Dropped off new rods and talked to Mike about heads, intake, and cam plans...
The good news.... heads flowed right at what I was told they flowed. Lift / Intake / Exhaust .100 75 53 .200 149 106 .300 226 158 .400 264 212 .500 326 234 .600 358 247 .700 369 255 .800 373 258 .900 366 260 .975 366 262 The bad news... I need new springs, retainers and keepers, but I was kinda factoring that possibility in when I got the top end so damn cheap. He likes PAC springs and the titanium stuff. Mike will run some more numbers and plug into his Cam Doctor but he's thinking about 266ish intake and low 270's exhaust duration @ .050 and peak net life in the .675 range. He is most concerned with the mid lift area of .200 to .600 and these heads do pretty well there for 20+ year old Nascar crap. He also specs his cams with the Ford Cleveland firing order (again, Nascar) and apparently it's a 4 cylinder swap deal. First I have heard of that, but he's the boss here. He said the weak link in my parts is the intake and he'll have to do a little work with it so it isn't such a restrictor it's hurting the combo. He'll put the heads with the intake back on later toward the end he said. I'm having a lot of fun showing up at the shop and talking and learning from these guys. It's a lot of info to take in and retain for me but I learn some things each time I talk to or meet with him. The uber technical workings are not my strong suit. :D I may pony up for some valve covers from them. Not sure yet. :thumbsup: http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/f...hoto_005-6.jpg |
Get the springs ISF , cryogenicly treated or REM'd it does make them live longer.
|
:thumbsup: :willy: Sounds like you'll be Snappin' Necks, and Cashin' Checks in no time PAH!!!!
Splurge and get the VC's you owe it to yourself and those look nice!! BTW I have a set of used low runs Ti retainers for double springs, If they'll work for your app you can have them. What size valve stem are you running? |

And thanks for the offer on the retainers. I do not know the specs yet but I'll get some numbers from Mike next time I'm there. You're a good man Charlie Brown. :cheers: :thumbsup: |

Really like those flow rates. Beefy in the middle and keep flowing all the way to the top....:cheers:
Get the Ti locks and keepers. It's better on your valve train! Jerr Dog's our resident motor expert and goodwill stand, so PM him if you ever need a little backdoor tech. (easy Jerr, I'm talking about motors here :D ) |
Blah, Blah, Blah...........just hurry up and finish this thing so we can go out and play :unibrow:

And :cheers: for getting this back on point. :D After watching Greg's and Charley's Mustangs, as well as a couple stock cars, run today at Thunderhill... I am so itchin to get on track. A small update on my parts hunt that I am proud of... I scored a "blemish" version Holley billet fuel pump (mechanical) for about $110 off retail. Those kinds of things and even savings make me enjoy the hunt. :lateral: |

Funny but our flow #s are pretty similar. You have me on the exhaust side. I knew I should have spent the $$ and filled the exhaust port floors and raised the roofs. That's what I get for going cheap. :lol: I am crutching my exhaust flow with some custom step headers but you have those also. Hmmmm..... good thing I have all those extra CI. :D I find it hard to believe with the cam specs and ci you have that peak hp will be under 7000. Maybe I need to re read the specs. |

I've learned flow #'s are only a small part of heads, as you know I'm sure. Velocity is just as important or more. Still, for the money my top end cost I am stoked to see the results. I'll put them up against anyone on a dollar per $ basis. I guess I should wait til the dyno in case we don't break 500. :lol: Your cubes are gonna make incredible torque... and incredibly hard to manage. :D Yeah we are shooting for peak power at 7000rpm. If it comes in at 7200 I guess that's okay. It'll be built right so I'm good with that. Rods are rates to 7500 rpm and 700hp I believe I read. I'm more looking for that sweet flat torque curve from 4000 up that Mike says he loves about the 394 combo. |

What fun would it be to drive if the power was easy to manage. |
Quote:
High and flat. And a bear to manage. I like it. A LOT. :lol: |

Here's a taste for ya... Our dyno, first pulls on my new 540 back in 2005 I was nervous cuz the warranty expires as soon as it fires And I assembled the whole damn thing LOLOL |
