It has flat top pistons. It made the most power on the engine dyno at 38-40*. I'm slowly working my way down on timing. I usually only get three...
Racing today. The Club runs are today and tonight. Hoping to go a few rounds to help with club points. I have the timing now set at 35*. We'll...
I'm starting the build of a 351C for my son's Cougar so I have a couple dozen questions for you Pro Stock: Where did you source the NASCAR crank...
Love those Clevelands! Tell some more about the engine.
Not to disagree with anyone above, but you'll get more bang for your buck with a gear change. 3.25 or 3.50 work well on a non-overdrive street...
Yes, the timing is locked out.
Not significantly. Temps both days in mid 70s and humidity in mid 30s. The only big variable this week was a 20mph headwind. That caused my trap...
Don't know for sure. The car seemed to have better mid-range. Although my best 60 ft was on that run. First time the car broke into the 1.7...
Dan, with all due respect, why not give the engine what it wants for total timing and what the dragstrip proves makes the most power? For...
It has AFR 185 heads with screw in studs and guide plates.
Ran an all time best of 12.323 today. Won the first round, lost by .0014 in the second. I think the car spun the slicks about one revolution in...
I'm happy with the setup. Just trying to improve it a bit. :)
OK, I'll set all of them to 1/4 turn pre-load and see how it goes.
Old Timer's Disease. I suffer from it also. :yup:
No, I haven't done anything to it. This is the first time the valve covers have been off. I pulled the intake today to upgrade the lifters to Comp...
That's a good point. I just checked the lifters on the #1 and they are still pumped up. But, there is no pre-load on any of them. Some of them I...
My suggestion: Search "ford heads" on eBay. Look for OEM heads. You'll find several shops selling reconditioned heads. Send them each a message...
Greg, let's revisit this lifter pre-load issue. I pulled the intake today to install the short stroke hydraulic roller lifters. Turns out they...
No argument from me. The dragstrip tells the tale.
That's pretty much what I believed to be the case. I removed the 750 vacuum secondary and replaced it with QFT 650 DP on my 302. The car went a...
