Re: Engine advice needed
Thanks Alan. I'm planning to add headers as soon as I can justify the expense, (make more $$$ that the wife doesn't find). We are using the Cometic head gaskets and new ARP head bolts. Had considered looking into a camshaft change as well, but I'm already shelling out a bit more than I originally intended to. I'm looking into a larger pulley to lower the boost as well. Hopefully that will be a little better on the pistons. Pretty sure it was making more boost than the prior gaskets could handle. Only a 2 inch pulley as it was. I did find a shop in Missouri, (stiegemeier porting), to rebuild this Whipple. Had really hoped to find someone closer to home in NC for that. Unit should be back here in a few days. Thanks again.
