Visual Aid For Figuring Custom Pistons??
kid,I wish the man was still around that used to race them (slants)on dirt,he had them running with the V8s with 4bls.and i'm talking 355 and 377 chevys.if memory serves me he was using pontiac pistons and i'm not sure of the rods.and the heads were ported so much in places that he had to use epoxy to do it.and his carb (don't know what size)other than a 4bl. with an injector have you ever seen one?if not ill try to explain later to ya.I would get a motors manual which im sure you have already.and look at the brand X car specks to see what will work..and I also know that the cowter wts on the crank were as thin as a big block and damn near as sharp as a mower blade!man was it pretty.that thing revved like a 2 stroke!!!and he turned it 8500 he said they were good for about 1 season and when or if they blew up he brought them home in a bucket.thats how I meet him helping him pick up the pieces and seen the crank he said I had been the only one that's ever seen the crank and knew it was cut......I asked him why he didn't just build a V8 he said he loves seeing them stamp their feet when he won(and that was often)with 225 lettered on the hood! (225 ya right)I would have liked to know the C.I.of that thing.377 was the limit in that class at the time.and they would pump the first 5 cars.he never did get pumped.he would pull up there for them to do it but they told him there was no way he could be over the limit with a 225 6cyl. he told me if they ever did pump it he would have to go with a v8 Laughing like hell..his brther worked for a no big name cam co(.I wish I knew wicth one never asked and gruwd him a roller cam said it took them one winter in the evnings testing them on the compny dino.to get a gind that worked and blew 2 motors up to do it.and back then most of thos guys had nver herd of a dino let alone using one I gess that's wy they all run chevys cuz there to dum to make any thing els run!!!lol....O ya he also had sleves in all 6 holes said he has to sleve them to get the CI he wanted he said if they got down to and cheacked the only thing chry.was the block and head all that was long before conputers and the avalabluty of parts.back then you could get all the slants you wanted just for picking them up hell some people would pay to take them!:cheers: so do sum homework witch im sure you have and let me know how you make out.....your frend........Artie :coffee2::coffee2:
