Nice! Are you running 1.6 rockers?

4 speed. 3.91 rear with 28” tire.

I did it on my stroker. Figured even if it doesn’t help a lot, it can’t hurt anything.

As Rumble touched on. I’ve gotten some flak over the intake choice but I have a few reasons for putting it on the engine. First and foremost, this is a street car. Might see a drag strip once a year for some fun. I feel like this intake will make more torque than a single plane due to increased...

Thanks for the info, looks like a good buy. But my brother-in-law works at the battery store so I’m almost obligated to buy there. He’ll get me a smokin deal on whatever junk they have in the back.

Got everything assembled and ready to fire. Filled the carb bowls pressed record on the camera, turned the key, and…….click. Dead battery. Hahaha! I had the trickle charger on it all summer and it said it was fully charged. Guess it’s just passed it’s prime. It is 12 years old and had the...

New cylinder head has been machined, ported, cleaned, painted, assembled, and installed! Valves are lashed, oil primed, and timing set. Ready to drop on the intake and bolt up the accessories. Won’t be long until we hear it rumble now.

Been there a couple times. Just up the road from me. Never saw her there though.

:thumbsup:

Nice car! Add the ‘71 Twister decals and rallye wheels to really make it stand out.

Let me save you (OP) some aggravation. Take that housing and throw it off a bridge now and find a factory piece. I’ve tried two of those and they both warped after about 6 months worth of heat cycles. I’d take them off and mill them flat again only to have them warp again. No amount of RTV will...

Nailed it.

Damn you all for baiting me into reading this whole thread!!! Never get that 20 minutes back.

Pictures of gasket damage? I’m thinking something wasn’t surfaced correctly.

I used rubber cement. Then after it dries put another coat over top. Been on there close to 10 years

Norwalk Raceway park around 1996. My dad and my uncle took me and a friend there for a national event. I was 14 and I’ve been hooked ever since. Been attending the national race there every single year since (except for the 8 years my *** belonged to Uncle Sam). My father has since passed away...

Man I wish my junk was back together for that race at Keystone. I’d love to hit TnT Friday night and enter the Iron Muscle class Saturday. That would be a blast!

Would anyone in this thread happen to have a good picture of a W2 intake port that has been ported. I’m porting mine right now using the DC templates and it looks like the pushrod bulge needs to be completely removed for the template to fit correctly. But I’m not sure there’s enough meat there...

Not gonna hurt my feelings at all, pretty thick hide on me. Same here. Hindsight is crystal clear……and usually painful.

Trust me, with the amount of money I have wasted on this “W2 journey”, I could have bought a complete cnc’d Indy top end ready to bolt on. I crossed the line between crazy and insane long ago. There is no help for me now…….

Just like the one it is replacing, it started life as a first generation 810E econo head. It was then machined to remove the rocker pedestals, opened the intake valve to 2.08”, cleaned up the deck surface, cut the guides down for positive seals, and lowered the spring pocket a bit.

You are correct. The welding process was a failure. The cracks reappeared right along side the weld bead. It was better than it was before welding, so I attempted to seal the cracks from the inside by pouring epoxy into the water jacket and standing the head on its corner. It initially worked...

Making forward progress again. Porting the replacement head using the DC porting templates. I’m super busy this time of year between working full time, coaching baseball in the evenings, and camping with the family on the weekends so finding even a few minutes here and there to work on it is...

Just curious, what did it make on the dyno? And what cylinder heads?

Rats, appears I have the later version also. Sorry.

I may have the correct one on my shelf. I’ll check tonight after work.
