Lets talk small block stroker cranks
Thanks on the Bloomer info.
I think you’ll be in good shape.
The way I see it, the engine could use more head but at the same time, it can make do with what your plan is. Pittsburgh racer has an excellent example though he is very light weight, the other end of the equation..... power to weight....
I forget what the trick flows flow but 300 cfm area is enough to make enough power to do your ET number. Of course, how you get it done is one of many ways the cat is skinned. I wouldn’t be worried about it. You did well with the W5’s. How well did there numbers do vs the Trick flows?
W5 is a bigger head with more cross section than this new TF head is ever gonna have.
My W5’s were the first set Ryan ever ported. They ultimately went right at 140@ 3220 on super stock springs, so he learned well from Brett.
The trick flow deal with the 418 isnt gonna be a max effort deal. Honestly, i am getting old(62) am awaiting hip replacement surgery this fall, and have zero interest anymore i jumping through the hoops to run 9’s.
Cam wont be big enough to take full advantage of even the flow numbers trick flow claims. Probably something around 640 gross lift before lash/ deflection. Might not even run a roller even though the shortblock is tubed and set up to do so.
I have Harland Sharp rocker gear and that stuff wont clear more than a 1.50 OD spring. Looking around, i couldnt find anybody that made such a roller spring( 1.50 or smaller) Then at Norwalk Vic Bloomer told me such a spring exists that is 1.46 OD. If so, maybe i will go roller, have to get that part number from Vic.
Car wont get any lighter than what it is( 3280 ish with my 320) so of i can run 10.20-30’s i will be plenty happy. Probably need bigger header tubes than the dinky ones i have, and a nice Victor.
Its a zero deck flattop shortblock, so it should have plenty of squeeze to thump pretty good.
Those TF heads are only 60cc
