Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

Very nice work!!

With that cam and it’s .600” lift and those out of the box 200 Cc heads I can’t for the life of me see why you can’t make 500 Hp. 3 months ago I did a old set of Trick flows getting them to 260@ .500” for use on a 364 purly street SBC going in a fully loaded 65 B body.

While we have your attention Mike, which gear is to be used with your EHR hydraulic roller cams? (Specifically the cam that's been spec'd for my 357: HR72360-73360-108). FTR, what are those cores made of? With today's supply chain issues, we could be using either 8620, 1050, or 8660(w/everwear gear...

What if he didn't drink Buterface weiser ? Shit happens!

I had an sbc engine on a stand and after forgetting to install the plug above the filter and tried priming with a drill. Thought I had wet myself. :oops: :oops: More news later..... Did the same with a TH400 I had to recreate from a clutch to the Auto in my car. Would not shift correct and pulled i...
