Re: EMC 289
Spacers were allowed 8" total from lifter valley rails to top of spacers.
As far as cam timing goes the 289 is at the extreme of one end. Small packaging makes for short runners, and large bore allows for alot curtain area. A 1.9" valve in a 289 is equivalent area /in. to a 2.25 in a 427. So your peak flows will be relative per cu/in.. The one thing most people overlook is that the 289 will have about 25% more low lift flow relative to size.
Runner length and curtain area have influenced more of my cam descisions latley than flow numbers.
The cam your buddy chose may very well make a few more ponies at 7200rpm than mine, but I wouldn't expect anything to happen much below about 5000rpm.. If he was running smaller valves and a tunnel ram or something with longer runners he might not be far off.

Re: EMC 289
Very impressive Geoff just the same. Good job you and all involved. The old technology continues to shine.
Re: EMC 289
I'd like too know what those 289 heads flowed when you were done with them,if you would be so kind.
Re: EMC 289
The heads flowed 235 cfm @600 and 190 exhaust@.600. These heads still have good port wall thickness. You could find a little more out of them but run the risk of having something unreliable.
You don't have put a ton of thought into it to realize that with 12.5 or 13.0:1 compression and a taste more camshaft and a single plane that you could start knocking on 500hp if you were willing to spin it 7600-7800rpm!
I know the hitters are already doing this but it just sounds cool to say it.

Re: EMC 289
Very cool build, any ideas on the strange dip between 5000 and 5600?

Re: EMC 289
Those are real world flow numbers with serious work. I just want to see what this mill would do with a tunnel ram and dual fours. Love this build!Mummert wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 12:35 am The heads flowed 235 cfm @600 and 190 exhaust@.600. These heads still have good port wall thickness.

Re: EMC 289
Great job!!
What were your valvespring pressure set at ?
How much total timing and can you show a comb chamber pic if you have one?
Thanks

Re: EMC 289
Then why not build one?

Re: EMC 289
Bill-C,
How does this engine compare to the road race engines you build with these heads?

Re: EMC 289
Elroy, if you had read my 289 head thread you would know that Bill C bailed me out and sent me one of his cnc heads after I made a sprinkler out of one. For doing me this huge favor he wanted a chunk ( In, ex ports) of the sprinkler head to see if he missed anything doing his cnc work. So IF Bill did any adjustment after looking at my work and incorporated it into his cnc program does that mean I had any part in Mummert's win? I think not but it made me feel good thinking of that possibility.

Re: EMC 289
xcelerator vs rpm...what was done to the rpm?
Just noticed the xcelerator is still sold whats your opinion of it for a hot st car in general?
How would it compare to a team G? Like older stuff.

I have glanced through that thread////just was thinking you may want to build an engine to test your flow work.//cool story and most likely a fairly dysfunctional sprinkler////Carnut1 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 11:59 amElroy, if you had read my 289 head thread you would know that Bill C bailed me out and sent me one of his cnc heads after I made a sprinkler out of one.

Re: EMC 289
Those two sets of 289 heads are still at Terry Walters shop awaiting DV to dyno test them. Obviously not at the top of his to do list.Elroy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 12:10 pmI have glanced through that thread////just was thinking you may want to build an engine to test your flow work.//cool story and most likely a fairly dysfunctional sprinkler////Carnut1 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 11:59 amElroy, if you had read my 289 head thread you would know that Bill C bailed me out and sent me one of his cnc heads after I made a sprinkler out of one.

Re: EMC 289
You could/should test them yourself///that way you know////a 289 or 302 shortblock could be done for a reasonable amount I would think/////you could probably tool one up in your sleep///do you have a dyno local
