    Has anyone reversed the twin hood scoops for a cowl induction effect?

    Yeah, to get any benefit from cowl induction the opening needs to be very close to the base of the windshield — the high pressure area is right at the angle. Anywhere on the flat hood is laminar flow.

    @Joeychgo where is my disagree button? We got heretics here talking about laughing gas when the guy just needs gearing and a torque converter! :poke: I'm serious about the disagree button though.

    Mopar R1 block

    I’ve been casting a squinty eye in the direction of the victor heads lately. That block with those is a very attractive platform for a 370’ish inch build.

    Finally get to pretend I am one of the cool kids - Holley kit swap

    Ah, here's the gotcha on the HC WP swap. If Mopar machines the HC cover such that the WP surface is a different distance than a standard cover, and then the HC WP is machined taller or shorter such that the overall distance to the WP pulley ends up being the same, bolting that HC WP to a...

    Just to follow up, I was curious why a different oil pan was required. The thought being, I know the HC cover has an extra idler boss, but the oil pan made me wonder if there were other differences that might make the WP not fit on a standard cover.

    Looks like the HC and 5.7/6.4 TC cover are different at the bottom. 5.7/6.4: Hellcat: Best guess is they pushed the cover and oil pan sealing surface out for the bigger oil pump. But I know an HC oil pump fits the standard cover so not sure why. Either way, an HC TC cover would require...

    sand blasting

    Also depends on what kind of unit you have. A cabinet style with or without filtration? A standalone pressurized unit? A cabinet with filtration will "use" less, because you're essentially recycling media. A pressurized sandblaster will go through a whole lot more, because you're just pissing it...

    Power valve availability

    That link that Mopar Sam posted says you can go higher than that if you need to. One thing to remember is your Main Air Bleed controls when the booster starts. A bigger MAB will start the booster sooner. A smaller MAB will start the booster later. If you are at the end of the T slot and you...

    BTW, looks like the 90 degree adapter is Special Service Vehicles (e.g. Police) specific. That's why I couldn't find many that had the adapter. Found that on a FB group (High Performance Rams) discussion that you (@Dantra) were part of. That's where the last picture in my post above came...

    Power Valve Selection

    Using the centerline method I got the cam shaft degreed in properly. I believe I got the intake vacuum leak issue nipped in the butt and was able to not only start the car but did drive it into storage before the snow came. It appears I need to have the choke come off sooner, so I will work on...

    My mother just got a call from her cousin in Altadena (Eaton fire): They haven't lost the house yet, but they evacuated early this morning. All are safe, including their pets (2 dogs and a cat). More apropos to this forum though, they had "numerous" cars in offsite storage (I know of at least...

    Lightweight flywheel options and selection criteria.

    Yup, if I had to get something out of tight corners I’d have a 30 pound wheel. I grew up when 50 pound flywheels were standard stuff in the drag racing classes I care about. Today a 4 inch stroke is normal. Even a 3.5 inch stroke would have been considered LONG by Modified Eliminator engines...

    Agreed, it was just a random idea. Not too later for you to swap to an HC water pump though. :poke: I really do think it would bolt on and line up. But I don't know what I don't know. So you might need to take the bullet for the rest of us and try it out. :rofl:

    Intake Fitment

    I was able to get the intake back from the machine shop and installed. It appeared that everything lined up and sealed up well. I did two cold starts. First one initially after everything was back together., which I knew would be bad due to degreeing the cam shaft so I didnt think that start...
