Re: Evans Aluminum Heads
Jeep Guy: That does not surprise me at all. Once can see by looking at the amount of material they now mill from above the valves that the chambers are a lot bigger than the older "as cast"...

Re: chevy dizzy for flatheads
Hey Tom - explain to folks what you mean with the "long shaft" comment - many will have no clue as to what you can do with this and the components it allows you to use.

Re: 1940 V8 Cam / valve timing
Good perspective John!
One thing I know is that camshafts (and their specs) get a lot of folks quite confused and the only real way to become comfortable with them is to spend a bit of time with...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
If you use a larger diameter base than the original '94', you definitely need to "port" the intake and port match it to the base. Anything else causes a heck of an obstruction and bad air flow in...

Re: 1940 V8 Cam / valve timing
Okay - time to eat a bit of crow and extend the conversation and technical details a bit. A very knowledgeable friend of mine and I discussed the issue of "checking clearance".
This is...

Re: 1940 V8 Cam / valve timing
I've degreed a lot of cams . . . on flatheads, overheads, overhead cams, etc.. I'm not sure who you were talking to at the cam manufacturer, but every set of cam specs I've ever worked with specify...

Re: Evans Aluminum Heads
They look nice - can't claim to compare/contrast their performance to others (have never ran them). Nor can I comment on the quality of machining, hole placement, etc..
In the end, run what yah...

Re: Evans Aluminum Heads
Note, from what I can tell the transfer/relief area of the chambers on these new Evan's heads is much deeper than Edelbrock's are. You can see that in the pics - seems pretty obvious to me.

Re: chevy dizzy for flatheads
As the question is a bit open-ended, the answer needs to be a bit clearer.
1) 1932-1948 - Front Mounted: There is nothing wrong with the front-mounted flathead distributors (32 - 48) - as long as...

Re: Anyone have one they can measure?
If you look at an earlier oil-pan, you'll see a funny little triangular sheet metal component on the front passenger side corner of the pan. It has about a 1/4" slot that will draw combustion-gasses...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
That appears to be what came out around 1956 or 1957 - it might be the bigger Holley 2110 (maybe). I would run that carb over a stock 94 in a heartbeat - it flows about 50 more cfm and with the 276...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Exactly! I worked with Ed Isky to make two roller-cams for flatheads - back when I was in my early 20's. Then (due to not having roller lifters and no time to make them), I drug those cams around...

Re: Anyone have one they can measure?
Yes - it fits in the little recess on the intake manifold, the oil-pump stand gasket goes on top of it.
The baffle extends down and picks up a receiver area in the valley of the block - that...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Be careful when NOT using the lock plate, that the 4 cam gear bolts don't go THROUGH the back of the camshaft flange and then gall up the thrust surface on your block!
I always install the gear...

Re: Anyone have one they can measure?
I just measured one (out of the casting). It is 4.5" total length and its OD is .748 or so. It is a "split" tube, so I'm sure it was designed to expand a bit and then compress when it was knocked...

Re: Anyone have one they can measure?
Hopefully they have the necessary "baffle" that drops in the back of the manifold that this tube then runs inside of. It is very important to have the right one if you want the original breathing...

Re: Boling Brothers Brakes Question
Bottom line, the pins/spring kit you have is too high for the Wide-5 drums. If it was mine, I'd just put in shorter pins/springs and the problem should be solved.
If you can't find new springs...
