Are you willing to give the flow numbers for the cnc heads that you ran? I understand if the answer is no. I'm mostly curious of how they compare to the sets I have that were hand ported.

To be honest that's my plan but they are currently closed and I'm impatient. ;D

Non-FE Discussion Forum / Welder question
« on: October 10, 2019, 07:27:00 PM »
I know this a little off topic for this forum but I appreciate the amount of useful knowledge here. I recently picked up a welder from a garage sale for cheap. It's not a name brand welder and I don't have the highest expectations but it is a new, never used, 230v mig and claims to put out 195a. However, it did not come with a plug. The power wire has three wires. One blue, one brown and a yellow wire with a green stripe. I Googled these colors and found out this machine is possibly set up for European use. I don't know if this corect or not but my question is how do I know for sure and is there a way for me use this with my current 220v setup I have in my garage?

Thank you

I talked to a rep at a show today where they had one of these on display. It looked really good but I was also told it would not be available for another couple months(late June) due to foundry issues.


Wowens I just you are from Georgia. The intake is on display at the Summit Motorama show in Hampton, Ga at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Trick Flow has a booth in the vendor section. Tomorrow(4-28) will be the last day. Maybe you will get a chance to go check it out.

I agree with the suggestions above. Shapeways is a quality vendor. I use 3d cad software everyday. If you need the parts drawn let me know and I will do them at no cost. Then you can sent them to Shapeways or whoever for quoting.
How can I get in touch with you? Would like to send you pictures of my items.

Yes that's what I need.  Mine is broken, almost down the middle, and faded so the color is is only black and gray.

I'm not sure that part can be printed and look good. I would buy one like the one in the ebay listing. I think you will much happier with the outcome.

I need the plastic trunk emblem insert for a '66 7 Litre.  Mine is broken into two pieces.

I haven't found them anywhere.  I could send you the old one.

Is this it?

I watched the video the other day.  Notice the really poor chassis set up and the rear wheels bouncing off the ground.

I agree, could be into the 8's real easy with some chassis tuning.  The top end looks real scary as it is dancing around pretty bad.

Transmission is likely a Jerico or maybe a Gforce 4 spd


It has a G Force 101A transmission. Some of the details are in the video description.

I talked to some of the Southeastern Guys Last year at an event where they were doing some exhibition runs. I think this may have changed since last year but I found it interesting that some of classes had somewhat of a weight penalty for using an FE. Penalty may not be the best word to use but the weight(lbs) per cubic inch was definitely higher than some of the other big block engine choices.

Thanks Barry. I was hoping you would chime in considering you have more experience with bearings than most anyone. I picked up my order this morning and asked if I could see a set of the MA bearings. They look like any other aluminum bearing I've ever seen. The surface is smooth and nothing like what the description may lead you to think. I just thought it was a really weird way to market a bearing.

That's something I am curious about. When does the polishing stop?

I don't agree with the "if it costs more it must be better" approach but I get the point of using quality parts. I've used Clevitte, King and a few others before with no problems. I just noticed the suffix on this part number when looking at what the local Summit had in stock. I wasn't necessarily looking at purchasing these but the MA sparked my curiosity. I've never seen a bearing with an abrasive or advertised like this.

I came across these while ordering some parts for a build. I'm not sure I completely understand why someone would use these. Why would you want a bearing that polishes your crank?

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/slp-4125ma?seid=srese1&cm_mmc=pla-google-_-shopping-_-srese1-_-sealed-power&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInPPI-Of83wIVCo_ICh3gXgRXEAQYCCABEgKT8PD_BwE


Description: These Sealed Power MA Series main bearings can actually polish the journals on your crankshaft. That's because there's a small percentage of silicon mixed in with the aluminum and tin that make up the bearing-surface alloy. The silicon is there for wear resistance, but its toughness actually smoothes the journals of a crank whose surface hasn't been optimized! This special surface alloy is laid over a high-strength 1010 steel backing and delivers improved seizure and corrosion resistance, as well as better control of wall variance. It also helps to minimize debris embedding, which can score the crank's surface.
