Small update: The block required a lot of work. Previous machine shop screwed up, one hole was sleeved and it ovalized hole next to it which required another sleeve. Both decks were canted forward and it also needed line hone. This was supposed to be machined block that was ready for assembly. I...

I’m not worried about weight, I’m using 7/16 .120 wall pushrods in my own engine. Heavy pushrod is a good thing. I don’t have pushrods for this yet as I don’t know the length I need yet, but I was planning on getting some hardened .080” wall 5/16 pushrods in this…

With hydraulic roller cam and lifters?

Block is now bare and at machine shop. It was machined before tear down and assembled. It sat with iron heads torqued down for a few years, no heat cycles. I will know this week if decks are flat or not and decide what to do. I kind of like to get my numbers where I want them... Some progress...

Pistons are .01” down the hole. I was targeting .045” piston to head distance so will take off .005”. Block was machined before. Frankly I’m debating with myself weather not to leave it as is. With 1008 head gasket it puts me at .049” piston to head distance which is not bad at all. Will be...

I like your cam more than the one I got but it was too good deal to pass. Lots of port work on W2s? Aluminium or cast iron?

I do that every time. Some of these blocks are all over the place.

I will probably do that as I want to deck it anyway, the same money where I am. This way I can skip 170$ cometic .027 head gaskets and use standard 1008 felpro.

I have 2 types of connecting rods that could be used for this: Eagle SIR 6123CB I beams and Eagle 6123C3D H beams. I like the weight of these I beams but I'm a bit worried these are too weak for this build. Eagle rates these I beams to 500hp and 6000rpm, which seems conservative? Anybody has...

OK I ordered the same pistons you are running. Decided to use the Hughes cam 238/[email protected]” 109lsa, 104 intake centerline, cam came with factory style lifters but slow bleed version from Hughes to save some budget as it was a great deal. This will have decent .578’/.587” lift with 1.6 ratio...

Yes I agree that it will make 500+ for sure, there is a nice power nation video on YouTube with basically identical combo making around 540hp. Cam they used is a little bit smaller but very very close.

Hemi is done and small block parts are on the plane. I’ll have busy January I guess!

Decided to go with Hughes hydraulic roller magnum 238/242 cam paired with Hughes 5006S lifters. I think it should allow me to get 500+ without problems.

Before this engine goes together I need to finish 605ci hemi, bottom end is all together and heads are bolted down. Just ordered pushrods for this. Should be ready in a week or two.

Carb looks good on this TF single plane. To my surprise carb is square jetted without power valves on both ends. I have the same approach in my Duster with 2x4 so I’m not too worried, but I did not expect that.

I did not mention earlier on that 360 block is a magnum block and i am not experienced with these things at all. I got Harland Sharp 1.6 ratio rockers dedicated for magnums with pushrod oiling. Also intake and carb finally got here with timing set and other smaller parts. Someone locally...

Another update, I managed to score this FST billet extreme 850 carb, so next piece of the puzzle is there. Now to wait for parts to arrive here....

Just small update, I managed to get my hands on Trick Flow single plane intake for this build. The only stuff to decide about is what cam and which pistons to use. For carb I was thinking to use something around 850 cfm with annular boosters. The VRS idea is done, I got one in my hands and I...

Yes this sound very good and sort of validates my power guess for this engine. So you have a single pattern cam from Jim, not long ago I used his 232/232 108 cam and was happy with results. I will probably get dual pattern cam this time with a bit less intake duration, tad wider lsa and .600+...

When it comes to cams, I really like what Jim Dowell @ Racer Brown does, I know Bullet and OCG also. With nitrous I planned to use port injected system in case of dual plane intake. Going to single plane will make things easier with plate system, especially that its going to be 200 shot tops...

In my experience the wider the lsa the higher the peak power. Normally I like using 106-108 cams but at this point everything is on the table. Need to start shopping soon, cash is burning my pocket here ;-) The problem with trick flow single plane is that they plan to make new batch in Jan...

Probably 500-550 area. If there is more on the table I will not complain ;-)

There are no ET goals at all, this car will not see the track. Itw more of a street warrior which will see some road course racing.

Does trick flow cnc match their intake to heads they are selling? I never had trick flow intake in my hands...

No cam yet for this so all is on the table, rpm intake can be sold in 5 minuters if needed. Im just thinking what to do here thats all. I have more experience with big block stuff. Built some 4" crank small blocks and frankly im impressed with what you get out of it so wanted to take the...

I wanted this thing to redline at 7000... I'm usually using rpm intake on things that dont see more than 6500. Another thing is that dual plane favors low end torque, and with stroker I will have plenty of torque, was thining about having peak power and torque a bit higher in rpm range. I like...

Hi Everyone It's yet another winter engine build. This time what I have on the table is 360 block, Trick Flow 190 heads, Mancini Racing aluminium rockers with 5/16 cut to fit pushrods and 4" Molnar stroker crankshaft. Unfortunately the only intake I have is Performer rpm air gap, thinking about...

I’m hoping for a better matched cam in a year. Then this intake will make more sense.

Ok I will say it, this is going into 73 Challenger with RMS suspension kit. You guys are the best so I posted this here for opinions.

Yes it’s Kia stinger in the background.
