Dan, You know we've said the same thing from day-1.........."Imagin this in a light A-Body" We're going full bore into this relm and our motor is almost done.........we're going to do a big write up for the websites we goto so everyone can see that the cost really is reasonable and that...

for a street car there is nothing easier than the Edelbrock for a first timer trying to learn - Edelbrock for racing - Holley THe Edlebrock is very very simple...............no gasket below the fuel line, no vacumm stuff (mech secondaries), and I can tune it with 2 allen wrenches, a...

kudos to you............paint work is long-slow work.............i respect someone that has the patience.

Wow......................that sounds like a hell of a motor...................sounds expensive. How is this project going?

We'll be doing this starting in December..............we'd love to have you down if you want to come and see first hand................ As you know, we're also building a race motor as well with a carb running alky using a sheet-metal intake...........but really the process is the same...

I read earlier where some are considering using the truck intake...............I highly suggest ditching the truck intake and going with the 6.1 (if you are using the truck frt timing cover). We port the 5.7 head and change its runner window....................we epoxy and reshape the 6.1...

We at Frank Racing Inc. in Houston will be releasing 3 rotating assemb. by the end of the summer. Econo - cast crank, forged rods, forged piston (big bore) 4.00" Street - forged crank, forged rods, forged pistons (big bore) Street Extreme - forged / offset crank / 1.88 journals, forged...

the full, layman's response to the question is this: You have 2 "timings" that are discussed in automotives - ignition timing and cam timing...................both are in regards to their timing in relation to the piston (usually at TDC) While ign timing is relative to WHEN the spark...

I agree with this diagn. If the thing was nosing over at the top end, thats a classic case of valve float...............you never mentioned spring pressure or how old they are/were. I also agree that it may be a tuning issue but I don't feel that changing the cam all of a sudden makes the...

#1. I prefer the 6-pack hood and we might need the space. #2. I prefer the orange; any shade because of the historical relationship #3. I love those recreated Ralley wheels in 17" #4. I actually like the frt spoiler

yeah........................don't get cheap stuff. Shop around for long necks...............you want your tool back as far as possible so you can see what you're doing........................get good lighting. Just practice port matching and blending............ Call all your buddies...

considering we do this stuff at the shop, I'll give you a few good tips: #1. Even on the full port, start with the gasket match #2. Cut about 1/4" - 3/8" down into the port and match to your gasket #3. When you're done you'll have a ridge......blend the ridge into the rest of the runner...

I agree............... I think you run the same valve train and work on the suspension and the short times..............there is power in the tune; I bet alot I would also consider playing with the cam install degrees to bring it on as early as possible..................cranking...

I'd need to know where you are shifting to know if its "too much head". (thought I'd never say that phrase) :lol: Anyways............ Next is, "what kind of suspension are you running" and what are your short times...............you don't need much power to run low 12's If you can...
