Re: break in opinions and procedures
The one I would choose off the shelf for that would be Mobil 1 FS Euro 0W-40 if your bearing clearances are good for it. I know your getting beat up with questions, but would you know how similar or not the Mobil 1 FS Euro 0w40 is to the Mobil One Super Car 0w40? I acquired a decent amount of the S...

Re: carb to big ?
What happens when a carb is just to big for the engine ? Does it run real rich ? Even if the carb is factory calibrated to supply the amount of fuel needed for the amount of air its supposed to deliver ? thanks Brian A good carb runs just fine. One that sucks will be lean Yeah I got one of those cu...

Re: Porting sbc heads?
I'm surprised there's no love for the 2.02 valve, since this engine will be 4412 restricted it will have high manifold vac at high valve lift, assuming a 2.02 flows more at low lift than a 1.94 (it bloody better) that's one way of getting some fill from a week port flow situation, I'd have thought....

Re: Engine block painting
I wire wheel blocks down to bare metal till it starts to shine. I have done that a few times. "I'm not looking for a pretty finish too, instead something that looks about the same as the original paint." Depending on how far you wanna go, you could put a flattening agent in your catalyzed...

Re: Engine block painting
Any single stage catalyzed auto paint. I agree. Just comes down to how nice you want it, and how much effort you wanna put into it. Bare block, good self etch primer and a good catalyzed single stage or base/clear. Nothing looks better or holds up better. All the cans are shit in terms of shine(ove...

Not to say there isn't some still using them ...

Re: MCSA questions
Yet every cylinder head and intake ever produce has been improved upon by some guy with a die grinder and a flow bench... Yeah, and a lot of them aren't as good as they were before a "pro" went at them with a grinder and a flow bench. I've run across quite a few heads over the years and s...

Re: Intake Manifold testing
I just watched Eric video on the the AFR intakes as cast,cloverleaf only removed,and ported . As expected the ported intake fattened the curve a few. With a ported set of heads to suit the cubes,rpm etc I think that ported AFR intake would work well. Unless I missed something. The engine was around...

Re: Race Gas/Pump Gas mixtures
If you can make Av gas work for an application. It is an absolute bargain cost/dollar/quality in my opinion. But has always been a topic people like to argue about.
