lil 504 Iron head

Was a home scratch build. Small roller cam 230ish/240 duration 650 lift, C9VE heads ported w/bigger valves, intake matched ported, stock crank, alum rods, Forged Dished pistons around 9:8:1 compression, stock block. First time out this past weekend after correcting a few issues from the original build. Car went from 10.60's to a whopping 10.16 @ 133mph. I'm completely shocked. I sit 3150lb with me in the car. I'm cheesing right now... ............GOD BLESS THE BIG BLOCK FORD!!!!!!!!

That's impressive Well done !!!

Thats a good question.....I'm fond of the PG myself. I have 3 friends including my father who all run a C4....great tranny with great results. I would say it's more fun on a all out street application but they work. I like shifting 1 time and thats the only reason why I run a powerglide.

and this motor is running off a 4150 carb set-up. I still wonder if a 4500 carb would help this motor or if it wouldnt make a difference

Id put my money on the C-4 for optimum ET.

Everything would have to down right perfect.....converter...gear...etc.

i saw your car win on pinks all out @ zmaxx. just curious if the 10 grand is going into the car lol

You can get away with the converter, gear etc not being quite right with a 3 speed.....a glide it better be spot on. I know in a higher hp combo the glide wins hands down, in this application since your already there I'd spend the c4 money on more power and be even more ahead of the game................
