Didnt get any video of the car goong down track.... to busy goofin' around...
I'l get some at the Winternationals....
not so much, sonic checking shows them as beeing the least density except for the old ford sideoilers. nickel content is up, but they are dirty castings in anything 76+. then they had caterpillar cast blocks til they quit paying, went to mexico til the tolerences got too far out, now at world products on the perf stuff. we were getting new crate hemi engines and tearing them down out of the box, finding pushrods missing, one had no timing set at all, rod bolts loose, main bolts loose, one had no oil pump, timing cover dowels were missing and everything was wedged together and would leak if run, had sand in the oil galleys + in the waterjackets, they ALL have machine particles in the oil system and pan, somewehere i took a pic of the last one that was here, filled a pill bottle with curls of iron from the pan and sent it to them. they all come "dyno'd" thocaseyracing222 wrote:I relize that the Chevys are one of the most valued motors out theyre for alot of reasons, Im just into mopar and always will be, I heard from a few long time engine builders that dodge uses high quality minerals for there block casts on production car engines, minerals that would be found in one of ford's or chevy's race block's

I was at the ford dealer getting a window regulator for the f-150 and the guy infornt of me in line had a brand new 6.0d that he brought back in, turns out there was like a cup of casting sand in the pan!![]()
I used to secretly hate SBCs when I was wrenching on BBFs because everytime I'd open up a jegs or summit catalog everything cool was for SBC and dirt cheap too. You could build one mean-ass SBC for a lot less $ than anything else.
I used to do business with Todd Patterson. Some of their Comp Eliminator 300 cu in stuff was nasty on valvesprings.AlisoBob wrote:Not a lot.... the valve action is very harsh.... dosent break anything, but needs close attention.Exnav wrote:How many passes does he make on a set of valvesprings?
