The work on the 302 heads is interesting. Are there any other videos anywhere that goes into more porting on them. there Are 3 of them so far and I think he was doing 5? i picked up an xe 262 cam and magnafluxed 302 heads. I don’t think the cam will perform well with the heads in their stock...

I don’t know either. That first guy who was posting wind n crazy was giving a lot of really good information. He got banned probably right after. probably for something minimal. since then, I’ve not seen much on really porting these heads. he seems like he was pretty close to giving the rest of...

I finally got it. I pulled the shafts out and primed. Did not work Turned it and it’s still didn’t work so I turned the engine while priming like you guys said. oil shot up about a foot in the air when it hit one spot. I switched the shafts around and put them in correctly with notch...

‘if I take those shafts off and just have the holes in the cylinder head exposed. With 80 psi and a drill for priming. Would that give me enough pressure to leak out and check that way, without pulling the engine apart. I don’t think I put the gaskets on wrong. But there’s no oil up there so I...

I’ve got the rocker shafts with the notch on the drivers side……facing the back of the engine. Got the notch on the passenger side. Facing the front of the engine. Was told it didn’t matter as long as they were opposite. The oil holes look like they line up when i rotated the shaft to check...

That’s unfortunate

Does a 318 porting template exist. There are enough working on these engines now to warrant something like that

Can you post more detailed pictures of that

The air gap manifold seems to be a mismatch to the rest of the combination. That’s a higher rpm manifold on an engine that Likes low end torque. the air gap seems to be more of a manifold for high compression, higher duration cams, 360 heads, and makes power more at the top end. You can’t...

No.....the 302 is a set of factory upgrade heads. The 302 is the last 3 numbers in the casting. They have swirl ports and heart shaped chambers. I pulled them off of an 87 van. A nice upgrade for a low performance engine

I’d like to end up with around 9:1 Im on the fence on these two engines. I am thinking of milling the heads for the 76 block Or just throwing them on the 69 block without milling.

Even with the earlier model 318. I wonder if I shave that much off the head. Will the 262 cam hit those pistons. I think that 69 had 9:1 factory. The 76.....no idea yet as it’s torn down right now.. It can’t be any worse than the smog heads and that low compression except that I lost the metal...

Running a 76 318 and using the thinnest mr gasket head gaskets I could find. I haven’t checked how far down the hole it is but I know it’s pretty far. Probably .060 or more I also thought about putting them in a 69 318. Higher compression but the pistons have the valve reliefs. Decided not to...

what is the max I want to mill off of this head? I’ve seen anywhere between .030 and .050 What are the drawbacks of going that much?

I used a lisle 18000. That kit looks identical to it To learn how to do it effectively so the cam would go right in. I went through about 3 boxes of bearings and 2 extra practice runs. The last box was just because I ruined 1 bearing knocking an old one out The cam bearings in the box are...

904/999 torqueflite My transmission isn't done yet but I went with the 2.74 first gear and a 1.52 second gear in the transmission. Even if you don't know anything about transmissions In my opinion. It's easier and cheaper to change out the transmission gears than it is the differential. This...

Isn’t the weind stealth basically the same intake?

here it is zeroed out- Here it is at .050-

The end play on the trans was .051 with the tail shaft housing on and all the parts back in and snugged down.

Lol......isn’t more better

What can you tell me about putting that 5 clutch job in my 904? I’ve got 4/4 direct/forward. Would it even matter? Inspection of a 904 torqueflite This is what I ended up with.

I ended up totally removing the transmission and completely inspecting it. It needs clutch packs and the front pump bushing. Other than that it’s in pretty good shape but was about to lose the direct drum gears. So I’m working on that. It’s completely apart right now. The engine is as well. I...

Damn.....just when you think your getting a grasp in this stuff.... You learn that you don’t know a damn thing. Short ramps.....Chevy grinds. Mopar performance differences.. I was set on the xe262. The main reason was that it had a good bump in performance with the nice idle sound. I...

I’m not looking at it. I’m trying to understand why the torque is high but the duration is high. If an268 is too much...... Why wouldn’t that one be overkill. It would seem like that range would be a 256 Not a 278

i don’t know why that’s so blurry...I turned to erase it and put a smaller picture in. Should have just sent the damn link Summit Racing® Classic Cam and Lifter Kits SUM-K6900 All of this makes me want to build the 68 block and do it right....except I don’t have a car to put it in and I...

It wasn’t 285 like I thought. It was 278/288 But this is what I mean...... Why is a cam advertised way above a 262 or even a 268. Increasing low end torque K6900 cam-

That now makes perfect sense. And your right....how it affects the performance doesn’t make sense but it shows the direction I can go if I want to find out. I figured a 285 was a 285 And a 268 was a 268 Except that 285 increases low end torque.....and the 268 robs it. It’s contrary to what...

I wonder about the @50 number I’ve seen cams with a smaller @50 and a larger advertised duration and it makes no sense I was taught that the @50 was to accurately compare cams from many companies. But then I see a lot of mixed up stuff. A 262 with 218/224 Then see the he268 with 218/218...

The most I really want is a 262. I haven’t gotten the heads taken apart yet. I cleaned them and painted them first so I wouldnt have to redo it after mild porting and messing with that valve. I did a water test and it went right through so I know it’s not sealing. It has seated and isn’t...

I like the the Celica of those years. They remind me of the Datsun sunny. They run forever....sort of. You don’t see them which means they don’t run forever. They are a pretty cool car. Something about a compacts that has the late 60s early 70s lines seems cool. Add a straight six or a turbo on...
