Yea... they are fine.. they not.Those don't look too bad!
No. You're going to have to have them measured.Yea... they are fine.. they not.
As far as I understand, within this casting# is different cc chambers options?
Can you tell visually what cc we have here?
Not different options, just the tolerance are so great that it could be anywhere in that cc range.Yea... they are fine.. they not.

Yes i did i havent found any yet... and most likly shipping is killing the dealHave you looked for a used set of promaxx or SM heads? no reason to avoid used since even if you get new someone will have to check them out anyway...
just meassured with a simple caliperDifferent size main brgs. It is possible that not all the crank journals were ground to 020 under. Unusual but possible. Measure crank to make sure.
Sounds good.. if you want to get it done look at some howards cams in the same specs... they are good about keeping stockthe damaged has been done.
440 is Sold!
the 318 bottom end is assembled with new rings and all new bearings.
( i did the piston flip/swap method, as a ol skool racer trick = i always wanted to try that lol)
Hughes whiplash cam is ordered and on BACKORDER lol
the Ebay Airgap Dual plane intake is here waiting for installation ( nice piece actually)
the Speedmaster heads are ordered and in the "build to order stage"
it should be the best approach for the SBE build i ve been looking for.
PS:
the 360 J Iron heads are at the machine shop regardless for inspection and .030 mill
they have Comp valve springs for .500 Lift Max
and i will sell them once they done .
I didn't find much of the howards brand that matches and makes up for the low CR.Sounds good.. if you want to get it done look at some howards cams in the same specs... they are good about keeping stock
I'm not a cam expert, i'm sure someone will chime in with a suggestion for a substitute thoughI didn't find much of the howards brand that matches and makes up for the low CR.

I hope you have the rods facing the correct direction, because they are directional. I'm sure you did.did the piston flip/swap method, as a ol skool racer trick = i always wanted to try that lol)

I'm the farthest thing from a cam expert, but cylinder pressure was a concern when I built my engine because it replaced a 400 with 100-105 PSI. That thing would start and sounded good but was pitiful otherwise. It needed over 20* of timing to even start to act right.I'm not a cam expert, i'm sure someone will chime in with a suggestion for a substitute though
You also have little squirter holes that need to face the inside, but if you just swapped left and right and had them flipped it should be in the correct direction.Yes I got the lifters.
Yes chamfer side to the crank weights... otherwise it wouldn't rotate since it binds when torqued
Exactly what I didYou also have little squirter holes that need to face the inside, but if you just swapped left and right and had them flipped it should in the correct direction.
