Spot on. Any plans to write another BB mopar book?
My big block book needs an update but the publisher wasn't super interested last time I talked to them. The book came out before Trick Flow introduced their heads so that is the biggest thing that needs to be updated. I've also done a lot of testing with ported intake manifolds since the book was written and I think that topic should be covered. I'd also add a chapter on EFI and I'd probably add a bunch of content around picking a cam as well as some valve train stuff.Spot on. Any plans to write another BB mopar book?
been wondering where he`s been ...
Maybe they'll see the light. I for sure would buy the updated one. Add that to the other two I have that you did.
Ever think of Self Publishihg? Amazon Kindle is a good place for that
You’ll be dipping your toe into some murky water there.
I have your books, but it seems everyone is going social media these days?
They worked great for me. I have some tech articles on my website that covers the results. Here is one of them: https://www.motortrend.com/articles/dyno-tested-dual-conical-valve-springs/
Would you know a cam that would suit my goal?
I build a few engines for people and have built probably 15 mopar strokers in the last 10 years, 440 source and Ohio crankshaft are the vendors I use. I lean toward Ohio crankshaft on higher performance drag car engines, but have raced the 440 source kits as well, no problems, customer service is good with both companies. And I like the fact that 440 source keeps parts on the shelf if you need something. I am sure Hughes sells decent stuff as well, I don't use them because of an issue with a camshaft I purchased several years ago. Basically I called them after I received it and told them the spring pressures they were recommending were not going to work, they told me I didn't know what I was talking about to run it as they recommended. I did and it went flat, it was not an argument I wanted to win. I was a teacher at a technical college at the time, first thing was the song and dance about proper break-in I told them I had 20 witnesses as I fired the engine in shop class as a demo. Next I paid to have the cam and lifters shipped back to them, they admitted the lobes still good had the indications of proper break-in, but they stiffed me only willing to sell me another one at the same price I paid for the first one, gee thanks.
Porter Racing Heads (PRH on here) is the guy to talk to about cams. I assume you're going with a hyd roller? I don't know what PRH will recommend but I assume something in the 230 range with a wider lobe angle. Maybe 230/236 on 112 or something like that.
Ok cool I will find him and pick his brain.
