Work in progress, mild 440/727.

It’s been a while. They did them on billets. Chevies had some on forgings. Hard sell to most racers. 3.75+ stroke super light SBC’s could be had on special order. Usually sprint cars and virtually all nascar and road race billets.

Use to work for SCAT SALES/ENGINE TECH. Sometimes a crank with center counterweights can stop web cracks. It affects the middle 3 usually. Your firing order 18436572 has 4/3 firing on the same main. If there was even the slightest bit of crossover spark in the cap then 3 would fire way soon...

Just a question. When I would get a 400 sbc with limited air flow and 11 or 12-1 compression I would usually install a pretty good sized cam 260 to 270 @50 with very tight LC. 105 or 106. Then put it in on a 100 or 99 ICL. For a sub 6500 rpm motor with less than 300cfm per runner it really...

I have the 452;s on my 63 Polara 440 with a 750 dp on a RPM, CNC Stealths, Isky 292-242@50 108LSA. Flat tops with .039 gasket. 3000 stall and 2.94 gears. So yes it’s not a beast with these gears. But hit the pedal hard and 1st is a smoke show. Great fit with p/s.

I like those.

I’ve heard that someone is making panels again. I’ve got room to store them now but don’t know who it was stamping them out now. I’m gonna need all 5 panels to make it solid.

Buy a Dragy. Dragy Motorsports couple of hundred bucks and lt will give you all your feed back. That’s a Killer B.

Mines at 10.5 with a 242@050 cam. My CNC stealths don’t flow that well so it runs great on 93. If I had TF 270s then my cylinder fill might have upped the effective CR. Has a malt shop rumble though. Your car is just off the charts awesome.

Got moved to North Carolina finally. Found a guy to work on my car. Installing a later year rear end with flanged axles and we hope the posi is in good shape. New heater/defroster is needed. It was 20 here. Installing rubbers and doing some rust repairs on the A pillar. Supposed to be a 323. Old...

What balancer and timing mark are you using. Could the balancer ring have slipped on the hub?

76 440 out of a motorhome. Cast crank. Speed Pro 2355 030. Clevite rod and mains. Billet t chain set. Stock 452 heads all fresh. Comp 224@050 cam. Rpm with a 600 eddy carb. It was a basic rebuild with good parts. Now it’s cnc stealths, Isky 292 mega cam, full msd system headers and a 750 DP...

The PO didn’t remember what bolts his builder used. All I have is this one picture when my guy checked some bearings and confirmed it was balanced. This is an older build. Maybe 8 to 10 years ago. It spins 5500 easily and is smooth as glass. Thanks guys. Bob.

That’s sweet.

What an awesome build.
