TurboRust Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 isnt that something you wanna account for before the build? not being condescending, I really don't know. maybe.. its a good question to pose.. I'm learning as i'm going along since carbs, autos, and big v8's arent my normal strong point. I was going to get the hypers with the other parts from a trade and when cylinder heads cost 2k I gotta draw the line somewhere..we'll see how it.. the motor wont be getting put together until wintertime so that gives me some time to decide,.

Mattsv8 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 good job. hyper pistons are safe to 300 hp shot or more. but and big but you have to be one hell of a nos tunner. now they will hold 150. if you pull at least 8 deg timing and colder on the plugs. wich is what im doing to the blazer motor right now. 10s on just a 351 and hypers are they 13:1?

TurboRust Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 small update picked up some 15x10 weld ripoffs, they had brand new 295-50-15 indy 500 tires on them... while I dont plan on running them, it gave me some ideas for what would fit http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=542&pictureid=4265 picked up some used bbk 351 swap headers. meant for foxbodies, but supposedly fit the fc swaps just fine with no mods. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=542&pictureid=4263 lastly the guts of the motor... i'm sticking with the hyper pistons. i dont need spray and its not getting turboed, so hypers will do http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=542&pictureid=4264 going to pic up vic jr 205cc heads this weekend, brand new and almost half price.

Dave1647545494 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 is that a dish piston? whats the compression ration 8.5:1 ? make sure its not real low compression or you won't get the power out of it you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
