408 4x4 build
Yea, I dont do alot of wheeling more of a street/hwy truck. I just figured a deep pan might be over kill for me.
What do you mean custom pistons/chambers... Isn't a 587 a open chamber head, Whats the quench on those pistons. What is quench exactly and how do you figure quench. What exactly goes into factoring maximume compression with minimume octain. Doesnt the cam play a roll with cyl pressure. What about elevation, temp, humidity ect. I live in ND btw and are winters get blustery and summers get blistery. We sit at 900ft w/ no hills or step grades.
So you can leave the factory pan then, i thought you were trying to build a do everything truck.
You are building a stroker, not a low comp 318, with a big port 360 head.... do not even consider less than a 2.02 valve... DO NOT....
The stroker is going to draw in way more air then that of a normal sb, and it is going to do it faster, so keep that in mind, what is BIG normally for a 318 or 360 is not big for a stroker. Like ou812 said with the cl i also like the 106 thru 110 cl, but i still say you can get into the 230's some
My head was milled, the pistons were ordered to fit that chamber, that chamber is now changed from the other work, so the pistons were further modified to fit that chamber since it was no longer factory, also a fire groove was added.
quench or squish is where you move the compressed gas, or as you compress you push or concentrate the gas to main part of the chamber, also creating a turbulence or swirl mix , the fire groove adds to the swirl by mechanically shooting gas at the tip of the plug, which also makes a channel to shoot the flame across the area.
Adding quench you can add comp and lower detonation chances as does fire groove
I live in NY, winter can be as low as 0 degrees, or if im upstate it can be lower, and summer can be as high as 100.
I built my truck to take me hunting without having to walk to get where i want, and to tow my cars and boats and be able to accel up hills whether it's 8k on the hitch or 16k...
I also have a speed and power issue which it also helps me with, making a heavy truck feel nimble is not as easy as a car..
