Got it. Already have it to the builder. Can you recommend a trans cooler?

Maybe I'll start a thread on that....

 

I just notice this thread now i do not come on here as much as i used to. I will give you my personell take on this since i built and had my hands on some of the faster na c4s on this site. My old 434 in my vete went as fast as 10.27 with a set of brodix cnc track1s that flowed 310 cfm. my 355 went as fast as 10.79 with a set of mildly touched up afr 195s that probally go 280 cfm. and my 67 camaro with a 430 with a set of dart ported 215s that went 307 cfm have allready went 9.97. If you would have asked me 10 years ago what head was the best i would have said afr hands down, but over time i proved each head is very good from all three companys if they flow the number which in this case 300+ cfm. i do think the afr claims are a little inflated tho. Out of the box the afr are probally a little better. but a lot of these bigger engine bulder will buy the brodix and dart heads bare for 550-600 pair. And do some work to them to make the number they need to achieve. So in the end they are as good or better than the afrs are, and they put more money in their own pocket, since they did there own work instead of paying somebody to do it for them. i personally have no preference i can take any of the above mentioned heads and make them work as PROVEN IN MY ABOVE COMBOS.

 

JSUP Do you think you will make it to carlisle with this new motor? Me and jim (85vet) will be there also and jim is thinking about putting his on the dyno this year too. It would be neat to see what your 427 makes to his warmed over 383. let us know?

 

Is that 232/238 cam an off the shelf cam? Curious as to whom makes it and what is the lift and lobe seperation?

 

It will be a custom grind from a respected local cam grinder. Separation will most likely be 112*.....unless something changes by Tuesday.

 

I wish. Doesn't look good. By Labor Day I should be up and running.

I tried, but I started it too late. I should have started it sooner.

 

Thanks for the insight.....note no comments by the peanut gallery. Blasphemy....outright blasphemy.

 

Didnt think it would be running in 30 days. That seems kinda quick.

I think I am going with a custom cam as well. One that will work with my punny 195cc heads!

 

The only issue is that the new shop isn't done yet, to pull the motor. They are two weeks behind. This is the first job in the new shop. If I wanted to pull my own motor, it would be done. Not something I have time for.

 

Good to hear from you Corky !!

Are you still running the MAF or did you swap it out back when Jesse did his too ?

 

Todd i do not mess with what works, I still use my stock maf and stock 85 computer,By the way how is that larger stroker motor coming? Are you still over in ohio?

 

I thought you were still running it.... I will be too on both the ecm and stock maf.

Still in Ohio, but getting transferred soon....

The motor is done, have to buy a few more odds & ends before putting it in..... but I have a shoulder injury at the moment, so just waiting to get healthy... hard to get any work done in the garage when every freakn move is painful.

btw, one of the things I need is an oil pan..... you have any recommendations, I used to have a miloden 6 qt that worked great with the C4's, but I don't even remember the part # for it.....

I went with the Kevko. Milodon didn't have a RH dipstick stroker pan. Kevko custom made me a pan. $214 for the pan. $40 for the pickup, and a couple bucks for the dipstick. It's on its way, so I haven't seen the finished product to comment.

 

those pans look pretty nice and seems like a nice price. some of those look like my canton pan but cheaper price is nicer

 

The Canton pans are nearly $400 with a pickup. All the thing does is hold oil. I couldn't see it.

At just over $200, I couldn't see NOT buying it.

It's direct from the manufacturer and each pan is custom built.

Has oil temp provision and everything.

So, won't know till I get it, but I'll let you know.

I got the 1091 RR, 7 quart, same depth as stock, baffled pan.

 

The only one that i know will work, would be the moroso kicked out pan, clears everytime up to 4 inch cranks. Any of the others i do not know of 1st hand expierience

 

The Kevko is a nice pan. I installed one this past year and it is the first time I have no leaks.

The only thing you have to watch - is if the dipstick will actually hit oil. Their setup is a little different and they have metal covering the area that the dipstick would normally access the oil. They do have a hole cut out but my dipstick hit metal and I had to enlarge it for the dipstick to work.

 

He told me that so I just purchased one of his dipsticks.

 

my stock dipstick barely touches oil. i got my pan new but off a person who bought it and never used it so i got it for a good price...else i couldnt see spending that much for a pan

 

So it's decent quality I expect? What do you think? Everything I read on them seemed decent.
