I just now saw this!

I searched for the email just now too, hope it didn’t go to spam!

Glad to see the legacy renewed.

If you have a stack of SBC heads, the tools to mess with it, and a ton of free time then I'd see how far you could go on the HRE moved intake port idea Not really a valve angle modification but the amount of fabrication and machining is probably close. http://www.speednik.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1...

What SB heads, iron or Aluminum? If iron first you need to learn how to port them up to well over 260 cfm@28 inches before there's any need for changing the valve angle by means of guides,or angle milling! Your putting the Cart before the Horse here unless your milling for max compression . Iron, I...

Anyone have any good resources on changing valve angles in stock SBC heads? Other than angle milling. I'm short on cash but have a welder, drill press, die grinder and a few sets of junk heads to play with. I know in an ultimate build I'd be better off buying tried and true heads from one of the hea...

It's part of the Acme 'Mow-er Power' Briggs & Stratton* kit for stubborn weeds... (*Commonly shortened to B.S.) :lol: Actually, an F1 engine, but I don't know whose. Long rod, short stroke, minimal articulation, but those f1 motors still blow my mind that they don't sound like a leaf blower aft...

The limiting factor for, "deck height", (i.e., pin distance to the top of the piston flat), is if the pin can't go any higher using a given rod, even though an oil ring support is used. Remember, the piston can only go a, "skosh" out of the top of the block and it is probably be...

At what point should deck height be considered a limiting factor?
