A friend of mine bought a '67 Chevelle that a guy had in SC. It was a bracket car with Deadenbear delay and 2 step with line locks. The car worked pretty good. Real consistant, but not real fast. It was set up to run a .500 tree with 2 step and line locks. Thought most folks with a delay box ran pro...

I figure I can get the Profilers for $800, springs and retainers to .750" lift for $200, and valves for $130. The seats are already ground on the heads, so that will put me at $1,130. And I can assemble, install seals, check valve guides, and set springs up myself for a pretty good price, free!...

They have been buoght out. Supposedly they will restructure and keep going. Doesn't sound that way, if they closed the plant down.

Don't imagine anybody has a set of shaft rockers with the offset they're needing to sell cheap, huh??

Can anyone tell me if the Track1X heads with 60/40 valve spacing could cause problems with valve relief on my Ross pistons? I just have regular 23 deg pistons. I have no experience with the offset valve spacing such as these Track1X heads. :scratch: Also, is it absolutely necessary to run shaft rock...

John, I'm leaning real hard toward having them send me a set of the bare 210cc heads. I like what I see. Although, I'm a little skeptical of the flow numbers I've seen. Wondering if it's apples to apples. Thanks for the help John. I called them and they said the CNC heads would be ready in 5 or 6 we...

Will do John. I sure would like to find someone who had a set of these 210 heads. I hate to be a Guinea pig. But dang, that ain't a bad deal. $400 each for bare castings.

Anybody know anything about these 210cc Profiler heads? Their flow numbers look pretty good, but I wonder what an independent flow test would show? Looks like a good deal. I've heard these are american made, unlike the patriots.

Looks like I missed my chance on the Vic Jr heads. Someone else has bought them. Now gotta find another set of heads somewhere. Any ideas?

Yeah, but who has bees wax in their shop? Especially without the Bees!

Has anyone used a hurricane intake? Or a accurate comparison between it an a super victor, both being port matched? My goal of course is to go faster. Got some tax refund burning a hole in my pocket. :twisted: Ive been running a holley strip dominator with a quick fuel 950. Dont see many at the tra...

You can't ask nor make the blanket statement ..."what is the best manifold for a sbc" without knowing the specifics of YOUR sbc along with RPM and intended use. 72 nova ,406 cid, 3120 pounds with me, 4.86 gear with powerglide. My car runs a 6.70 na with this converter with a 1.46 sixty. O...

I like Super Vic for 1st place. Brodix HVH and Dart are a close 2nd in my opinion.

I no longer use the EO/IC method. I used to, until I went back and did each cylinder on tdc method and found them all loose. It probably works with smaller cams with less duration and overlap, but on a solid roller, you might be leaving something on the table. Well for sure it can't go wrong that w...

I guess I'll do it the way you guys describe. Maybe there is a chance the lifter may not be on the base circle with certain cams. I never thought about it. Just always done it that way.
