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 like those.

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

What an awesome build.

What do you have for a rear end setup. I still have my tapered axle 8 3/4 back there.

Thank guys.

I’m tired of fighting Californias government. I’m packing the family and moving to where my daddys family lives. Just east of Asheville. Got both houses up for sale. I’m taking my 63 dodge with me and it looks like there are way more tracks there than here. Who has a favorite track there? My...

I went with an Isky 292 cam and lifters. Mild build. Flat tops, cnc stealths with upgraded springs and locks, rpm and a 750 Holley. Idles ok sounds sweet. Cam broke in well. 3k on it now.

Another random bit is if you are using a Hydraulic cam. Try to find a solid lifter to use for checking. I always had 2 solids I kept for checking due to the soft springs some lifters have. It can throw off your low lift numbers if you're not using the soft checking springs. Solids on a hyd cam...

A lot of cams have some advance built into them. A 104LS on a 102 ICL is gonna build some brutal mid range. My 400 Chevy ran a 105 on a 99ICL. It was amazing. Can’t wait to see the outcome.

You most likely already know this. But when you clay the valve notches make sure to measure the radial clearance too. I’ve seen plenty of pistons with enough depth but the valves edge only had less than 030. What with piston rock on tdc and valve guide clearance that’s not enough. Usually only...

I’ve seen circle burner motors with piston guided rods that ran more side clearance than that. Just think of it as piston squirters. side clearance helps hold the oil wedge on the rod bearings. If your bearings look a bit overloaded then you can just up the volume on the pump.

Yeah I think I’m spac‘ed out at about 10.2 to 1. It revs like a small block. No flat spots. I’m picking up a tach and will then know what I have for gears. I love this forum. Hardly any egos. Everyone shares knowledge.

Well the motor is done. Health problems and kids needing help scaled it back. Finished product ended up as a nice driver. 30 over 440, 2355 flat tops .017 below deck. Balanced with cast crank, stock rods with aftermarket bolts. Isky 292 mega cam and lifters, 242@050, .500 lift 108LC on a 104...

Magnificent

Whats been done to the front suspension?

Just a thought. If you have a torch and a rosebud tip. The block and crank expand at different rates. You could try a before and after by heating each up to your oil temp you run. Say 200f. Check housing bore and main size. It may expand enough to make a difference. i use to hone the saddles...

I grew up in a little town in LA called South Gate. Mom owned a burger stand on the main drag. Dad was a Sgt on the PD. It was the 60s. I flipped burgers from 60 to 65. Our place was a stop on cruise night. It really was like happy days. I remember Dave Carra 32 Ford Pickup with a blown Kieth...
