No my post had BBM heads in mind, however don't get me started on the "BigMouth's" which are a small block Eddy and DO have a relocated pushrod...
Yup Ron's (the guy you did the 572 for) buddy, what a PITA this new job is turning out to be. <<See aluminum main cap thread. J.Rob
I don't know if he was happy or not , thankfully this was a forced induction deal that likely made the heads perform, flow results be damned. J.Rob
Yeah that's the BIG difference in what I observe-the starting point. An OOTB Eddy RPM--Goes 257-263 cfm on my bench untouched--Heck a OOTB Victor...
Still....must be a ton of work involved. Best I could do was 298.5 cfm from a Eddy 5090---Made almost 700hp @ 469ci though. J.Rob
NONE of this surprises me. The port is just too small and too fast for the shortside. Even getting a REAL EQ head to flow above .500" is a...
It really and truly is probably the most tedious and time consuming operation in the whole block machining process. There just is no easy way to...
Yeah it was $1500.00 nice-but worth every penny. A good toolmaker's vice comes with a certificate of parrallelism, square, true, flat, and a known...
Agreed--See? Its your fault they're still like this. LOL. JK. J.Rob
Thanks, Here's a couple of photos of the current dilemma. No more bearing tang notches. I will have to machine them deeper. Think I'm gonna go...
This is interesting to me. I ordered QFT 600 VS x2 for the planned tunnel ram, and had my carb guru go through. I flowed them with the choke...
Absolutely spot on. Bearing tangs are barely there-also agree on the off -center comment/ also agree on the--"sort of suck" comment. I'd never use...
No idea--wasn't my call-customer supplied. J.Rob
I overshot the first line hone by a thou and a half and had to cut the caps. I used my flycutter in the mill and this is first thing in the...
You would think aftermarket caps specifically made to employ ARP studs wouldn't have to be machined on the #3 cap for thrust adjustability, but...
Just wanted to share last weeks work menu. I've been line-honing a little longer than line boring and the two go hand in hand but line boring is...
I'm in eastern Onterrible. J.Rob
I agree with you when it comes to $$$ . It's not that the block gets butchered it is however an absolute fact that a useable 340 block is alot...
First of all, I've worked in shops that AG work was the primary demographic. Second of all I never said anything about using AG sleeves...
Ontario is massive, maybe one day. J.Rob
Why would it be at a significantly lower cost? The same amount of machining is required no matter if its for a tractor or a road vehicle. I think...
Does your son have a CNC for block work? Serious question. J.Rob
Might wanna take a look at this one--wish I never sold it. J.RobNew life for an old 340 (stock stroke)
You're your own worst enemy if you're not interested in taking it to .060" (If sonic says :thumbsup:) for way less $$$$. J.Rob
That's exactly how I feel. J.Rob
In process, I have not prior to this however. J.Rob
Longer runners lower torque peak--just look at the cross ram stuff which is a tunnel ram laying down. The CSA and cylinder head characteristics...
Not true at all. Quite the opposite most times. J.Rob
Since we are talking about the "Average Moparian" I think this is an excellent example with a hydraulic flat and another excellent example with a...
Because I'm using the OEM lifters with the OEM "dogbone". J.Rob
