Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

.035 is a touch close. I would get some +.050 retainers or locks. that should get you in the neighborhood of the range you need to be away from coil bind. you could do it and be fine, but i would probably wait for the new engine and just break it all in together. motul, driven and lucas all make goo...

and at that point, I am betting summit will sell that new companies products.

The drone is the flowmasters. thats what chambered mufflers do. get something straight through like an ultraflow, or of you really want quiet get a turbo muffler, but the turbo muffler might kill a little power.

I just checked on Summit, where Jay bought the one he used for the video. Looks like they pulled them. You woulda thought someone at summit wouldve looked at what they were selling, but i guess not.

if it were me, 418" windsor, afr 165s, and a decent dual plane intake would make a ton of tq. the bad thing about a 393 is, by the time you balance that short counterweight 3.85" stroke crank for the short 5.956 windsor rod and heavy stock 302 piston, you have enough in the rotator to buy ...

E85 is a possibility, there’s a pump 3 miles from my house, but something about being tied to a specific location bothers me. So far we have: Keep the quench Blend chambers/ valve job Dialed timing Cold air What about the ivc? Is it of no consequence? I have smaller cams, one I like is 66* (seat iv...

with the hex heads in the top of the ARP studs, ive gotten them in and out in the car and then pulled the heads. not too big of a deal usually.

Some of the Japanese stuff make over 3hp per ci on 93 at close to 13:1 with port injection/carburetion with aluminum turning a ton of rpm. I would try to make it work with iron by running a later IVC and keeping the coolant temp in check. with a stock cam, iron heads, and boost on the stock shortblo...

I just looked up the price of the Profilers, forget that. A set of AFR enforcers will get you where you want to me for 40% less and get you 8mm stem valves and a modern chamber. then you just have to worry about the CSA limitation of the runner.

port shape isnt going to matter much because its not above 6k, and as far as airspeed, you are limited (in terms of mean air speed and flow) by the cross section. i say put a set of as cast profiler 195s on it. its not going to matter. the valvejob and chamber will be far more important if the targe...

I can tell you that the bore is 4.114". crank is supposedly 2.90".

Possible. It won some events in one of Paul Gentilozzi's cars. It has been fun to disassemble. Would love to know what the build sheet / cam specs look like for one of those of that era. Warp, you ever get to play with these cars? I'll see if I can't get around to putting the degree wheel on it and...

those cars were 80" wide with 28" of rubber on the rear....lol. there was some lateral Gs. We are putting together our own fox body tube chassis trans am car to go vintage race. most of those guys with their sn bodied cars are running 400" windsors. we are gonna run the c3 headed 308.

Ny stuf is based on real world. Way before the internet. Had to help way too many friends that got wraped up in internet folk lore.. Real world stuff. I got friends with dynos that also know how to test., that agree. They de-tune their xustomers stuf dor street pump gas and educate them on what wor...
