    Rings? Need Help with Diagnosis

    The engine is out, so no big deal. If the pan's not off, drop it. Pull the Rod and pison and check it out. Look to see if the ring grooves were inline or the second ring is broken. If they look good, take them off and check the gap on them. Also check out the cyl wall. This is a good place...

    high rpm's

    It can be done, i do research on push rod motors at the University of Central Florida and we have designed SBC and SBF motors to turn 9000+ RPM. The 302 should actually an easier motor to get up there, as the mass of the pushrods is a lot lighter due to the short deck height (compared to a...

    To do it you need to know the following: CR = Compression Ratio Sv = Swept Volume (1/8 Engine Displacement) Cv = Crevice Volume (all the other places that air and fuel can be: head gasket, between the piston and cyl walls above the top ring, valve relief’s) Cc = Combustion Chamber CR =...

    How does my pushrod length look?

    There is very good chance that your Hydraulic Lifters will collapse as you check it’s wear patch on the top of the valve. When the motor runs and the lifters get oil pressure, they do not collapse under normal operating conditions. So if you set up your valve train to a collapsed lifter now...

    E85 Converting

    Completly Agree with you "samickguy15." "dave justice" and "bditty50" i think you need to do a little more research on the topic, but i don't want to deter you at all; there is nothing wrong with the idea, but what we are trying to say is that there are some other things that you are going to...

    E85 Converting

    The fuel system in a Flex Fuel Car is designed to deal with the corrosive effects of E85. The pump and the injectors are also built to support the increased capacity required to meet the Stoichiometric needs of an E85 motor you are going from (ideal) 14.7 to 7.6. But this is just my $0.02...

    E85 Converting

    Daggar is 100% correct, just converting over to E85 will destroy your current fuel lines and tank. Unless you plan to start from scratch on your fuel system, i would not recomend running E85. Walz

    Anyone tried Baer brakes kit for 4 lug

    I have Baer's on my 4 lug 93 cobra, they are 13" rotors though. They have been on the car for over 10 years now, i like them. I havne't priced them in a while, so i can not tell you if that is a good price or not. Good luck with that - get rear discs and toss the drums if you can.

    ported my heads, questions

    It will help a little bit, but from flow testing it wasn't what i though, most of the big flow gains come from the inner radius and the bowl. Walz

    Efi......Intake Spacer or no spacer??

    I figured that was the spacer that he was refering to, but I still do not see how it is possible to make more power with this, but am open to an explanation from someone?

    Efi......Intake Spacer or no spacer??

    There should not be any noticeable difference by adding a spacer to the throttle body, as you are only affecting the volume in the "accumulator" area of the intake (down stream the TB but upstream the runners). If you were adding an inch spacer to where the lower and upper intake bolt up, then...
