Thinking outside the box
>>>He usually had some good info.<<<
Yeah; some of it was even true...:profilel:
I don't think for a minute that this tall port head is going to happen, but I do think it's feasible. My contention is that only the head bolts, valves and pushrods would need to be changed if the Magnum-style rockers were used. The rocker arms would be sitting higher (farther from the cam), but in the same location, laterally, so why would they need to be changed at all?
Same cam, lifters, rockers, valve springs, retainers, keepers... only the pushrods would need to be different (longer.)
A taller intake port would be the only real change to this system, which would, of course, dictate a wider intake manifold with taller ports.
I think the exhaust port would be okay to leave as it is, meaning the headers would be unchanged, too.
In the meantime, I'll have to rely on this hairdryer (see attachment below) for my 300cfm intake charge, and hope that EQ will eventually do something like this "tall port" idea that I can afford.
Hope they hurry; I don't have forever... LOL!
