NOW THAT IS USING YOUR HEAD...S
"
And to think I almost scraped my old W2 heads"
Did they have dirt on them? Carbon build-up? Why scrape them?
We usually scale our dirt cars every week.... I've been saving up some old Ford flathead heads to use in the seat but it will still take another $200 worth of lead to mimic my fat posterior.
All you need is some steel and four bathroom scales.... they are called Ruggles scales. used by pilots to balance their aircraft when loaded.I have looked at and thought about buying scales many times over the 45 years I have been racing but never have. I am not a “tool borrower” either so I have never scaled a car. I’ve never really had an issue setting up my cars without them but it sure would be nice to have a set.
They both cracked out by the W2 under the headers. I heard they were prone to doing that so I stuck with the 3/8 2.02 intake valves. They flowed [email protected] then fell on there face out of the box. I did some quick port work and got them over 300 cfm and quit because I only had a .520 Racer Brown cam. It ran 9.80’s on pump gas BP93 on my 408.
Any specs on this combo that ran 9.80, i have a 408 W2 in my barracuda with unported heads that i would like to make a bit quicker.
Where are you shifting ? I’m putting a 410 together with w2 race closed chamber heads. I’ll be using a 5500 stall. Thinking 7400. To high or to low. 640 lift cam.
thanks, they are telling me that's where my heads start to come in. so I guess that 7400 will about right. ????/
Hey Garrett, I have a head that could use some Victor powder flow welding.a w2 has a crack in the intake port.never heard of the process. Who/ where and how do I get it done.I’ll give double scrap value and pay for the ride when you decide that they are really scrap. Got access to victor powder flow welding...
