A Filipino family lived down the street when I was a kid and they were awesome to hang out with, Mr. Danny taught me how to stick and knife fight and Mrs. Lina made some of the best food I ever had! Even though she had a washing machine she would run the garden hose out to the driveway and beat the clothes against the concrete like it was a stream and those clothes were clean when she was done! My dad was in Vietnam in 69/70 4th infantry division!

Holy moly B1 mopar boosted

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Boosted and a short deck and stroke has a lot of potential!

[@arturozarate1752]

Well Ben, Accufab has an intake with 8 105mm throttle bodies....well its the thumbnail to one of their videos, but I like that idea.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

8 is enough or should be enough! I will check it out.

[@craig8187]

Very cool 👍 Off track question here Ben, what is your favourite sealer to use on head bolts that are not in blind holes to seal the threads from coolant? And what brand is the Copper Sealer Vials that I have hear you mention before? Thankyou.

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Very clean threads on stud and block I use black silicone.

​@@benalamedaracing2765By the way, after going through some old notes, I see why a hapless top ring would negatively effect the use of a vacuum pump. Need the flow for negative presure stability not to mention screwing up oil control for a wet sump system. Trying to improve in my next build.

[@craighills2382]

Is single better turbo wise ?

[@benalamedaracing2765]

That has been the question for so long and I feel it is a matter of choice and perhaps the weight of the racecar comes into play.

[@mikes.1882]

Ben, first let me thank you for your patriotism and honoring the fallen Warriors of our Nation. The B-1. When they came out 1990ish, a set of bare heads was $5k-ish and grow your own intake. Im an old circle track boy that played in the dirt. Got to drive a mopar 383 one season. It had the hp heads ported with the use of mopar templates. Everybody thought that motor was a 427 stroker. Nope. No gimmicks. Just chrafsmanship. That car pulled so hard. I just didnt know how to drive it. 😂😂 but i did manage to get it working a couple of times. Wow. The tack tattle tell 6800 to 7500 rpms Timing 38* 14.25 : 1 comp. 264/278 @50 battleship springs. 114 octane gas. What an engine. ETA: I'm looking forward to the dyno numbers on the twin turbo B-1. Always thought the short stroke mopar turbo package would be ominous

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Thanks Mike. I had a childhood friend and had a 383 Road Runner and it also pulled hard in fact I felt was almost as quick as another buddy with a 440! It loved the rpms upstairs! Then he switched to a 383 Barracuda and that was also very quick considering we were running 8" slicks on the streets it hooked up really good! A 440 would have smoked the tires and not go anywhere...

@@benalamedaracing2765 yes sir. We will. And my children will as well. My grandfather faught in WWII, he made it home, but he saw things that he would never discuss, and even when I was young, I knew my "papaw" was a different man than he was, before he found himself in France. When he was asked about his time there (before i knew better than to ask) his eyes told the story without him saying a word. Miss you papaw Hunt♥️.

[@craiggaulzetti2255]

Hey Ben: I’m building up an engine built around a stock 289 block- with a nasty flat tappet cam with .616/.616 lift. I’m going to build it with the lightest rotating assembly I can that will put up with the 9000rpm revs. It will be a bit under 14:1 compression and run carbureted on e85. My plan was to use these Yates heads I’d been hoarding but unfortunately someone at my shop either borrowed them or not realizing what they were sold them or scrapped them. Any advice on heads?

[@benalamedaracing2765]

Just make sure the Yates C3's first gen. should work really well paying attention to the port volume. Hard to make compression with short stroke but it will be possible with the compact Yates chambers.

[@TheRdub82]

@benalamedaracing2765 no doubt you flew close. The Marianas islands stretch across the Pacific.

[@bobgyetvai9444]

Your choice of throttle bodies are gonna change DRASTICALLY !!! Youll see thats a bad choice .

[@benalamedaracing2765]

You may be right and my main concern are the end cylinders intake ports standing straight up. If this manifold is like the one shown on the 7min. mark (top of tool box-Yates manifold) with the end cylinders pointed towards the center you may be right.

[@arturozarate1752]

Almost forgot, back in 2000 I helped an instructor of mine, at UTI Houston, fit 4 F150 5.8 throttle bodies on top of a 10-71 that we fitted to a 400 SBC in a Nissan 280Z. We wired an old Speed-Pro stand alone to it. I didn't get what he was doing then but I picked up what he was putting down soon after. Would 4 single blade throttle bodies suit your needs? I've done a lot of Vipers and I've seen an inexpensive single blade used A LOT. The TPS and throttle shafts are swapped over from the oem unit. I want to say they're a lot less than the single blade Lightning or Cobra units. I've pondered using these vs 8 individual.....ah, I get ahead of myself. I still need to finish the video. I started collecting throttle bodies in 2005, when I was a drive ability tech with Ford, from the 5.4L 3V engines. Shortly after I started toying with the idea of running 4, then 8, on top of a sheet metal tunnel ram base and enclosing them in a single plenum. Some guy in Canada beat me to the finished product. He perfected it and he was FAST!

[@benalamedaracing2765]

You gave me something to think about and open to suggestions. I am just waiting for the owner to say proceed! I think I prefer a single blade unit over what I have shown here.

[@arturozarate1752]

@@benalamedaracing2765 Accufab makes excellent single and dual blade units. I've used them with great success!

[@arturozarate1752]

@@benalamedaracing2765 btw....the Shelby block I'm using I pressure tested both banks and passed, but the 4.250 bore finish was too rough and I'm having to rescale the build to a 4.270. Not what I'd expect from a nearly $9k block advertised as state of the art and to finish for a 4.250 piston. Luckily I figured for a small, yet acceptable, percent error.
