I just bought some 1.7 frpp pedestal roller rockers and a b cam for my car at a swap meet. I have a few quick questions about installing these in my car.
1. With the roller rockers do i NEED hardened pushrods and guids or no?
2. Am i going to have any piston to valve clearence...
Yes this will be efi on a non roller block, however the 351 has a truck efi setup on it from a 90 bronco. i am planning on getting a 28oz flywheel and balencer as welll as some 351 swap longtubes. i believe the fuel rails can be cut and extended i read somwhere. the injectors and pump i was...
The car is going to be efi. I already have 3.73 gears out back so i guess thats one thing going for me. If i use the afr 185s and say a cheaper intake like a typhoon 351, and stay with the flat tappet cam its still possible to get into the 400 hp area? If i stay with flat tappet is it worth...
im not sure about horse power range...maybe 350 - 400?
honestly not sure. i know that obviously the roller cam is the better choice, im just trying to decide weather it will be in the budget.
Thanks for the replies. yea i know 3 grand isnt the greatest budget, i could probly go as high as 4 with out too much trouble i just dont wanna break the back but i have wanted to build this motor for so long. I know the t5 will have to go eventually but i figure i can do up the motor and...
The car will be a street/strip car. there may be some small nitrous doses in the cars future so i might as well just get the forged pistons. How much power you think the stock rods are good for? my worst fear is putting the thing together and having it granade on me.
One thing is i dont...
I am still trying to piece together in my head what im going to do with my 351 when i start building it, hopefull before the summer. This is my first motor ever so im trying to keep it around $3000 total give or take. I have a complete running 1990 351w motor. (1990 meaning non-roller cam) My...
yea i was wondering about the weight of the forged pistons and yea it might be kinda a high revver...so i will plan on upgradeing to somthing better in the rod dept...i kinda wanted the gear drive for the noise tho lol ...anyone else have this problem with the shavings in the oil? thats pretty...
Hey everybody i havnt posted in a while but ive still been reading the info on hear alot. MY original plan to build my 351 into a nasty 408 is kinda not so realiatic anymore after i added up the costs to build the whole thing. Im kinda thinking about staying with the 351ci now and i have a...
Obviously it would be restrictive, it would be for the soul purpose of passing the test then coming right back off. It wouldnt be on the car every day.
No i did not mean put a cat on the crossover section...that wouldnt make sense because there is no flow there. Im talking about the leangh of the h-pipe weld cats inline with eachother. just an idea
In theory, if i made an h-pipe OUT OF cats, i could get almost anything to pass correct? My friend mentioned it to me and i am just curious if would work or not. anyone tried it?
