clearly you aren’t in the engine building business because you don’t have a clue. This is why guys like Ramm don’t post much or even at all.

You try, but it’s hard to do because every ******* expert everywhere will tell them how junk their stuff is and how smart they are. Look at this thread. Ramm posted his exact experience and guys are telling him how wrong he is. I’ve said for decades every engine builder in his area should...

WTF are you talking about? You can put it in writing and that makes a difference how? The customer will still ***** about it everywhere and any chance they get. There is a reason why people that get PAID to build engines and have to make their house payment doing it ALWAYS say you’ll want more...

I have no idea what you are saying.

The poll should have included who gives a ****.

I like the grill. I love the scoop.

I don’t think so. The Engle lifters had an aluminum pushrod seat and they did not have captive links like that. PRH called it early. That’s a Comp lifter. Look at the link bars. Comp for sure.

Blow me. What difference does it make if it’s a /6 or a Pro Stocker?? Doing stupid **** is still stupid ****. I’m not bragging but evidently I intimidate people like you who prefer garbage parts and bad tuning procedures.

Yeah, that’s not good. It’s hard to see in the picture but that almost looks like a sintered bronze or oilite bushing material. Not saying it is because it may be the picture but usually brass doesn’t make chips like that. At least not the brass they use for those gears. If this is a...

lol. Post of the month.

I’d explain to you why you use seat to seat timing but you can’t learn. And of course if your god Vizard doesn’t say it you don’t know it. I wouldn’t buy another DV book with a gun to my head. Have you ever even seen The Horsepower Chain? That one book exposes a lot of garbage put out by...

I’d be real careful blocking the heat off for any reason. I say that because todays fuel does not vaporize worth a crap and without the heat from the crossover you’ll need to make a bunch of tuning and carb changes. I’d try to get the rivets out first and if they don’t come out then look at...

Yeah, I’d want to see the parts list and all the numbers off the dyno for that.

I know most shops around here are at least 110 bucks an hour. Some of them are at 130/hr and it’s going up almost by the week. The cost of chemicals is going berserk and that’s part of what’s driving the hourly rate. And it won’t be going down any time soon unless the entire floor of the...
