™ and Merlin Lite™ blocks are available in a variety of deck heads, and a choice of stock or raised cam location. The cast iron blocks come in 9.800, 10.200 and 11.625" deck heights, while the aluminum blocks can be obtained in 10.200, 10.600, 11.100 and 11.625" decks. Also available from World are the economical Merlin II cast iron blocks ( 4.250 and 4.500" versions), plus an incomparable aluminum "mountain Motor" for use in 800-plus c.i.d. applications. Call World Products at 810-939-9628, OIL PUMP PRIMER KITS FROM ARP® The kit consists of a precision CNC-machined chrome moly steel primer shaft (rated at 170,000 psi) designed to provide years of reliable service, as well as a special aluminum sleeve unit that accurately positions the shaft on center line. Deluxe Chevrolet units feature a CNC-machined galley plug to insure prelube of the valvetrain. Now available are kits to fit small block and big block Chevy and Ford engines.

Make
sure only fuel gets into your gas tank with this funnel from Koehler
Injection. The unique fine mesh screen separates water from gasoline,
methanol, ethanol, nitro, diesel, kerosene or mixed 2-cycle fuels. Funnel
sizing is purposefully small to keep the volume low and consistent.
Fuel goes into the tank and water stays in the funnel. It will even
keep pollen from entering the fuel tank. Two sizes are available from:
Strange
Engineering introduces the new Forged Chrome Moly Steel 1350 Weld Ends
for driveshafts.
Engineered
for use in racing applications where rules require the use of "stock
type steel rockers," or for high performance street use, Crane's new
Nitro-Carb™ precision die-formed steel rockers are 3-5 times stronger
than stock! With significantly increased surface hardness and superior
wear characteristics, pushrod cup and fulcrum failures common to OEM
units are eliminated.
For
many years, racers and professional engine builders have requested a
myriad of unusual-sized valves from Manley, many requiring hardened
tips. Until recently, only large volume orders could be considered,
but now, thanks to advanced CNC technology and Manley's new "Gen II"
valve program, manufacturing short runs of custom-sized stainless steel
valves easy.
The
highly regarded Merlin™ cast block has been joined by a new aluminum
version called Merlin Lite ™. These enhanced versions of the fabled
big block Chevy are perfect replacements for now-scarce factory units
and can be used in a wide variety of automotive and marine applications.
A weight savings of 125 lbs. is achieved with the Merlin Lite™ aluminum
block.
Those
first moments an engine runs prior to building oil pressure are critical
in terms of potential damage to rotating or reciprocating components.
That's why ARP® developed a series of Oil Pump Primer Kits that enable
the engine builder to spin the pump with a drill motor and pre-lubricate
the motor.
J.W.
Performance Transmissions introduces new E9310 aftermarket powerglide
chrome moly gears which offer durability and reliability in high horsepower
applications. J.W. Performance Transmissions designed their chrome moly
gears with affordability and durability in mind for the high horsepower
applications. The chrome moly gears are available in the 1.76 gear ratio
for use with the aftermarket gears is 2,000 HP. J.W. Performance has
also introduced in 1999 an aftermarket powerglide planetary pin set,
planetary output shaft and carrier.
Royal
Purple™ Motor Oil introduces Purple Ice™, a radiator super coolant designed
to decrease the surface tension of coolant, thereby allowing it to transfer
heat more effectively. Purple Ice™ contains Molybdate, an exclusive
ingredient that provides a protective coating on all aluminum parts,
thus preventing corrosion and erosion.
