well having my engine out for some time now and finding lots of internal problems that i didnt know about, my new engine builder is quick to find these problems before he put it back together, mains were to tight, bearing were showing lot of wear,retofit for hy roller was not working the spider's were catching on lifters and holding them up, so he has to find something else to work, or differant ones, when i changed over to c-4 from fmx i had a bad vibration at low speed, so he had to rebalance the bottom half because of external balance engine when it was new, differant flywheel was the blame, my old sr heads were crap, very poorly ported, bad valve job, but its moving along nice now should be a great street car now, new parts are roush 200 cast heads with flows [email protected] 245.5, .ex 179.2,.600 .in 262.7, .ex 185.4, .700 .in 266, .ex 190, int port 206, chamber67.5, 10.1 comp ratio,comp cam hy roller 288-293-236-242-555-576-108, vic jr manifold, 750HP, 1\3\4 comps, hoping this time for some real hp numbers and torque, old numbers were 400 flywheel and 380 ft lbs !3100. keep you posted when i get it running.
