    Help with pushrods

    I recently installed Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads on my 351w. I read through the instructions and saw that the recommended pushrod length is 8.05 for a 351w with a hydraulic roller, so these are the ones i ordered. I've been playing with the rocker arm adjustment which are 1.6 roller rockers...

    New Cam help

    Ok so i have a 351w and I was putting in my new cam today and after i got it in I started wondering how much play back and forth should there be in the cam? I bolted the thrust plate down and the cam moves like an 1/8th of an inch back and forth. If this matters it is a hydraulic roller cam...

    Springs, Shocks, and Struts Oh my!

    I have the H&R Supersports on my '03 Vert, and I love 'em. One thing though, they are loooow, i was looking under my car the other day and I parked over a pinecone and noticed that my car barely cleared it. But they ride great and I can outhandle my buddie's S2000.

    New Cam

    Because I'd have to change my pistons to clear the valves. The max lift w/stock pistons is .540. And I already have forged pistons and would like to keep from shellin out the extra bones to get notched ones.

    New Cam

    I'm going with a roller cam, and I'm stuck between these two: 230/236 @ .5 and .513/.529 and then 224/224 @ .5 and .533/.533. They are both Comp Cams and its going in a 351w with trick flow twisted wedge heads. The first cam is under their profile of Xtreme Energy, and the second one is under...

    351w setup

    Well I put in two diff. cam specs, 5.33/5.33 and the 5.13/5.29 outperformed the other one, but thats a desktop dyno. I'm not sure how accurate they are. And what sense does it make that the performer rpm is gonna make more torque than a torker?

    Really think that about the Torker 2? Even though its a single plane intake?

    351w setup

    Ok guys recently i posed about porting/polishing stock heads and having them fit for bigger valves. Well since then I grew some balls and I got Trick Flow Twisted Wedge w/2.02 and 1.60's. I've decided to go roller, so i've got the trick flow roller rockers, and i'm on my last decision, the...

    351W Setup

    Ha ha thats pretty funny. I hadn't thought about how much weight you're saving as well as the performance.

    351W Setup

    The deal with me porting and polishing my own heads was that he was going to hot tank them, mark 'em and show me exactly what I want to remove and what I don't. And I still think I will go with the aluminum heads but Harold who owns the machine shop is a very smart guy. He has an original Boss...

    351W Setup

    I keep going back and forth between the aftermarket ones and staying with my stock ones. Yall make really convincing arguments that make me want to spend the extra 4 or 5 hundred on the aluminum ones.

    351W Setup

    But, if you don't have the money, and it outflows the aftermarket heads then whats the price for being lazy? I take it back, I'm going with my stock heads, the aftermarket ones have single springs, and its an extra 100 bucks for dual.

    351W Setup

    So aftermarket aluminum heads it is. Trick flow is the way I want to go. But still if you go to fordmuscle.com you can read their flow tests. Home ported and polished 351w heads with 1.94's and 1.60's outflow the Performer RPM heads.

    351W Setup

    I respectfully disagree with you on that one. 1.84 intake and 1.5x?? exhaust ports are sad at best. If you talk to people about early sbf they will tell you anything to do with getting the engine to breath better is where you need to start. And no that does not include valves, springs...

    351W Setup

    Well I visited the machine shop today, and he said $175 to cut it for bigger valves, $175 for a competition valve job, $50 to resurface them, and $125 to machine them for screw in studs. He told me to take them off and bring them to him and he'll disassemble them for me, hot tank them, and mark...

    351W Setup

    You really think so? I will be porting and polishing the heads and intake myself, and I've been told that alone will save me in the neighborhood of $400. I would like to put a nice set of aftermarket heads on, but fordmuscle.com's write up of porting and polishing stock heads with a...

    Polyurethane, Polygraphite or Midolyne bushings?

    I second that, I've had their polygraphite bushings on my car for over two years now, and they don't squeek a bit.

    351W Setup

    Yeah the specs on the cam I'm most likely going to go with are 230/236 @.50 and 513/513 with 1.6 rocker. Its a comp cams hydraulic roller; cam grind number = XR276RF-HR.
