Cool stuff...........i like it!!

Good job SchmidtMotorWorks.

Nice build and congrats!!

Would make a nice engine in our XR GT FALCONS down under!

Interesting on the hydraulic roller cam with solid lifters...........how reliable would it be in a street car?

Would you add more exhaust duration if you made a cam change?......if so how much more?

Hey Bob, no i havnt, do you have a link. Was it a typical stroker 351 or a 400 block? Im guessing stroker? [/quote][/quote] Using a factory 2 bolt pillow clevo block with factory cast iron heads,flat tappet cam just made an impressive 603 ft lbs and 759 hp on pump gas https://www.facebook.com/jason...

Thanks, Walter. Good thing I wasn't handicapping this like a horse race; I'd lost big bucks. Who'da thunk a Ford FE would win it and Kaase's BBC would be behind the FE and a SBF? And there's a BBF 385 scoring lower than a Y-block and two FEs. And what's with not a single BBM or SBM competing? No Ol...

What was the issue with Kaase's engine? There were no issues that anyone could see ... simply not a high enough score. It said on the hotrod site he was down 60-70hp down from pre contest testing.........just curious if something went a miss. I like those Jesel rockers he had on the BBC.......also ...

What if you saw the worst valve train deflection ever and a loss of net valve lift how would you treat the situation?

Call Tom at 3V PERFORMANCE!

What was the issue with Kaase's engine?

You need to check, to see what size roller follower, those profiles were designed for. If they're designed for a .750" diameter, and you put a .820" roller on it, the acceleration rate(off the seat, and back on the seat) will be increased. This could cause increased pushrod flex and/or premature se...

What cid is it? and what rpm you turning ?

Me? Last engine with those rods was a 604" 12* BBC. Turned about 8200 on the top end

No the OP my bad, but how many runs did you put on your rods?

Crane 96870 springs, set up at 165lb on the seat.

Cheers Tony

One would think that a .903 lifter would be the ticket here with a little more cam and be at 620+hp......and be a reliable street car!!

Do they make a .903 lifter for holdens?

What valve spring and spring pressure did you end up with?

Cheers, Bob
