And I went with a little different shade this time. Still blue though





Not much else to speak of other then we mocked it up to measure the piston to valve clearence to see how much we could mill off the heads.

Looks like we can take enough off to get the chamber down to araound 72cc's and get the compression up to 11 to 1.




Should be a serious step up from 8.6 to 1

Looks good Bill!

The longer they can keep Bill painting the longer they can keep his hands out of the important work

Hey Bill,
Gotta hood clearance question for you...
With your bulge hood what heads & intake were you previously running this past year?
If you didnt have the hood scoop would it still clear with just the buldge hood?

Now with your new head/intake combo will you still have the clearance or will you have to change or modify your hood or hood scoop?

thanks,
Doug

Dang Bill. Nice, looked like a Wed night party at the Koffel's Place Lounge. Try any Jungle Juice? Got the other new set of wires cut. Just need to terminate them. Yes, they are blue..lol

We'll be using the same Eddy heads and Team G intake that I was using in the past and they fit nicley under the hood. I think I have about 2"s till I reach the bottom of the buldge.

Bill with that hood scoop have you considered an M1 tunnel ram and a couple 750's? I think I've asked you this before but can't remember. That's why I put a ram on the dartsport, to utilize that scoop, it picked up around a tenth and a half.
