Lots of new parts on the 505 for this round of testing. Dry sump system is main focus with custom drive parts and mounts. Jesel sent me some 1.85 ratio rocker arms so I'll be doing some ratio testing. I'm using a cam from Jones in this motor. This is the first time I've worked with Mike Jones over there since I've always worked with Comp in the past. I also have a full ignition system that MSD sent for testing. 7AL2+ with a big honking HVC coil. Guess we'll see how it all performs here shortly.

Close up of the ignition plate I built for the back of the motor. This makes it more self contained so we don't have to rewire the dyno cell. Thanks to the guys at MSD for the parts and tech support.

My son is 11 now so he is starting to help out with building motors. By the time he is in high school he should be a decent mechanic.

that's cool that your son is interested- mine couldn't care less. good luck with that motor, i hope you blow it up (the dyno)!


for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

Is this a Flat cam, or a roller?..Cant wait for some details...

I'm sure the boy will be pumping out Custom Billet peices before ya know it LOL
That's good that he shows a interest in that stuff, I'm hoping for the same with Mine

what kind of testing will you be doing with the MSD? is it a comparison test against something else?
tell us more about the "ratio testing" as well. what's that all about, just to see if they're really as advertised, or how much difference they make against something else?

Roller cam, 266/272 at 0.050. Mike Jones is an interesting guy to talk to about cams. He does a lot of circle track stuff but he also has some drag race profiles. He posts a lot over on SpeedTalk if anyone is interested in reading some of his posts.

moroso makes those gaskets. 93055 is the number. They will last forever unless you do something to them. They work best on machined surfaces and cast valve covers.

One more thing is i only use the center 4 bolts.

505 Dry sump Pedestrian head engine why ?

With that engine combo Dry sump would never even be a consideration.
Under 1000HP dry sump should not even be in the picture.

Thank you for the data but it does not seam realistic ??

No dry sump unless the motor makes more than 1000hp? That sounds like a really stupid rule you made up there.

Looking forward to the report on the dry sump. My bet is the gains will start small at 4500 to 5500 rpm, and be very substantial by 6500, awsome by 7500.
One thing a dry sump will always have over any wet pan, oil control on the launch. Even the best wet pans have to lose some hp to windage in the first few feet due to extreme G forces at work. The faster the car, the worse it would be. No dyno can show that. It would be great to do back to back track tests to see how much of a difference there would be in each segment of the run.

Sorry I didn't mean to ruffle you feathers .

Is this a test engine or a engine for your car ?

I will go back in your posts and get up to speed on what you are doing..

Engine looks great

I could do back to back wet-sump vs. dry sump testing but I probably won't bother since it takes a bunch of time and costs a bunch of money. Nobody is paying me for this testing so it all comes out of my pocket.

I am planning on moving most, if not all, of my future engine work over to dry sump. There are just so many advantages to the dry sump that I doubt I'll switch back to a wet sump configuration now that I have the dry sump. The dyno cell is configured for dry sump testing so it has a big tank, plumbed lines and a remote filter. So all I need to do is plug into that and go.

I like being able to change the speed of the oil pump since that is one thing you can't do with a wet sump pump. I also like the fact that the oil on the pressure side tends to be in better shape on a dry sump system than in a wet sump system. And if I put a larger pump on there I'll be able to run pan vacuum which should help with the power a bit. So basically I don't see any reason to run wet sump anymore on the dyno, even with street motors.

Well the economics don't quite work out that simply. Magazine articles do provide some income but you can't really make a living building engines for $15,000 and selling articles for $1000.

Andy I am curious about the oil pan just like Kens Avenger. It looks pretty deep for a dry sump set up. Is there a reason for the extra depth. Thanks for the posts, you always seem to find something interesting.

It is a dyno pan so no reason to run a shallow pan when there is room to run a deep one. Usually oil pans work better the bigger they are. Something about the extra volume providing more space for the pumping energy to spread out in I suppose. I don't have test data myself on that theory but plenty of other guys seem to agree that bigger is better when it comes to oil pans. The theory makes sense to me so I just had Charlie build the biggest pan that would fit.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering if we could get a price comparison between wet and dry sumps? Including the cost to mount and plumb them and the accum. tank?

Crank trigger is a combination of MSD parts and brackets that I make. Here is a picture of the setup with the water pump removed so you can see things a little easier.

That's super cool. Totally unrealistic for somebody like me but cool nonetheless!

Also agree that MSD has been great lately (and have always treated MP right in my experience). It's not often a major supplier even bothers telling anyone they made a change, but they've gone many steps further than the norm by encouraging testing of their new designs.

We ran both the Super Victor and the Mopar 337 intake. Also ran 1.70 and 1.85 ratio rocker arms on the intakes. Best power was 1.85 intakes with the 337 intake.

I assumed the 337 intake would be down 15 or 20 hp from the Super Victor but actually the 337 intake made the most power. Not sure why that is the case but it did.

Peak power with the 337 intake was 797 hp. The best pull with the Super Victor was 791 hp. Both of those numbers were with the 1.850 rocker arms. Best pull with the 1.70 intake rocker arms was 780 hp so the bigger ratio was worth about 10 hp.

Carb was rich with the 337 intake so there is probably another 10 hp to be found. We had the carb dialed in with the Super Victor but the 337 intake must be working better since it makes more power with less jet. I'm still having a tough time believing the 337 intake works better than the Super Victor but if you can't trust back to back dyno pulls then what are you going to trust?

The dry sump setup worked perfectly. Oil pressure was nice and solid in the 60 psi range.

This motor has a ton of pulls on it but the Oberg screen looks perfect everytime we take a peek. This motor isn't putting any trash at all into the oil so that is a good sign. It has a lot of 800 hp pulls on it and the bottom end is all stock except for some ARP main studs.

Well it is a little hard to compare since I've switched a bunch of parts around for each test session. The closest to this combo that I've run before was the original Ultra HP carb tests. For those tests I was using the same basic long block combination with the EZ heads but I had an Indy 440-2 intake and a Comp MM305 flat tappet cam. That combination made 740 hp.

This cam is 266/272 at 050 while the MM305 was 279/287 at 050 so my current roller cam is 13 degrees smaller at 050 but makes an additional 60 hp. Heads, shortblock, carb, headers, oil pan, etc are all the same. I'm using a different intake, I changed over to Jesel rocker arms and I'm running the dry sump. So somewhere in there I picked up 60 hp with a smaller cam (roller vs. flat tappet) and a low profile intake manifold.

I doubt the dry sump is worth much power and the intake probably isn't worth much either. I'm guessing it is mostly the cam profile that is making the power but it is hard to pin down with any precision.

Did you say you were using the EZ heads?
I thought those didn't require the offset rockers.
I would be curious to see a nice head comparison now, maybe a set of Victors would be cool.

Edit: I took another look and maybe it was the photo angle making the rockers look like they were offset. Sorry.

The intake rocker arms have the same offset as the exhaust rocker arms. Jesel does not sell a kit like this so you have to special order it. No big deal, just ask for 16 exhaust rocker arms.

The guys at Indy won't sell the EZ head with Jesel rocker arms so you have to have Jeff at Modern buy bare castings from Indy and finish them. But once again, not a big deal you just have to know what you want to who to buy it from.

While we're on the subject of rocker arms, last time this motor was on the dyno it burned up the pushrods due to poor oiling on the top end. I fixed that by getting the new roller lifters from OU812 and using pushrod oiling. The pushrods looked perfect after the dyno tests so I think I solved that particular issue.

Andy, What was the cam lift with the 1.7 and 1.85 rockers?




Lobe lift on the cam is .393/.401 so with the 1.70 setup it was .649/.661 net lift.

With the 1.85/1.70 split ratio rocker arms the net lift was .706/.661.

This really isn't a very wild cam even with the 1.85 rocker arms. .706 lift isn't anything exotic these days. I was running some fairly mild Comp 26097 valve springs and the motor seemed happy up past 7300 rpm.

We saw the best peak power numbers at 7300 rpm with the 337 intake. Evidently the shorter runners on the 337 wants some more rpm to make power. The first pulls on the 337 intake we didn't turn it enough rpm and the power was down a bit. Then the dyno operator decided to lean on it a bit harder and the power jumped up a bunch.

Here is a shot showing the 337 intake being installed. This manifold is right out of the box and the runners don't line up with the intake ports all that well but we ran it anyway. The 337 intake is really low profile compared to the Super Victor which is why I assumed it would be down on power.

I've never seen anyone else run this intake before so I didn't know anything about it but now I'm thinking it is a good setup for the right combination of parts. It sure is cheap, I think I only paid $220 from the local Dodge dealer for it.

Interesting, my CamMotion roller is 706/661 with 1.5's. Is there an advantage to running the smaller cam with bigger ratio rockers?

I'm very surprised on the intake testing results, never would have guessed the 337 works that well.

Andy , is there any way you can post the Graphs?

Peak is cool of course but the curve can be a lot more telling/useful. Thanks!

i had an M1 Stage VI standard port RB I bought from BradH that I wound up not using, Brad said Roger Helgessen worked the plenum roof transitions and it really came alive......the most power I've found working single planes has almost always been in the roof/plenum transition, not so much in the port walls themselves.

We were surprised as well. Only thing I can think is that this engine combination liked the shorter runners in the 337 intake. I had to use a 4150 to 4500 adapter since I didn't want to change carbs. Usually the adapter kills a little power but it seemed to work okay in this case.

Andy, Nice engine. You made the comment that a bigger pump would help your internal vacumn. Woundn't a smaller pan also help with that. I have never heard the bigger pan thing when talking dry sump, just add more sections if you need more internal vac and oil control. My 358 with a 5 section barns pulls 17lbs. I know its less cubes but your dry sump should be making some sort of vac. Jon

It is a dyno pan so no reason to run a shallow pan when there is room to run a deep one. Usually oil pans work better the bigger they are. Something about the extra volume providing more space for the pumping energy to spread out in I suppose. I don't have test data myself on that theory but plenty of other guys seem to agree that bigger is better when it comes to oil pans. The theory makes sense to me so I just had Charlie build the biggest pan that would fit.




I had a deep pan on my dry-sump engine as well (one
that I built) and I believe it was better than what
I have on it now (standard dry sump pan, shallow).
Some testing I did on the dyno at Chrysler showed
a improvement with a deep pan but I dont recall the numbers
but it was only like 2 or 3 HP but that was in a lower hp engine

Quote:

We ran both the Super Victor and the Mopar 337 intake. Best power was 1.85 intakes with the 337 intake.

I assumed the 337 intake would be down 15 or 20 hp from the Super Victor but actually the 337 intake made the most power. Not sure why that is the case but it did.

Peak power with the 337 intake was 797 hp [at 7300 rpm]. The best pull with the Super Victor was 791 hp. Both of those numbers were with the 1.850 rocker arms.




That cam really surprised me. For such short duration at 0.050", on 505 CID, it really made peak power higher in the RPM range than I thought. Obviously the good flowing heads have something to do with that, but I wonder if the cam profile above 0.050" tappet lift is "special". Like you said, it isn't crazy in total lift.

What was the duration at 0.200" tappet lift? I wonder if comparing a lobe made for 1.85 ratio rocker and one for 1.5 is making the duration appear different. ie at the same valve lift (say 0.050 x 1.5 = 0.075" valve) what would the duration comparison look like? MM305S solid at 0.075" valve = 279º, Roller at 0.075" valve (.075/1.85=.041 tappet lift) = ???º (close to 276º?)

And maybe that 337 has more cross section between the plenum and head than the Super Victor? (tapered to same port window obviously) I would think that could be part of it too (505 CID, 7300 rpm, = flow needed).

The 7300 rpm peak reading was a bit of surprise to me to since we usually never run this motor that high. We usually see peak power somewhere around 6800 rpm or so with Max Wedge heads on this shortblock.

The Jones cam measures 180 degrees at .200 and 121 at 0.300. This cam has lobes that are very similiar to the Comp street roller that I ran during the last dyno tests. The street roller lobes were 260 at 50 and 181 at 200 so not much difference there.

The 1.85 rocker ratio adds a bunch of duration at higher lifts when compared to a 1.50 rocker arm so I'm sure that helps the upper end power some. The cam guys I talk to prefer to grind lobes for high ratio rocker arms when they have the chance. They can use a larger base circle and a less agressive lobe shape but still end up with very agressive valve action with high ratio rocker arms.

1.85 is the highest that you can go with the Jesel rocker arms. I'm not sure if someone builds rocker arms with higher ratios than these but this was the limit according to the engineer at Jesel that I worked with. There was plenty of pushrod clearance with the higher ratio rocker arms and we didn't see any problems running the high ratio arms. No sign of valve float even at 7300 rpm so those Comp 26097 springs must have been up to the task.

One of the most influential engine theory books I ever read was called "the design and tuning of competition engines" by Phillip H. Smith

http://www.bentleypublishers.com/product.htm?code=G140

One thing I read almost 30 yerars ago now has been proven to me time and time and time again....the longer the stroke the shorter distance the motor wants the carb from the intake valve....Part of the reason I always felt the Street Dominator worked so well on long arm strokers is the comparatively short straight "line of sight' shot at the valves compared to say the longer taller victor manifold.....now this may not be the reason that the 337 seems to work better in this application but it may be. Runner length for a given port cross-section produces wall friction at high velocities, long runners are very beneficial for torque production....anyone who's ever driven a 5.0 mustang (3" stroke) can attest to that....but once the stroke (and piston speed) is there any runner length beyond "optimum" becomes a resitence. Strokers by and large generate so much low end (based primarily on volume and especially PISTON SPEED) that they really don't need a lot of runner length.

Back in the 80's when the 500" Pro stocks first started covering up their manifolds a big part of that was the trend toward shorter runners and larger plenum areas and was a big departure fro mthe 70's technology tunnel rams. RPM's (again piston speeds) were going up and up and runners got even shorter.

Anyway, I thought I'd throw that in....plus it gives me another chance to ask Andy about the Dyno chart question...'cause we all know peak power don't really tell the story like the torque curves do....especially with wide spaced geared automatics!

PS. Mike Jones is local to me...coincidentally I've been thinking about getting with him on my next roller project

Sorry, dyno curves aren't available.

The camshaft is an R80393/R82401 lobe set from Jones if you're interested. Ground on 110 centers, installed at 106. www.jonescams.com is the website for Mike Jones.

Thanks Andy!

Any chance you might try the Indy single on it...especially since that was what you ran with the flat tappet solid.

There's a lot in your comment comparing the solid to a roller....when you got a big cylinder all thse extra degrees of valve Dwell ABOVE .200 lift really pay dividends in the power department, you trypically/especially see the roller pull away in the RPM range above the torque peak.

first, when comparing the new cam to the one in the old test, even though the comp cam had much more duration, the lift wasnt in the same range to the new stick with 1.85, is this correct? what i'm saying is, there could have been a bunch more power with cam lift where the heads flow best compared to a stick that holds the valve open under the heads peak flow lift

next, is that mopar intake a max wedge port intake like the super victor is?

could the 60 hp increase be due to a big dry sump pan?

Andy, i love reading your tests but you change to many things and you cant really figure out what is doing what. well, except for the fact that the ugly intake is better than the pretty one

If you're comparing back to the MM305 flat tappet cam then the lift isn't that different. The MM305 is a big cam with .650 lift on both intake and exhaust at 1.50 rocker arm ratio. So really this roller cam picked up 60 hp over that flat tappet cam even though the duration at 050 was down a bunch and the lift was basically the same.

I did change the intake manifold from an Indy 440-2 to a Super Victor and I ran the motor as a dry sump, but the oil pan was the same exact pan. Everything else was basically the same.

I never heard of the 337 intake befor now. Is that like the Stage 6 intake? Looks like the valley cover is part of it.

Streetwise, that is an interesting concept and seems to make sense..specially on relatively low RPM strokers. I have been debating, i have a SD and an M1 to try on my 500 ci stroker. Figured I would now use the M1. even considered selling them and getting a Victor. After reading this, think that might be a waste of money when i already have the best intake(s) for the job.

I'm leaning towards that explanation, considering the similar Stage VI intake that Bobby (streewize) referred to above had such a large plenum and significant taper in the runners. On a 440, it made big HP, but had a noticeable dip in the torque curve below the torque peak.

I like to see how the MP intake and the Super Victor's torque curves compare across the RPM range, but noticed Andy's "no dyno curves available" reply.

I just don't consider the curves to be all that reliable so I don't bother to post them. The peak numbers are repeatable so I'm comfortable with them.

One thing I have noticed with this engine is that the Indy claim of 100 hp is fairly valid. I've gone back and forth several times on this shortblock between CNC ported Edelbrock (or MP) heads and the Indy EZ heads. The EZ heads always make about 100 hp more than the std port window heads. It isn't a perfect apples to apples test since the compression drops a point when you switch to the Eddy heads and the rocker arm ratio drops from 1.70 to 1.60, but it is close enough to draw some conclusions.

The shortblock consists of a 1977 440 block, 440Source crankshaft, SCAT rods, Diamond pistons. The block is all stock with the exception of the ARP main studs. No girdle, no block filler, no aftermarket main caps, etc.

The 440Source crankshaft was installed right out of the box as were the rods and pistons. Main and rod bearings went in without any issues. I didn't have to scrape bearings or re-machine the crank or anything like that.

This motor has been on and off the dyno now for a couple of years without any issues. It has somewhere between 50 and 100 dyno pulls on it now but I don't actually keep count.

We changed rocker arm ratios during the dyno test session. The more I work with the Jesel setup the more I like it. Just crank each cylinder over to TDC and pull the shaft. Sure is a lot nicer than having to yank the entire shaft assembly off and re-work it.

what are the differences with the motor between this test and the one where you had the big Comp roller in it?

did you make full pulls with the motor in that other configuration, or were you limited by the dyno capacity(around 800hp as i recall) on that previous test?

IMO, there are way too many differences between the tests you did with the Comp solid vs this test with the roller to draw any real conclusions between the two cams.

This combination is very close to the combo with the big Comp roller cam.

That combo had the .800+ lift cam with an Indy 440-3X intake and wet sump oil pan. This combo has the smaller Jones cam, a Super Victor intake and dry sump. The oil pan was the same one, just ran it dry with the oil tank remote.

Both motors had the same 1.70/1.70 rocker arms, same heads, shortblock, headers, same operating temps, etc.

I also switched from the dyno cell MSD 6 ignition on that big cam test to a MSD 7AL for this test so there could be some power difference there.

Same dyno cell and same limitations. This dyno is limited to about 670 ft-lbs max torque so we're bouncing the needle off the limiter on some of these runs which doesn't make the operator all that happy.

what was the peak HP number with the big cam and Indy intake?

805 at 6400 but we only got 3 pulls on that combo before the pushrods turned crispy. I pulled out some of those dyno sheets and they look very close to the current ones.

Yes, the 337 intake is a single 4bbl Max Wedge intake from Mopar Performance. Low profile with an integral valley. It is the intake you use if you're running original type Max Wedge heads on a 440 block. It is the only intake that fits that combo since it has the integral valley. There isn't a bathtub gasket for the MW ports so you have to use the 337 intake.

It fits with Indy or Victor heads but you end up with a double valley tray arrangement which looks a little funky. It works fine, just looks weird.

okay....so playing devils advocate here......

what you're saying is.....

the extra .100 lift, and the pushrod eating spring pressures that went long with that cam, yielded a gain of only 8hp over the current combo.

That is the way it seems. I'll get some more pulls on it in the future and we'll see how it goes. I have a new oil pan to build and I'm going to switch over to a 4 stage pump.

I wouldn't mind getting back on the dyno to compare some of the different intakes that I have around here. I've run the 440-3X on this motor before but I didn't do a back to back against the Super Victor or the 337.

This motor sitting here in the shop since the last set of dyno runs so I started to make a few upgrades to it. I'm switching over to a special damper from ATI that has a BB Chevy bolt pattern. That switch allows me to run the BB Chevy trigger wheel as well as a standard Chevy dry sump drive. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance.

Here is a shot of the ATI 917120 damper with a BB Chevy trigger wheel. This is an 8 inch wheel from MSD. The 917120 damper clears the Jesel belt drive just fine. Only problem was that ATI has the wrong specs for the keyway and so it didn't fit out of the box. I sent it back to ATI and had them re-machine it to correct Mopar specs and now it fits fine.

Here is a picture showing the spline drive nose from Peterson mounted up. This is a standard BB Chevy part number. It has to be modified to fit since the crankshaft bolt on a Mopar is larger than on a BB Chevy. If you go this route you need to machine a pocket in the back side of the drive plate for clearance.

Last photo of this series shows the Peterson drive assembly all installed. This spline drive setup is really nice. The drive torque is taken by the three bolts rather than the center bolt. The center bolt is just used to hold the drive assembly together.

I decided that I didn't like the flathead screws holding the Peterson drive plate on so I made my own drive plate. I counterbored mine so I could use 12 point bolts.

This picture also shows the new crank trigger mount. I had to design a new one to work with the larger Chevy trigger wheel.

I went ahead and designed a bracket for the smaller 3/8 diameter pickup from MSD. Some guys like to run the smaller pickup since it takes up less space and it has a shielded cable.

Is those just caps? Who's oil pump is that? I was thinking those were just the Inlet/Outlet to your remote oil filter correct?

Very nice stuff BTW

Sorry for the confusion Bob, those last pictures have a Milodon pump mounted to the block rather than the dry sump pump that is usually there. I was working on a different project so I changed pumps and forgot it was there when I took the picture of the drive assembly.

It has been a little while since I worked on this 505 motor. Latest update is that I'm pulling the EZ heads off and moving them over to my new 514 motor. I'll be putting the top end off of this motor onto the 505.

So next round of testing will have ported Edelbrock RPM heads, tunnel ram, and hyd roller cam. I'll keep the dry sump setup on there since it is all sorted out and working nicely. I'll have the new setup up and running in a few weeks. Should look wild and I think it will run pretty hard. The power will be down 100 hp or so from the EZ heads but it should be a good street bruiser type of setup.

Basically I decided that I shouldn't keep making 800 hp dyno runs on this stock block bottom end. So I'm moving the EZ heads and Jesel setup over to the 514 motor which is based on a World block. I'll keep the 505 motor around as my standard port head dyno mule. That gives me a std port dyno setup and a max wedge dyno setup. Now I won't have to swap heads back and forth whenever I want to test different intakes and such. The std port head knocks at least 100 hp off and probably more. So this 505 goes back to being a 650 or 680 hp motor which should help the bottom end last a longer time.

I pulled the 505 apart the other day to see what it looked like at 80+ dyno pulls. The 440Source crank is in fine shape as were the SCAT rods and the Diamond pistons. Rod and main bearings both looked okay. The block is toast though. The main webs are cracked on both #2 and #4 so it is going to the dumpster. Guess that sucker just couldn't handle those dyno pulls where we were putting out 800+ hp.

I have a 440 block lined up to move the rotating assembly over to so I'll have a new 505 back up and running within a few weeks.

It has a lot of 800 hp pulls on it and the bottom end is all stock except for some ARP main studs.


As you have shown, a stock block at that power level needs some help such as aluminum rods, aluminum main caps, girdle, something to reduce the chance of cracking cast iron.

No mods to the next block, just less power. I've added another motor to my stable for race part testing so the 505 will be downgraded to standard port heads. So even with ported Edelbrock heads I'll probably be fine with a factory block.

The EZ heads are moving over to my new 514 motor which uses a World block, Callies crank, gas ported pistons, dry sump, etc.

Thanks for the information Andy.
I know a few people that have better heads then the Indy EZ heads on stock blocks.
I am going to point out this post to them and hopefully enlighten them on the possibility that they are driving time bombs.

I ran my 440-1c 496ci with a stock block at 800hp. last one season and a cylinder wall cracked at the bottom.

My block now has girdle, alum caps, alum rods and filled and its been good for three years now running 850+hp but i do realize that it is only time....

Yep, I agree. Anything cylinder head that is capable of making more power than the EZ head really deserves an aftermarket block.

I'm going to be interested to see if there is any power difference between what my cracked 505 was making and what the new 514 will make. The 514 will have the same exact heads, cam, intake, carb, etc that I was running on the 505 so the main difference will be the block itself and small changes to the bore and stroke.

Makes me nervous as well. I am spraying a 150 HP shot on mine, and it is making right at 800 HP plus it is in a 4050 lbs car. Ran a 10.59 @ 127 last time out, and that equates to right at 675 HP to the wheels, which assuming drive train loss is about 800 at the crank.

Mine does have a Hughes Girdle, so hopefully this is helping me out some. Wish I would have went with the BCR Products Girdle that includes aluminum caps!

Here is what the caps and the bearings look like after 80+ dyno pulls. The bearings are showing some signs of wear but the caps are really getting beat up. These are Clevite MS-1795V main bearings.

I suppose the answer is already in the pic above, but is there any specific reason you used 3/4 grooved bearings, and not fully grooved ones?

No particular reason, these bearings just happened to fit the crank properly so we used them. I do think that 3/4 groove is the best compromise for oiling and load capacity but lots of BB Mopar engines have run hard with full groove bearings so nothing wrong with going that way as long as your oil pump can keep up.

I'm waiting for the cam to come back on my 527 motor, around thirty dyno pulls before the pushrod broke. I havent taken the oil pan off yet to look at the bearings, crankshaft scraper and so on. I will look closely at the main webs now No filler, no girdle, ductile iron caps and ARP main studs
