Out track sucks for high powered cars. Have you had a chance to try out your new engine at the track? What were your times? If you haven't had the opportunity to do some track runs, DO NOT...

Re: Head Recommendations Needed (SCVetteGuy)

I wouldn't spend a dime on the 1980 stock heads. Thin casting prone to cracking and leaves you very little material to port. Try to get factory high performance heads (pre-smog) with 64cc chambers....

Re: What do you do with your broke parts? (Maurice)

Maurice
Buy the wife a welder and let her make "art work" out of it. Hey, some of the small parts might make good Christmas tree ornaments or kitchen/refrigerator magnets. LOL

Re: Tell me whats wrong with this most simple valve adjustment method. (Marc80)

Marc
Your method will still take 2 complete crankshaft revolutions to complete 1 revolution at the distributor. The only difference between your method & the 0-90-180-270 method is that you want to...

Re: i got the cam in but.... (ykp53)

oh big block..... more cubes can tolerate bigger cams, however I still suspect too low static compression. Throw a vacuum gauge on there and see what kind of numbers you get. Also take note of the...

Re: i got the cam in but.... (ykp53)

I agree with the guys above that you are having a low vacuum condition. Other reasons for low vacuum are too much cam timing overlap or not enough static compression for the cam. That cam's lobe...

Re: Why the ruckus over LT1's, LS1's, ect (Bob Deeken)

I've read similar things about not being able to overbore the LS motors. I think that is old news.

Racing technology/experience has shown that these motors can be resleeved successfully. They...

Maurice's 69 427/4spd might be ready for sale soon. It would be way cheaper to buy a big block Vette than to buy all of the little things to fit it into a small block Vette. Talk to Maurice....

Re: Why do many racers disconnect their vacuum advance? (GrandSportC3)

When you are doing test-n-tune runs at the strip, plugging the vacuum line just removes the possibility of variances or freaky occurrences with your distributor/timing. So if you got a suspect...

Re: 1975 350 Modifications (poncho_1119)

Based on weak memory, I think gutting the cat netted me ~25 hp gain. That's based on 1/4 mi mph calculation. It can be very restrictive!

After you get that resolved, a new cam should be first on...
