my head hurts.Think I will quench it with a few beers.

Sad indeed

I hang out at my buds machine shop and have seen 3 motors ruined by these rockers. Adjusters are the problem not the fulcrum.Search proform on here. There are horror stories.

You like flirting with disaster. Do you have a low pressure cut off.

You can buy heat shield for plug wires and cut it the length you want and slip it over the cable.

Sounds like something fell in the intake and scratched the cylinder wall and interfered with the valve.Closely check the piston top for telltale marks.

let us know how you do.

Like your post says,at 90 youre running a mid 7. With his gears his 60 and 330 will suffer leading me to a mid 8

You will probably not wind 3rd out. 90 in the 1/8 is a lot better than a flat 8. sounds like an 8.40 car to me. some 26 x 10.5 et drags would help

Either route is a major undertaking that will require mad skills. From your rear end question I have to ask if you are up to tackling this aggresive of a project. It may have a final cost of multiple thousands.

I like the way you think.

about 10.5 to 1 with aluminum heads and a lot of bleed off on the cam.

I may be learning something here. The accumulator is to keep oil pressure in the event of a problem? I always thought they were to prevent dry start up.

53 years old and I never knew you could reuse rings. Learn something new everyday.

broke + nitrous= walking soon. Not as cheap as some think in the long run.

I wonder if the restrictor plate made it seem like it needed a bigger carb?

The statement it feels like the brakes are applied worries me. When the case is cracked from a bad sprag it feels like this. I dont know if anyone has told you this but never do your burnouts in first gear and let off or the over running clutches suffer damage.The previous owner may have damaged...

I will butt out. You guys are professional mechanics and i,m just a plumber who turns wrenches in his own garage who has no choice but to believe what he reads till the author steers him wrong. Never said a carb was a cure all but do know that in a lot of cases a soft top end will benefit from a...

I'm really wondering if the cam is centerlined wrong

All right flame away. If it doesnt have any top end it isnt the converter as mentioned and it isnt the cam as you said your six pack cam was smaller so what is it?I run 750,s on small blocks. That 451 has a rod ratio that needs to breathe is all I was saying. (stolen from Diamondback))>> Get the...

that still dont explain no top end. Thats a big bore for a 750. ithink it should have more like a 950

no top end on a 451 it needs more carb

I dont think thats bad at all for a set up that sounds streetable.

Should have tried here

Maybe sneek a look thru the oil plug.

Was looking at old posts and if the damper in this post 0,s at 5* atdc wouldnt he always be setting the timing retarded instead of advanced or am I missing something?

40 degrees no good.to much total advance is destructive. initial much less important.

lean pop is eating the tops of your pistons if they arent forged.
