JacMac that is one hell of a plate and 1.83 inchecs higher means stack length will be too short so I think I will look at setting the manifold up in the mill and modifying to look like a Kinsler 3 piece - see pic. Wow this is going to take a bit of getting my head around !!! Only other...

Terry , Randy For the moment I will try to machine up my own spacers but will keep your spacers in the back of my mind. If you could accurately measure the thickness of the side spacers and the depth of the valley plate, I would be most appreciative. Some good pictures would be helpful also...

Terry What you say is very possible but with the Hilbourne manaifold poses some horrible risks. These are mainly related to the heat stress and its effect on the manifold. These manifolds are somewhat difficult to setup as the butterfly shafts jam with the slightest mistake in setting up...

Thanks JacMac Price motorsport make them I figured with bit of time I could dream something up Prefernce is not to cut my manifold if possible. If I have to, I think I would machine it to be like the Kinsler 3 piece manifold. The only reason i would have to is if height gets really...

As part of changing stream half way through my build I now have a problem with my intake manifold. Iniitially i was going to build a 347 but have since decided to go to utilize the long rod 351W which is sitting under my bench. I had sorted out my intake for the 347 and was planning to...

The dentist visit The dentist pulls out a numbing needle to give the man a shot. 'No way! No needles. I hate needles' the patient said. The dentist starts to hook up the nitrous oxide and the man objects. "I can't do the gas thing.. The thought of having the gas mask on is...

Ear Infection This is so true! They always ask at the doctor's office why you are there, and you have to answer in front of others what's wrong and sometimes it is embarrassing. There's nothing worse than a Doctor's receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong with you...

Dimi Yes your cats look OK What brand are they and who is the agent ?? Woody I had a look through the junk i have scored over the years and found a late 5.0 truck cam which does not have a lot of overlap so will give this a try. Just want to get it buttoned up to keep the dust and crap...

Thanks Mike They look very similar to Track 1s but think you are right about them being SPEC heads now that I looked at Brodix web site. I think they will be fine for the job as long as I do not go wild on the ports. Brodix site suggests they flow enough for 600 HP which is miles more than...

Clive A couple of the guys in SA have been through with a ADR compliant 5.0 (AU11 or later) and stock EFI and then changed them out later. I would rather do it properly if I can with only a cam change if i have to do anything. Zero deck and good heads should in theory help this pass but not...

ADR as per table

Mike Heads are Brodix T1F -X as far as I know. They came as part of some other stuff I bought on Trademe in NZ. Pics attached. I am intrigued by the word DIRT cast into all of the ports ??? As yet they are uncut I was planning on port aligning / cleanup without too much increase in size...

Some time in the future I am going to have my car certified and quite frankly the thought scares the crap out of me. My engine is a Long rod 351W with Brodix Track 1s and Hillbourne intake modifed for EFI. As I am in the process of finishing the machining I was wondering where I should head...

The Australian Solution to Save Petrol Rudd wants us to cut the amount of petrol we use... The best way to stop using so much petrol is to deport three million illegal immigrants! That would be three million less people using our petrol. The price of petrol would come down... Bring our...
