Remember, he did port work on those heads too. He's a darn good mechanic

You can think that if you want to. I'll see what size intake runner's those heads have. The engine was designed and built to spin to 7500-8000 rpm's. This guy knows his stuff.

He bought the cylinder heads new but I don't know if they were bare or not. I do know that he had a 3 angle valve job done along with a back cut on the valve's. He reworked the bowl area. But my luck would be like you said. Now he's building a 4.3 V/6 for his vega. Heads are stock, they are...

He ran stock 400 block. I don't remember the exact details but he said something about the block having a higher nickel content I believe it was. I do know that it was a truck block that he had machined for 4 bolt splayed main caps, align bored, bored / honed 0.030" with torque plates, had...

He ran speedmaster cylinder heads and he did all of his own port work. Remember, this is a sbc and they cost about half of what a sbm would cost. I wish that I could remember the name of the parts that he used. He got a forged crankshaft for $400. Like I mentioned earlier he bought everything...

Going by that, it would cost like $6500 for a 360 horsepower 360. It's been said on here that you can get 400 horsepower from a 5.9 with bolt ons.

I don't know for sure if he still has the parts list. He got some awesome deals on those eBay stores, he showed me the cost difference and ebay was a lot cheaper than the mail order stores.

I forgot to mention that he built his sbc for under $6700 for everything

It's hard to put a figure on this, as machine shop cost vary from one place to another. And parts cost, depends on where you shop. A good friend of mine built a 650 horsepower 406 sbc. He bought his parts off of eBay stores and they were all name brand parts.

What do you mean by piston pin adj?

RRR, Is it okay if I pm you about questions on the/6?

Glad to hear that it's all good there

That's good. Wanted to check in and make sure you and family were okay. I hope that anyone else who lives there are safe and sound as well

Has anyone heard from toolmanmike since the tornadoe went through Iowa? I sure hope that he and his family are okay, and anyone else on here that lives there

Thanks rumblefish360. I agree FABO just might make a motor head out of me yet and I think that would be awesome

That's what I really need to do. I know that I don't know you, but I hope that we can be friends and maybe one day we can meet. I have faults and darnit I'm trying to correct them

years ago I didn't double check anything. But I know better now

With what machine shops charge for machine work I would like to think that I don't have to double check their work. With all of the machine work I had done in the past there was only one time that I didn't trust the work and that was caused by them balancing the rods by grinding on the rod bolts...

It's just that I can't remember you ever making any suggestions, just that smiling face and sometimes rude comments. Pull the plugs out of your mopar if you want to. I'm use to us Missouri folks sticking together

I know it is, but with its duration at 0.050 wouldn't it move the power band up? Also aren't the sbm know for coil bind at over .500 lift? And to the op may not want a rough idle.

Hey there hot rod, did you happen to notice that I wasn't the only one who has made a cam recommendation and amount other things? Are you jealous because I thought of a cam before you did? As far as oil I don't see anything wrong with using valvoline 10w 30. For stock compression ratio I think...

If you're going with the stock compression ratio, the Howard's cam .479 / .494 x 255* / 261* 208*/214* @ 0.050" 112* LSA. Windage tray and a true roller timing chain.

Got canceled due to severe weather. Missouri and Illinois had heavy rain hail and high winds. There's over 20,000 people in Illinois without power. Not a good weekend

This is true.

I agree with you 1000%

I think that 3.55s are good enough for in town driving, they will get you good acceleration from a stop. I had 3.73's in my '73 dart and the Do you remember what the lift is for your cam? The duration at 0.050 looks good to me

I probably would put a different cam in it too. With him seemingly only going to replace the chain I thought why not advance the cam. He probably wouldn't notice the difference

Thanks

Being in california you should be familiar with emissions. When I was more into engine rebuilding, the stock cams usually had retarded timing because of emissions. And I still believe that the little things that can be done to improve performance all make a difference. Look at the performance...
