    Rocker arm geometry.

    Or rather.....Correct Rocker arm geometry collateral damage. The things you learn about rocker geometry after spending money on what looked like great stuff. I'm attempting to clean up a few things and then go on to time the cam in the 540. So I took the Indy EZ heads off and the cam out of...

    Big block heads and cams

    I grew up with my dad porting these heads in our garage in 1959. I've never run a stock unported iron head in one of our cars, that I can remember, since that time. The guy down the street was grinding the base circle off his cams on his bench grinder to get more lift and going a little faster...

    906 heads and 740+ NA horsepower?

    I had to pull the 906 "boat anchor" heads from the shelf yesterday and strip them, so I thought I might as well take some pictures of them as we had no pictures from years before. In 2011 we used them in a Mopar Muscle Magazine dyno contest at Comp Cams and they have been sitting lonely on the...

    400/450 stroker....Cheap parts, lotta work.

    Kinda got the 346 iron heads ready for the KB251 pistons. Flat chamber depths were from .084"-.102" and they are all now .110". The quench pad on the pistons are .260" tall and we'll have to mill about 1/2 that off or rather some .125" with the preliminary measurements. Cody and I are having...

    Head & cam selection...346 iron w/solid roller or Indy EZ w/XE285HL

    The thread on a head and cam selection for a 440 got me to thinkin' about some old 2014 dyno tests we did on a 8.9:1 compression 440 with 2355 pistons. I thought I had burned the old dyno sheets but there in the corner was a dusty yellow folder with a stack of 80 dyno runs. So then we have two...

    RAMM wanted to know about this 451..............

    You would think these La Roy clowns could do better than 3rd place. Here is a Mopar Muscle Magazine article from 2009 on the 451 that J.Rob was asking me about. Some pictures are available on the website also. There was a lot of laughing when we said we were going to make 700+ horsepower when...

    Air flows: Street Dominator & Edelbrock RPM

    There are a lot of other things I would have rather been doing, but we got involved in some flow test comparisons between the two intakes. We've got a 440 coming in for dyno tests and I believe we'll be able to tests the two intakes in back to back dyno runs.

    Sidewinder heads

    Some thoughts, by others, on the Sidewinder heads.........not that I mind this being on the low compression 400 engine thread, but the subject is kind of hidden there. An Error Has Occurred!

    383 Victor Dominator Intake?

    What do you think? We made this several years ago and never got it on the dyno or in a car. Modified 383 Victor Intake and a modified HVH SS4500/4150 2" Spacer. It was made for a dyno contest that we were going to run a 400 based stroker but switched to a 440 based engine so we never used it...

    'Pop's Engine' another 440 on the dyno.

    Dad built a 440 for his truck, started it a year or so before he died. That was, what man, 13 years ago? He finished it and stood looking at the truck through the living room window and said, "Well, I got it the way I want it and I'll never get to enjoy it." 'Coupla weeks later he was gone. So...

    Cam timing ain't important = free 440.

    HAH! I just got myself a free 440. Man had a shop here install a cam and timing chain. Turned the engine over and bent 3 pushrods. Shop told the owner, "She's ruined, we can't fix that!" He contacted me and asked if I would haul the engine away. Even after telling him we could easily fix it...

    528 Hemi on pump swill

    While it is fun playing with the new dyno, we have to drop the Hemi research for a while and get some other work done that people are waiting on (sorry for the delay gentlemen). So a quick note on the Hemi. We have discovered some oil return problems (among other things), made only a few pulls...

    451 on the dyno

    Latest 440 Source Stealth head set

    We were asked to do a pair of the standard 440 Source Stealth heads, good to .750" lift, for a 451 stroker in Iowa. When we first spoke he wanted 600 HP with a turbo charger. He has since revised his attempt to 750 HP normally aspirated on pump gas. The latest standard Stealth offerings from 440...

    440 Source Super Stealth, what flow #'s?

    Okay, we pulled the trigger on a pair of Super Stealths today, they'll be here next week. Its time to see what these heads will flow. We'll slip some valves in and do some OOTB flows, then work them over and see where they go. If they really do have more potential than the Stealths, they...

    Indy EZ, talks the talk, walks the walk.

    Well, if I was going to run a standard offset rocker in a aluminum head with a stock intake port opening, I'm going RPM or Stealth. If I'm using a standard offset rocker with a Max Wedge intake window height, its the Indy EZ. Never fully tested an Indy head myself, until yeaterday, when I...

    Stealth, RPM, 906 heads

    So after playing on the flowbench for two weeks of testing, we have some results for the Standard Stealth, RPM and 906 iron head with the standard stock intake port windows. At .700" lift the Stealth went 337 cfm, the RPM 335 cfm and the 906 went 338 cfm. When we opened up the intake port...

    Horsepower, compression ratio, airflow?

    So, how much airflow increase through the cylinder head, will give the same horsepower increase as raising the compression ratio one point? When does airflow win? When does compression ratio? Where's your proof, huh, who has tested this?

    451 strokers and lost cranks

    Factory 400 block, stock or aftermarket crank. So, how many of you here have made 700+ horsepower with your 451 and pushed the crank out the bottom of the block? How many have made over 700 horsepower with the 451 and never lost the crank (broken the block).
