Im looking for a new carburetter to replace an old Holley vac sec. 600cfm #1850. i currently have a 300bhp 302 that is purely for the street use.It has big valve heads, 9:1 compression ratio and a street cam .I want a manual choke and something less than $400. It needs to be street driveable...

Julian I would suggest with 64cc heads, 9:1 may be on the optimstic side, but i dont know what pistons you have. I would certainly look at some aftermarket heads with smaller chambers, with either 58 or 54 cc chambers. With the dollar so weak against the pound there are some good bargains if...

Julian , What cylinder head chamber volume do you have ? With 58cc you will typically get around 9:1 i think with flat tops. To get 10:1 compression on standard rods, you will need to skim the heads and ensure the pistons are level with the deck height. I think i read that for every 5 cc...

Thanks for the feedback. I really want to avoid stripping the engine at this stage and was hoping to get some quick gains without internal engine surgery. I am using standard Cast pistons, and we can commonly use 97 octane gas here no problem. I know that decking the block would help optimise...

I have a desire for a higher compressioon ratio to make my cam (edelbrock performer rpm 7122) work a bit better. i only have standard flat top's giving me something like 8.8. - 9.0 :1 compression and i know i need around 10.5 :1to one to make them work well. The engine has lost a lot of torque...

performer rpm cam Biggest mistake i made was fitting this cam. Lost all bottom end torque. I was told by Pete Knight racing it only works with at least 10:1 compression. Mines going in the bin. I was advised to go for short duration, high lift for street use with 9:1 compression. I would...

hi , i would like 265/50/15 rear and 215/60/15 front

i have heard that there is a new source for wide 15inch tyres, possibley Michelin? Could someone confirm this with available sizes and a UK supplier please.

Tornado in Kidderminster will do a good job grafting the two driveshafts together, provided you have renault and granada shafts. Mine were sleeved and have lasted well

Thanks for the input guys. I must admit i am a little confused as some say it is ok and some not. As stated a new block will cost big money, and i would ideally like to keep it and go to +40 thou pistons. I was hoping to raise my compression from 9:1 to 10:1 by decking my heads, but maybe the...

The block has been crack tested and is ok for another rebore. I see that various company sell +60 pistons, but i just wondered if that causes any issues?

Hi all i have a 302 that needs a rebore. The block is currently +30 thou overbored. Is it possible to bore it out to +60 thou without any problems? I intend to fit alloy pistons with a rev limit of 6,000 rpm (10:1 compresion). And another question, are standard rods from a 1976 motor with...

Does anyone know of a source for purchasing door capping strips. (the C-shaped moulded edging that goes over the top of the door on the centre section to prevent door lift) I need a source in the UK, anyone got any ideas?

Thanks for the help guys. I think maybe it is a cam timing problem. It is very strange that the engine is much quieter now than before both on induction and exhaust noise. Maybe the valves are not fully open? Im going back to the dyno tuner!

Can anyone suggest spring rates for a road going GT40 with a Ford 302. I have a car with a tendancy to lock the front wheels too easy, I have 350lb on the front and 475lb on the back. I think these are too much.Any suggestions?

i have a rebuilt 1976 302, Windsor jr heads, Edelbrock 7122 high lift cam (0.496" lift and 290 /224 @.050 lift) with a holley 600 vac sec, Ford Cobra 9424a? manifold, Standard flat top pistons and rings and crank and headers. The engine used to have Standard heads, an edelbrock Torker 2 and a...

Le-mans is a not your typical track! with huge straights it will suit horsepower, but 9/10 tracks and sprint courses a lotus/caterham 7 will trounce any 40, thats a fact. I was able to lap Mallory park in a Rover 1600 engined clubmans car 3 seconds a lap faster than a 450hp GTD 40 at a recent...

I think some of you guys are just are crazy about horsepower, but i dont think it makes a quick car. Im pretty sure a well set up light weight 350hp car would be quicker round a track than some wild race motored one. We dont use tyres that could control 500-600 hp and the supercars that do...
