There are tons of posts. You need to look harder. You need to get the piston to zero deck, work on the head for better breathing, cam it. Thats...
Using a "194" head will raise compression, but that is about all the good it will do. Once you put larger valves in it, they will be shrouded by...
Welcome to the HAMB! It won't be hard to get 250+ hp from that inline. You won't find headers (long tube) that fit your chassis. Tom Langdon makes...
Concentrate some work on the head, it will pay off in easy power. That 230 should easily hit 200 hp, 225 is not out of question. I have more info...
I would have you check a few things. 1. What is the timing curve for idle, cruise, WOT? 2. Have you drilled a small burp hole in the thermostat?...
Had a great time. Glad you put this on. Wish my shop looked like yours. I must spend too much time wrenching and not enough time organizing. Tom
Wasn't planning on the car show. Just warning about it. Still planning on heading to Marshalltown. Smoked loins,, MMMMMMMMM
Not much for replies. Hope there is a good showing.
Today I noticed, there is a car show in Tama on the same day.
I am planning on coming. Looking forward to meeting some of you guy's. Tom
I will try to be there. Can you rewrite the specifecs? Time? Date? Location? What Do we bring?
Normally a holley carb does need to be modified. For a few reasons. They need nitrophil floats installed ( I did). They need mech secondary's,...
270 Clifford cam is not ideal for turbo use, but it works. The head is one built by me. 1.94/1.60 valves, bolt in HI-FLOW lumps, ported. Just...
I think that info is "Spot On". Tom
How many 292's do you need, I can ship them anywhere.
Customnova, Thanks for seeing the inline path! The 250 being dynoed had a Clifford 270 cam and put down 285 hp with a 390 4 bbl in N/A trim....
Here are some vids to help you along. These are for the 230/ 250/292 engines. Tom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLmUO-fJtH0 walk around...
Take a look at the GM 4 cylinder 2.5 used in S10's around 87-91. They used a serp belt and it all looks like a bolt on for a 250. Tom
Valve sizes for intakes of 1.84-1.94 work great. For exhaust use a 1.6. The problem with the 194 high comp head is the valves get shrouded by...
I have found with Dyno testing and flow testing, the 194 head to raise compression is a waste of effort and will produce less power than using a...
Go with a Clifford 270 cam. It will produce good power and still be managable. Tom
Do you think it would hold up to about 150 dyno passe's? I also need alot of parts to support that engine. We can certainly do it. Alot to be...
I could set you up. Just finished dyno testing a 292 with 6 different cams 5 heads 2 intakes and more Tell me what power you want and I can give...
Like the idea of lowering the front fender front edge lips. Looked at those today to figure it out. Won't be hard. Tom
Good point on the stance. Got some lowering uprights coming. Need headlight rings and the center grille chrome. Anyone?
I am very comfortable working with chevy. Prefer to put in a chevy Inline 250 for this though. Much easier for me to source parts. Besides, I like...
Moparron426, That pic of the 40 is what I like! Do you know who's car that is? Like to see mor eof it. Tom
Keep the pic's and ideas coming. The pic's will help sell this to the wife! Tom
Why should I run bumpers? I understand , there is more chance to hurt it. Just think it looks nicer. Tom
Those are some great convert pic's! Do you have more? Had not thought about the late model jeep engine. They are a good powertrain. Tom
