BBC Iron heads

I'll take a small chamber requiring little to no dome to achieve a specific compression ratio over a large chamber requiring a big dome to achieve the same compression every time.

FYI, through the end of the 2007 season when I retired my 468, there wasn't one 468 with 049/781 heads installed in a similar weight Chevelle, competing in Division 1 brackets that could run on par with my ride no mind quicker.

Matter of fact, my Chevelle ran quicker than EVERY n/a 454, 496, 502, GM's 720HP 572 and most 540's regardless of which head they ran, in a similar Chevelle here in Division 1 brackets, just saying.

BTW, the devil is in the details and the performance that HP Hunter speaks of also comes by way of a $6,000 Coan XLT 350 trans backing up that 496.

Just saying.

The trans cost 3000.00, just saying. I think my 10.5 comp 454 with a .560 lift flattappet and 049s @ 3720 would have run right with your 68 in the same conditions. BTW Johns red bull should run 9.3s when he gets it dialed. Just got off the dyno with Bob West's engine, can you say 1.2 60s in his 29.00 baro?

Ed, forgot one thing here, my customer ran consistant 9.70s in his full weight small tire nova at Atco for two years strait with my 049 heads. 505 CID.

I didn't forget anything, you forgot to be truthfull AGAIN in another post whose sole intent is to solicit business.

FYI, that trans sells for $4,000 - $5,000 USED...

That said, don't know, don't care who your customer is, "what is full weight" and "I think" is meaningless speculation, besides it appears no one in your area has ever seen your car run, no mind back up your claims...

Per Mark Guthrie, a guy that first met HP Hunter aka Mark Jones in 2007, knows him well, and "helped him in his shops for months", "Mark has talked about his "3600 lb. Chevelle" dozens of times. I have never seen him run any of his cars, ever and I am just saying none of the locals have seen it."


Meanwhile, Bob's Chevelle runs good, it should, it's nearly 300 lbs. lighter than my '68 and has nearly 40 more cubes and I've been advising him for over a decade.

Again, nice to see that after 5 years, some have caught up and some have surpassed my former Chevelle's performance as is the case with the car HP Hunter speaks of, even if it took 30+ more cubes, a light weight, low drag transmission in a car that weighs nearly 300 lbs. less and last but not least a -1600' DA to do it!

Just saying.

BTW, the compression ratio of this 496 is at least 10.8 not the 10.7 you stated.

Just keeping it real.

My chevelle that you refer too, weighs 3720, ran 10.10 @ 5320 feet DA with a 27.45 Baro with a 118 grains of water the first full pass down the track with a standard weight trans, just facts. Johns trans is the 3000.00 version that Coan sells,

his car weighs 3615-3630, just facts, the second time John took the redbull out in some + 2000 feet DA with some more tuning the same exact MPH was run, as in the negative 500 feet DA of the afternoon runs a few months ago. And finally, Bob West's chevelle weighs 3680. Just keepin it real, and the facts strait. Ive allways been a big fan of your chevelle, Im really not sure why you have the burning desire to compare my stuff to yours. I think when you look at 40 Coupe, Bob West, John Wilson, and my own chevelle, the performance speaks for its self. BTW, I dont need any more buisness.

[1320racer]

it's YOU and team clueless that always compare your stuff to my former ride who's best numbers were run 5 years ago and sold nearly 4 years ago.

Nice picture!Really no reason to compare, were just simply much faster.

[1320racer]

who's "were"?

YOU ain't much faster, in fact slower and again, it's YOU that is trying to prove something, chasing the performance of a car that I sold 4 years ago...




that never was built to run in the 9's, hence no rollcage, though it did, with a restrictor plate having 1 1/4" bores under it's 4150 carb...



it also ran 137 MPH.

meanwhile let me know when you and team cluless run in the 8's, run 150+MPH and 60 foot 1 teens no mind a 1.17.
