I recently saw a new casting from "Steven Sun" on Speier's site and he really gave it a very good review as he is using them for his Chevy program thru Chris Cobb. I have heard that Steven Sun is one of the best China castings and maybe the only one to use.

What do you use to seal the valley tray to the underside of the cyl. head along each side ?

We used big block chevy forgings in our SBM and the rod length was 6.442, reground rod journal on crank to small chevy of coarse. We did not have that much stroke, we patterned ours off of a couple guys from Cleveland that ran a Duster in the very early days of Pro Gas. There car was black with...

You can't find a better guy alive than Larry Meaux to give an opinion on what you are doing ! He is the KING of cyl. head flow and how to make power, just ask Chad Speier who's another great cyl' head flow guy. Watch out for his SS/GTFA Cavalier this year with a 1970 LT-1 350 combo in NHRA.

Looks real nice, where did you take it for the block work ?

What do you think you have in the heads, rockers & manifold ?

Man, that's a nice looking block ! Did you have it on order ? How long to get it ? What kind of air do those heads move ? My buddy's 3400 lb. RoadRunner went 9.29 with B-1 heads and short shifting it @ 6200

What car is it going in and what kind of suspension does it have ? What are your power expectations ?

I just found the same thing with my 440 that I dropped a valve in when I tore it apart. I did not assemble the engine, it came in the car I bought. Looks like the ring rode along and did not kill the cyl. wall, amazing !

I'll bet the factory parts are the Dana 60 housing and maybe gears, your thoughts ?

Hey don't forget Dave Koffel and the Flintstone Flyer , Maloney Chrysler/Plymouth out of Massilon Oh. 1965 Hemi Plymouth and thru 1969 with the match race Barracuda with injected Hemi, clutchflite & strut front end. Engineer, innovator of B-1 heads !

Hey, that's my buddy's Roadrunner in the add ! That is a bad original A-12 car ! 5.79 in the 1/8 @ Halloween Classic

Give Brian Smith a call in Texas, Smithinnovations, he's an excellent fabricator among other talents !

agree 100%, that's why I love watching real DRIVERS operating there fine tuned machine manually !

I agree, there's a guy named Mike Laboda that used to run the UMTR North. (stick shift racing ) that has a similar 72 small block Duster. I think he moved to N.C. maybe he will post up a couple pics.

Better yet, with that overbore size how much thickness is needed on the thrust side for the block to live at say 650-700 HP, filled of coarse ! Thanks

When going to 4.375 overbore , how much cyl. wall thickness is acceptable to you ? Say if I were to sonic check a std. bore 400 block, what number would I look for to be good for that overbore ? Thanks

sometimes I would drill small holes under where the tubes were being welded to the main hoop, kinda make a continuous vent so no gas pressure could get caught in a tube. And yes , below the main hoop thru the plate,floor ect... I tried to hide all my vent holes, you have to plan ahead.

Anybody got a good set of SBM B-1 BA heads or B-1 BA M/C heads with some flow numbers. I have a bare set of M/C heads waiting to get done.

How about Lance Line up in Minn. ?

Brad Van Lant, Steve Whan just to name a couple

Was anyone @ ESTA in N.Y. last weekend to see " Bullit Bob Reed" lay down a low 8 second run in his silver bullit 68 cuda ? I heard he has that thing flying ! I don't think there's a man alive with more passes down the dragstrip behind a HEMI ! And He's STILL PULLIN' GEARS !

Ted, I don't see the advantage for changing these ports from oval to rect. Indy cyl. head makes a nice intake that is oval and I'm told it works very well,especially in the torque area.

I have heard about that 360 truck project in the late 70's from Dave Koffel. He said that would have been a killer sleeper combo. Does anybody know if Fred Flagle is still around?

Here are some pics I took of the heads in question. Does anyone know if these heads are legal for any class (NHRA) stock/superstock. I think the casting date is late 74. If anyone has more info I would be grateful, Thanks, Frank

Anybody have or have any information on the EARLY W-2 heads like the ones Bob Glidden used on the arrow? I believe these castings were " hand wiped" and not production even though they had part numbers. I'll bet Carlton had some also for the Missle project. I'll try to get some pictures and...

10 sec. combo with 72 Duster all steel and glass, 344 ci. stock 72 block, iron early magnum truck heads, 2.02/1.60 valves, roller cam, holley strip dominator intake,850 holley carb, 1-7/8 to 2.0 headders with 3" collecter. 3300lbs w/driver 10.5 tire, 10.29@130 and change

Does anybody know the whereabouts of that green 72 duster that used to run out of Mich. by a guy named Tony? He ran it in the early days of King of the street. Is the car still around? Thanks, Frank
