High 10's should be easy peazy with a roots setup. Just beware that belt driven setups, while easier to configure and tune, can be very...
the extra ethonal content in todays fuels is a double edged sword too. Ethanol is excellent at reducing deposit buildups.. but also runs slightly...
See my last post above in regards to notching. As for the Piston slapping around as it protrudes below the bottom of the cylinder?.. that depends...
Good general advice but he has a Dart SHP block, which IIRC, already has some notching done to it to accept typical 347 rotating combos. Not sure...
Always loved that quote in your sig! Sorry to threadjack, but it may help the OP here anyways, can you list that cams full spec's? Preferably...
What I meant when I said "squeeze it" was to open the dish even further to kill off some compression and supercharge or turbo it. Depending on...
Sounds like you already have the block and probably here nor there at this point.. but a big bore motor would have helped build compression...
Yep.. exactly right. By standing the valve up straighter with shallower angles it rotates the closest point of piston to valve contact to a...
Probably because we don't see many Yates headed motors around these parts. LOL It's like this. High angle heads like Fords 20° and Chevy 23°...
Ok, I get it now. The "soft lifter" comment is what threw me. Using the term collapsed lifters would have been more clear. Good luck with it...
EFI cams with wider overlaps are well known to be a necessary compromise for the engine sensors signal consistency so the ecm can keep up with...
Don't ever buy cylinder heads based solely on flow rates. And especially if you don't know how to match(more like MATH!) them with the rest of...
Be very careful here.. putting new lifters on that cam may present more issues if the cam was already broken in with/worn against the original...
Main and timing cover lip seals leaking like this on older motors after sitting too long is quite common. Even happens to rear trans seals as...
I agree with Craig. Costs more cash to sub out work but the reduction in migranes is well worth it.. if you catch my drift here. Plus there's...
Absolutely. Higher compression and forced induction do not play well at all unless it's a full on race effort engine drinking pure racing gas....
I.. THINK.. what he is saying here is that once he nests the rear u-joint the front has slid out 1 3/4" from fully seated onto the tail shaft....
Yeah Mike.. header evac setup combined with an adjustable pcv valve. Bill Jenkins did something similar many years ago. Also plan on trying to...
haha.. typical me. I left off with a gynecologist joke in my last post. Not much final install progress but I did get a few more parts to keep...
Pm me if you want to call while I'm working in the shop today and shortcut through all this forum learning/texting stuff.
