Speaking of craftsman tools I needed a T45 torx but went to ace less than mile from my house wanted 8$ for one nope drove another 3 miles to home depot 1.98. My point being if Lowe's charges prices like that for craftsman tools their backing up. I buy a ton of stuff at Harbor Freight some good some ...

Yea I've seen on the old chevys with no bolt people try to weld them to the end of the crank usually w\o success for too long.If they do hold you will say several choice words trying to get them off.

Didn't think about that might be what I do and would still have a single roller to fit my 1996 truck thanks.

That's it a friend of mine saw a hp increase on dyno over a double roller double rollers tend to stretch in my exp for years on my low buck oval track motors i just used regular style chain they don't seem to stretch as much i have a nearly new link style in it now ready to button up those single ro...

Does anyone know the part no for single roller timing set to fit older sbc. I've got one on race car now but forgot what it's off off. I bought a cloyes 9- 1157 but it fits roller cam not old style engines imagine my surprise when I tried to bolt it on. It's dum ass here's fault as I didn't pay atte...

I am no cam expert but I do pretty good picking cams for my engines but that whole grind looks strange for a circle track engine.

I don't mind a custom grind either just trying to get some ideas. Thanks

Building new motor for dirt car 350 60 over 906 vortec heads 4 vr hyper pistons stock crank and rods Victor Jr copy intake 600 single line Holley on e85 also 750 dual line 750 depending on track stock rockers 2700# car 3/8 and 1/2 mile banked track probably min 3500 rpm in corners 6500 to 6800 rpm a...

We turn our 600 singleline Holley's around backwards on our circle track cars.The reason for this because they are a side hung float bowl the cars enter the corners so hard the needle and seat can not control the fuel and fuel comes out the vents causing a stumble off the corner .Turn it around and ...

On my sons circle track car we went to a 2 blade fan after we went to e85 I know it picked up some power how much I do not know .It races at 200 degrees on the hot nites. I think it pulls as much air or more than the 4 blade fan we were using.

Sorry for the confusion they claim their engine man because of the rotating parts they have to use and also the 450 lift camshaft engine will flatten out above that rpm. The one I drove that has since been improved quit pulling at 5400 rpm it was done I got it to spin to 6000 which was the most it h...

Just a general question if I took my around 9 to 1 4 v/r flat top engine with the pistons 025 in hole with 70cc heads and put a set of 64cc heads on how much compression would I gain roughly. Here is my reason for the question the Chrysler guys sold our tech guy a sad story about how they come with ...

Thanks guys anybody got an opinion on the balanced eagle rotating assemblies you can buy for around 600 bucks.They rules state you have to run hypers w/4 vr I know I can get probe 4 vr forged pistons that are lighter than the hypers and I think unless they pulled one out at tech which I have never s...

Is there actually any difference in the weight of a 305 crank vs 350 crank.We run what would be oval track claimer type engines 350 4 vr Hypers 425 lift rule cam 487 heads cut to 70 cc Victor Jr 600 Holley vac secondary stock rods crank HEI dist.Motor is not balanced but we spin this thing to 6600 o...

Is this motor in a street car or racing in a series if so any changes would be make it illegal in most series just wondering?
