:rofl: That would almost be believable except for the fact that other shops have done high dollar restorations on A-bodies. You can't just say it's unprofitable and no one does it- it's been done, the cars are out there, you can see them in the old magazines and they've been at the auctions...

You're right... Just a simple ground..!

I honestly didn't think it had been that long. Now I'm even more worried.

Everything seems to be on track again... To all that chimed in, offered advice and help, THANKS..!! As always, MUCH appreciated...!!

Again, can't thank you enough for the time and info... The simplicity of the issue is sometimes hidden by the ignorance of one, me..!

LOL. Just had a nice conversation, turns out the body battery ground was disconnected, and pretty much stopping EVERY thang

Nearly brand new Edelbrock 8.5mm plug wires. I had them on my 409 Chevy with an MSD distributor. They should fit SB Mopar just fine since they have the same spark plug configuration. They have about 1 hour run time on them. Switched them out for retro-style yellow wires. Comes with the boots...

Yeah that's an awesome build.

it's the folklore, that's all. fools thinking that because the 489 pinion is whatever .000 percent bigger means it sooo much stronger. they put 741's in trucks ffs.

Looks like he hasn’t been on FABO since what April? Lord hope everything is ok.

sheets and motor are still there, i'll post all the numbers when i go back to pick it up, it went pass my expectations

I have a nearly identical 512 going in my 69 Dart, nice to see it should make about the power i was hoping for. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, cool deal! https://www.compcams.com/oval-track-drag-race-263-270-solid-roller-cam-for-chrysler-273-360.html

With a 50 year old car sometimes oxidation occurs in the socket or the bulbs themselves.

Impressive.

That's not a singular answer. There were four physically different air cleaners commonly factory-installed on Slant-6s between 1960 and 1963 (actually thru '69), even if we look only at passenger cars and not trucks or vans. If we drop that "commonly" filter, the total runs to around six or so...

Fairly large port, fairly large cam, fairly large intake and carb.

I'll try to get some decent pics as well as an explanation of the ringlands and rings used in some of my stock eliminator pistons in a few days.

Damn that's great, What kinda bsfc numbers? Do you have a sheet with the data ?

No they have 2.08 Int valves and fully cnc ported. Flow numbers posted if you read back in this thread.

I think his current cam has a good bit too much lift, but could use more duration. I suspect those heads aren’t doing anything above 600 lift. Aren’t they as delivered from TF? Also wonder about the 14 degree split.

Current install height is 2” coil bind is 1.1.

You probably have already, but if not it’d be good to make sure you have room to take 060 away, and also add whatever lift increase you’re considering. Not sure how far you are from bind currently, but shimming with the Bullet grind will put you about 080 closer to it…I wouldn’t have been...

dang I was way to conservative I guess on the rpm I didn’t think they twisted up that high. I was thinking a 6k red line. You guys are building true monsters.

I based my estimate using 440-1 OOTB , I'm guessing the heads have been cleaned up and ported a bit. Nice #'s BTW

Brand new, Chevy HEI distributor for sb/bb Chevy. Speedmaster brand Asking $65.00 plus the ride.

Has anyone heard from @RedFish and does anyone have any contact information for him? I want this separate from the MIA thread so it will be seen and not buried. Please, if anyone knows anything, please post up. Thanks.

man, looks like you got purt near a country mile in clearance all around. 400+ hp ain't nuthin' to sneeze at neither! drive the wheels off and report back!

Youre the closest, it made 798hp at 6700 and 712 tq at 5900 4500 carb. It would go more but we ran out of carb.
