I'm with the add tail pipes and h pipe crowd.

Page 2 about 1/3 of the way down, there is a picture of an exhaust port with expoy in it. I have a set of heads somebody hacked the exhaust port at the header flange. What epxoy are you using ?

I work by Mingo and Pine get off at 4:00. I got it in the truck it ,looked oK not corroded.

Where are you located I'm in Oklahoma. I threw a 4 barrel 351w intake in my junk pile last week. I'll look at it tonight

Brezezinski is known for cheater iron oval track heads. Oval track cars see Temps that street won't be expected to see. For the guides to fall out I would expect the car to be raced at over 250 . We never had our dart heads run any hotter than any other head.

Checked out at .0028 on mains, .003 on center thrust, .002 to
0018 on rods

Not familiar with 87 heads but the chamber design would be the deal breaker for me. If it has the small compact chamber like a double hump, vortex, I would use them, if an open chamber nope. I would try to modify a vortec to except that intake. I'm working on a similar style project where I'm trying...

Used similar on my dirt late model. Used The Right Stuff silicone as a gasket. Attached the pan with allen bolts because it was easier to get a long allen wrench threw the access hole than a socket.

Wow 10,000 you would think that would twist the rear end out of the truck.

I'm going to rollers on all my street motors. What I'm trying to get an ideal on is, if I'm building a stock convertor, daily driver 268/ 216@ .050 is the biggest cam I'm using. If it has some gear an convertor and is a weekend car 282/224 is the range I will be in. 288/230 on a 107 is the biggest w...

I had solid ft that was
500lift 230@.050 on a 107 cl installed 104. Really liked it. Building a similar motor but going a way from a flat tappet to a solid roller. What would the specs be on a roller to give a similar power band.

All we could get on a flat top, .140 angle mill vortex,. 000 deck. Mahle piston.

Years ago we raced in a class with that cam and vortex heads. Made over 500hp on a 350. Had a custom cam ground just for our motor. It might have made 5hp more . Going to shaft rockers netted more hp

I'm sure somebody with more knowledge that me with will answer but I've thought about coming off the battery Wire on the alternator to a relay. Switch the relay with the key switch. Then you have a short wire from the highest voltage source powering the ignition.

That is what I have seen also, first oil fill is 20quarts. Oil changes were 16
