your car looks great

Thanks. Yours looks mean. 26 is about the maximum any more and power starts to drop of. What sort of rockers are you using. Mine are T&D shaft mounted and I want to find out about welding the bases together?

yeah I tried 28 on a chassis dyno and dropped off, started with 24 but made the best at 26 degrees. I"m running crower sever duty stainless rockers, nex tek springs 850 open 280 seat. probe stud girdles, manely studs. havent shifted over 7000 yet . 3 passes on motor.

Yes, The CHI heads are very efficient

One thing I didn't mention, is with the high spring pressures I am running Torrington needle roller cam bearings with the block machined and special camshaft bearing sizes, 55 mm, The whole idea of the motor is reliability with plenty of streetable power. It will be at least a couple of months before I have it all running.

well you have a super nice car. good luck

seefour where did you get the headers for your car? and what deck height is your motor?

Tubular automotive, I know they are on the net but gotta look for them
1 7/8 x 35 x 3.5 ....they fit right in even with the CHI heads
9.2 deck height

do you think they would fit on a 9.5 deck? also how much room do you have from the head to the shock tower?

Gordon what deck heigh are you running and who's headers do you have. im building a 9.5 deck with yates heads and trying to find headers.

I have removed the shock towers. It's a 9.2 deck height. I think Yates heads are even higher exh ports than the CHI heads which are about 5/8 inch higher. I am building my one headers with 1 7/8 stepped to 2 inch with 3 1/2 venturi collecters.
