Wonder if you have to much airspeed over the short turn now, especially with the pushrod pinch opened up. I'd bet adding width to the short turn might help?

I see now where you said you didn't measure the bearing clearance. That's a big no-no and will be extremely difficult to keyboard diagnose without knowing that. One other internet "mopar guru" built a 318 recently that went for a famous online dyno test, and he assembled the engine with std...

What were the actual bearing clearances when you assembled the engine?

If that guy, whoever he is, thinks oil pressure is related to rod side clearance, then he should be called a "idiot" not a "guru" that IS not your problem!

I cant help, I have never used crane pushrods. If its custom, I normally use smith brothers.

I have discovered the ignore feature is a great thing! Not interested in a guy who doesn't own a car or build engines, giving out advice on a car forum. Dan the man with no car

Lots of good mopar shops around, especially if your willing to travel a bit, or even ship

And david vizard drives a v6 mustang

F#$k david vizard

You wanna see people whine, tell them what I sold you your R3 block for, lol

And if you need to do all that to a factory block to withstand your power goals, you need a better block PERIOD. How many idiots are gonna spend 2k dollars on a weak *** 302 block when you could buy a WAY superior block from dart for the same final cost and make more power?

David vizard is a story teller/book writer. Tons of "theory" and "formulas" But hes also a crook. He **** a good freind of mine who has a machine shop also, out of a bunch of labor for machine work he never paid for.

I really like the bamm lifters also. If your running any w type head, or indy with offset rockers, I like the offset pushrod seat option

I'm not gonna call anybody. I asked YOU to provide the BASIC info on how this engine, that YOU have bragged about performs. You CANT, so I'm fine with that. End of discussion

PM to discuss

So no actual data.....thanks

Ok, as a engine builder, I'm just curious to know the particular details of what it runs. If there is no actual data to back it up, so be it. I'm not concerned about pbr, he can speak for himself, but his results are all over this site, for all to see. He gets more out of his builds than most...

John has probably made more passes THIS season than your buddy has in the last 5. That's what I think he was getting at. And if the elevation is the excuse, post the rest of the particulars of these passes, I'm open minded!

That would be a perfect way to ruin a good block. I suspect the shop trying to sell you that hasn't bothered to probe a lifter bore and tell you how far out of true it is. With that backyard system, you can follow the original lifter bore, which IS off, and put a bushing in there even more...

Where exactly is he "wrong"? That high power exotic engine isn't even as fast as pb racers flat tappet 360

Forget that tube hassle. Send them to me and I'll bush them. Let's you set lifter to bore clearance that way also, rather than being stuck at whatever dimension your old block happens to be

I agree with everything your saying

I personally like the 3.79 stroke combos, good ballance of extra stroke but not excessive. Add a set of W2s or indy heads, it's a great combo

Yeah, but in my opinion, I dont see any real advantage over the 4" stroke, and it also increases rod angle, thrust load on the cylinder and a shorter piston comp height. Most ALL of the stroked sbm builds are cylinder head limited anyway. But again, that's just one guys opinion!

I could have built you one and shipped it to you by now! Still can if you are interested!

Lots of people have. Myself included. Did some R&D work for another shop, found that upper 260 cfm is possible with a good valve job and bowl work. Not very difficult. HOWEVER, compared to a stock OEM magnum head, they are slightly worse flow wise until you work on them.

What I did was to simply mill the intake for valve cover clearance. But like pbr said, gotta make sure you have pushrod clearance, it gets tight.

I think when a guy is trying to step into this level, the price of rockers shouldn't deter him. Quality costs, and T&D are really nice parts. Even harland sharp aluminum rockers are north of 1000 bucks nowdays

I thought the indys just simply used big block rockers? Mine had rockers allready, so I'm not sure

Either one would absolutely stomp his old procomps, even AS CAST
