    We'll be doing this starting in December..............we'd love to have you down if you want to come and see first hand................ As you know, we're also building a race motor as well with a carb running alky using a sheet-metal intake...........but really the process is the same...

    Advancing cam 2 degrees

    the full, layman's response to the question is this: You have 2 "timings" that are discussed in automotives - ignition timing and cam timing...................both are in regards to their timing in relation to the piston (usually at TDC) While ign timing is relative to WHEN the spark...

    Head Porting Help

    yeah........................don't get cheap stuff. Shop around for long necks...............you want your tool back as far as possible so you can see what you're doing........................get good lighting. Just practice port matching and blending............ Call all your buddies...

    Head Porting Help

    considering we do this stuff at the shop, I'll give you a few good tips: #1. Even on the full port, start with the gasket match #2. Cut about 1/4" - 3/8" down into the port and match to your gasket #3. When you're done you'll have a ridge......blend the ridge into the rest of the runner...

    best machine shop/porter for 340 j heads

    I've thought about this..........what about: A 340 stroker...........still keep it around a 1.55 rod ratio (or above)..........maybe just an offset grind. I haven't done the math but something like a 360 - 368 ci motor. Single plane................send intake w/ heads to be worked 750...

    best machine shop/porter for 340 j heads

    Just to show so of our late model work..............I do not have any 340 heads uploaded. I have a ton more........... These heads flow 330-ish @ .600 with a 2.00" valve............massive port velocity :twisted: The people we suggest for a verter is TransKing in Galv.,TX I...

    5.7 Hemi in a Duster

    Sorry if I came across wrong...............when I read it as you describe, I see where you are coming from..........not my intention at all. I hope you stay in touch with us and watch with interest. Thanks for correcting my poor choice of words; good intent with bad exicution. :thumbup:

    5.7 Hemi in a Duster

    then i think you misunderstood........... Consider this: If a core was $5000 around him, why wouldn't he "just buy a crate motor" considering the crate motor would come w/ forged rods (compared to the powdered), forged pistons (compared to cast), forged crank (compared to cast), carb intake...

    5.7 Hemi in a Duster

    I'm not ticked at all.................and I don't know where the respect thing comes in? The thread is about a 3rd Gen HEMI in an old car................and thats what I'm speaking of. As for USCG....................we are using his 67 Barrcuda as a project for some proto-type...

    Ford 302 vs 318

    ROFL..............I hear ya The new motors are WAY cool........... The computers however sux! It's a speed density system and thus far we've not been able to work around it. The rear end is something I can't describe here..................its a full indep. style w/ shafts and the whole...

    Ford 302 vs 318

    I don't think the "tune port" cam until years later no? Ford did it in 86 I believe while GM took till the early 90's............Ford also was doing full hyd roller very early Ford also had the HD T-5 while GM put the chity T-5 in thiers...........and in 93 Ford went with the WC T-5 w/...

    Ford 302 vs 318

    The Ford had a better head, more 5 spd cars, and EFI The 305 had less to work w/ and had TBI, best 305 was the Vortec The 318 was a "truck" motor \Once the aftermarket saw what the average Joe had to work with, they all jumped on the Ford bandwagon.................... We hope the...

    PS.......... its true................the P7 and the late model HEMI are just a hair away from one another.

    5.7 Hemi in a Duster

    good points........... Yes, our target goal of $1650 is realistic for a Forged assemb. 5.7 heads are not rare and neither are the blocks............... The oil pan is pricey for now, one company has a monopoly on headers, and there is only one intake manifold............ So, it will...

    Ford 302 vs 318

    the 318 also was TBI as was the 305 / 350 while the 302 was direct in 1986 Even the stocker came w/ headers............ It also was super super light................. The 351 is 2 different conversations...............the Windsor and the Cleveland The Windsor is SUPER SUPER...

    5.7 Hemi in a Duster

    If you won't put the motor into your car, why would we develop a high high dollar interface? Our tentative price for a FULLY forged rotating assemb. (forged crank, forged rods, and forged pistons w/ pins, ARP rod bolts, rings, and bearings) is about $1650 - ish The intake is...

    5.7 Hemi in a Duster

    I understand that SOME want to keep the EFI............ We will work for stand alone EFI / DFI units as we get better at fitting it in the frame rails...........there are alot of loose ends to tie up first: cooling, accessory brackets, and ign. harness to name a few. There is nothing wrong...

    5.7 Hemi in a Duster

    thats what's so funny..........this IS easy to work with. A 5.7 HEMI is a 345 while the 6.1 is a 370................... They use shaft rocker system..............same diameter as the 340 shafts...... The water pump comes right off with about 4 bolts and is on the timing cover...

    5.7 Hemi in a Duster

    that was done w/ a truck manifold......................sub par it was also done w/ stock heads and a Comp 273 cam.............improvement to be made there...........IN SPADES! So imagin a 450 hp combo w/ a 150 shot at 300 lbs lighter than a 440. :headbang:

    5.7 Hemi in a Duster

    Oh really? What type of hp / trq numbers do you think you can get out of a 5.7 / 6.1 HEMI? I don't feel the answer is with computers and EFI / DFI...........try carb-ed
