FE Technical Forum / Re: High port TF FE heads?--pondering
« on: July 11, 2018, 07:11:23 AM »
I have always wondered why my Dove hi risers were filled at the top, story was it was done on purpose by one of the "bigs", flowed 385, made 785 hp on a 505, and ran high 9's in a Comet. They are cut for T&D's, and came with special head studs for them, and the material left after the T&D cut is very thin, with epoxy fill below, seeming to lower the roof- doesn't make sense to me, other than trying to get a gasket seal, but I would think one could seal it up against the T&D plate at the top? I recently picked up a set of T&Ds but haven't had time to set the plates on the heads for a looksee. Haven't looked at them in a while, maybe they need to go visit the Capt for a looksee/ rethink. They were run on methanol, and looks like the "right" dumdum for meth was not used, as some has eroded anyway. Plan was to run them with my 2-5/8 Kinsler 351C sprint car injectors with a custom-fit Jay-plate when the ports are finished

Thanks- yep, trying to get a handle on them, "Image is a representation of this item.
Actual item may vary." lol.. Appears to show a groove machined near the bottom, is that how they work, spit a bit of oil from the groove? No actual pressure feed like an EDM hole? or is the picture wrong? They are not that much more expensive than the std ones

FE Technical Forum / Favorite hydraulics?
« on: July 01, 2018, 01:21:35 AM »I haven't used any juice flat tappets in a long time, but need a set for a budget 428 for my Highboy. Already have a new 268H, and a take-off set of springs from Ebock heads. Looking at the Crower Camsavers, but probably not necessary. Anybody use the Summit house-brand lifters? Regular Crowers or Lunatis maybe...

Main market for those things is where they came from, medium truck and industrial use. Still a few trucks running around with them, probably more industrial stuff. My neighbor's shop builds all the FTs for the frost protection wind machines in the valley, so he's always looking for 361-391 cores, but value is not high. He also converts them to propane, the kits aren't expensive. I would put them on cl and see if you get any bites, keep renewing the ad

Vendor Classifieds / Ah, sand...
« on: May 30, 2018, 08:43:08 AM »
Many types and specifications of sand- mason sand for masonry use, utility sand (insert PG&E or your local provider) for bedding and backfilling underground conduits, fill sand, a little chunky for general construction fill etc. Clay content is touchy, it helps as a binder to hold the sand in shape, but it is also highly expansive, so too little and the sand won't hold shape, too much and it expands when wet and shrinks as it dries- a fine line to walk

How thick will the plastic be? I would be interested in a set for my test stand, to monitor oiling, but would think moisture would cloud them up. Should be simple to tap in a couple fittings to pull a little vacuum to remove the moisture? What will they sell for?

Where are you located? I might be interested, just to have original stuff for mine. I have a nice T10 with a Hurst shifter, and a Gal shifter, original bell to the car etc, but yours is pretty complete. I have lots of trading material, including a 64 Gal toploader
