The V8 Owners Forum -

Phil, did you try insulating the pumps from the chassis? I'd run a single pump but with a 1/2" line and either a 1/2" line back or at least 3/8" and leave it at that

I believe you can buy "noisy" sets and "non-noisy" sets

If you've already got a set of OEM roller lifters and the spider bar and the twin anti twist things then I can see where you can save some cash but if you have to buy all that stuff then a set of "conversion" roller lifters wouldn't cost much more in my opinion. http://www.summitracing.com/dom/parts...

Chris has a point, I do love the fact that my Land-Rover is injected. On cold days I just jump in and drive! The P6 needs a little babying until warm, and can be a bit of a bugger at times. Almost identical engines, totally different behaviour! Later SUs - as used on the SD1 - had electronic contro...

Generally, pre 1970 blocks had short water pumps, later blocks had long ones

I think he wants to buy a rush with a chevy already in it then modify that engine to get the hp required, well that's how I read the posts. As I said, if he wants that kind of power lots of things will need to be changed so doesn't really matter which SBC powered rush he buys

I think the simplest answer to your question is that as the iron block chevy only put out a few BHP as per your original post and you will need to change parts to get the horsepower you want then it doesn't matter which of the gen1 iron engines you go for as it'll probably only be the block and sump...

Ohhh, that was a subtle dig at Coops

Forgot to add, I'm looking at buying approx $1000 of stuff from sumit and they want $300 for delivery so if it can be done cheaper..............

We're always happy to help with shipping. As a rule I can bring about 300kg over for around £150 FFS !!! I've just paid Summit Racing $53.00 to ship a part that cost $46.00 by their cheapest post option. So god knows when I'll see it ?? Their quickest shipping option for my $46 part was just under ...

Christ Eliot that Tech-clean is good, shame it dissolves rocker gear, springs and valves though!

Coops (and possibly Phil) I struggled with -6 fuel pipe to get good fuel pressure at all rpm/loads so have gone up to -10 feed to pump (bosch 044) and -8 to fuel rails. Although in theory -6 should be good enough (3/8 bore on flexi pipe) I found that on solid pipe sections and connectors the apertur...

So did I last Wednesday.

What, where you suggested the ae was out? I still think he should get the ve table correct before playing with the ae settings. JMHO

My first thought was that your fuel table is too lean just off idle. Find your idle point on the map and just above and to the right increase the fuelling by 20%in a 4x4 block and try driving the car, it'll probably be too rich then but it should answer whether being too lean is the fault. If it mak...
