A stock Windsor with very mild porting on factory heads, a dual plane aluminum intake and a 4bbl carb will make that goal. If it were mine, I would build a dish piston 393 stroker with a small set of aftermarket aluminum heads. That should net over 400hp easily and make good torque to move that big ...

Why the dual plane? Class rules?

Maybe try another brand of oil and see if the problem continues. Easy way to rule out the oil.

20240319_183836.jpg20240319_183522.jpgSo f bird since the whole world is seeking your race skills and all out knowledge of everything what did you build tday? This is what I worked on . Anti reversion plates on 1700 plus hp na engine Thank you for sharing Dave B....the rest of the Internet is still...

C&S pumps are great pumps also...thier customer service I cannot say is great. They still have one of my pumps I sent back for rebuild. I sent a spec sheet along in the box stating what I wanted done. I contacted them 4 times about it, the first 2 they claimed I was waiting for my turn to be wor...

I seriously doubt you will get away with a standard base circle even with stroker clearance rods. I guy I know built a 434 with scat h beams and a small base circle cam and they hit. He ended up buying the Callies ultra XD rods with the canted bolts for cam clearance. After using those rods he has a...

I got my last pump from them in 2022.

I would clean the paint out of the bore the plug goes into.

How about an alkyd enamel? I know some old machine tools used that for finish. Seems to hold up to oil and dirt reasonable for the abuse they get put through.

I bought two, one for me and one for my friends 427 Chevy, his started leaking and when we called them they told me to buy a new one from them as they changed something. Not happy about not being able to rebuild it. That was my whole reason for buying from them, I will not buy from them again sorry...

Yes, 100% sure it will. I have been a 6.32 at 107 with one, I used mine with a Barry Grant bypass and it worked well. They are a wear item, I could get 3 or 4 years out of one, depending how nice you were to it. I always stored my car with gasoline in the fuel system to help it keep everything clean...

That is exactly why I'm asking...so in your opinion should I buy the rods and pistons and then weigh everything first then buy the crank?

Looking for information on how well this assembly I plan to put together will balance up. I know it needs to be balanced by a shop on a machine, the answer I seek is will this work without adding heavy metal or drilling the counterweight to swiss cheese? Crank says 5.7min rods. I assume longer is ok...

AED got back with me, his recommendation is a 950ho which he says flows 820cfm.i believe he said it was a 750 body in a 850 throttle body. That's a $750 carb. I can get a Brawler 750dp for a little over $400 . My question is, will that almost twice as expensive carb make 30 more horsepower over the...
