yeah as discussed here somewhere sometimes port work
can end up hurting flow rather than helping. Just port match.
Don't recall if there's a benefit of removing all the casting
from around the valve guides in the ports though.
I'm just a novice hobbyist.
I run Indy heads, self ported, KB pistons an got a good grind from Crower cams. Tell the cam guys EVERYTHING!
I would love to have Hot Rod try an build a Chevy with a torque band like this w/o nos or a blower...
Can't wait until I get the stroker combo running a single carb burning E-85 with a roller cam...
But like I said its a pigBut its damn fun!
Hey, my idea was to build motors for people...but then then I lost the garage
If this new part can't break....what old part will??
Hi Nekes, I am a Jeeper from the GD of Luxembourg and I am well aware of the shortage on parts in our region. If you are looking for a Jeep specialist in Belgium, there is "Double D". He has dozens of parted out AMC area Jeeps and builds great motors. Last time I was there, he had his basement full of 401 engines ( around 10 years ago). Unfortunately, I don't remeber his adress. You should ask around in Jeep circles in Belgium.
If you are building for LPG , put in a lot of compression. I have an Offy 2X4 intake on the shelve that I am planning to set up with two Impco gas mixers if gasoline prices continue to raise. Fortunately, gasoline prices in the Grand Duchy are still reasonably compared to Belgium, but this might change....
Found him: http://www.ddjeep.com
Really a great guy to talk about Jeeps and projects. The web page doesn't do justice!
Thx Luxi, I will contact him this week. Maybe this guy has torque plates that I can rent or maybe he know someone who has them. Does anyone know if the flow get hurt if you remove the casting around the valve guide?
