    351W VALVE QUESTION

    Thats why some valves are machined towards the bottom of the stem (at the valve) for increased flow. 1.94 in 1.6 ex are the biggest you can run on windsors.

    Piston / Rod combo?

    So heres the piston and my rod. For clarification I guess. Could reliefs be cut into the piston for clearance? I would be running 1.94 intake and 1.6 ex on windsors. Not sure on cam, .5-.65 lift. As you can see the pistons have been run, and to my knowledge it was with these rods in a ford block...

    Piston / Rod combo?

    Right, so I guess I need to measure pin height. Is that just center of the pin to the top ridge of the piston, minus the pop up?

    Locker Handling issuse?

    Nope, and thats with a spool. Low speed corners with a detroit may require you to do a little heel toeing to keep the locker engaged. You dont want it to lock / unlock because it could send ya sideways. Just have to experiment a bit.

    Piston / Rod combo?

    The pistons have grooves like for c- clips. I miced the rod and it was .925ish so I assume that its the larger wrist pin, why dont they fit? Do I need to heat the rods some? Or are they press fit pins? Anyway to tell if the pistons are forged?

    Piston / Rod combo?

    I am planning on using Boss 302 rods w/ the football style rod bolts. I have a set of Keithblack pistons with a pretty large pop up. First off the number on these rods are C3AE D. They accept a .927 wristpin which is the full floating pin. How tight are these supposed to be? Will I need to...

    Locker Handling issuse?

    No road race only. My trucks are lincoln locked as well, nothing like those iroks chirppin around hehe. When driving you really dont even feel the spool unless you slow way down for a tight corner. High speed stuff, its not even there.

    Locker Handling issuse?

    Dont say anything until you have driven it. Its not bad at all, I prefer spools in most everything, then again my tires may not but its all good. New tires arent a bad thing :)

    Roll cage time

    Well I figured I would probly just open trrack my car. I think .188 is fairly overkill, but then again I was just doing my main hoop and a pillar in that. I cannot go crmo because I have no experience with the tig. I might as well check into nasa spec and set it up for that. I know I am going to...
