    Low compression 505

    400 is .75 down in the hole 440 is .123 down in the hole Both are really awful. Possibly the extra .50 affected flame propagation/squelch or some other damn thing? I do not have a clue and I was surprised and did not expect those results or I would not have spent the large pile of money and the...

    Low compression 505

    In our 73 Roadrunner Stocker the 400 runs 1.20 under the index. The 340 Low Comp. runs a bit faster than that in same car (People will find out at Indy this year Hopefully). With a optimized gearing and convertor combination the 440 (Pistons .125 down) well tuned was .3 to .5 under the index...

    Low compression 505

    Everything sound good except I do not understand the 8 to 1 part? Pistons down 150/175 in the Hole. We tried to run a 73 440 spec. {.122 down) in our stock eliminator as it was factored at only 325 HP. However, with the low compression it would not fall out of a tree.

    NHRA rules for SFI Bellhousing

    I am thinking it is not mandatory at that ET. It however is a very good idea especially with Slicks or drag Radials. In 1969 we blew the flywheel out of a Hemi Roadrunner running High 11's. It took out the Drivers floorboard and the petals clean out of the car. We had a blanket over the...

    426 wedge

    The rear fenderwells in trunk were cut and spread slightly on the inside by the rear fender where it does not show from anywhere. You have to put you finger down between the fendwells and inside of the fenders. I doubt that it was every changed unless you had a tech that was tipped off about it.
