Changes...

[Foggy]

Because of a lack of any sideline issues on the horizon, and an armload of unused performance parts on the shelf, I thought it was time for a small change; same direction though.
We're pulling the engine and tranny in the new year, to tear it down. On the to-do list is;
1. Check the tranny. Should be fine. Never given any probs.
2. Disassemble the engine and check for problems. Know one already.
3. Bore the block another .040". Have the new pistons waiting anyway. They may go bad if I don't.
4, Use the Indy 360-1 245 heads. I look at them everytime I pass them.
5 Indy intake.
Maybe no nitrous this year. Car should run nine's without it anyway...........I hope.

Getting that stuff off the selves feels good too. I have a ton of stuff on the shelves that I've bought for upgrades for my different vehicles, but for the most part I just keep putting them off.

I here that. I've decided that life is just too short. 'Course there are commitments that have been dealt with.........
Im sure you're no different, in that respect.

My wife just came across the flow sheet for these Indy heads. They flow more than 20cfm then the current W2's at .650 and .700" lift and almost 15cfm from .200" on to .600" lift. Looked at the Indy intake, and while being somewhat higher and more plenum then the Super Vic, I'm still wishing I could have found a usable tunnel ram.

Make sure you post up some before and after pics of the motor. You have a good wife there if she was even willing to look for the flow sheet. Mine would probably just toss it.

 

[Foggy]

Will do.
I'm pretty sure she doesn't know what flow numbers mean, but she does recognize car lingo.................

What are the flow numbers from your indy heads? I bought mine from Dwayne Porter, and he'd never sold a set of that particular model at that time. So, he flowed an intake and exhaust port for free out of curiosity. I don't remember all the numbers (I have them somewhere), but I remember that the peak flow on the intake port was 376 cfm, at either .600" or .700". I also remember that I graphed the flow of both ports, and the curves were nice and smooth-no real jumps or dips anywhere. His flowbench is known to be conservative to the point of hurting some folks' feelings, many other benches would probably have had these heads in the 385 cfm range. These are 440-1 345 cc cnc'd heads.

That sounds like plausible no's, 440. My sb Indy's max out at.700'' with a 352 on the intake. I can dig out the sheet and post if you want but you'd be comparing apples and oranges, me thinks.............
