[@donziperk]

Do Not bottom your head studs in the block like these guys did with a impact tool. It states in the ARP instructions to put them in hand tight only. With heat expansion you can damage your block or stud threads. On the engines I build I measure the thread depth then ensure that my studs go in far enough and aren’t being held up by a tight thread burr. I personally leave them a 1/4 loose and have had no issues with that in 30 plus years of building the specific engines I build.

@@alpha2gproject783 If the person can learn the system MS is a great deal. Im thinking more of an out of the box system though.

I think thats the mark to hit, when an out of the box system (intake, TB, ECU, dist, wiring and fuel pump, etc) can match or beat that, then yeah carbs are done for good.

Valve springs are gonna be troublesome on the street with that much lift, keep it under .700" gross lift and things will stay a lot happier for much longer not much noticeable difference in power for the added durability and cost of maintenance an addition of a Stud girdle would make a noticeable gain in power and less rocker stud breakage.

The Trick Flow 325 Power Port heads are very nice pieces, but for this size of displacement, I think they are a bit on the small side.

Looks good. But compared to S6 E5 when you went to JKR a little low on power. John made 1100hp with no power adders. But still love the video

Hey Mike and Pat, did either of you know that the foot in foot pounds never changes? It should be foot pounds because of how torque is measured. At the time it was first used, which was possibly in the late 1800, the dominant beast of burden was the horse. They had a contraption that allowed an animal or engine to lift a weight. At one end of a thick rod was another one rod that was a foot in length. This was elevated from the ground. At the end of that was possibly a chain that would be attached to the weight. Do either of you know what a yoke is for an animal? It's what goes around the neck of the animal. It would be a different arrangement for an engine or an electric motor. That horizontal bar possibly had two or more bearing, which could be placed in what could be a framing for a swing. When that horse was attached to those straps and started moving forward, it would twist the horizontal tube and will additionally twist the one foot rod at the other end of it. This would allow the weight to come off the ground. That weight will determine how much twist or torque that animal had. How would they be doing that with an engine? Most of them had standard transmissions. They wouldn't use it, though. They would use the clutch instead. What would it be attached to? A flange that would act as the friction disk of the clutch. That flange would be bolted to the other flange, which would be at one end of the horizontal tube, which would have tge one foot rod at the other end of it, with the chain attached to it for the weight. That's how they, at that time, determine how much torque or twist that engine had. As you exceedingly well know, people use a dynamometer to test for horsepower and torque. Don't ask me, don't know that answer. Perhaps you could ask Google that question. It would possibly have an answer for that question. That's the reason why it should be called foot pounds of torque instead of pounds feet. No, that foot will never change.
