Re: got my 1962 home
had a bad vibration , so i tore motor done, taking it to machine shop..i found a broken timing gear but car still ran, i thought the timing was acting funny when i was setting timing..and it has the wrong pistons in it, the pistons that are in it are 240 pistons and are .230 in the hole..for a whooping my binding 7-1 compression..cam starts pulling at 3000 and stops at 6000..so if i put more cam in it and some 351w pistons to get the compression up, it should run pretty dam good for a 6 banger

I did one several years ago with 351 hyper kieth blacks with .100 dome and a ported 240 head. It was hard on the stock rod brgs but it was a power house. turned it 7000-7200 every run.

I'm sure it will run that, I was amazed at the power the engine we did made.

took it to get balanced..crank was 25 grams off...flex-plate was trash..not sure if it was like that before or after..he got crank rods and all withing 1/2 gram..so it should be good to go

Re: got my 1962 home
how did that work ? always wondered how a dome on a 351w will fit the inline head cause of the valve angle compared to the dome angleIDT-572 wrote:I did one several years ago with 351 hyper kieth blacks with .100 dome and a ported 240 head.

I can't remember the exact dome height, but the volume was 5 cc and It had plenty of valve to piston clearance with a .650 lift cam and dur @ .050 around 260 on a 104 sep Trying to remember specs off the top of my head. but there close.

Re: got my 1962 home
dont want to spend that much , not trying to sit the world on fire, looks like dome top 351w pistons will work ..it will be between 11.5--12 compression depe nding on my cc of head mand not sure if deck has been cut..at a bare min 11.5 compared to the 7-1 it is now..heck that probally close to at least 50-75 hp..i hopedfree383 wrote:You can always get some custom slugs made.

Just spotted this.. that's my chassis guy Mike Robinson... one hell of a craftsman. His old race car was a tube chassis Maverick that was absolutely gorgeous. 9.32 @ 149 with a 466 & Doug Nash Wish I was more on my camera game back when he had it..
Re: got my 1962 home
Update--10-26-2012...redone the motor, discovered it had wrong pistons in it, .230 in the hole.. so i put early model rods in it with some trw dome 351w pistons for 11.5-1 compression..new roller rockers..new steel timing set..degreed the cam..proform 650 carb..same deal as last time, i had my hand on shifter and did not go 2 feet and hit 2nd gear..then when about 100 ft and went to 3rd..ran 13.33@94 mph 1/4 mile...and 8.30 1/8 mile.--1.87 60ft...went threw lights at 6200 rpm..next pass radiator started leaking and i put it on the trailer ..it will run low 12s once i learn not to touch the shifter
