9.70's now ? 360 now ?9.50’s Target ET.
9.70's now ? 360 now ?
Whatcha running now. lolWhat. Lol.
My old stock block 408 went low 9.70’s with a worn out block. (Edelbrock heads)Whatcha running now. lol
like that you are mocking up the 4 corners
that's the way I do it
I also check the bearing hole alingments which I'm sure you know but others will be reading this
let's see
I drill through the thrust into the oil feed to pressure lube the thrust
and chamfer from the groove to the rear at the parting lines
what else
discussion on the front oil plugs- I drill them to let air and foam out
heck= detail everything
I've found broken taps and short drilled holes even a broken drill in an oil feed
had to oil around the flutes- 440 with hundred thou plus on it with no problems
cheers
I’ve never had an issue with the thrust bearing with a powerglide except one time and it was my fault. Some aftermarket cranks (I’ve seen it with eagle and K1 cranks) are tight from the factory in the rear of the crank where the converter hub rides. I now test fit every one and if I don’t like it I take a flapper sanding wheel and give it a quick hit. I also go heavy on the thrust bearing clearance because of how high I leave off the transbrake.
What do you set your thrust bearing clearance at?
I’m not sure how detailed I’m going to get into this because there are a few things I do that’s a little different than the professional engine builders and I really don’t want to explain or defend my reasons for doing so. I’m just an old school hack that has tried a few things over the years and they worked well for me but go against “the book”.
