For the haters and second guessers, bench racers and more.

Nah, It's good to 20#'s as long as I shift under 5000 RPM. That's the plan. Ha ha ha! Keep the timing at bay and the fuel a plenty!

There's the difference between you and ole Mikey Mike.

Under 5k? That doesn't sound fun at all. That's like, my rear end won't break if I don't put it to the floor until the 330'.

Well it made right at 360hp NA at 4750 and then it was done. With 15 pounds by 5000 I assume I'm in the 600hp range. My HPX slot is at 4.9x volts by then anyway. Fuel system wouldn't take 6000 rpm. Stock lines and rails. Honestly it does feel a little strange shifting so low, but it keeps me smiling, and not breaking stuff keeps the old lady smilin. Ha ha ha! Plus the 4.56's make it feel extra stout.

I can assure you those headgaskets are leaking in more than one spot.

I remember seeing it at the last cruise. Looks like a fun truck.

Yeah the trans got stuck in 1st and it reved to 6400+ and blew off the vacume hoses and blew trans fluid all over the exhaust. It had an S-Trim and a traction issue. Trapping at 90mph. The Novi should be far better.

Don't be a moron.

He can't help it, he was born that way.

That shortblock does look pretty nasty.... my 'vert with 140K mile original shortblock + 10,000 miles at 550rwhp looked better than that. I'm no expert, but it looks like it sat at the bottom of a lake or something!

This thread is great. Kids will learn....maybe. So much fail in one thread.

Be sure to clean the heads and deck surface with a scotch brite disk like fore mentioned. That will help a lot.

Why ask for help/advice but not take any of it when its offered?

Plenty of people in here have been doing this shit for DECADES and know wtf they're talking about and trying to help out but doesn't seem to be sinking in.

I didn't ask for help in this thread, and im sorry I don't have the cash to drop on a built dart short block or a 351 roller short block. Of you'd like to donate I'll take any offers, but until then give up on the I'm not accepting help shit, that gets old.

I'm on a budget and a time frame. Excuse me for doing whats best for me, and not you.

I think really what you want to hear every time you post a thread is "k."

I beat a cobra. K.

My car is running weird but if I spray it, it seems faster. K.

What kind of head gaskets to use? K.

I melted a plug, what causes this? K.

My head gasket is blown. K.

My head gasket isn't blown. K.

Here's pics is my head gasket blown? K.

[91CoupeMike]
