Heck, we don't even use money to keep score anymore, just keep counting the round wins!!!!!! Probably scare the heck out of me anyway if I ever figured out the total cost to go racin'!!!!!!! Maybe I'll "retire" from owning and go back to driving next year???????

If we are starting Christmas lists, I'll put this on mine:

My garage isn't big enough to mount that block , Did they forget to mill out some combustion chambers in those heads ??

We call them a very small, very closed chamber with size large by huge valves!!!!!!



The extra head bolt holes aren't drilled and tapped in the block yet.....

i just did a chevy with the big chief heads$$ but now i and doing a 512 ford DAVE with the srp dish pistons and scat crank and bbc 6700 rods just cut the iron heads out to for the ss valves going with a custom solid roller in the 630 lift with 110 lsa and 240 dur should work ok .i have a bit of time in the iron heads going with screw in bbc stud g plates super 7 locks delwest keepers with bbc roller rockers do you see the bbc pattern

Sounds like a very nice engine....but I gotta ask, why is he sticking with the iron heads???? We're running about the same cam in the T-Bird, without digging for the card I think it's like a 635/242. Makes a ton of mid range, torque line on the chassis dyno peaks at a shade over 500. Seems the bigger engines react well to the 110 lsa, first one I've tried and the torque increase was a big surprise!!!!! When I win the lottery I'll just drop ship that 800" block and the hemi heads to ya Pat!!!!!!

well you should know me ? it was a 429 crank was junk it needed a bore and rods were junk to so,this guy just got the truck and wanted more grunt so i talk him in to this it was not to hard but he has limit on funs so the heads should work it going in a 4 wheel drive truck with like 38 tall tires,i would of like to pull it in to 108 on the cam but the CR is set up for super pump gas so it could be down on hp but i hope it will just kill all the bbc in sight
