if i recall right, stock on a 440 was around .450 lift on both sides. I don't recall the duration or overlap though

Let me get it. This is far from stock. Remember came out of a Donzi cigarette boat.
You got stereo exhaust anyway!
On the wagon I think I used a street el to pressurize the cylinders where there wasn't enough room to come straight out.
Lemme see if I have a pic 'cause I don't remember exactly
So all cut up with dirty underwear is your idea of a good day?

No way I can get anything in there. Takes three different wrenches to change the plug. From the top and bottom! When the head comes off I am drilling access holes in the inner fender!

Make ya an access panel like the early B bodies had. I can get ya pics if it’s help give you an idea
Just two holes and body plugs will do it right by the support tower of course. Have to see where it can actually go without taking support off of it.

That’s where the access holes are on the B body’s. So it can’t be too important there. Could always dimple them, that would replace most of the strength if not make it stronger
Really wont know till the header is off. I have swivel spark plug sockets so can be on either side. Deal with it when it is off. Needed to do it for a while.

Really don’t get why the factory did them on the B bodies but not the A bodies. Granted the A bodies weren’t ever intended to be mass produced with big blocks but even with a small block in there, having that opening makes things so much nicer
You can get to them if it was a la. Mine is about a 1/4" from the side with the headers. Wonder how close Mitches GTS is with a B?

I would guess not much different. 1/4 to 1/2 more room maybe. The RBs are taller but not that much
I actually pulled that with him totally forgot.

Good Morning folks
Good Morning All! The weekend, yeah!

Yep your right, taking the 55.
Chris, those access panels on the B body cars, is to access the upper control arm nuts. Chry did that to make it easier on the alignment guys. But they are handy to get to hard to reach spark plugs as well......
Very close, but I have stock Hi Dolla Manifolds on it. Can get to them all, but not real easy....
