My friend just picked this all original 68 In Alberta.

Did you decide which spring/retainer you are going to use? I've found a killer setup that I decided to try out this spring and so far it has been working awesome. Also picked up 3 MPH in 1/4 124- 127(so far with only 2 track passes) while swapping from a nice solid to HYD with similar...

For those interested, being they are ceramic coated the black colour should be able to be mostly polished and blended out with some polishing rouge n wheel. Not to mention the areas are also covered so it wouldn't even be noticeable.

I haven't tried a solid roller lifter on a HYD roller cam but just in the process of debating which direction to go with. I have a set of each and already mocked both up. The solid definitely gives me better pushrod clearance while the HYD is being a pain. What type of spring pressures have...

It is a addiction. For me If it was such a good deal It's like a guy had no choice not to buy it. After long enough and to many parts a guy had to realize that maybe we don't need to take advantage of every good deal lol. I've had to just stop looking at wanted adds for the longest time...

That's one thing I would have added as well and completely agree on. The tune on the dyno isn't always the same as down the track. A cpl more variants that need to be taken into account but are in plain sight and not always considered which I've seen many not taken into consideration. The...

What kind of carb is used? Power valve size? Remember plugs are the soldiers on the front line and the only ones that will truly tell you what's happening. Like Andy said you can't always trust AFR meters. Plugs you can always trust. What heat range of plug? Does the carb have a secondary idle...

While working at AMS engines we would dyno about every second day. Just by locking out the distributor on a healthy street engine would stabilize the curve and would add a automatic 10hp. Not to sure what this guy is talking about since the common knowledge after 100's of dyno tests shows the...

I guess I'm not allowed to reply to the reasoning of this thread where it was mentioned of the racer brown cam being for sale with the price posted. I inquired. My bad

With some better castings to fix the issues I'm sure he has more planned. Start to preliminary was only about 2days. He says air speed is to high at the short turn ATM. Already more promising than Indy CNC's -1/-2. Hope it works out. I know I have some stainless W2/W5 rockers that are getting...

I hadn't either until today. Brett Miller has been working on some preliminary W5 work with intentions of having a new casting done. Last week he was looking for Virgin W5 head castings. By Wednesday already had some and 2 day's later had a finished port going [email protected] which is already more...

Was this engine ever put on the Dyno?

Just ordered some Viking DBL adjustable front shocks for my 67 Valiant through PST. With the discount and free shipping(to Pheonix) saved a guy 100$ Canadian vs anywhere else. Thanks James!

Great thanks for sharing! I was just about to do a seperate post about this. I seen these pictures on a recent Drag Boss posting about the Arrow. Super cool that you have it! I screen shot every picture they showed of the engine! I'm still a bit young being only two in 79 but definitely...

They They Have a interview on DragBoss Garage(YouTube) with Billy Glidden explaining the details of how he was almost caught himself when a tech inspector had his hands on the back cage bars and was commenting how cold they got after a run(nitrous inside) but never caught on. Bob was completely...
