Glad to see you have a change in the positive direction Dan.

The track will be the true test, it always finds the weak spot.

Single 4 over the Cross Ram anyday

Glad things are working out with gaskets

-Update-

Going to the track thurs for the real results. Anyone want to take a guess if the single 4 will be quicker/slower than the mw crossram and carters in similar air?

Thanks again for the help/suggestions.


Glad to here that the simple things helped As far as my thoughts on the single versus the two carbs and cross ram intake, unless the carters where not close on the tune up and the new single four is dead on I think the crossram will be faster, not by a large amount but better I have a freind who removed a stock 426 M.W crossram with two Holley 650 and installed a Indy two piece bathtub intake for the M.W. SR heads with two Eddy 750 Carbs and picked up a bunch at the track Better intake and bigger carbs equalled faster and quicker Let us know Friday after the testing

Just got home and was supprised that the single 4 was just a tad better than it has ever been in the 1/8th after a couple jet changes. Car was .01-.02 better 60'. MPH picked up .9 with jet change 2nd run. More jet 3rd run picked up .4 for a best of 1.563 4.649 7.25@94.61 mph. Best I can find in similar air was 7.28 This is at a race weight of 3825#. Crossram still looks better under the hood.

I am going to put this engine in another car for next year and just wanted to try to get it figured out before it got pulled. I'm gonna put my more street friendly motor back in with the crossram.

Dan, I'm not suprised at all the single 4 made more power. The more power you make the more the single 4 will leave the cross ram behind.

What single 4 do you have?

Certainly like the looks of the cross ram though

The intake is the 337 mopar intake. Heads have never been touched and the intake ports on this intake are quite a bit smaller than the heads. I'm sure there is room for improvement. Next time I have the heads off I'll match the ports. I have accesss to a 950 HP carb, I might give that a try. Any thoughts? I shift at 5800 and it goes through 1/4 at 6000-6100.

Next time your at the track try shifting it at 6100 or 6200 or higher and let the motor grunt longer in high gear at the lower RPMs nearer to the peak torque RPMs
