Re: Another reason not to buy Speedmaster shit
It's one thing to sell a copy of something, but to use another person's name is outright fraud.

Re: l88 drop base
I just sold my "real" L-88 complete air cleaner last year for $3K, guy was thrilled to get it. Some other guy I see at local swap meets wanted it real bad but was only willing to pay $100 for it, LOL.

Re: SuperStock 461X 041X Heads and Dyno tests
Interesting for sure on the head flow of a 461X head, I've owned 2 sets and sold them both for some good $$$ as guy thought they were the hot ticket for their cars. I know a few people back in the day that were running the X heads on their encono-dragsters, they made great power with them, most like...

Put in a cam with a 114° LCA it'll run great. My last one did with 11:1

Re: BBC Heads
Liberty heads look just like all the other china heads. There's a ton of them out there you can use, I would get them bare and add my own parts and get a good valve job done.

Re: Extending intake dividers
I have seen Larry Meaux weld up to an inch onto an intake runner divider. Is there any reason not to use 1/4 aluminum plate and weld that to the dividers instead? Then port and shape it accordingly? Thanks i've done it both those ways above , and a 3rd way just using Epoxy AB Sticks i prefer just T...

Re: When does custom porting become beneficial?
I think porting has more to do with not the size of the port, but more with the quality of the port after porting. A few years ago I took a chance on porting my set of L-29 BBC heads, Why? because no one else has messed with them much and they intrigued me to try to port something different. I alrea...

Re: Inexpensive 350 Build
I know my recently acquired 1000hp has stepped booster from Holley. I have never had any luck with any 4781's I've ever used out of the box and my 4779 was quicker and faster then the last 4781 I tried. Even my 4780 800DP was better then the 4781, and the HP carburetors just seem to work better for ...

Re: Home ported sbc 441 heads

Backed the car out, dismounted the tire, put a patch in it, remount test held pressure overnight. Off to the track I go. Make a good ...

Re: SBC Valves - GMPP Vortec Heads
Those valves are pricey because like other have said, the intakes are hollow stem and the exhaust are sodium filled. When my brother was selling his LT-4 heads those had them valves in them. Some old dude wanted them for his street rod project but was unwilling to pay the high price due to the expen...

Re: Inexpensive 350 Build
Mark, I had trouble with my front disc brakes dragging on my Camaro years ago and rebuilt the calipers twice, no change. It wasn't until I talked with an old tech at work then he told me to get some rebuilt ones. I asked why and he was telling me that newly refurbished ones will retract the piston s...
