I hope I dont wear out my welcome here by asking too much. I am hoping to combine a few things in this one post...
There are several things I want to get up to speed on. I am not looking for detailed info here, but some basic info.
First item: Windage tray
Why do people add them to the oil pan?
It keeps the oil from getting blown all over the inside of the engine when revved.
Second item:Stall converter
What does it do to your performance to upgrade to a different stall speed, and when is it recomended?
This lets the engine get into the power band before it starts turning the drivetrain.
Third: Double roller timing chain
What is the reason / advantage for this item when running a stock lower end?
Double rollers are much stronger, and last longer.
I have learned more here in the last several months than I could have possibly imagined. Thank you again and again.
For my application, I have a 1990 engine (360, of course) with only a documented 36 thousand miles (remanufactured). It is going to replace the 318 in my 70 Dart. It has an auto tranny with 8 3/4 rear end, all factory original.
I have purchased a few goodies here on FABO, Wieland intake, Holley 600 carb, M/T valve covers.
I am considering the upgrades I asked about above, (windage tray, stall converter, double roller chain) but I dont know if it will be worth the cost on my power plant. Obviously the car will never see the dragstrip, I want to feel a little extra HP when I get a chance to take it out - not a daily driver.
Thanks! :burnout:
