yes exactly

And yes concerned about hot spots as marine engines are constantly under load

The rest of the combo is Scat 4” forged cranks, H beam rods, Icon 983 forged pistons, ported EQ heads, Edelbrock Performer RPM air gap intakes, Edelbrock 750 CFM Marine carbs, Mallory Marine electronic distributors, center rise Chrysler marine exhaust manifolds, Harland Sharp 1.6 roller rockers...

Not talking about near the bore, but where the quench area of the head meets the combustion chamber

I’m getting ready to install my ported EQ heads on my 2 408 motors. Before I install them, would it be wise to take a small sanding disc or roll to the edges of the combustion chamber where the chamber meets the machined deck surface? Or am I over thinking it? The guy that ported my heads and...

Look at the oil pan gasket for a 2.4 from a SRT-4, it has as close as you can get to a crank scraper in a production type motor. this is combined with the balance shaft housing that acts like a Windage tray.

How far can I go before losing Quench? .040? .050? I'm building 2 408s with EQ heads and Icon 983 pistons, would I chance more detonation with a lower Compression ratio at .050 Quench than the higher ratio at .040?

Side note, you want to make sure you uyse the 91-92 Manifolds, the later ones look the same but have smaller ports to increase back pressure in order to reduce emissions

Drive around the lake to Opel engineering in Streamwood IL, Ted will build you a killer motor

Actually its a bored out 273 as its an LA motor IJS...

American rice that ran 11 flat at 130 MPH... It would smoke your stroker A body, and it went around corners too... At the track it was faster than my 392 Stroker GCSRT-8, but it was slower on the street. The SRT-8 would kill it to about 330ft and the SRT-4 would catch it by half track, then run...

I had the same, ordered it from Bettenhausen Dodge, the day they released it for ordering, used my Vendor discount, drove the wheels off of it, had it at Road America, the Autobahn CC, Topeka, and many weekends at Rt 66 or Rt 41 draq strips. Closest thing to a 68 Road Runner Mopar has made...

And you think a F150 is a truck...

The problem is all the electronic bells and whistles are becoming mandatory thanks to the feds. The SRT-4 was just that, but the Dart was a flop and they pulled the line before the SRT Dart ever came to fruition. Damn shame too, I bought a Dart GT for my wife to DD and it is a fun car, it...

I just bought a running poly from a 64 Plymouth with 80,000 (180,000?)for 250$ complete from pan to air filter. If the exhaust aer in good shape, they are worth about 200$ Does it have a 4bbl intake? those are worth 300$ or so.
