My W2 head 408 made made really close to 550HP with a single 4bbl and TTI 1 5/8-1 3/4 stepped headers.
I recently came across a set of the 1 7/8 TTI W2 headers second hand for a great price. I picked them up, but I'm now on the fence. I'm not certain the gains warrant the effort to swap...
I am currently removing a McLeod RXT dual disc ceramic diaphragm clutch from my Dart. I was talked into this clutch in 2018 when I didn't know a great deal about clutches. I can't stand it, there is no modulation, it is like an on-off switch, when it bites there is no forgiveness. These are...
Although I've not had my wideband installed yet, plugs looked decent, manners and driveability were great.
I took out of box, jetted 2 settings down on primary side, 1 step down on secondary side, to account for my 3200ft elevation. I took great care to ensure throttle positions were...
I agree, ultimately it would be better with 2 4150 carbs well tuned, but for the cost and simplicity, the 650 AVS2's are a great setup. Those are currently on my tunnel rammed W2 408.
I believe your statement is 100000% correct! Probably not many would care to admit they have more issue with who did it, rather than the fact it was done.
I am not trying to convince you that the GV is the way to go, or I made the correct choice, I clearly understand that is not an avenue you wish to pursue. It is for the very reasons that are stated in this thread that I chose that path. Both the regular A833 4 speed, and GV units are tried...
Not specifically what you asked, but I was in the same scenario as you.
I decided on a fully aluminum Passon case 18 spline 4 speed, street slick shift kit, and a Gear Vendors OD. My parts have just arrived, I am about to start the assembly process.
I didnt like the ratio split on the...
Oh Boy, I'd love to see that! My Son is a huge Page fan, I'm not far behind him! Josh, my Son, is saving for the Dragon Telecaster.
Although pickup arrangement is different, I chose Butterscotch Blonde as it reminded me of Keith Richards!
Yes, a 69' dripedge bassman with 2 x 15 cabinet. Was able to find freshly restored with new tubes, caps, upgrade to 3 prong grounded cable.
In truth, my son is the real player!
In my opinion, I wouldn't spend the money to rebuild old heads. When the smoke clears you will likely spend 60-70% of the price of a new set of Speed masters or Performance World heads, and have an inferior head at the end of the day.
