    2 cylinders destroyed

    I’m definitely in the ring gap camp. I’ve never had a supercharged B/RB, but it was common on late model fords I was running and hanging with. The extra heat butts the top ring and it destroys the ring land and piston top. Same with nitrous. Theres a Total Seal chart in the article on this...

    These engine blocks are interesting

    Damn that thing is bullet proof.

    Opinions on 11:1 compression on 93 octane

    You can probably get away with it. If you have some ping, kill it with some octane boost.

    Purple shaft lifter issues?

    I bought a NOS MOPAR set of late 70s hydraulic lifters 6 months ago on eBay, paid $10 a lifter, but I know they’re good. You might find what you’re looking for there. Also might take a while.

    'nuther 470 build

    While waiting on the pushrod solution (thank you supply chain woes), I mocked up the headers and intake. Headers were fine both sides, no interference on the heads, block, etc. Though I haven't made a final intake selection, the M-1 sits nice on top. Made me wonder if I'll have interference...

    'nuther 470 build

    Worked on the oil system while awaiting pushrods. Oil pump is a melling HV unit that says "USA" on it. Sat on the shelf for quite some time so cleaned it up and put some lube on the rotors, torqued it to spec. Also dicked around with the oil pick-up and re-pop Maxie pan. Had to tweek the oil...

    All good info to know! Maybe I’ll get away with it ;)

    'nuther 470 build

    It should all work. I’m not winding the motor to the moon. There was enough room to coil bind at max lift visually, I didn’t even bother sticking feeler gauges in to measure it. The wider lobe sep was targeted at the 727TF crowd as it has less overlap, and should idle better. I went with...

    I might get lucky, but mentally I’m ok mixing fuel. I’ve thought about e85 too.

    Nope. Just took them apart, cleaned and checked. Straight out of the box. It’s just a street car...if I really wanted to go fast, I’d been better off with a 2dr post! I just wanna scare the Hondas. :rolleyes:

    I think it’s on the edge CR wise, but with quench it may get away with it. I have a small block car with 11.2 and I mix octane boost for 20 years now, no problem. But each engine is different.

    'nuther 470 build

    Nothing comes out of the blister pack or box without a need of cleaning as a minimum, or tweaking in some manner. So when I dropped the heads on and mocked up the valve train, it was obvious the lifter/push rod/rocker set up wasn't going to be served by the 440 source 3/8" pushrods off the...

    'nuther 470 build

    Thought I'd share a little progress from my 470 build. It's going in my 65 Coronet wagon. I've been saving parts for the better part of a decade, and started moving getting the machine work done and getting it together a little over a year ago. Block started as a virgin, never rebuilt, mid...

    AIR FLOW PISTON

    I’m with you. I like traditional cast, or forged. Hyperpathetics always seem to get in trouble.

    Anybody stack head gaskets for quench

    In a word, “no.” Would not stack head gaskets. The 440 source is a good option.

    X2 HemiBee you need to go out and buy a lotto ticket. Like right now, while the gods are still smiling upon you. ;)
