Play time is over you M'Fers.

That's some beautiful hardware!

The manifold look good. How long are the runners? I work on a 68 Hemi Cuda with stock carbs and were down to 3.5" runners and maybe going shorter and a larger plenum.

 

[psfracer]

Exactly. The runners on the left manifold are way too long for the rpm range I want to turn the motor. The one on the left the runners are 6 inches long.

On the Hogan intake they are 4.5 inches long. We are probably going to make a 1 inch spacer between the top and the manifold to increase the plenum volume.

On that SS Hemi Cuda, how high were you guys spinning that motor?

We try not to go over 9400. The spacer will definitely help the volume. We also use a 1" spacer under the crabs with transition extensions on the spacer to help direct the mixture to the runners because we are limited to where the crabs have to sit.

Oh ok, thats why you are looking at 3.5" runners. I will be turning 1,000 rpm below that!

I'm surprised its able to turn that high being it was only designed to turn 6500 for NASCAR back in the day. The wouldn't believe what we have done with the block and heads to turn that high.

 

[psfracer]

Well this took a while. That oil was baked on due to the mishap in Vegas. What a Pita.

Looks good Paul


Would it have been easier to,have them media blasted?

 

[psfracer]

Stop making sense.

Besides, I like doing things the hard way.

 

[86GT351]

Very nice piece of equipment you have there!

They look good, that's one of the bennys of having removable tubes. We have a guy clean them every time the car is on the lift,

Getting my carbs back tomorrow. Throttle bores were bored out to 2.125 (stock 1150cfm carbs are 2.00), and the carbs are fully reworked.

Going to order my new dry sump pan, going with a 5 stage system that will pretty much look like below, with the exception of one more line coming from the oil pan. No more oil pressure drop in the shutdown after the run, plus the 5 stage will also pull enough vacuum so I can eliminate the vacuum pump set up.

I am going with a 5 inch flat bottom pan. This will allow me also to move the motor back some if I chose to do so (haven't made up my mind on that yet). The pan I HAD on there was this one, where the K-member and manual rack went where the pan was 5 inches deep. The front kick out for the oil pump will no longer be needed, since I will be running an external oil pump, which will allow me to reposition the engine as I see fit.

 

[SSPSTANGBANGER]

nice you will like the dry sump system better and no worries about ring seal or windage with it.
What brand pump are you going with?

 

[beefcake]

very nice

Dailey. I am not sure what tank yet.

Got my 1250 dominator carbs back today from the carb shop. Now I can redo my fuel lines / system.

 

[lethe]

Looks killer!

 

[GallopingFord]

I'd leave those on my dining table and consider that a focal point in my house.

Looks great man!

It's a sculpture. Definitely art.
