i'd use a dome piston for around 14:1cr, and std EZ-1's with some minor clean up/valve job corrected, and more than likely a roller cam.

It would be interesting to see how that combo of roller cam and std EZ heads would work. The only motor I built with the std EZ head didn't really work out so well. Once I had the EZ heads opened up to max wedge size they took off. But I'm sure if a person played with those heads a bit in std form they could be made to work. There are a lot of fast cars with heads that are worse than a std EZ!

i guess that my calling the EZ-1's the "standard" head might be confusing.
the EZ-1 is the non-ported MW sized head.
that is what i would use, not the std port EZ head.

the 4 versions are:
*EZ (std port, no porting, stock oiling, std rockers)

*EZ-1 (MW port, no porting, stock oiling, std rockers)

*EZ-295CNC (MW port, 295cc intake port, external oiling, std rockers)

*EZ-325CNC (MW port, 325cc intake runner, external oiling, uses ICH 440-1 type offset intake rockers)

well...actually....to be more precise.....i would buy the std port EZ's because they are less expensive, and then i'd open them up to MW size myself.
sort of like paying myself the $150 for the job instead of Indy

Let me stir the pot some more
Other than external oiling, how about a 4.5" stroke in an RB block? Is it doable. Pros/Cons????

The 4.375 with 2.200 pins should clear with only minor grinding. I would assume that it will clear a 1/2 internal pickup but I haven't put one together myself.

I'd like to know if this crank would fit...even w/ a 3/8" pick-up.

470"... 10.9:1 compression, pump gas, Box Stock Victor heads and manifold with a .670 lift solid roller with [Email]270@.050.[/Email] It made 711 horsepower with a 1000 cfm 4150 carb.

On whose dyno? Sounds to me.

I didn't think the Victor heads were good enough to go 700 hp out of the box on a pump gas 470.

Heres a combo that my friend Robert just finished and its going to be in CarCraft pretty soon. Stock 440 block and crank with offset ground rod journals(470") and basically a 7.1" long BBC big and small end rod, 10.9:1 compression, pump gas, Box Stock Victor heads and manifold with a .670 lift solid roller with [Email]270@.050.[/Email] It made 711 horsepower with a 1000 cfm 4150 carb. The heads are like the 2nd set and [Email]T@D[/Email] made the rockers for them using these heads. Seems like 700 horsepower just got a little easier to make. There was very little tuning on the Dyno and more is to come because the engine is still on the Dyno.

440 .040 over w/girdle
4.250 crank, 7.100 rod, ross flat tops(11.3 comp)
Scott Brown solid FT 259/266 @ 50, 625/635 lift w/1.6 rockers, 112 LSA
EZ heads MW ported (340cfm @ 600)
440-2 intake, 900cfm carb

wad ya think??

John - I think the combo sounds awesome and if nothing else, should come real close to 700hp. I think it will be a shoe-in with a bigger carb, just my .
