Re: relatively stock 383 in a 4000lb charger-12's remotely possi [by Blusmbl]

On the street, with no burnout, I don’t think it’s going to be close to happening. It either needs to dead hook with a looser converter than what you’ve got, or it needs to mph really well (like 110+) to make up for the lack of traction on unprepped roads. I’m guessing low 14’s, maybe high 13’s, but you’ll be having fun and that’s the whole point!

The big three need to make a Robust, well designed powerful NA V8s that will last with common sense Prev maint.

Thought Toyota came out and stated that the engines weren't cleaned properly and when assembled had metal shavings in them causing most of the issues.

Re: Using Jesel lifters with pushrod oiling when not needed ques [by Stanton]

Quote

FHO says run two .060 restrictors at rear of block to prevent oil pressure issues.

Hmmm ??? At the back of the block will only restrict oil to one bank of lifters since the main passage from the pump is at the front of the block. Could he have meant restrictors in the passages up to the rockers - that makes more sense on a "full time oiling" block.

Re: 71 Plymouth Fury III Gran Coupe Paisley Edition; $10,500 [by RoadRunnerLuva]

This Fury is cool. The guy probably is trying to recoup his money, but
the car is really nice regardless of the situation. I love big two door C bodies, especially one's with hidden headlights, and
funky (different) interiors/ vinyl tops. It's unique and would draw a crowd, when finished, as opposed to another boring E body.

Re: Using Jesel lifters with pushrod oiling when not needed ques [by sr4440]

I had the same issue with my BAM lifters, the oil hole is facing the center. I called Brad, and he told me that Indy uses a tall ford (oil on the side) .903 lifter with a Chrysler link bar. FYI, when I primed mine with the valve covers removed, it shot oil about 12 feet.

Re: Using Jesel lifters with pushrod oiling when not needed ques [by markz528]

I have no idea on the oiling on these motors. But on my B1MC motor, had way too much oil going to the top. I have Isky lifters. Tony Bischoff (BES) tig welded one of the holes on each lifer and problem solved. I should have payed better attention........

You say that......and then go on to post:

It'll speak for itself as it gets out there into more hands and they'll work out any issues as every new engine has

You mean like the Italian 6 cylinder diesel they suckered some buyers into?

like the 04-08 hemi that loves dropping valve seats. You can now buy a ram with 550hp and soon a charger with AWD and 550hp that will be easily cranked up to over 700. Only a fool would think thats a bad thing.

And only a fool would believe the latest hype with the track record that has ALREADY established.

Re: Using Jesel lifters with pushrod oiling when not needed ques [by fast68plymouth]

Sounds like those holes would have direct access to the pressure feed. No good.
My understanding is that the Koleno blocks also oil that way.

I know someone using one of those Koleno blocks with the lifters having the same PR oil feed as your pic and running T&D rockers.
It just flooded the top end with oil.

Air holes on sides of Holley List 4235 and 4236 carbs? [by DARTGTS340]

Have this pair of carbs for the 426 Hemi with cross ram intake. Any idea what these holes were for on each throttle venturi above the throttle plates? Pointer showing holes and have never seen this on other Holley carbs.

Being a roller cam doesn’t automatically make the ramps faster.

Some high endurance type lobes would be slower than the MP590:cam.

The way I see it, if I’m spending the $$$ to upgrade to a roller, I’m going to try and get some more power for my money.

The reason the profile are shifted is because of the LSA and ICL, not the lobes themselves.

I’m going to go with……….”highly unlikely”.

Never say never, but I think some runs with the Dragy will be a reality check.

I agree.

You have a few advantages over my daughter's 67 coronet, but I have yet to see 14's, but traction will get me there. Also weights around 4000 lbs - last time I weighed it was 4025 lbs. My combination was mismatched, but an intake and cam swap did wonders. I think I put a rpm intake on and a smaller cam. Had a street dominator intake before. It had no low end torque. Not it runs much better and much more fun to drive.

The 440 I had in there for a while would have been 12s, but it had home ported 906 heads and headers.

converter is old B&M high stall "hole shot" unit that stalls around 26-2800 with foot brake, and flashes to 2900+ from idle in first gear.
intake is DP4B with 850 T-quad.
cam is racer brown SSH-25 in straight up.
ignition is factory points system, which i plan to upgrade at some point. the curve has been modified so i can run 16* initial and 33 total. i can re-do the curve to run 18* initial and 34* total. i have also played with the vacuum advance so cruising rpm [roughly 3000rpm @ 65mph] gets pretty reasonable mileage with non-alcohol 91 octane.
car runs pretty good now, but i feel it could be better.
as no tracks are closer than 2hours+ from here, i will be using a Dragy to track performance.
could this combo even come close to the 12 second bracket ?
thanks to those that are way more knowledgeable than me with this subject.

Doable but depending what you are starting with for compression ratio/cylinder pressure and cylinder heads, and what you’re willing to spend/change to make a difference. If you are near sea level, in decent air, blow 175 psi, and have heads that flow 250+ cfm, I think you can do it. I think a 1.80 sixty ft and 104-105 mph gets you there.

Do a cranking cylinder pressure test and report back.

And, I like the TQ, and I like the DP4B. I just don’t like them together. I’d like a Holley 4779 better with that manifold. Play with open and closed spacers.
