    Nitrous Oxide how safe

    I would think that that would have to cut the top of the piston off, not flycut it. The tight clearances have nothing to do with a power adder. u need to break the motor in NA and let everything seat. once u have a couple thousand miles on it and it consumes no oil, that way u know the rings...

    vic jr heads

    u will need to flycut the pistons. u will need to determine how much to flycut when u have chosen ur cam. probably best to go custom cam from cam motion or FTI. they will probably be able to tell u how much to flycut to get the required P/V clearance.then u need to measure to get correct pushrod...

    Mexican block questions

    try over on nmraracing.com. The Mexican has thicker webbing around the mains but I don't know what the limit on the bore is. the max bore on a 302 safely is .040 over. If it is OK, there will not be anything left to bore if u ever have an issue.

    Will a main girdle work with a 4-bolt Boss 302?

    ur not going to split a Boss 302 block unless u have more than 1500fwhp. u can buy a brand new Canton 7 qt pan and pickup from coasthigh.com for $349. a girdle on a race block is worthless.

    So After A Few High Speed Runs My Car Runs Really Rich???

    running too rich will wash out the rings, glaze the cylinder walls and prevent the rings from seating correctly. u need to get it tuned by a pro.

    HCI + SC

    go with the eddy top end kit then. performer heads, RPM ll intake and their cam. go with stud mount rockers, preferably 7/16".

    HCI + SC

    Holley heads suck. Just get the TFS Track heat heads, TFS stage 2 cam and track heat intake. This will fit with stock 302 pistons but u may have to degree the cam to get it to clear P/V.

    Are 1.90 edelbrock heads ok for a 331 or 347 stroker?

    302 parts make 302 power. eddy performers belong on a 302, not a 331/347 at least not in stock form. either have them stage 3 ported to flow 300cfm @ .600 lift or sell them and go AFR or TFS or vic Jr.

    Are 1.90 edelbrock heads ok for a 331 or 347 stroker?

    AFR 205 heads, Comp cam XE282HR. The eddy's r too small for a stout 331/347. With 10.7:1CR and this combo and the right carb, easy 375-400 @ the RW, NA

    how to "re" break in a motor??

    u s/h already changed the oil before starting it up. oil is only good for 3-6 months sitting. then u s/h have primed the motor by pulling the dizzy and using a drill to spin the oil pump drive shaft, ever before starting it up. Now if u have not done either, drain the oil and change the...

    why do my rockers tick?

    My RR were noisy as hell also. using Track heat 205 heads with Harland sharp 1.6 stud mount RR specially made for TW heads with offset intake RR's. preload was set at 1/4 turn. went to 1/2 turn preload and quited them down a whole lot. much nicer to drive. also aluminum valve cobers also...

    Ported AFR185's on a 408?

    Don't build a motor just to pass smog. build it like u want and just buy a sticker. We do it all the time in cali. Look at the TFS Hi-port 225cnc'd head, AFR 225 or TFS-R 225 cnc'd head. TFS-R 351 intake or Victor 5.8 EFI or CHP Spyder intake, custom cam, 2" primary LT ceramic coated in and...

    347 build?

    run a girdle and windage tray. The main girdle will not increase the block strength but will hold the rotating assembly together if the block splits. A windage tray will provide you with more positive engine lubrication by reducing the interior windage at higher engine speeds and frees up hp.

    331 build......

    check out coasthigh.com, keithcraftracing.com for 331 cast and forged s/b and l/b's. If I am building a s/b the difference between cast and forged is not that much and if u ever go to a race block, those forged pieces r good to 1000hp. build for the future, do it only once and do it right the...

    331 vs 306 wit spray

    if ur 302 needs refreshed I would just swap out the stock pistons for forged, use the stock rods and crank and do a 306. throw some boost on it and be done. keep the rwhp at 450 and u will be fine on stock block with a good custom tune. if ur s/b has alot of miles on it like 150,000 I would then...
