I looked at doing this on my car and have just not gotten around to it yet. On my engine the current lift is .513" with the 1.6 rockers, with the 1.7" the lift would be .544". Everything else on the cam would stay the same. I'm not sure what benifit if any there would be? Steve

Hi Mick, I'm having the same problems with an Edelbrock Pro Flo2 system, the maps that they advised me to use were not even close. I have spent many hours trying to get it tuned, still not done. I know this is no help to you but sometimes it's nice to know your not the only one going through...

Hi Howard, I had the same setup that you are running setup exactly the same and it ran great. Edelbrock kept trying to tell me that I should be running much more advance at all RPM's and that's what was screwing me up. I went back and set the timing as you suggested like the MSD and it's much...

Cliff, I have the same heads they are pedestal mount.

Sure enough Jac, I didn't write what I thought. Base circle!

Hi Cliff, to answer a few of your questions: 1&2) if you have enough clearance between your valves and pistins you can go with the 1.7 rockers. What this will do is give you more lift, it would be like buying a higher lift cam! My cam is .513" lift on both intake and exhaust with a 1.6 rocker...

Hi Cliff, What intake and ignition are you using? I have a similar set up with roller rockers. Let's get together and talk. Steve

Thanks Chris, Mine has been anything but plug and play. I am having to modify both the spark and fuel maps. I have found that this is not really possible without an AFR gage and a wide band O2 sensor so I have purchased one and will install it this week. Sorry I didn't get back with you sooner...

Hi Chris, I'm trying to get a good starting point for the maps, both fuel and spark. I just got a wide band O2 with a AFR gage so I can get the fuel dialed in but the starting spark map is not even close. Any guidance you could provide would help greatly. My engine is a 302 with GT40X 58cc heads...

Has anyone put an Edelbrock Pro Flo2 EFI system on a 302?

I'm running a 302 with around 400HP and a Porsche 930 transaxle. My car will do 58MPH in first gear at 6300RPM and just short of 100MPH in second at the same RPM! I have never run the 1/4 but I have chedked the 0~60 several times and am always under 4.0 seconds. I can't even began to think how...

:shocked:Rally? Am I the only person going to this?

Hi Gang, Anyone from the Northwest area planning to go to the Vintage Races at Pacific Raceways the end of June? We had a few cars there last year and it was a good time, we should do it again! Steve

Hi Tommy, I used a Jeep Cherokee 4X4 front hub that is like a cassette and bolted it to a billet upright. I used the Jeep disk with a Corvette caliper, it's very strong (4X4 front ends are rated one ton) and inexpensive. If you would like a picture of the hub I can get it for you. Steve

Thank you all for the quick response and great suggestions, I'll start building away now that I have some info. Thank you again. Steve

I have two questions. 1st- How do you assure that your fuel pickup will be in fuel going up or down a long hill? 2nd- What kind of internal baffels are you using? The 60"+ long narrow tanks on a GT40 present a problem if you are going up or down a long hill, say for several miles like we...

That's a very personal decision... You should look at both in person before you make the decision. I like the car better without the flares! I'm with you Neal...

Looks like a Cherry Max aircraft rivet to me. Is there a thin locking ring around the stem (broken part)?

WOW! Beautiful work Rene. It makes me happy to see someone scratch building and in such a professional way. Thank you for taking the time to update us and share your experience with us. You rock:thumbsup:

I guess I will never understand the thinking of some people? We have a guy new to the forum that asks for some help and several people are quick to answer and tell him why it can't or shouldn't be done??? Did you stop to think that he might already have the tools and skills required to...
