First kill!

Yeah, they're ported, polished and roller rockers. This was the ultimate head for a Windsor, that is until the aftermarket started making good heads for the Windsor's. It's old school!

He has about two rows of them and one that is only half... never figured that one out.

WWII fighter pilots could share a kill, hence half a victory mark. HTH...Mark M

Which way did you have to go with the jetting? Up or down? Remember, the CFM rating is for air, not fuel. You jet the carb to match fuel to amout of air being moved through the carb. The 600 may be correct for an application where it is getting its air from under the hood only. If your running a scoop that is sealed to the top of the carb, then a 600 may be too small. I'm running a 306 (302 .030 over) 10.0:1 compression, 351W heads with roller rockers, Torker II intake, and a Comp Cams 298/306 duration cam, and a Holley 750 HP double pumper, that is just right. Only difference is I use a

1" spacer between carb and intake which puts the top of the carb right at the bottom of the hood. I also made an air box that sits on top of the carb that seals the carb to the hood, so all air is gotten from the hood scoop. The car ran a 12.714 @ 108 mph.

It's more like 10%. But the difference doesn't amount to a whole lot. In my application, I run 1 7/8" long tube open headers, with an evacuation system welded in at the collectors.

Ok, ya gotta get better with the sarcasm or I gotta get better at spotting it.

Down, not enough O2 in the air to support more fuel.

Remember, the CFM

It is, no scoop. Just look at my website

I've got a 1" 4-holer.

10%. I guess after drivetrain losses through an FMX it really wouldn't.

Either That or one hit him first then the second ran him over finishing the job?

Went back and ran the math again. A 398 CID engine (rounded to the nearest CI) running at 90% VE and a max of 6000rpm's needs 553cfm. Even at 100% VE it needs just 691cfm. I'll never run it to 6000 rpm. Probably a max in the

5200 range. That needs even less. 479cfm at 90% VE and 599cfm @ 100% VE. I have 1cfm to spare even at perfect volumetric efficiency ;)

For your application, that should be about right. I'm running more cam, and higher rpms (7000). Basically on my car, the scoop is sealed to the carb, which is forcing air down the carb at the higher mph (past 1/8 mile). Let me know how you do if you ever get it to the track.

Gary

The only good thing about this is they can't figure out which vehicle caused the death and thus no charges can be brought (assuming the first vehicle wasn't breaking the law).

K.

No no... harder to tell which blow was fatal if two vehicles struck the same person. I speak from experience, sadly.

OUCH! I'm hurt. And here I thought you loved me.

Actually, my statement didn't include INTENTIONAL harm to others or foul on either driver's part. Let me explain. When I was 8 months pregnant, I was leaving a friend's house at 2:30 AM to meet my man, who was doing an off-duty detail. I was having an ice cream craving. I was on the highway, for ONCE actually going the speed limit (okay, it was 55 and I was doing 57). It was dark. No street lights as this wasn't a heavily populated area. I'm looking directly ahead of me, waiting for the 7-11 sign at the top of the hill so I know I'm almost there. A man walked out in front of my car. I had an entire 1 second to react. I hit my brakes and then him. He went up and over, I went to the right and off the road. I immediately got out, called 911 on the cell phone. I tried to call to him, started to walk to him when I saw another car's headlights in the distance. I told the dispatcher I needed to get him out of the road. She said not to as I would probably be hit too. He was obviously not feeling any pain since he wasn't conscious. I saw the car coming and I said they're going to hit him. She told me not to look. I didn't. But I heard it. Sure enough that big white Dodge pickup hit him and went right over his head. That's a sound I'll never forget. But once they looked back and realized what they had hit, they ACCELERATED and left the scene. They didn't bother to stop. Unlike the other 4 cars that came after and hit him too. Apparently the 6th vehicle had flares.

I went to the hospital in the back of the ambulance, he went in a body bag. Highway Patrol came to the hospital to get my sworn statement. After all the investigations were done, I wasn't charged with anything as A, I obviously wasn't under the influence of drugs or alcohol. B, I wasn't driving recklessly. C, by the marks from me hitting the brakes and where I ended up I was obviously very truthful in what happened and D, the guy's blood alcohol level was far beyond what they consider functioning. The THI actually told me she was thinking, based on what I told her and how things transpired, that he was possibly trying to commit suicide (which is what the kid who walked out in front of my uncle did). He never even LOOKED in my direction. He was wearing dark clothes, with no lights aside from mine so there was no way I could see him until it was too late.

Highway Patrol did look for the white truck but never found it.

She told me, since it couldn't be proven which vehicle between me and the truck that dealt the final blow, charges couldn't be brought. She also said that it was just something unfortunate that happened and I obviously hadn't done anything wrong that charges wouldn't have been brought against me anyway.

So there was my point.

K.

Yeah, D00E _were_ awesome heads for stock valve and port size until the aftermarkets came along. I had a ported and polished set of 289 Hi-PO's with chevy valves on my 79 5.0, compression was about 10:1 with 1.94/1.6 valves and it made lots of power.
