Ben, The best results are from opening the throat to valve seat size and blending into the bowl, bullet the ends of the valve guides but leave the port runners standard size and only remove excess casting flash and this will maintain gas speed and avoid seperation of fuel air at lower RPMs. You can ...

Certainly not standard at +40 with cutouts and indicate an engine that may have had some serious work done, what are the heads like? pictures would be helpful, a small dish may be 9.75 / 1 compression depending on where the pistons are at top dead centre. You may have to source from the US D & D fab...

Re: Stump Puller Cam Question
Please help. The real steel stump-puller cam i have has a max valve lift of 0.465" for inlet and exhaust valves. Im fitting to late type injection heads with the later type valve stem seals. Will i get away with fitting this cam without machining the tops of the valve guides? The heads are already ...

Chevy 305 bore is 3,736". is it possible to bore the Rover cylinders to that size, given that liners would not have too much materia left ? Anyone with practical experience ? I spoke to Ian Richardson at Wildcat before I did mine and he said a 1mm. overbore was the limit so using the chevy piston i...

Sean, Real Steel or V8 Tuner should have the single one coil less springs suitable for the Real Steel typhoon cam. I would use ARP studs for the mains and normal NON stretch bolts for the heads, if you head bolts are non stretch you could re-use them. For the heads who are you buying from? Check whe...

Well unless you are changing stroke and need a different length rod, then I would just use the 3.9 rods as they should be perfectly adequate for all but full race use. Paul responds better to a phone call. Just checked and those 5.85" rods will not work with the pin height of the rover piston and wo...

I have to ask why the change to chevy rods and retain the relatively weak rover piston, are you changing the stroke as well? You could swap the pistons for Keith Black Hypereutectic Chevy 305 items and bore the block to 3.736" + required clearance. presumably your using a 3.9 block as a base. My eng...

Mark, There is no Edelbrock 400 carb, there was a Carter 400 which the Edelbrock was developed from. The 500 will work on a 3.5 engine but is a little large for a unmodified 3.5 engine and will need recalibration as it comes jetted for a 5.0 engine. A Holley 390 vacuum secondary might be a better ch...
