    Solid Roller Lifters on a Hydraulic Roller Cam?

    We have quite a few miles on our hybrids (HR cam+solid lifter) street driving. Started running them a couple years before engine masters did it. Comparing to a hydraulic lifter the power never goes away. It keeps pulling hard, that is probably the "best part". Also..if you choose the right cam...

    header question

    We run those headers in a 69 b body with a 440. I really liked the fit with straight plugs. When we changed to edebrock heads with angled plugs we had to make clearance on 3 tubes. We also have dougs 2". They are a step up over the hookers, they cost more as well. I would buy the 5903's again...

    440 headgasket to lower compression

    The fact that the car doesn't detonate when it's cold also points to problems that are common with cams of this size on pump gas. The 292H has a bunch of overlap. A 292H may be big enough to lower the dynamic compression on paper, but overlap means hot exhaust is getting mixed into the incoming...

    440 headgasket to lower compression

    With the heads off my reference of down was measuring from the deck to the top of the piston. You need that to know where your at or its just a guess. This compression calculator is simple enough to use. Compression Calculator

    440 headgasket to lower compression

    79cc for a 906 comes from the blueprint rating for NHRA stock and superstock. Not sure why companies use that number, its not representative of most. Surfaced once to clean up...maybe 86cc for a 906. The stealths being 80cc will likely raise your compression then to 10.1:1 w a .039 gasket. One...

    440 headgasket to lower compression

    What spark plugs? To hot of a plug could also cause detonation.

    440 headgasket to lower compression

    Perhaps .060 over it has a hot spot from a thin spot on a cylinder wall. What temp doees the engine run? You could try running evans coolant rather then antifreeze. It is better for transferring heat away from surfaces which can help prevent detonation. Other then that I would look at a issue...

    What is your fastest time to drive a car in, pull the engine, swap in another and drive it out?

    My brother and I were coming back from college on a friday night when the water pump went out of the slant 6 in the 80 volare we were driving. Had a tough week of school and wanted to get home. Didn't make it, got a 1/2 mile from home. The next day we pulled a slant 6 out of a 75 duster we had...

    Car weight

    You don't need an exact weight. Just make a estimated guess and get it ordered. The 9.5 we have from Dynamic moves the car at 2000rpm and when you flash the stall it's 4300. Driven it several thousand miles. That is with 4.10, 30" tire , 575hp and the weight is close to 4000 lbs w a driver...
