Mine did they same thing. I spent the money for a oil separator pcv system and haven’t had any issues since. But without it, the right breather would spit. I also have a very low vacuum engine as well. Should have put some more thought into it like you did and got it done on the cheap!

Sounds sweet! Maybe me and a buddy or two will come test it out once they get it built!

Where’s the new drag strip? They re-opened Mid-America in the fall of last year of you didn’t know (even further than Kansas International for you unfortunately). The have completely resurfaced the entire track, updated facilities, going to be a real nice place I think and definitely intend on...

What do you want to achieve out of the combo?

Just read through this thread and great build! Love how stock looking everything is too. My engine builder was also a stock eliminator racer and held the title for several years so I can agree that those guys know how to get engines to make power. The W2 setup he put together for me has ran...

I’m betting you’re fine. Watch the timing and read the plugs. They will tell you how much timing the fuel can take with your combo.

Do you have aluminum or iron heads? That’s low enough DCR for either. 8:1 iron and 8.5:1 for aluminum is the rule of thumb. Seen some builds here get away with a bit more with aluminum heads.

I believe the thick gaskets I use are Fel-Pro 1609. As gzip mentioned, I’d have machined the edges down if my intake wasn’t already powder coated. So my only option was thick gaskets.

I had the same problem but with a Victor W2 and fabricated covers. I can’t recall off the top of my head who makes them but they are a double layer of cork material with metal webbing in between. It will raise the cover enough to clear. The only downside is that they tend to compress over time...

Yes it was a fresh build. Had oiling mods done in the block when I had it rebuilt. Oil pressure didn’t run that low before and the changes in the rebuild were lifters and the oiling mod. So one of the two caused the oil pressure to be lower at idle than before I suspect. When it’s cold, idle is...

Running the Pro Plus lifters. I have about 10-15 psi idling and increases with engine rpm. No issues yet.

Another supporter here of the W2 head. They were on the car when I got it but when I had the engine rebuilt, had them ported and went through. Ended up with custom intake valves (couldn’t find what we needed off shelf) but that’s about it other than some push rod clearancing. After seeing every...

Just caught up on the thread. Numbers are looking good Brian! Looking forward to seeing it.

Yep probably not a question that can be easily answered. Wish I had more miles on mine so I could give better feedback on longevity. Motor is probably right around 580-600 hp naturally aspirated and pulls my 3300 lb (race weight) Dart mid 10's in the 1/4. Don't have many miles on the motor yet...

Eh I trip over my own feet every chance I get!

Ah yes good catch! I didn't notice that was @.050. I was wondering why the dynamic came out so high when the static wasn't crazy high

Here's what I came up with using the Wallace Calculator Camshaft, Rod Length, Boost and Altitude Correction to Compression Static compression ratio of 11.65:1. Effective stroke is 3.39 inches. Your dynamic compression ratio is 10.03:1 . Your dynamic cranking pressure is 213.79 PSI. You'll need...

Brian you've now crossed the biggest hurdle! Congrats brother and keep at it!

Stock eddy heads on a stroker. Jeez give that thing some air to breathe to take advantage of the arm! Oh and video or it didn't happen

I understand that completely. We should never take everything we read here on these forums as gospel . We post up suggestions, experiences, etc and people can read and take from it what they want. You can throw in your input all day long and I think it's great to have the information out...

Oh please old wise one. Tell us more since you obviously think you are the master engine builder! Tell us how awesome you are! Go on! And by the way, I took that advice from a builder who was the national record holder for several years in stock eliminator class. He built his own engines and...

Sorry about that. Rear main is still holding up. Been to the track a couple times since. Only leak I had later was around a loose pan bolt.

Sure do. IIRC, they were 51cc when we first checked them and 53cc after builder did a little chamber work. Chad Speier did the port work on them

And one thing to think about too, your compression ratio is greatly increased when you put a 4" arm in there. So pay attention to the size of the combustion chambers in the heads you get and the cc's of the pistons. If you get a small chamber head, the CR will be really high with just a flat top...

I have the Eagle forged and the rods are 6.125. They come in the kits so it's nothing you'll need to buy separate.

So far 10.55 and around 127 mph. Should be a 10.40 car once it starts getting better 60' times.

Can't say I'm familiar with it. Sounds like a sweet car though! Drag radials! Street tires are awful. I run 325/50/15 MT ET Streets but looking to go up to their 30" radial.

I have to tend to agree with this. The 417 I currently have is a good running engine. Runs on 91 octane and will run 10's all day day long. Besides a low 8 second 3rd gen turbo Hemi Dart, I am the only one in my local group that has a small block and it's actually the fastest of our street cars...

With it being a rear sump it does not need the gates. So no it doesn't have gates. It does still have the same scraper that the others do.
