    I'am Going To Build A Smooth Idle 427

    Keep in mind the goal was not to make big HP, the goal was a smooth idle with a factory 350 HP 396 cam or 427 390 HP hyd cam with the factory intake and a Q-Jet. I like it a lot.

    I'am Going To Build A Smooth Idle 427

    Thank you. My cam grinder RED LINE used a 1960s GM cam core, then I found 1970s new TRW hyd lifters because I wanted complete reliability with the factory GM lobes. I clean all cast iron In a hot tank.

    My Rear End Build For My Low Buck Street/Race Truck

    Yes, we live in Colorado right now. Your nitrous idea makes sense but, power adders is never a option in my shop ever. This truck has a story, and it started out as project for my 15 year old son to learn how too: 1. Find and buy a virgin engine old school SBC core no one would bother building...

    My Rear End Build For My Low Buck Street/Race Truck

    Thanks, gears, and rims were changed, never did get the aluminum drive shaft built yet. Converter flashes 4200 RPM, but I need around 5600 RPM. It drives just fine in town on the street and we drive it very often.

    My Rear End Build For My Low Buck Street/Race Truck

    In my opinion the truck should be raced in the 5600-7200 RPM range. I never see below 4200 RPM on the track now, thats why it isn't faster than it is.
