This is a new build. Crower says RPM range given is for average heads, Improving heads will move the powerband with the same cam. As the heads...
According to flow sheets substantial gains mid lift on up through .600.
Went from 237cfm to 274cfm at .500 with port work on Trick Flow DHC 175cc ports. Crower tells me the increase in flow will raise the RPM where...
This is most likely to sound moronic but, does improved(serious porting) or better heads raise the rpm max horsepower occur without changing the...
He had my cam specs in front of him and suggested 175/400lbs on the springs. With the rev kit and just a few thou lash cold it should be fun. You...
Had a nice conversation with John Partridge from Bullet Cams. They did the regrind on the billet cam I have and assured me that they won't regrind...
My machinist is one of the good ones. I'm building my '65 from a birdcage I put together from aftermarket pieces as are all the body parts. A few...
I'm also trying to build several engines just to use up parts I already have laying around, ya'll know, old fashion hot rodding parts supply. My...
Bullet ground the cam on the Ultradyne core. I did call their techline just a few days ago to ask if there would be any problem and the response...
Typically when a part gets heat treated is heated long enough that the piece is hardened entirely. after machining the part may then be nitrided...
My machinist is convinced we should use a set of solid rollers on the hydraulic roller cam I have. The cam was made from a buggered Ultradyne...
Perfect!
That's right!!!
High rpm for mountain driving. Deals gap/tail of the dragon. Smugglers Notch, think road race. Access roads to ski areas are epic. Bolton Flats...
Oil pan is the old Corvette 6 qt with trap door and windage tray. Stopped by the shop today and grabbed an '1182 forging that's getting offset...
My machinist is a one man shop about 15 minutes on back roads hidden in the midlands of South Carolina. Flow bench, dyno and everything one stop....
That's right!
Just talked with Isky, guy told me the 2077HYRT will be all I need.
Actually a pretty modest cam. Trying to replicate the old L-79 327 feel, just more of it. Needs to handle putting miles on it for the occasional...
Did a little more looking around last night. Anyone have opinions of Isky lifters made by Johnson? I'll call them later today and ask for a...
I have a stash of the "C" clips and that's the first step in detailing a lifter before installation.
So, called StraubTech, got someone that sounded like he reads the description from a computer screen and wanted to sell me the lower cost Morels....
Same lifter, different link bar.
I thought that as well but the cam guru in North Carolina I've conversed with told me use just enough spring to keep things under control and let...
Cam is the old Crower Beast hyd. roller, 224 @ .050 on the intake with .531" 114 degree separation. Heads are the Trick Flow DHC 175 worked by...
Anyone have experience with retro-fit hydraulic roller lifters that can handle going to 6500-6800 in an everyday driver. Building the motor now...
Valves are undercut and backcut, every little bit helps and my time at the valve grinder is close to the shop fridge. I've built more than a...
Not so much worried about blowing up, more about I was going to line hone for studs so why not, can't hurt and only help stabilize the caps/bearings.
Aftermarket header sidepipes, LOUD! Not sure what carb, Holley either double pump or vacuum 600-650.
Exactly, this one is going into more or less a period looking '65 vette. No original car was harmed in this production. Think road legal(kind of)...
