This was a stock stroke 383 in this test.

The 1.7 rockers are giving it a “big cam” lift. 109 L.S. This effectively is a larger cam than the cam card showed. The winner guessed closest to the lift with 1.5 rockers. Which were not used and irrelevant. Wonder how many street miles and cold starts that 600 lift cam will last.

You need to find out what pistons you have have now. Because the edelbrocks have a smaller chamber and can significantly in crease compression Otherwise all you need is gaskets. Regular fel pro’s will do. But the calculated compression may change what you want/need. Your nice rockers can be...

That would be interesting too. Like to see the difference between 360 and 340 bores Would also like to see the difference when the edge of combustion chamber is matched to the bores.

My champion has been in since 2011. It was tweaked when I got it. Had to stand on it to un-twist it. Bought for economy reasons

another thing is where the aftermarket radiators core is positioned. Many after market radiator to core support side flanges push the radiator back closer to the fan. That’s why stock recored radiators don’t have fan clearance issues, IF you run the correct fan clutch.

I have a 4 core Champion stock A-body width for my 416”. 450+ HP But I disassembled, cleaned and built my motor. So I firsthand picked all the scale between the water jackets and passages. I built a custom fan shroud for mechanical fan. How to with lots of pictures here: Building a Custom Fan...

Did he paint them another color? How did they know they were painted?

Ok missed that BOTH front and rear were all the way in. Yep, LBJ spacer could work. Bummer. IF it was just the rear that was in, you could pull the front in, get less caster, then reduce the caster in other side to match.

Ok. You need to work on it and put it in adjustment. Both sides need to match. So if the right side only can get 4 degrees of caster with -0.5 deg camber… then left side will need adjustments to match. It’s a lot of going back and forth

That looks like a pretty decent starting point. You just need to finish the alignment. Get the right side camber to -.5 deg for aggressive/autox driving. Then even out the caster. Just a WAG, you’ll probably end up with 3-4 deg positive caster. Nothing wrong with that. UCA’s did thier job. You...

oh geez! Wonder what car that hit him looked like? Where they hurt too?

Thanks for posting pictures. That was a much harder impact that the first pictures showed. The B-body gas tank filler location and the many modern cars’ lower sloped front end make for a bad combo. Luckily that blue SUV that looks to have hit him had a high front end. Although she might have...

At it again… Looks like an FABO type post. Couldn’t find it in Google image search.

Sellers here need to put some sort of digital watermark on there for sale pics.
