Got the head CUT today for the CLONE

[1992suburban]

also got some SPRINGS put on

You can install these with your fingers..

stock ones.. orange paint on them

so I cut .050" off the head.. should have 10.3:1 compression now

need to get a cam now...

 

[92burbansmilk!!!]

nned to speed up the bit and slow down the motion on the bridgeport,

Just kiddin, lookin good

 

[1992suburban]

naw its got a good finish on it, besides the finish thats on there will help with head gasket seat..



dont worry it will still outrun yours

BUY SOME BETTER GEARS!! LOL

 

[jr dragster T]

What weight springs are the new ones?

 

[1992suburban]

white.. should be close to 26lb

I think they are to heavy... ordered them before I thought about it..

 

[EagleTalons]

I've heard that they will flatten a stock cam.

 

[1992suburban]

looks like I need to order the CAM NOW

 

[jr dragster T]

Those look like 26 pound springs to me. Will flatted a non hardened cam in short order.

 

[lemegacool]

i would also use reinforced push rods...

 

[92burbansmilk!!!]

and an aluminum flywheel and a billet rod
and a new carb and a better piston
and a better clutch and oh hell bro just give me the head, you dont want to spend that much on a 100 motor do ya?

u know that it aint gona bump compression up alot and if i were you i would port it up good.

how bout going from 7.7:1 to 10.3:1 I would say thats a slight improvement

 

[1992suburban]

not going to port it.. could HURT more then HELP

 

[freakboy]

were u hear that?

 

[1992suburban]

I am not going to port it.. I am building aTQ motor not a High Powered 8000 rpm screamer.

ports are pretty straight shot.. all I would do is unshroud the valve.

 

[freakboy]

im sure the exhaust can still be opened and smothed out a bit.

 

[EagleTalons]

Flow is more useful in upper rpm ranges than it is in lower. Matter of fact. In lower rpm ranges too much flow can damage velocity. It will give less power to lower end.

well said!

 

[freakboy]

alright makes sense

 

[Rickracer]

Porting can mean many things. If you just go in and clean up any casting flash, streamline the guide area, polish the exhaust port without moving a lot of material, it will help with overall flow without hurting, or even helping velocity. Same with the intake, only you want a rougher port finish (about 80 grit) to help promote turbulence on the port walls, which helps keep fuel in suspension.
