Looks like you have listened to Mark and will have one well set up machine for sure.
If I had done more of what he had suggested I would have beat a lot more of the guys I have been up against.

Mark knows his sh1t. Not only about engines but setting a car up to make that HP get down the track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've set it up just like Mark's told me to so it's like him having a car in New York, I even got a set of S&W wheelie bars so not to smash stuff. I also added the drivers cage to my 12pt cage for my own security. Hoping to get it back this week to start putting it together. I've warned them on Skyview site that there's a new Sherriff in town.

I have to Keep popin back in with some videos so you won't forget about me now.

Hey Mark,
I'm dam close to starting this beast,
I gotta set the fuel pressure regulator and set it for the psi you told me to and hook up the MSD box and it's fire time.
I been waiting all winter for this time to come and it's just a few more hours away.
I ran the gas lines like you told me #8 from the cell to the pressure regulator, then 6 to the carb bowls.
I'll get some pictures for you to see it's still in grey prime.
It's got the cage and the funny car cage, the wheelie bars, 30" x 9" hoosiers radails on it, it's looks really mean.
I go the 28th for the chassis/cage certification, then I'll run it to the body shop the end of the month have the front end put on and painted and it'll be done.




P.S.

You know me I got something for ya to watch, this will make ya laugh so get a big coffee and a smoke it'll take about a hour once ya start if ya can't stop and you watch the 6 videos!
The series is #4 -#9
#7 is really funny

Theres more power there, what does the car run?

HEY MARKkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk,

Wanna see where I'm at,
I took it to the body shop for the frontend to be put on and paint yesterday. It's been a long time in the making, but here's where we're at!!

What are you going to do to them?

Just bowl-blend the stock heads and dingle-berry casting flash clean them up or are you going to do a John L. 2.25"/1.90" valve, bowl and then flair them out to a large oval port rework best that can be done??

Hi! guys new to the forum,but had some thoughts.I have the article that John Lingenfelter posted in the mag and he stated that he did nothing other than add larger valves and a bowl blend to the lowly peanut ports.with a mild roller cam he made over 500hp with a 502.Thats over 1hp per cube.Another thing worth mentioning is that these heads feature ports as large as most smallblocks use for all out racing.The 220 motown head used by bill mitchells 454 smallblock made 600 hp,so if the peanut port is already this size and only needs attention in the valve area.Why can't they work for Big blocks up to 500 cubes for the street???

First welcome
To answer part of your thoughts,,,
You cannot compare port volume between different designs of heads, not valid even between different SB heads like 23° & 18° ones
Hell it is hard enough even with the same basic design as you have to knwo where the volume is located
Port volume is just that a measure of volume not cross sectional area
Think about how volume is measured

We are not trying to compair peanuts to Lg ovals, or saying that peanuts are great, but we need to start using them. With that small runner the torque will come on really low, and power will peak by 5500RPM. I have built more than one 455 pontiac that ran 10's @ 3600LBS with a head not near as good as ported peanut. That was on pump gas, 2500 stall, and 3.55 gear.

Thats a very good point! Car Craft's big block shootout was great,but what really fascinated me was how much torque both the Pontiac and the much smaller 440 made with whats considered tiny ports for a BIG BLOCK CHEVY. Go figure.

I sort of understand this but have to wonder when folks talk cross section.The vortec casting has a smaller cross section than some other aftermarket heads. why then do they flow as well as they do?I read a book on head porting that stated that only until high lift does the port become a restriction and most porting attention should be paid to the valve and bowl area. What do you think ? How could a peanut port with a valve that moves away from the cylinder walls be worse than one that doesn't.

[ShouldntBeHere]

So I just spent over 3hrs reading this thread.....

Did the 505" EVER make it to Wolfplace to get dynoed and inspected? I don't know if I can't comprehend what I read these days or what but I damn sure didn't see the dyno test or a link to another thread....


Anyone have the run down of what happened on this soap opera of a story and accompanying dyno testing?


Talk about a freakin cliff hanger....

And I am still wondering what the nova runs!!!

He broke the rearend, you would probably do better following my cars or customers local to me that I call the shots on.
