6th and FINAL month!!! In the books!

Month 5. Was just posted It's the final assembly process. Last one coming up. Dyno testing.

73 went to cast crank IIRC your parts will bolt on with proper blueprinting.

http://www.amosauto.com/Articles/Mopar/Tech/the-long-over-haul-3 They left out alot of the flow numbers and such online but its in the print article in month 4

about 500 a day here too the shimming of the rockers, to be done right takes a machinists time - probably in the 75 - 100 per hour range. He will also want to check things over since you threw it out there about the liability. Honestly - since you say the shop is a good one - have them do it...

yes the comps have a hole both the 8043's and the originals ( i forget the number ) I dont have any good pix on the web of them but i used both comps and Manton PR and they both had oil holes. When I swapped heads - i swapped pr's and the wear pattern is outside of the oil holes

My manton PR's and comp PR's all have the oil hole in them - made 627 hp with no oil through the rockers and there is no damage - just friggin put it together.

run em

not the front and rear Pro-Gram makes the complete set but it aint cheap

Month 3 is out - Pre-assembly & Balancing 430 Month 3

also - PLEASE clean out that pan before placing it on the block again - I had several weld boogers that were on there from splatter and you dont want them roaming around in the engine !!

I got my last rotating assembly from Rod Bloomer @ BPE - He does small block mopar ONLY and every single piece he sent over did not need any further machining - aside from balancing of course.

Month 2 is out.. http://www.amosauto.com/Articles/Mopar/Tech/the-long-over-haul-1

Month 1 of the build is posted on the auto enthusiast web site. http://www.amosauto.com/Articles/Mopar/Tech/the-long-over-haul

what oil pan gasket did you use?

BPE sells good stuff -

DONT CUT THEM Just use the remflex gaskets and you will be a happy camper!!

balance is in the neighborhood of $200 depending on if they have to add weight. you need to check with local shops - I know you put the feelers out - but that is a can of worms. I just had mine CNC'd and it's not the cheapest route, but you get a much more precise engine in the end.

man that would block the **** out of that 8.25 rear - thats for sure!! Couple vids from this weekend - 430 Startup & Idle - YouTube 430 idle & rev - YouTube

no offence but I made the same power, with an eddy head and alot less money. The roller in my engine may be the equalizer between the heads you have and the cam I have... I really dont know for sure. BPE also has a 4.250 stroke crank - that R block will handle it - the indy heads will handle...

i'll have to look up the intake valve closing degrees on the cam card

i drained the break in oil and put in synthetic - thats it as far as turning things up goes I want to test my small headers vs the big ones, and some different crankcase scenerio's I'll let you know when the magazine articles start coming out - lol

We spent today changing the oil, cutting the filter, and running the valves....Looks good and all the rockers didnt need adjustment. Took readings on cranking PSI on all cylinders - the small cam was 145 - 150 range - the big one is in the 135-140 range - i guess the overlap really take a chunk...

TEAL - Stock Eddy Head, Air Gap, 1 5/8" headers & small cam PINK - SDSS Heads, Victor 340, 1 5/8" headers & small cam WHITE - MCH Heads, Super Vitcor, 1 3/4 to 1 7/8" step headers, & big cam interesting to see the graph - the torque really moves up and down the RPM range, but stays at the same...

it all depends on the weights of the rest of the rotating assembly. Price is not always the best bet for parts - in general - I spent a little more for rods, bu they didnt need any work at the shop - same with the crank - sometimes if you cheap out and the rods or crank need to be worked on...

I'd rather throw gaskets on it then pull both heads and drag them to a machine shop to machine them...

i like remflex the best

yes its the final longblock... we had fun today finding hp - started out at 580@ 6500 - was way lean - needed to jet up ( was at 82 & 86 ) and timing was at 30 ( where the other 2 heads liked it AFR was in the high 13's and low 14's - :o - next pull had jetted up to 84 & 88 - made 609 @...
