I'm in the same boat. How come no one make these? I've talked to several people that need them and if you want one you need a car that will soon be in the crusher.
I'm all for hot rodding but, in the words of keyshawn johnson, "Come on man!"
Besides its hard to sleep on a duster with a turbo whine and loud *** hiss at every shift.
So the 904 is a no go unless its beafed up? Is that something that you can do with a kit or is it just not worth it? Will any old 727 do? What about a 4 speed auto, what are my options there?
The car is a '67 Dart. Daily driver for me would be 20 miles a day through city traffic and short stints on the freeway. Exhaust for the 410 small block will be 1 3/4 headers, then 3" all the way back through dual cherry bomb vortexes. A plain A904 trans with stock tq converter. 8 3/4 rear...
BJR and Moper, you guys are great. I really mean that. Its guys like you that keep this hobby alive by passing on your wealth of knowledge to guys like me. Thanks!
Man I started a big thread and haven't even chimed-in in over a week. Sorry guys. This was the craziest work week I can remember. All kinds of helecopters breaking, and on top of everything we were getting autited all week by Big Brother FORSCOM. yay....
What I was origanally asking...
I'm no math wiz by any means... or an engine wiz for that matter. There's a ton of talk however on intake port volume and a million different theories on it. Since and engine is a machine and the are many givens (or constants) why can't figuring out optimal port volume be as simple as plugging...
Another advantage is greater volumetric efficiency. If your using a big power adder though it makes more sense to go undersquare so you can get the best of both worlds. Thats why top fuelers do it.
Yes I am running power brakes.
Also, with the stock rocker arrangement, will I be able to get that much lift?
Without using taller or wider springs, how can I still maintain good geometry and valve control?
I was planning on using a hydraulic roller.
Since it looks like the heads are going to be the limiting factor, will these smaller heads choke the engine with that much cam?
I doubt these heads can handle that much lift in stock configuration.
