By the way, those heads are in need of a new home, very cheap, all they will need is a valve job, everything else is done.

I've messed with dove( c8,c9 ) a lot over the years ( bought my first pair in 1977) trying a lot of my own ideas and such, and was just wondering what some of your results were.

I have used them on 429s to 512ci engines ,just seing what you guys are doing



-thanks

sounds like fun

My car with DOVE-C's has been a best so far of 6.201 @ 110.9mph. Its a 501, 14:1 cr, comp solid roller, victor intake and a 1050. Car weighs 3180 with me in it. I think with a cam change it will go faster. Motor has no low end and doesnt start really running until about a hundred foot out.

I just went a 6.03, 117m.p.h. at the bash, there is more in it, it was the first time out with the build.

My Mustang went 6.24 at 110MPH .The engine is a 472 flat top with DOVE-C heads and a roller. 4.86 gear with a 32" tire at 3045lbs. The engine went 6.00 at 115MPH in my Thunderbird

My old Maverick went 6.24 one cool nite. Same crank/rods/pistons thats in Harolds engine now on gas and C6 at #2970 w/DoveC's and TOO much timing.

My DOVE's went 10.50@125 1.36 60 foot 4000 lbs. 514 ci. Then they were put on a 2650 lbs. pro tube chassis car 552 ci. 8.73 @ 156 n/a and 7.83@183 with a fogger.
