    5.9 stroker build

    I measured with digital calipers, which isn't the most accurate way. But on all cylinders the height was consistently 1.950" ±.

    5.9 stroker build

    Parts are trickling in. Contacted SST for the clutch kit and 130T neutral balance flywheel. I have an older Keisler Engineering model, 10 spline shaft. With the planned increase in hp and torque, I stepped up to the McLeod Super Street Pro clutch kit, good for up to 550 hp. The old disc was...

    What Remflex exhaust gasket with TF heads?

    I'm thinking that they'll work because I was using Remflex gaskets on the magnum heads and I'm reusing the TTI headers. They fit perfect on the bench.

    What Remflex exhaust gasket with TF heads?

    I measured the exhaust ports and the 6027 is the closest match. Thanks.

    What Remflex exhaust gasket with TF heads?

    I use the Stage 8 locking fasteners. I hope they work with the TF's.

    GLASSTECH HOOD FITMENT

    I have a Stinger/AAR 6 pak hood on the Coronet. It fit pretty nice right out of the box but it needed trimming on the sides. Took an afternoon of work to get it to fit right.

    What Remflex exhaust gasket with TF heads?

    I bolted the TTI's up to the heads and they fit fine. I'm still debating whether to use the 6003 or 6027 gasket for LA engines, or the 6004/6028 gasket for magnum engines.

    What Remflex exhaust gasket with TF heads?

    On my current build, I'm swapping in TF 190's for the stock cast iron magnum heads. With the stock heads I used a Remflex 6028 gasket with TTI headers. The middle two TF exhaust ports are shaped more square than the magnum heads, which have a slight downward dogleg. Laying the gasket across...

    Do original manual transmission bell housings have part numbers cast into them?

    Greg was asking on my behalf; the front inspection cover has been missing since I bought the car. I don't want to separate the adapter from the bell. Greg has a cover in his stash from another tranny that can be manipulated to work on this one. That bell needs some heavy duty cleaning before...

    5.9 stroker build

    I talked to Mike Beachel at B3 Racing today. What a wealth of knowledge, and one of the truly nice guys in our hobby. We talked for over an hour, starting with rocker arms and spacers, then delving into cams, ignition timing, how to solve detonation issues. Some interesting subjects came up...

    5.9 stroker build

    I assume that was a solid roller cam? I agree with all your points. I'm more than okay with spring rates being a little heavier than lighter

    5.9 stroker build

    I caught some discrepancies in TF's specs, depending where one looked. The 150# seat pressure was given to me by Jeff; there is no reference to seat pressure in any TF literature. I them asked him why the instructions state 138# seat pressure. He said that when the springs are installed on...

    5.9 stroker build

    On that note, in the video Powell was referencing LS engines with way over .600 lift, revving to over 7,000.

    5.9 stroker build

    The owner (can't remember his name) specs his builds on the tight side of the safety margin to create more spring compression.
