I wanted to mock up a head before I went any further to make sure the valves would clear on a 4.040" bore.





Got plenty of room before the valves hit the cylinder.  Valves may be a little shrouded but overall have a decent curtain.  Sooner or later I need to poop or get off the pot, been moving the goal post for a bit.

Ditching the solid roller, going hydraulic roller. 

I need to make up my mind. 

[Stangman]

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

My mind has been wasted for years. I really can't tell the difference.

I think after baseline test I would start from inside out.


Crank stays if it mics OK. New rod&main brgs.
Good rods.
Deal with cyl. walls as necessary.
Pistons to suit eventual heads.
End use cam&lifters.
New chain&sprockets
New oil pump&pickup.
Bolt on stock heads; new springs?
Test with stock intake&exhaust manifolds and ignition.
Test with end use intake&ignition, and headers.
Finally test with end use cyl. heads.
Seems like a logical progression if this is your concept.

Shot some paint on my FEPower 2-piece timing cover.  Also received my adjustable timing set from Jay yesterday. 

Ported Streetmaster from JDC came in as well.   If Joe tells me it's ok, I'll post pics.

It is OK, if you want to post pictures.  Not too many trade secrets there for money to be made by someone.  LOL.  Joe-JDC

Brent ! You should of polished that cover ! Joe I see dimples....we did this on one of my 351C's ..

[Joe-JDC]

I am doing the dimples on all my intakes, now.  I became a firm believer after dyno testing with different manifolds, vs stock out of the box.  I added the dimples, and had a stock intake to do a back to back test on the same engine, same day, within minutes of each other.  Made several dyno pulls to establish repeatability, and changed intakes, no other changes, and three more pulls to establish repeatability.  The dimpled intake increased the overall torque and overall horsepower figures a definite measurable amount.  So, I now add them.  Lots of work, but cheap torque and horsepower in the long run.  Joe-JDC

It is amassing to me that you fellows give out this kind of information for free , I  know y'all have to have thousands of hours into finding these gains , what works , what doesn't . thank you

I'm just not a polished fan.  Chrome valve covers is about as far as I'll go. 

I'm gonna try to make this one look like a box stock 1966 352 with PBF valve covers. 

[Joe-JDC]

I would have removed the Edelbrock logo, and logos at the rear of the intake if you had asked.  Paint it blue and it will look nearly stock.  Joe-JDC

When did the Streetmaster first come out?

[MeanGene]

Actually, wouldn't you want the flat top half-a-penthouse covers on a '66? My '65 352-4V has them, beige on a black block. Wouldn't the 66 be the same but in blue?
