I shoulda seen that one comin Matt it's hard to say at this point, 3 weeks maybe...all my attention is on the Mav and being ready for the Roundup right now. A few words of wisdom, there are 3 other Dart 351w bolcks in this shop being built right now, my SVO block required less prep work and has had no clearance issues like the Darts... All ya hear about is how great a Dart block is, well in this case the Ford block has been better from the builders viewpoint. I will get some pics of the lower half tomorrow and see if I can mock it up with the intake and carb, I think it will look pretty impressive with the Super Victor and carb on it.
As requested, we are waiting on pushrods to button it up, I mocked it up, we might have this thing in a vehicle this coming weekend
LOOKING SWEET Rick!! I hope the motor runs better then you hope it will All the trouble we go to for our cars... we are all sick! Good luck and keep the pix coming. Bossmav
We ended up being able to use the Comp pro magnum rockers, we slightly notched the backside of the fulcrum and the rods clear fine now. We are port matching the intake now, after that, it is ready to go. The vehicle should be ready Saturday too...Hmmm, I love it when a plan comes together.
Ever ran the pin in the oil ring before? Very nice piston I just liked the coated mahle better 423 grams 1.5mm ring. Don't have to pin oil ring. Not doggin the motor, it looks bad a** and it will haul I'm sure!! You got a 2inch header for those heads?
I don't believe Mahle makes a piston for a Twisted Wedge head, the CP piston is made specifically for a TFS "R" series head and can handle 15-1 comp ratio., the headers are step 2" to 2-1/4" to 4" collector.
AH, that may be , I will close my mouth now. I wish I had that much room, 1 3/4 all I can have on my Canfields.
