Re: [Chevelle-list] Vortec heads
Mine is a 6 inch rod with KB hypereutectic pistone and S/R torque big valve heads that were pocket ported. It snaps when you punch it! This things I learned was to buy the heads complete other than bare castings and get a good machineist. Mine put it together with a nitrided crank and the shortie pistons are in with .001 bore clearance.. That is nominal with the high silicon based pistons. hope this helps. mike f texas --- Gene's General Restoration Parts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I have always heard that big valves really only > help over 6000 RPM or so, > if this is a street engine and the old valves are > still servicable I would > stick to them.

[Chevelle-list] Tall Big Block Valve Covers and other
Looking for tall aluminum valve covers without writing on the face. Does anyone have a pair to sell. Doesn't need to be show quality just w/o cracks or dents. My composite VCs are just wore out. Also, does anyone have a feel for the value of a factory 65' SB cast four barrel manifold pn 3844457, and a stock AC 4 barrel air cleaner (straight but w/ some rust). Larry Williams 65 SS 427
[Chevelle-list] carter AFB
Hay guys. I just bought a 350 375 horse engine for my 65 chevelle to replace the mild 283. anyway, it came with a carter afb with 125 jets. and a set of 65 holley jets. i have the duel line holley that came on the 283 that i think i'll put on the 350. what is this carter worth? It looks real good shiny and everything seems to be there.any ideas or offers ? let me know. It was not installed when i got it,just in a box Bob 64 and 65 SS Chevelle's

Re: [Chevelle-list] Vortec heads
Thanks to everyone for the information. I am sure I will have many more questions as I build this engine. I have rebuilt hundreds of engines, but the last time I tried to BUILD an engine was in '82. It seems that things have changed a lot since then (many, many, many more options!) Thanks again, Keith

I have one of those videos.. It was in a 911. Pretty cool.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Vortec heads
Hi, The number one thing key to compression is quench hieght being around .040. so the block has to be milled if need be. Flat tops with a small chamber is much better than big chambers and dooms. My pistons are the KB single groove hyper flat tops. Second the aluminum allows more compression (or needs more compression to make up for lost thermal efficancy...depending on how you look at it) and the longer rods are suppose to help too. I have had these same heads on a couple different engines and have used two different sets of headers and even ported cast manifolds and have not had a problem with the angle plugs, although a couple are kinda close on their present combo. I have also ran a Holley Street Dominator II dual plane (patterned after the LT-1 from early 70's) with them and the Torker breathes much better, or at least doesn't lose bottom end. I know current vogue is dual planes, an open plan (conservitivly sized) is going to run better numbers. Not sure what my curve is but I have always believed that a more efficiant engine won't need alot of advance. I run the best pump gas I can get locally. The Edlebrock heads are also a good choice but why go with heavy hydraulic rollers? Seems like for the money a solid roller would make more power? Gene - Original Message - From: "Clint Hooper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "The Chevelle Mailing List" Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 9:22 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Vortec heads I looked hard at a pair of L98 Vette heads for my car. However,they have such small 58cc chambers that keeping the compression under control (and the attendant detonation problems) as well as their angle-plugs sometimes requiring new headers,sent me off in another direction. A good dual plane intake like an Edelbrock Performer RPM/AirGap or Weiand Stealth will make a bunch more low & midrange torque than a Torker II and will probably outpower it on top end,too. What kind of advance curve and fuel do you run in that 383,Gene? Any problems keeping it from rattling on pump gas? What gearing are you running? I'm trying to buy a pair of mildly-reworked Edelbrock Performer RPM heads and a LPE hydraulic roller set-up for my 350 now.

Spend the money in other areas. A fast responding engine is better on the street. My 383 is running the early 90's vette aluminum heads with the stock valves and it runs great. Of course compression on the high end of 11:1 (keep that quench hieght tight!) helps along with six inch rods. The vette heads are nice because they will take a regular intake, and for my money a Torker 2 and a dialed in Carter AFB is better than a dual plane any day. I am planning my next 388 (.060 over block) around 5.7 rods and vortec's which will be small valved with .100 longer stems for added lift capability. It won't be as built as the aluminum head engine, so if it puts out 400 HP I will be happy with it, dual plane and all... Just my 2 cents... Gene
Re: [Chevelle-list] carter AFB
Tell me the difference. I'm new at the engine /restore game. ive been told carters are no good and the holleys are no good. I just want the most bang for my buck!! this motor ive got is at least 375 horse maybe more. the guy that built it works for a motor building co. in Okla. City and guarantys 375, with headers and the holley. I dont know anything about setting up a carb. tell me the diff. I'm not set in stone as to what to do. thanks ,i mean it !!

Re: [Chevelle-list] Vortec heads
As you mentioned,Gene,a Holley Street Dominator is basically 70's technology. Edelbrock's Performer RPM and Air Gap dual planes will outperform a Victor single plane up to around 7,000 rpm. One of these dual planes would be a very good match for your L98 heads. Just curious but what kind of cam & valvetrain are you running? What kind of revs are you spinning the motor to? Running solid rollers on a pure street car is just asking for trouble. I'm not going to spin my 350 high enough to need them and the need to pull the intake to inspect them for excessive wear every 3-5000 miles isn't worth it to me. With a good matched valvetrain,hydraulic rollers will work very well up to 6,000 rpm or so. That's all my engine combination requires for a daily driver. FWIW,I would be more inclined to run solid flat tappet lifters before solid rollers because I know they would be more reliable. If the hydraulic lifter quality nowadays wasn't so hit & miss,I would definitely prefer them. If the cam deal I'm working on falls through,a Comp or Lunati hyd flat tappet cam will probably be bought.
