    victor jr intake to much for 347

    After my experience with a Victor 5.0 on a 302, you should go with a SuperVictor 8.2 for that 347

    Head gasket woes

    Please recommend your choice for a 'high performance' head gasket that won't crap out under pressure. I've blown 2 Fel-Pro 1011-2 head gaskets, and I am looking to upgrade to something more durable. The only reason I've been using them is becuase Trick Flow recommends them... why, I dont know...

    SS ARP header studs will take care of that. Not cheap though

    Break in period for new lifters?

    But if you swapped heads, they do require a short break in period for the valve guides. Its also a good idea if you install new non-roller rockers that use a sled-fulcrum (i.e. factory style)

    Break in period for new lifters?

    Flat tappets have to be 'broken in' by establishing a smooth wear pattern, analogous to seating new rings to freshly honed cylinders

    Radiator choices...

    I've had 2 aluminum radiators, the first was a Summit unit, worked extremely well but the tubes started breaking off after about 3 years so I replaced it with an FRPP one a few months ago.

    No tailpipes or dumps

    Dumps are cheap and easy to install, so you might as well put them on.

    ahhh yes another mpg thread

    I've driven across Arizona on I-8 using slightly less than a full tank, which I thought was pretty impressive. I would fill up in Yuma and not have to stop again for fuel until I was getting off I-10 in Lordsburg, NM to head north to Silver City.

    Got my C&l maf on

    I've been using the same C&L 73 for 5 years. Probably works so well because it reuses the factory meter

    All headers seem to suck

    I've had the same set of BBK L/Ts for several years, the only thing I hated about them is installing the header bolts so I bought some ARP stainless header studs

    Thumbs down on trick flow products. *rant*
