    Opinions: R302, Dart, World or Boss

    How many new boss 302 motors have you built? And until you have been around for 30 years or so with the reputation that Joe Shermann has I would tend to believe the Joe Shermann angle. And I also realise that Shermann is only one person and not the end all on this subject But I know of 2 more...

    Opinions: R302, Dart, World or Boss

    Joe Shermann who won the engine masters challenge and who has been building engines for quite some time now has called :bs: on the short skirt problem with the new boss block. he uses the new boss block on 347 builds all the time and i believe he is doing one for a build up to be in hot rod...

    stainless exhaust guys, welding question

    You are correct! When you go to buy the stainless wire tell them what type of stainless material you are welding and 90% helium, 7.5% argon, and 2.5% carbon dioxide is the correct mixture to weld stainless ken

    408 vs 427 strokers

    Never argued this point with you Haha, You can put it how ever you want but when you start breaking it down the way you are anything is possible, can a aftermarket block blow up because you over bored it .060 sure! can a stock block 351w bored .060 live for 100,00 miles? yes it can...

    408 vs 427 strokers

    Using a stock block I would go the 408 route, with good internals 6500rpms wont be a problem. but make sure you use very good main studs and good bearings! These are a must as your rpm's increase, also alot of engine builders recomend a main stud girdle in which they claim reduces cap walk. I...

    408 vs 427 strokers

    I was in no way saying that the 427 won't hold up: it will. But It has a much higher likelihood for failure than a 408. I've heard of several 427's blowing under heavy load at the track. But that likelihood goes down a lot with a Dart block or any block for that matter with a siamese bore...

    408 vs 427 strokers

    Let say we are using a good after market block with a 4.00 inch bore and lets say we over bore this .030. How much strength did we lose? Percentage wise 1% 2% 10%, hardly a reliability issue. Do you lose reliability at max overbore? absolutley, I could not agree with you more. If you use a...

    408 vs 427 strokers

    With what he is trying to accomplish 500-600 hp, an aftermarket block wont have any reliability issues. Any block bored passed the manufacturers recomendations would def have reliability issues, be it Ford racing, Dart, World products. As long as you stay true to there rec your not going to...
