hey guys, had to share this. always was curious about crank triggers, just installed one on my 377 sbc. been running an msd 85551, locked@38 degrees for years. after installing the crank trigger the timing is rock solid ,idle to 7200. always seemed to bounce a little before. anyone have any experien...

we used the bare heads because i wanted to touch up the ports as mentioned. i also had spare competition products stainless undercut valves to fit as well as 600 lift springs, 10 degree retainers and locks. so if you feel that you can run them as is for $649.00.....thats ok, but check out what quali...

yes they are bare, 2.02/1.60 valves

got them from skip white on e-bay, $ 479.00 for the pair will post performance asap......keep in mind this is a street/strip car, so with some tuning were hoping to hit high 7s 1/8 mile.

hi guys, talking with an older hotrodder about sbc pistons. he claims that reversing sides with flatop pistons will reduce thrust on sidewalls. anyone ever heard of or tried this? if so are the gains noticed on a street rod engine, and is it worth the effort?
thanks, randy

i have heard the main caps walking is common in the 400 blocks, did you have the 511 block align-honed prior to seeing the caps walk.... i have heard of others having this problem after installing studs, and feeling the cap bores were still within specs only to discover that they require align-honin...

hey guys, a question on a 400 sbc (two bolt main) 509 block. we are assembling a 377,and plan on using arp main studs. this is a low mile engine, and if we install the studs should we have the block alignhoned,or just reuse the main bolts. max rpm planned 6800, with 12:1 compression and iron eagle 2...
