Always like those steel motor builds.

Wow that's a stout piece! Very cool!!!

Cool build man

Thanks guys I just copied my post from the other site. This is what the motor did right after I built it in early '08. I went back earlier this year to try to get a little more but wasnt able to find much. I tryed using 1.8 rockers and it lost power, the cam was installed on a 106 intake centerline changed that to 110 with the help of a Cam Research adjustable timing system and gained approx 30 lbs of torque all the way across the board but lost about 10 - 15 horspower at peak. I also had a 1050 old style dommy on it and upgraded to the 1250 hp. Also I did a leak down test when i finished the '08 season and everthing was in good shape so i didnt re-ring or bearing the motor.

Thats an Awsome Build for all Iron, especially for the cubes your running !! I like it ! Nasty

Impressive build

just shows you that IF you have a set of those iron heads...really is no need or cost wise to buy the tfs heat,p51,edels,etc, unless you are stepping up to the a-460, or c's and up. imho

Hey Damon !! I know there cant be water in that toilet bowl in your Avatar ! You've been drinking out of it now to many years ... I think Tracy put some Margi in there and your not sharing !!

JM I hate to disagree but Iron heads are ok if that is all you have or have to run them BUT in the end to get this out of them I spent alot of money actully more than aluminum scj's would've cost and I honestly believe that the tfs streets, scj aluminums, or p-51's if ported correctly can make more power than my iron cj's.

Thank you to everyone for the compliments.

wow very impressive ....... cool deal

thank you bruno

Todd I'd agree with that 100%, the money spent on the iron stuff is worth it only if class rules mandate it.

any flow numbers availible for he iron heads? I will be refreshing my motor over the winter.I run iron heads presently. Budget will not permit a head swap and was wondering what could be acheived from the iron head

I am running 5.8's through the 1/8 @ 3100 lb. with a home ported set. Maybe someone will check the Wallace calculator and report what the hp would be.
