Mike is good people...
Jomar/Morso. Cranes is a 5 pice setup. Works good.
Yes Scott, before they outlawed the Jager rod in IHRA I got to see some of the pistons coming out of some of the Ford engines. Piston speed is one of the major battles in those engines.
I spoke with a few people at PRI and I think all of us are going to sign up to exhibit.
You need to check the geometry and really change the pushrods if it has 5/16" or the welded ball type pushrod. A good 1 piece pushrod set will run you around $160 shipped to the door and is well...
Sonny's had their new Hemispherical BBC engine at PRI. You talk about a monster....Note I said "Hemispherical", Chrysler "politely" informed Sonny's that the word HEMI is trademarked so they had to...
Buy it. . ..sell it for $200 and apply the $100 to a good 850 to 950 cfm carb.
I'm sure what they had at the PRI show was their best looking stuff. . . I was not impressed.
Who else is going to the PRI show in Orlando? I'm flying out Sunday to go fishing with dad for a few days in the gulf then to the show. Would be cool to put some faces with screen names. Cell...
If max CFM is 310
310 x .2575 x 8cylinders= 638HP @ 100% VE
The playing field will be becoming more level. China is having new tax laws coming out at the first of the year. Compound this with the lower dollar and cost of fuel items from China will be going...

Lookin' good Tim!!!!! Nice powerband on the dyno print. Get me a copy when you can....
Guy,
Contact CFM, he has done a ton of testing with spacers and has a good deal on the HVH stuff.
RPM, Exemployee of CAT. Taiwan National with very wealthy family. Cranks come from China 100% machined. It is a crap shoot whether you get a good one or a bad one.
Tim,
That's great!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see the powerband numbers. How was the throttle response?
Since UPS bought Overnight you can check with them. Fedex will also ship engines.
Tim,
Let me know how throttle responsive she is...
Good looking bullet...
Bang for the buck since you are starting with nothing it sounds like I would build a 496. Yes you can get the power you want from a 454 but you could build a 8 to 1 496 combo that would run 87...
Your always welcome at my place Chris.
ps, dyno at westech next thursday.....:D
Thanks. . ..Sounds good. . .I will be real interested in the throttle response yours has.
ok so a 502 block is actually different physically than a 454 block? whats the diff? different sleeves?
Reid
No outside physical difference. The cylinders are thicker allowing one to bore the 502...
I'm going to have to fly out next year for one of these events....anybody want to host a "barefoot hillbilly a couple of nights in return for a couple of Mason Jars"?
Kjell she's not a nice tone to...
Congrats Chris....
I'll through one more into the mix. . .

Customer like DNE, Sterling, Kustom Engines, Zuel, use Stef's.
I wouldn't spend the time investing in the 8.1 GM platform. GM will discontinue it in '08 and the aftermarket really hasn't "hugged" the engine opting to stay with the original BBC stuff. Being...
