    Engine Combo?

    Get the GT40 heads stripped down and checked at a "quality" machine shop. Most times a properly done, multi-angle valve job done on a Serdi machine will get you some good gains. If the guides are tired, pick up some replacement one-piece stainless valves and bronze line the guides for an exact...

    Hi Chris, Keep your head down over there! As for a Hummer cam, just add some propane to the mix. Sweet! Ed

    Just check the year and condition of the shortblock before you tear into it. You would be surprised what can be done with those lil 302 engines. ;) Ed

    Please educate a 5.0 noob... how much power can I make?

    Here's my take... Open track cars tend to put a lot of strain on the valvetrain. All my AI and open track combinations use severe duty valves and the PAC nitrided beehive springs and plenty of TLC for long life. It's not like a drag car with a few seconds of rpm. You have to stay out there...

    ONLY 280HP OUT OF THIS COMBO!!!

    The dyno curve is beautiful. No dips or hiccups. It's just a bit low for the parts. I was very concerned about the A/F since it was reading in the mid to low 14:1 range. That is too lean for my taste but with the equipment this shop has, they claim that's where they get the best results. I'll...

    AFR 165 heads, but what valve springs?

    As with most serious performance shops... We were attending the PRI show in Florida to see what the industry has to offer for 2007. That's why there were no responses to emails for the past week. In terms of valve spring choices.... We have five different spring "kits" available. Best to...

    Building a 347 stroker

    Eric, I ship a lot to the great white north and I know about those "tariffs"... What I'm trying to convey is when on a budget, look for "deals", not just cheap. What at first appears to be a good direction to go (keeping those mismatched parts) is really not a good use of your money...

    Building a 347 stroker

    There is an old cliche' that holds true no matter what BS is spread throughout the internet... "302 parts make 302 power" Anyone who tells you the small stuff that works well on a 302 combo, works the same on a 347 is only blowing smoke up yer azz. If you want to do this "on the cheap"...

    331 STROKER COMPRESSION INPUT NEEDED

    The heads "are" definitely the Chinese Edelbrock knock-offs. I know what PBM and other WDs like them sells. Visit that "other" web site for an 11 page diatribe on how much work it takes to get them "decent"... Save money and get AFR 205 heads right off the bat. They cost more in the...
