Out with the 340 & in with the 410 stroker!
Ok....so far I had to grind the valley for the rear cylinders lifter to clear, no 8/7/6....the rest were fine. Turns out my block has a lot of heavy casting in those areas 'looks funky and high'...but not anymore.
So the cams dialed in straight up /46* int close, the lifters are in, the pan & front cover are on...now Im making an adjustable push rod out of an old 273 push rod I have laying around and some all thread w/ a lock nut. Once I get the length figured....I will clay check the valve to piston clearance and if good....I will bolt the heads on and then move to figuring out how much I need to mill from the victor intake.
The other thing Im going to mention is that after the recent valve job...the heads picked up 5-6 cfm throughout .100-.450 lift.......like to the tune of about
[email protected] ..however the air speed picked up and now they dont flow anymore beyond .500-.520 lift....so Im back to that again...
I might see about removing .040 from the walls 'just past the push rod' to see If I can slow it, if not...hmmmm maybe fiddle the turn some more...but Im thinking fk it...it still flows 273-278 @.500...and with the intake on...it holds, ..let alone I'm under 5% loss w/ported intake ......and there is still work that can be done...
Im also waiting on some rocker shafts, 1050 annular main body...
