The problem is many things are being vaguely debated and interchangeably.
1. Can a 408 & a 340 make the same power curve basically stall to shift, I believe the answer is yes.
2. Is it gonna be some huge extra effort to do so, I believe generally no.
3. What about the extra torque of the 408...
Thanks all.
To be honest, I learned what not to do previously by destroying a perfectly good Victor 340. I tried to do too much to it and it got away from me pretty quick. That one is not savable, trust me. (see below) The Victor is a good intake but it's too short for my particular application...
Used to be you didn't see seals at ALL on exhaust valves. Look at the early Hemis. The top of the exhaust valve points DOWN. Oil doesn't run uphill. lol
I guess I never gave it any thought all these years. But it makes sense Mother Mopar having a one piece and also ACC having 2 piece and shorter box for shipping.
Good Open Wheel show at the beach tonite, beach being Ventura Raceway. Ventura is literally at the beach. Speedway, parking lot, road to the neighboring State Beach, sand, waves, surfers, and Channel Islands :lol: In that order :lol:
I’m excitedly curious to find my smoking issue when I tear these heads off this winter. They were used damaged Edelbrock I bought for 350.00, repaired them, and ported them. They have been on 4-5 engines since 2008 and although it ran 6.00 last time out has been smoking all year. This engine if...
I might be overthinking it, that's a possibility. I just wanted to get the correct one without a lot of running back and forth. I live basically in the middle of nowhere and it's easily an hour to the closest retail parts store.
I see no harm either way. My friend that did my head’s didn’t even use seals on my bronze guide 906 heads. He used a small oring but we serviced our stuff more often then most.
This helps a lot! It's the same pump as far as I can tell, and I didn't think that the hose would go up like that before going down. I guess it has something to do with making sure there's enough flex in the rubber line when the engine revs?
At any rate, I appreciate the photos!
They’re 4150’s so they’re mounted sideways. There is no fuel coming out of the vents as I’ve run it without air cleaners during some of the runs and no sign of that. Fuel pressure is 5.5 so that’s probably not an issue. I’ll level the car out and see where the floats sit.
Looks like we have a short lived heat wave in our future. Be knocking on the 90° door mid-week. South and east of here it gonna be smokin' hot :eek: . AYEE! It will be hotter just to the north of here than it will be in the old Desert homeland!
