    Dyno 351C 2v vs 4v Heads

    thanks for that link! bookmarked. that's a lot of history in one gulp. not sure how much of it is true and it seems Pence is an evangelist for the 4V, but a lot of it does make sense... optimized for .600" lift, 7000 RPM, Nascar racing, iron crank vs steel, bottom end built to handle 7000+ rpm...

    Header Suggestion

    @Butch65 - never too late.. Jet Hot or your local powder coater... or d-i-y ceramic paint from the parts store... @SDStang - don't get mad at me if you don't like em. :)

    Header Suggestion

    [i've heard mixed things about them. YELP and a few other places. What's your experience? How long have you had them. Quality, customer service?] Sanderson have 2 people in the office. and it's old school. they were at Good Guys West Coast Nationals last weekend and have large display. so...

    Dyno 351C 2v vs 4v Heads

    Butch, welcome. i think MPG will say that they yield the most benefit and i'm sure they will be happy to sell you a set. :D honestly, i felt a little more grunt down low when i had them in. but that is subjective. no hard #s. but a couple weeks ago, i dyno'd at 286 rwTQ (est 425-450 TQ-gross)...

    Dyno 351C 2v vs 4v Heads

    i decided to sell my MPG port plates... $45 (50% off reg price) + shipping. if anyone wants them, PM me. i can't seem to seal them correctly with my Sanderson headers, due to their raised flange design, but if you have stock exhaust manifolds or Hooker headers, they should work just fine...

    Power Steering Quick Ratio - Hemmings article

    Thanks Ray... I actually installed the Q/R 2.7 turns L2L constant ratio earlier this year (February)... like the Corvette and Trans Am WS6 ps box... it's responsive on the twisties... but you can't dose off on the straights or else you might find yourself in the next lane over... i'm still...

    NASA Hood options- repair or aftermarket?

    i went with dynacorn when we stripped the car to bare metal... the original hood was too far gone... the BOW in the middle was extremely pronounced. i had a very good body man... he placed 4x4's, then 2x4's under the hood and pressed down hard (jumped on it is more like it) at the front of the...

    Dyno Day! HP, bHP, rwHP? SAE Gross vs Net?

    wow. 11s!! i would love to hit 11s or even 12s. but i'm just hoping for low 13s in a couple weeks after some more tuning. fty spec was 15s back in 1972. but how much more do i need before i have to think about brakes, suspension, tires, transmission, u-joints, axle, etc? lol what is "grout...

    great build and dyno numbers Chuck! amazing what 40-50 extra Cubic Inches can do for a Cleveland! how's your vacuum (brakes) on the tighter 106 LSA?

    Dyno 351C 2v vs 4v Heads

    i remember watching this test (saved on my DVR) and referenced to it as i selected my top end rebuild components last year. used these 2 episodes more as a reference in what NOT to do for my 4V build. 1. Single planes live at 6000-7000-8000 RPM on a small block (302 - 351)... but will do well...

    Dyno Day! HP, bHP, rwHP? SAE Gross vs Net?

    The Dynomax VTs are mild... relatively quiet, but there is this reversion sound that is pretty fat and low subwoofer-like FEEL-able, at certain frequencies as the valve fights between open and closed. She used to have rusty long tube Hooker headers and 2-chamber Delta 44s. EXTREMELY LOUD...
