    Boost question after rebuilt and head work

    Boost pressures depend primarily on the displacement of the engine, the displacement of the blower, and the drive ratio of the blower. Changing any of these items will alter the resulting pressures experienced. The boost formula: (25.58 x blower displacement x drive ratio) / (engine...

    Conventional to Syn back to Conventional

    Are you kidding me? The Tornado works better than advertised. Basically what happens is the air comes in and... it sorta... Well see, normally when the air comes in with a standard tube and it hits the corners... umm... There's like this cyclone thing that swirls the air which picks up extra...

    EGR passageway in heads

    On the end of the head closest to the firewall. There will be a crosstube connected between both heads which then continues on towards the intake.

    D&D Motorsport CC plate question

    Apparently my wit wasn't as quick as yours. Actually I'm not worried about the height of the engine at all since I'm obviously going to need to cut a hole in the hood anyway. I'm worried about even being able to put a hood on there at all! If you look carefully, the end of the back cover for...

    D&D Motorsport CC plate question

    I recall some rubber thingies I pulled off which I suppose you could call bump stops. There was one upper and lower upon which the spring sat on. I have neither rubber "bump stops" or the dust covers anymore because I replaced the entire setup with coil overs. I looked through all of my...

    which 351?

    Take some time to really plan this through before you jump in over your head with a Cleveland (or Windsor for that matter). About the only thing they have in common is displacement so it is vitally important that you are able to differentiate between the two. The 351W is, as explained earlier...

    D&D Motorsport CC plate question

    I'm using those plates though I have no clue as to what exactly you're asking. The real question is how in the world can you possibly have over 26,000 posts?!? That's insane!!

    Aftermarket coil???

    You'll certainly get more bang for the buck with a TB. Injectors may or may not be necessary at this point. Tough to say for certain though it looks like you will likely need them shortly. Beefing up the ignition system really isn't needed until you either add boost or mess with the timing...

    Engine builders/Machinist, got a cylender surface Q

    Sounds like you've learned an invaluable lesson. Or at least experienced one; only time will tell if you have in fact learned from it!

    Unless you take off the silencer which he implied was removed.

    Which injector size

    custom cai

    I don't think I would consider the stock intake without the silencer a "cold air" intake setup. In the stock location with the silencer removed you are stuck with the air from the engine bay which will be an easy 50 degrees hotter than the ambient air. If you are able to, it is highly...

    Engine builders/Machinist, got a cylender surface Q

    Calm yourself brother! There are two types of gear heads in this world, those who have gone through what you are now and those who will soon. Definitely take a breather and think things through carefully and as fully as possible. I jumped from one sporadic idea to another and now have an...

    Duh... I'm confusing weight with volume. I'm a moron sometimes! :stupid:

    E85 Bible

    Hmmm... Not entirely sure what you're doing with those numbers. I assume you're pointing out the larger capacity pump and injectors needed for E85? As I sit here and contemplate these numbers, I am beginning to wonder something... Someone correct my thinking. Assuming an 80% duty cycle...

    Engine builders/Machinist, got a cylender surface Q

    No, you still read it wrong (or else I suck at communicating!). You need to either run a small base cam with the spider tray and dog bones to keep the lifters in the proper alignment OR a normal roller cam with the retro linked lifters. Or in other words, normal cam and retro lifters OR retro...

    Engine builders/Machinist, got a cylender surface Q

    Holy cow! Enough questions?!? :eek: Doubtful. Once again, though, it all depends on how much surface needs to be honed in order to get an acceptable clearance and how much tolerance you are willing to accept. In my opinion, file sets are the only way to go for high performance motors...

    E85 Bible

    Due primarily to high costs of gasoline, a wild frenzy for alternative fuels has recently mushroomed across the nation. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 named ethanol and ethanol blends as a commercially available alternative fuel to typical gasoline. E85, comprised of approximately 85% ethanol...

    Which type/size headers do I need?

    I ran some numbers for you to estimate an approximate size for your headers. I had to estimate on items such as VE, peak RPM, and your cam numbers, but they won't change the following all that drastically. -Shorty Headers- Primary: 1.487" x 24.4 - 27.3" Collector: 2.510" Tuned at 11.6"...

    Engine builders/Machinist, got a cylender surface Q

    Personally, I never recommend a sleeving unless your engine is set up for it. Usually creates additional headaches. If the scratches are not very deep and you are not running a pro class engine (which it appears you are not), a light honing will take out the scratch and still leave you within...
