Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
We took three days off to drive 1600 miles and see some old friends, do a little work, and learn about the gen III hemi. Now it's back to work.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Got some much needed interior parts at the semi local bone yard. It was only a 125 mile round trip. Ah the perks of living in the country
A friend of mine went to the Holley school for FI and now he thinks the Holley stuff could, in a pinch, run the space station. I'm going to need a catch-can for my brain. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Only had to make a few parts to get heads on the flow bench. I dont know how good they will run but the new castings are pretty consistent port to port. I did pick up some flow on the exhaust side. I got the header flange to match the port better.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Tomorrow I will be playing with alcohol. I will check all the runners and chamber volumes for correct cc. Now is the time to get it right. That way in tear down I can be fearless because it will comply with the rules. Everyone knows that almost right is still wrong. Not to be confused with "The Daily Ledger".

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I have that info in shop, I will text to you. I have set of Kooks SS and MR2 headers, I will keep the best one and sell the other one.
I know the feeling 392 @ 400 from MoPar, NHRA adjustment before first run 392 / 400 now 392 @ 430 Is it an over kill to have Kirke racing seats with a "Rich Corinthian Leather" seat cover? Just asking! |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Pored alcohol all day and only lost 1/2 a qt. The heads are legal right out of the box. The runners are good and the chamber is big 5 to 6 cc. I will run it that way and then recheck before we make an adjustment.
Does anyone how much to cut to reduce chamber size by 1 cc? Thanks |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Normally, .006 per cc is fairly close.
