Vht chrysler red

Could not resist to put the intake on to see how tall this is....for sure i have to cut my velocity stack (Hood´s got a hole in it, six pack scoop).

some progress.....

yeah, that´s true. They drilled the threads for the water neck too deep, directly into the water passage....not a huge problem, but not what i would expect also. Oh, i´ll work around as usual ;-)

oh, possibly have to shorten my velocity stack :D

looks like the lobe is not parallel to the roller axis....cam not grinded correctly? or due to lifter bore wear the offset creates a uneven force on the cam surface? Michael

The stock mopar hydraulic roller lifters are significantly taller, chrysler did not change the Block casting without a cause! I would not suggest using the stock HR Lifters in a LA Block designed for hydraulic flat tappet lifters. I´m curious if the recess in the lifter bore is there in the LA...

Thanks! No, i won´t change the cam for now....maybe later if there´s a upgrade of the short block. Still running a custom HR cam, but with SR lifters then. Cam is kinda small when compared to others (250 / 250 @ .050"), with the new T&D Rocker setup (1.7 intake / 1.65 exhaust) the intake lift is...

finally i my new parts arrived....i´m excited to put this stuff on and go testing :D We´ll see how that goes, hope to get some track time middle of June.

Oregon #1341 is a nice grind for a 5.2. Powerful and smooth driving, been there done that. Michael

Brett will do his magic on these also?

Interesting stuff, keep us updated! Michael

congrats! we need pics from that 68 Valiant! Michael

i read a book from DV, got convinced regarding the LSA theory. Had comp grind me a camshaft with 108°LSA instead of the common 110° - bingo, new best ET by quite a bit. All of the tests with somewhat "limited" cylinder heads show gains when reducing the LSA up to a certain point. One day i´ll...

Hello Guys and Gals, i´m planning a trip to florida this fall, end of November. Start and End point is Miami, have around 10 days to spend. Are there any suggestions regarding race tracks, museums, car shows etc. a car nut must see there? Otherwise, if there are suggestions regarding nice...
