Originally manufactured on a assembly line machine with multiple stations, gang mill, multi drill head and multi tap head. Block goes in one end raw casting and comes out other end fully machined.
Sometimes it’s best to say nothing until someone else says something.
If tech is on the fence with an issue, they might look the other way if they are having trouble filling the field with competitive cars. You know no one likes a boring show especially a track owner, promoter or vendors for...
I got questions. Who said the manifold was stock dimensions and why would someone send a manifold to Wilson just to be bead blasted? Did Wilson manufacture the manifold?
It’s hard to find information on fireball cams.
A buddy of mine had one in a 70 340 dart, stock except the 850 holley and headers. Not sure which fireball it was but it flew, way better than the 500 lift 302 duration generic cam that was previously in it.
Errr, what build?
Compression and cylinder trapping efficiency, start there and optimize for the fuel you plan on running, then increase flow and fuel to reach for the horsepower attainable for the torque you have produced with your combination.
What really burns my biscuits is assholes that move within earshot of a race track and then relentlessly ***** about noise, crowds and fan behavior. Move somewhere else like the planet Pluto.
Case in point a lawyer that moved into the vicinity of Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, Wisconsin...
With that kind of horsepower and torque, I would be looking into reinforcing the frame, cage, down bars, and subframe connectors. Especially in a unibody car of that age.
Nice looking engine.
SLP was a Chevy thing he did in the 90’s when the LT1 was reintroduced. About 3 years ago he was selling new challenger package cars done up with body mods, graphics, interior do-dads and a special super charger package for the gen 3 Hemi.
After he sold the rights to his 340/360 stuff I got...
The dreamers we were. Now that I can afford it and have the time, it’s all gone.
Anyone that has one of his windage trays is either using it or won’t sell it, they were that good.
Horse apiece, keep in mind the difference in torque curves. With a heavy truck, the flatter the torque curve is better. Less piston pin height, the lighter the piston and quicker it will rev. If it was me, I’d balance the crank by shaving it as opposed to drilling holes to balance it.
Then...
