I did some whacking on a BBC (deck, heads, intake) recently and used the formulas from this website to do all of the calcs: Wallace Racing Calcs With a little help from a skillful machinist, everything fit like new or better! dc

That's a whole new discussion, the Frammers vs the world, in my case the Wixxers most of the time. Outstanding!

Even if you avoid lithium or any other rechargeable batteries, you can bet your neighbors won't so it really doesn't matter. Plus the EV they parked next to your house and the tesla batteries connected to their mandated solar panels?? No way to win that one.

Bill, I'm in Modesto and I have used that shop a few times, I worked in Turlock for many years. The first time I showed up they gave me a tour of the facility and I became aware of their many talents. One of their projects involved repairs to the dome on the US Capitol building, so scale of the...

You might look into these guys, they are miracle workers: Lock N Stitch They do a whole lot more than pin repairs.

Gerolamy Co. did some work on my Harley heads back in the 80s (I think) and they also used to do quality porting work on some circle track engines at one time. Probably a Grandpa or something???

Wonder what "name brands" offshored them? I'd hate to think I was running Dong lifters!

At one time I think Isky and Crower had their own designs. Now who knows, all could be made by Long Dik Dong

Randy might be right on this discussion. Although I know people who could kill anything and have done so. Maybe an option would be a mild solid lifter cam with a name brand EDM-hole lifter. That's what I put in my Farm Truck for a period correct sound (S/C 923 Isky); you could possibly step...

I was kinda thinking the same thing, but it's hard to gamble on a flat tappet anything these days, even a mild one. And it seems like Comp has gone off the chart with pricing?? I guess it depends on the budget and ability to break in a cam.

I like to use any of the chrome Holleys or Edelbrocks that are set up for large fittings (depending on the engine) and I always use some sort of regulator depending on the carb setup. I can look up the numbers if it would help, but most resemble the Holley 12-327-11 or the Eddy 1721 and are...

Some tubular control arms will have more caster and/or camber built in, allowing more modern alignment settings without piles of washers or spacers.

That's half the fun.

I agree you need a solid lifter cam, probably a roller would be best, but I like to over-cam everything so maybe you'd better ask Don. But...I might be inclined to use a hydraulic roller cam like this: HR Cam or maybe at 110-112 and tight-lash it with a set of solid rollers. Or apply this...

Finding the correct intake and/or carb is possible, but they are getting a bit pricey.
