Is it acceptable to run shims with locators?

I have a set of aluminum heads that I am building, and when measuring for Installed Height, I get 1.920; the spring recommended for my cam has an installed height of 1.8", So I am off by .120", but I will use a .060 spring locator, which leaves me .060 left. Can I run a shim with a locator? Is...

That makes sense, thanks for the info.

The guy that tunes mine is really good. There are a lot of good tuners in the holley world.

They have a 2.08 intake. When I did the equation, it said I should use a 106. From the input, sounds like that is still too tight for my application so I will probably do with something a little wider

That sounds like a great combo. Im glad you like it. Self Tune or did someone tune it for you.

I think many don't want to go two sizes smaller unless they have to. I think many, including me, are looking for the best balance of power and driveability. If my engine is down 5-10hp, but it is better on the street, I'll take it.

I have done 5 now and they all are great. One of them is a tunnel ram 440 with duel Holley sniper and it’s a dream to cruise around.

Yes, he has helped me in the past and I do plan on contacting him.

Maybe I am just stupid. I do have some concerns over the valvetrain geometry since it's already a struggle with a flat tappet, but I am confident that I can get it pretty good. I plan on pulling the intake and checking rollers periodically and staying on top of them. Lord knows I have broken...

I appreciate all your input, and although a tighter LSA would give me better all-around power and better low end, maybe this cam with a 110 LSA might be better for the street since I am using EFI and have a 4-speed.

Does it matter that my self-learning is disabled since I have a professional tuner? Can a good tuner tune around narrow LSA? Or is it not worth the extra you get from an optimal LSA? Thanks in advance.

Could you elabrate on this? I didnt know a throttle body injection would affect it? Not sure if it's easily explainable, but if so, I would love to hear it.

So with that being said, would you still recomend a 108 or 106?

The rods are 6.123" and from Molnar. I don't have the pistons with me, they are at the machine shop, so I am not sure of the part number. Let me see if I can get a part number this week.

Will do. It should be up and running this summer.

Well, I would love to make around 500-550, which I think it can make. I would give a touch of power for driveability.

They are off-the-shelf pistons (my 10.6:1 is a bit of estimate with the head gaskets I am choosing) The .550 is with a 1.5 ratio.

I am building a stroker 340 with a set of trick flow heads. It's a Molner 3.79 stroke with their H beam rods and Wisco forged pistons. The compression ratio is going to be 10.6:1. OTB Trick Flow Heads with Hughes 1.6 rocker arm. I have an Edelbrock air gap and Victor Jr for intakes (Any input...

Thanks everyone, I wish this had a bypass and heater hoses. I am looking to gain 1/2" or so to fit a radiator electric fan combo I have. I know other combos will work just trying to get the one I have to. I wish they made a short shaft water pump for our small blocks.

I saw this on an engine for sale on FB marketplace, and I had never seen one before. I sent the guy who posted it but he neve responded to me. I would love to learn more about it, so if you know anything about it, hit me up.

Yes it is 7.074" OD

Yes, the ATI balancer is marked so does that mean my new timing mark will have to align with the zero mark on the balancer? If so, I think it is going to be easier to modify my later version with the integrated timing tab.

sorry, its a 340

Ok, i am going with a ATI balancer and they interfere with the timing tab of the later covers. I can modify the timing tab or I can use the older cover with out the timing marks. I guess I have never payed attention to the set up on the older models. So if I go with an older version without the...

Any pulley alignment issues?

Yes, I was... I am more curious on what applications people are choosing. I am guessing some want the aluminum to lighten up their rotating assembly. Is there a downside? For a street strip set up what is the recommendation?

Which ATI balancer is everyone running? Do I want steel or Aluminum. I know I want Internal Balance because my new engine will be internally balanced. When I look on summit it seems there are too many options. Engine Specs: 340 block Molner 3.79 crank Molner H beam Rods RaceTec Pistons Trick...

In the second pic it just the oil feed but that pic is to show the oblong on the spacers. The first pic shows the oblong mounting holes
