    Yes. It’s a very smooth running engine and should be very streetable with that cam.

    These headers didn’t do me any favors.

    So, I just bought a 543...

    Peak numbers for one pull were 716hp @5400 and 710tq (I forgot where that fell). That was without the spacer. With the spacer, we got 706hp @5700 and 701tq @5000. This was the better of the two power spreads by a long ways. It really wanted more fuel with the spacer, but unfortunately I didn’t...

    So, I just bought a 543...

    Well, the engine is on the dyno. It runs, doesn’t leak, and will be run Monday morning to see what it has. I ended up getting TF270 heads, Indy intake, and a billet Holley Dominator.

    Wish me luck… (Zybar coating)

    Correct, that is the color I went with. The cans come in few different sizes. I went with the 8oz can. They say that’s enough to do a set of long tube headers and that seems to be accurate from my experience. I sprayed it at 40psi (they recommend 30psi) and that probably worked to my benefit...

    Wish me luck… (Zybar coating)

    It comes in a can. They have three colors; silver, black, and bronze. I went to Harbor Freight and bought the cheapest spray gun they had ($15) and used that. I’ve never used a spray gun in my life! It applied incredibly well and very easy. I did miss a small spot (simply didn’t see it until I...

    Will do!

    I am hoping it works half as good as it looks, and holds up just as good.

    Wish me luck… (Zybar coating)

    I took a chance and I coated my TTI headers with Zybar. The original ceramic coating was really looking like Hell, so I blasted them clean and sprayed them this afternoon.

    What is going on with Trick Flow??

    If you’d have called them three weeks ago they’d have told you late May.

    Edelbrock RPM opinions....

    I don’t know if I’m going to get into trouble for posting this, but I have a set of RPM and E-Street heads for sale.

    What is going on with Trick Flow??

    That could be. I never looked at their website. I called and placed my order over the phone.

    What is going on with Trick Flow??

    Did you try 440source for the TFS heads? They had a few sets available last week.

    What is this planning thing you’re talking about?

    What is going on with Trick Flow??

    I’m glad you were able to get through to them. They told me the same thing. I didn’t ask about buying bare heads though. I ended up buying a pair of heads from 440source. They should be delivered tomorrow. I’m working with Isky to get the springs I need for my application, as PAC somehow doesn’t...

    What is going on with Trick Flow??

    If I remember right, it was between 11am and 1pm Central Standard Time.

    What is going on with Trick Flow??

    I called them a few days ago and had no problem. I was only on hold for about 3 minutes.

    Heads will be here Friday.

    Thank you for the heads up. They’re closed today, so I’ll order a set from them first thing Monday morning.

    So, I just bought a 543...

    I called Hughes last week about that. He told me the porting would be $1,650. It makes more sense to me to use these heads, sell the E-Streets, and buy new TF 270 heads when they’re available. Out of pocket would be very similar and I’d still have the RPM heads to put back on my 440.

    Yes, it’s a Milodon unit with the black Milodon billet housing.

    For sure! Thank you for the replies.

    So, I just bought a 543...

    This engine was in a monster truck, of all things. Maybe alcohol was a fuel they had readily available, I’m not sure.

    So, I just bought a 543...

    Ah, okay. Nope, it isn’t anything super high. He thought it was 12:1 (which it may be, as I haven’t done any measuring of any sort yet) but he also thought he had 75cc heads on it. The 6091 casting number says they’re 84cc.

    So, I just bought a 543...

    That is correct. The springs in the E-Street are for the roller and I would indeed be swapping those to the RPM heads. I disassembled the engine (the short block is intact yet) and visually looked things over last Friday and things look well so far. With the pistons in the hole where they are...

    So, I just bought a 543...

    That’s what the Edelbrock guy was talking about! These, and my RPM heads, are the 6091 casting.

    So, I just bought a 543...

    Your thought process is similar to mine in this situation. I can always get the TF 270 heads and an intake later when things are more readily available. Can I have fun with it the way it is as long as it runs? I can have fun cruising around in my /6 Duster, so yeah, I can. When I was talking to...

    So, I just bought a 543...

    Yes, it has a girdle. Main caps appear to be cast. I’m not sure about studs.

    So, I just bought a 543...

    I’ve been looking pretty hard for a big block stroker short block and happened to stumble upon a complete 543” stroker with not much time on it. I felt it was a pretty good deal and I jumped on it. There is one aspect of the engine I don’t like, and that’s the choice of heads this person used...
