Did I miss a post?
Why are the rings special order? Thought they were just a .030 340 bore?
Man that block needs some slim fast!
wonder what year the block is? I don't remember mine having half moon water passages.

Rings came in today! Assembly begins tomorrow. It was only a special order due to the fact Motorstate doesn't stock a gapless top set in that bore size. J.Rob

that sure is one complex build and a very nice engine hat's off to the builder and the owner .

I just got a set of 30 over 340 rings with gap less tops took about 10 days to get them to Winnipeg....and when did rings become so expensive!
Price J.Rob?

Usually they are between 279.00 and 299.00 USFRN's but I have seen them cheaper if you do some shopping.
That would be for a 1/16 gapless top set.

Some results are in. I found this really interesting. J.Rob

Hmmm. It held 500 HP from 5000-5900 and still didn't head down at 5900.

Had to go back and look at the cam numbers.
How much are you going to test? I'd like to see what it does on a 110 ICL.

I tested this engine in the exact same manner as it was before the rebuild. Why would I want to retard the cam? J.Rob

This is the HOT compression test results. J.Rob

That's why I asked how much the owner was willing to test.
If you moved it to 110 you'd be closing the intake later. That's a lot of displacement for that head.

See nothing a $400 set of rings won't fix!

So it not only picked up a good amount of torque but also some 30 HP.
And it keeps pulling where your print ends.

What carb is that? Hard to tell from that angle. I can see it's a Holley.

Would anything larger be to much on this motor?
