I stopped watching this guy when he went crazy thinking he's "finally made it big" cause some company used his engine as a prop for their commercial :rofl:

Interesting, are they just really low angle compared to stock heads? Maybe the pics online just dont do it justice. i remember the cast heads having a very pronounced angle... Guess I'll just buy the TF240s and see how they look. Thanks guys!

Hmm did they stop making them maybe? Was thinking of going with Trickflow either way, but all their heads on summit and on their website are straight plug. Maybe I'll shoot them an email and see what they say

I had the exact same problem with my swap. The 727 didnt come with the bracket, and I mustve lost the one off my 904 trans so I couldnt even compare it to fit. I just made a bracket myself out of some flat steel plate laying around. The shifter rod extends far enough down past the level of the...

Anyone running angled spark plugs? I know some factory heads had angled holes, but none of the aftermarket aluminum heads seem to have that option. Mine stock cast iron heads are straight plug and they work fine with the headers I've got, but just from looking at it I could get quite a bit more...

Yeah that k member looks super thin from the bottom. I have the same kit and didnt have to trim the mounts AT ALL. your pics from the bottom look like they position the motor a bit closer / further back than mine. You can see a bit of clearance between the back of the oil pump and the puck on...

Just got it driving after a few years building the 440 and cramming it in. 440 is out of an RV. Threw some 10.5 pistons and a cam at it, and an iron 4bbl intake for now until I swap my tunnel ram onto it. Wanted to iron out the kinks before I mess around with dual carbs. Had a ford 9" rear...

So I'm finally moved in to the new shop! or at least my half of it :p I'm curious about a sort of DIY hot tank using lye. I've heard of folks dropping parts in a bath of drain cleaner (or some other form of sodium hydroxide) and water over heat. Anyone tried something like this? Looks like...

Seconded! itd be neat to hear from folks whove used em. Heres pics of mine, excuse the mess. in the process of moving shop :rolleyes: This one just seems to be split plenum and then individual runners. Theres a small gap below the plenum divider bove the base, hard to make out in the pics...

Its been a while! family/legal garbage really postponed this for a while I got an amazing deal recently on some misc parts, and came with was an Offenhauser tunnel ram for a 440. base and top, all polished and lookin sexy, setup for dual quads. Practically given to me. SO you can probably see...

If you're looking for data on the extra load on your engine, you might as well include your drivetrain as well. There's no reason to care about your engine accessories if you're not going to take your trans/driveshaft/diff/wheels/axles into consideration too, and they'll likely draw much more...

Not quite. Torque is the determining factor on engine load, not hp (even though yes, they're closely related). That's why a truck with 300hp would probably have no trouble towing a 3-ton trailer, when you definitely wouldnt try to tow that trailer with a 300hp civic. An engine with higher...

Thanks for all the info guys! For the E-Streets vs the Performer RPMs, would that be a better call here? I'd be more than willing to make the price difference if there's a noticeable performance advantage. The stats and reviews between the two were very similar. Do you have more info on this...

My life is a lie :eek: oh well, the 727 was my first choice anyway. I'll just have to find a donor trans or maybe just trade someone for a 727 car trans

Oh I meant swapping internals and tailshaft housing. I've heard of people swapping internals and output shaft between the 727 and 904, but Im not sure if swapping the housing works too tbh. Im not actually sure if that'll swap over, anyone done this? They look identical, but...
