Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

Arguments both ways on roller cam bearings vs. babbit, but I run them in my junk. As to the lifters, bigger lifter means bigger wheel and slower wheel speed. Both pluses. Biggest question I'd have is do you have enough material around the lifter bores to accept the bushings? You said 409, so I'm as...

I wonder why they don't have it on the PAC web site.

They have 2 1500's but they have been discontinued.

I say stick with the PSI springs, as warpspeed said there the best.

I can't even find that part #1575 on the PAC site!!

I think you would be better off with a smaller diameter PSI springs That spring is 1.442" at the top, and 1.657" at the bottom. It's 150 @2.00", 630 @1.200", and a 1.115" Coilbind You'd be better off, going with a spring that gets the overall weight of the spring down. PSI ...

Have a look at EXTREME MUFFLERS.........

Good for 10,000 rpm on ls ......wow............tested by EFI University.

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 ...

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 pr...

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?
