I'm going to make the case for the Edelbrock E Street over the 440Source Stealth head.
The $1200 Stealth heads will end up costing more than the $1440 E Streets when you factor in 440Source will charge for shipping compared to Summit or Jegs offering free shipping. Then add in the cost of the...
I've been reading things like this online for awhile after putting my 440 together with a HV oil pump and feeling like I made a mistake and did something that left all kinds of horsepower on the table.
The I watched the latest episode of Engine Masters where they took a 440 and dyno tested it...
Thanks for the feedback guys. Gregg Luneack at Tri City Competition cleaned up the ports in the heads for me when he checked them out for me.
The 255/60-15 M/T drag radials on it are 27" tall but I'm thinking of trying to squeeze some taller and wider 275/60-15s on someday to get a bigger...
Here's an update after almost 9 years since my last post in the 12 second combo area.
Disclaimer: this thing hasn't been down the 1/4 mile because there are no 1/4 mile tracks where I live but it has done a 7.56 @ 90 in the 1/8 with a 1.65 60 foot in 2500'-3000' DA which should equal a high 11...
I have the same SS springs on my '67 Satellite. I used to use the Monroe-matic truck shocks on my car when I was running bias ply D.O.T. slicks but when I switched to drag radials the car would hook, then start spinning 30 feet out. I switched to the Competition Engineering 3 way adjustable...
That's interesting. I've read a lot of stuff saying that they aren't even sure that high cholesterol contributes to heart problems and your data kind of backs that up in a weird way - you had potential heart problems while having low cholesterol numbers.
Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm glad you had a good outcome! It seems when we get to our 50s that is when the issues start to crop up. I have a couple friends who have had strokes in their 50s.
Like dodgeboy440 said above, I've been getting really into nutrition and supplements that...
My 17 year-old son who rode with me to the track yesterday keeps asking me if I'm ever going to make it fast enough to where I have to trailer it the track. I keep telling him I like doing it this way.
I told my son on the drive home I want to keep working to make the car nicer to drive on...
I went back to the track last Saturday for the San Diego Antique Drags at Barona 1/8 mile. It was my first time back to the track since February 2020. My car sat for most of last year except for a few drives around the block to keep the fluids moving.
I ran a new best ET of 7.56, new best 60...
My first ever run with this car doing an 8.32 in the 1/8 mile (which would be like a high 12 in the 1/4) the 60 foot was 1.81.
This eventually got whittled down to a best 60 foot of 1.66. If it ever 60 foots in the mid 1.75 and up I can feel it spinning off the line. I think 2.0 and up leave...
I just swapped from 452s to Edelbrock 84cc E Streets on a similar build. Go for it, you'll be glad you did! And yes, I noticed the extra HP the first time I pulled into the burnout box and the tires lit up so much quicker. The I got my time slip and saw that it picked up a couple tenths in...
.029" in the hole with 2355 pistons doesn't seem right to me. Is that what you actually measured? I've never seen anyone say those pistons ended up that far down with their 440 build. I measured mine when I swapped from open chamber 452s to close chamber 84cc Edelbrock E Streets and the...
Thanks, I think it still has a little more in it too because it was sputtering at the top of second gear on my one run. Looking back I think it might have been from the alternator being messed up.
It looks like the hard plastic insulator that goes around the alternator battery stud and between the battery wire eyelet connector and the alternator body disintegrated maybe causing the wire to short against the alternator housing. My fusible link is also fried/melted. Does anyone know of a...
Yes!!! This is exactly what happened. Thank you. The hard plastic insulator between the power wire and alternator housing crumbled and now the fusible link is fried. Does anyone know if there is a source for this insulator? Also looking for a good place to get the fusible link. I saw online...
Drove my '67 Satellite 50 miles to the dragstrip today. No issues on the drive there. On my first pass, right after I let off the gas in the shutdown area, I lost all electrical power. I smelled burnt wiring smell and disconnected the battery after I pulled off the track. I checked the...
I haven't been out to Barona 1/8 mile since last spring when I broke a 440Source roller rocker. Used that as an excuse to take off the stock iron 452s and replace with Edelbrcok 84cc E Streets and old school Isky ductile iron rockers.
So the very first pass it did a 7.67 @ 89.845 mph with a...
What shocks and springs? How do you have your torsion bars set? Pinion angle? PSI in slicks? How much does the car weigh? What have you done to get weight off the front of the car? I've done a 1.66 60 foot with probably 75-100 less HP and with little 255 drag radials. If I'm in the high...
