We run 040 if we do not backcut the ground piece.
Never found a darn thing on the Dyno or Track by going
bigger. I have gone as far as 060 with no benefit!
FLAME AWAY!
That is a very nice unit for the price!
It would bring double that on West Coast
if it runs Ok and does not have 300,000+ miles
on the gas engine.
Even if you had to rebuild either the engine or trans
you would come out OK at that number.
Any 440 Block is fine. It is an earlier block as
later ones have a thicker boss for attaching motor
mounts.
The ribs might help prevent cracking if the block is
subject to freezing weather = Otherwise not a difference!
Most of the bracket racing we do does not pay anything
to talk about either.
Example : last week at MATS both Jon and I got all the way
to the finals in our respective class = Total return $300.00
Jon had the best losing package with a .007 light and a couple
thousand margin of loss in StockSS...
I am not bitching at all = Just explaining to those that do not follow it.
I race class because that is what our family has done for a long time and
even myself for 60 years.
It is where nearly all my friends in the world are participating in and I
would never see them otherwise as they are...
Well I was able to win the race against Kyle
when he went -.003. The round before he
put up a .009 and I put up a .011. My dial
was 12.48 and his was 10.26 when meant he
had to sit and wait a long time which can be tough.
I now inherit the bye that was going to be his and that
gives me a...
You might consider 906 Heads.
Two or three less CC as I recall would
get you near 9.5 Compression
The 906 head flow considerably more
than the 452 in stock form.
You do have to consider the seat issues.
I know 906 heads do not have harden seats.
I do not remember if 452 sometimes or always...
The stock compression deck on a 383 is about 1.93.
That is about .150 shorter than the stock compression deck
on a 426.
Would they fit = yes.
Compression ratio would be around 7 to 1 or a bit less.
Thanks for the Kind Words.
I could never even hope to be a thousand
of the witness that Paul was.
Even thou he was a fabulous witness he said =
"My righteousness is just like filthy rags".
Except for the Blood of Jesus my plight would be
absolutely hopeless.
Son of David = Have mercy on your...
The X heads are 894 number.
They do flow a bit better stock and
chambers are bit better aligned to block.
However, on a stock low compression 340
you will never feel the difference in performance.
I have done extensive research and testing on these
different heads for 50 years. If you gained...
