Gotta agree with this. Being that the M1 was an upgraded copy of the Holley Strip Dominator and retaining the spreadbore carb pad for ease of the regular guy to just swap on the TQ and class racing that demanded the stock carb be used, it’s not a bad intake at all. The Edelbrock Victor is just...

You fat fingered bastard!!! :rofl:

Thanks. He does the videos from his Driod phone. I do have the W2 porting templates. He did the work first. We talked about it and it basically went like this. Charlie (C) You have a set of W2’s? I’ve never seen a set up close. Are you porting them? Who’s doing the work? I’d love to take a...

500 AVA-II

Be shocked

The templates do a good job to start you out. There not a full porting template set for a maximum return or ability. A few people, often those who have done a fair bit of porting, have bashed the MP porting templates which I think is unfair to others that have never or lightly ported heads...

That would be correct. To make things more difficult, using a tube to sleeve the pushrod hole isn’t an easy thing to do since there not a nice round machined hole. But it’s possible to use a brass tube and then fill the space with an epoxy. JB weld or other. The pushrod pinch is NOT the...

What is the replacement head?

Like his cam a lot. It seems to read 106*-LSA. By the Gizard numbers, it should be 105.xx. The single degree will never be seen/noticed. That cam will hand out maximum torque for its LSA. The 78* of overlap is in the street strip category. Once the engine is off of idle, it’ll operate just fine...

With your replies and steadfast way, I got nothin! Be stubborn and do it your way. Have fun.

Ok, you screwed yourself and will stay there until you rework your exhaust. Throwing away an easy 40+ ft. lbs. of torque is on you. Totally ridiculous to ask for help and throw it away. If you actually feel like your 416 has a lack of torque, revisit the reply above. Also add in, headers to...

What tube size is the headers? What size engine? What style cam?

The narrow centerline helps low speed torque. A dyno would be required to maximize torque down low. After the header pipes come to the collector point, maintain the collector diameter for as long as the dyno reading shows a higher low rpm torque output. Ideally speaking, after this length is...

Cryptic is his style. The information is out there. Finding a he people racing these kinds of engines is in print, current. For the majority of people, building this type of engine is a huge PIA. Mostly due to lack of knowledge. The engine build and giving the engine with parts to complement it...

In his head, you can’t or your lucky to make more than 2hp per cfm of head flow like it’s a barrier that only pros can make. It takes knowledge of which he just doesn’t lack but has a massive void over and proves it in arguments each and every time. He is giving perfect examples of it right...

All over and well documented

The problem with this guy is his knowledge is only around what he reads here and sees on TV or reads in a magazine. While good information can be had at such places, he is limited. He cries a river after getting roasted and tries to for a conversation twisting & bending the words to suite his...

Now you just need to get greasy.

I liked Dan’s cam suggestion. Not to darn shabby Dan. A wide LSA for a smooth idle on a more aggressive lobe while not being far off from a friendly driver with mileage. Its duration is a step above standards command lots of lift for how well OEM ports flow. It stays under .500 for an easy...

The camshaft is only one part of the combination. I’m going to ask you a small slew of questions that we all need to know the answers to for any type of cam recommendation. Otherwise, you’ll get answers like, “Use a .750 roller cam with 1.6 rockers.” What is your; Cars weight Trans Is a...

Most guys that run and drive the streets use a Hyperutecic piston. The popular one is the Keith Black pistons. I’m not sure what is available from Federal Mougal, but I use there pistons in a 360. Super similar to the KB slugs, these featured a slick coating on the sides of the piston for...

That’s by the numbers and often is not the case.

I don’t know the reason why it’s a no go thing for who ever said that but IDGAF I’m running it.

It’s a nice unit for sure.

The tensioners just are to reduce the cam timing flutter under high wear conditions.

Chain guide? No such thing or reason to have a “Chain guide.” I like the double roller with the Magnum timing chain tensioner.

I laugh my *** when people tell me “I’m putting you on ignore.”

Your welcome and deserve it.

A route I’m preparing to take. I’ll use 3.55’s w/245/60/15’s and a small cam. 220@050. The math on the 1st and OD ratio works out well for what I’m looking for. The first gear ratio is a slight high @10.96 while the OD (.71 - truck OD trans) comes to 2.52. While not the ideal ratio set up...

But I give him credit for sticking around trying to learn something.
