Chad It's just a bit of sarcascim LOL puttin a 300 in my Pinto.chad":tutn7ze8 said:"300's make good truck motors....not race motors"
lotta tq per cube!
I agree w/the 1st part (was gunna try it in the bronk but too difficult 4 me).
2nd part - I hear that's not true from the guys over on the turbo'd forum...

Schneider ground my solid roller and it appears to do well, but nothing to really compare it to except sad small and big blocks. Good luck in the off season to both of us on our choices to bring it to the line in 2013. I have the utmost respect for the doers, so bring it in 2013.

I am very much enjoying following your build and Gene's build too. It's amazing to see the little Falcon Six do this stuff. I've never built one myself but getting tempted.
I thought of your comment on open headers slowing things down, and found the following up above in your 16 Jun 2012 post:
"Left @ 2500 rpms on the converter.
60' 2.08 1/8 mile 9.35 @ 74.91 1/4 mile 14.69 @ 91.18
60' 2.02 1/8 mile 9.25 @ 75.15 1/4 mile 14.58 @ 91.55
Decided to open up the cutouts and mess around a bit. Coulda went faster but it was fun running open headers!
60' 2.11 1/8 mile 9.33 @ 75.53 1/4 mile 14.62 @ 92.12
60' 2.16 1/8 mile 9.38 @ 75.39 1/4 mile 14.68 @ 91.88"
So it looks to me like MPH picked up an average of .64mph w/open headers. This agrees with the WerbyFord Gonkulator. Not much gain since muffs are pretty good, but some gain.
The loss in in the 60ft, loses .08 sec, which is like a week in 60ft lingo and probably .20 et as you said. So my guess is to run open, the engine wants either:
* Longer collector (often its not the muffler that makes the car seem quicker but the pipe length)
* More / longer pump shot
* Richer primary or PVCR, but then probably leaner secondary since the trap speed seems to be behaving as expected.
* Do you know what jets/ PVCR holes/ sec jets or plate are in your 600 Holley now?
Sure hope U get things sorted out, to see a 200 six break the 13's would be fantastic.
I'll throw in my 2 cents on this topic. I'm not an expert by any means whatsoever, but I have always felt (and could be wrong) that of two camshafts having similiar lifts and duration that the solid lifter cam will out perfom the hydraulic lifter version. Plus you can experiment with lifter lash to see what works best...no such option with a hydraulic cam. Plus I just like knowing that when I adjust my valve lash to .018 that it is .018...setting hydraulic lash seems so subjective if you know what I mean.Broncitis":3ueku543 said:I believe a solid cam would be your biggest answer to shaving those final tenths and eliminating one more variable
Dean, my new favorite host is Imgur, quicker and (for me) easier interface than photobucket, bigger pictures as well. Slightly easier to change to a thumbnail as well.xctasy":2fd3am0d said:Been there, done that.
The solution is a bit tedius, but Addo and Asa showed me how. "Just" run the main image copied twice, then spend time changing each image to thumbnail.
The rule is there is fix total cost of the powerboard package. Although a real bear, it fixes the time taken to start up each page.
Then they can be as big as you please. Two things. You have to save periodically, and secondly, you have to have no one else within 50 feet, becasue if you get confused with all the image syntax, you'll swear like a mad man.
