    Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......

    BINGO ! This is where a custom grind comes in . It’s not 1995 . You can make the car drive near perfect and have enough cam shaft Hyd to make 500 plus and still be street able

    If it were me - I don’t know why you need new valves on new heads if you’re buying them. Intake would be fine so long as the ports match but I’ve ported both my system max when I had and my box r. I have ran a powerbond balancer my whole time I’ve had blowers and it’s hands down best bang for...

    High port is the king of in line head no question. I’ve been heads up racing every year since 2014-15. Front runners are running high ports. For his combo he doesn’t need anything that serious but I was going to suggest a 225 high port originally

    The Johnson Hy lift I just put in my are good to 7500rpm He’s not even looking to go there . But they are 1300 bucks I have been 7300 plus no lift on ford lifters I agree id be using forged crank , good piston , and definitely internally balanced.

    You’ll never go wrong with cubic inch NA 363 I’d do a 205cc variant - custom hyd roller of some sort or a good off the shelf na cam to meet drivability goals but make power. That engine should make close to or over 500 at flywheel on accident if it’s all setup right. Cast crank should be...

    Progress Thread BluePrint 347 long block engine swap

    10.5:1 The cam isn’t exactly optimal either in my opinion. Not the best not the worst E85 is your friend at that compression Pump gas tuning window will be much smaller at that compression. My real concern here is ring gap. I hope the rings are gapped enough to not have an issue.

    I’m familiar with it. The way the 3 inch tails swoop up there is no space I’d have to go under the rear to have the brace fit. For what I’m doing I think it’ll be ok the car will only see the track 2-6 times a year tops.

    Build Thread My Never Ending 89 Notch Thread

    Cars been down since April . Changed the oil found a c clip in it which led me to finding it was a c clip from the plunger of my morel short travel lifters. This is semi my fault as there was some miscommunication between me and the engine builder. The engine was set up as if it were a low lash...

    Tubes are welded , can’t brace the axle as it gets in the way of the anti roll I have and also the 3 inch tail pipes. Adjustable tq boxes and mounts on the rear allow you of course move the factory control arms out of the factory resting and fully extended angles. Just slang for control arm...

    Fox 329 HP low for a stroker?

    I’d venture to say intake is untouched like you said. Not saying that’s where all the power is but I’m sure it’s worth something
