Raceday is right. Much more pressure at the rear of the hood. And yes the wind tunnels have shown us that the more speed the higher the air travels OVER the hood.
But The fan should still do it very well.
AK thats exactly what popped into my head! A shaker cowl...hmm! The forward scoop would be better yes but I never did care for them. I have a large cowl on one of my race cars and on my 69 camaro and on the 72 chevy. I could cut up a composite cowl hood from about anything( I have one laying...
First let me say....VERY NICE!
You have given me some ideas and I will run with them! I had an air to air brought to me a few days ago that would be perfect for this! Even bought it for $0.56 a pound!
I was planning a cowl hood anyway but now instead of giving 400+ for one I will be building...
I had an 8.2 Detroit once with dual thermostats and had nothing but trouble so I for sure believe ya there! So just use the water pump and fan?
Is there any other goodies that would be better from the 98 model than my 95?
Hey y'all I know its been a while! Living issues and just extremely busy for a while has kept me away. I work a full time job and have a side business and after all that every day I work til 11,12,or1 am every night on the race cars! Building one new from scratch. Anyway I am finally getting the...
My brothers 01 max has a few issues! First we had to drop in a new transfer due to a wiped pump! Imagine that right! Well he is far from a mechanic like me. And he doen some stuff his self and I had to come and finish. He drove it last night and when it hit 40 it dropped into lymp and (Im not...
Not meaning to high jack But I have a question about this. I already have a downpipe and I dont want a muffler. Do you have any kind of setup I can use with what I have? Would really like to buy from you. Really love the boost bolt and I have had it with the new york rip-off.
I know nobody will believe some of this But I welcome anybody to ride along and see! most of our trucks get 18-23. But.....Dads 6.2 in his 72 with a 4-speed gets 25-28. And here is the crazy one!....I have the very tall 69 chev on 44" swampers and 4-speed and 4.10s. It gets 28....cool huh...
^^^^got that right! I was glad it wasn't race gas! That stuff is mean on things..Rubber especially! The alcohol I use in my mod is even meaner to the fuel system and the engine. I have to fog it like a boat motor!
I think you made the right choice. Rebuilding it means not having to worry about...
Went and looked today.....and it made for a bad day. Its at my other shop. At the other shop there is 4 projects outside. One being the 69 along with a 77 black Trans Am SE(Bandit), an 83 Toyota 4WD with a small block chevy, and my 66 short bed Chevy race themed truck. The local thief has hit me...
Thanks to another thread here I am wanting to twin turbo my 6.2 in the 69. So motor will come out after header mock up. studs, crank,Kings bearings. I have many sets of precups. Gonna leave one set of diamonds alone. and cut 2 more sets. after fine tuning and all the bugs worked out it would be...
Gonna go look at my truck today and see how much room I have where the exhaust ports meet the top of frame rail. The chassis is 87. Truck is 69! Only problem I see so far is flanges at the head. Anyone know where to find them? Oh wait! LiGHT BULB! Local school has cnc plasma cutter I have access...
More projects than time! But winter is here and that frees up a lot of time! My actual job is a paving and sealcoating business with my dad and a Bike shop I operate part time! Plus most extra time in summer is spent racing.
