The Jalopy Journal
I'm really starting to believe that they might not have a hot tank but I could be wrong. Maybe they heat up the block in a oven and then pressure...
And that is what I have been thinking about all along. I thought well maybe they would give me the build sheet afterwards but we have yet to come...
I'm seriously contemplating a change in direction. I did buy the Wisecos needed for the build but I am now considering a roller block. I found...
Sounds like a win win. -Mark
Thank you sir, might have to start taking a few strolls through the junkyards locally.
I’ve heard both positive and negative things about BP engines. How did yours hold up?
Understood. Thank you
Thank you for the sound advice.and I get what you are saying. I never knew those parts were interchangeable from the 289 to the 5.0 That would...
Yes sir I forgot to mention that I had a 2M/302 crank that I picked up a few years ago. Mark
Well you were pretty much on track. I just thought that the 289 if it was buildable, I picked it up locked up for a $100 with some other parts. I...
I'm gonna message him to see if he has the heads to go with it...thanks
Thank you sir for the advice. -Mark
So the E7TE heads with a little work will be better than the stock 289's worked a little as well? I want something just like that boulevard...
I was thinking about these or some AFR 185's. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/flk-185-505
That's what I did. Got the 5.090 Scat rods from Summit with the main & rod Clevite bearing set. Then a set of flat top/w molly rings 0.40 - 302...
Thanks for the tip. Right now with the C4 I have my car does not have the OEM linkage (cable operated B&M) shifter. I will look for that boss on...
Yes sir, I am with you on the stroker kit. I will build one in the future for sure. I have a couple of extra carbs laying around so a 500CFM or...
That in a nutshell is correct! Found some with the CH 1.608 and after calculating I need to be 1.616 to be dead on. Which may mean I might need...
Sounds like they are the long skirts.
I thought it would be simple enough, grab 302 rods and pistons and go but with all these headaches I might just give up. :D I guess I could always...
Well called the machine shop and they said they could locate something and call me back. I will follow up tomorrow and see what they come up with...
Well that is what I am hoping to do but it's my first complete engine build and I am trying to figure it out as I go. I do have several 289...
I have heard the same as well. I have a 69' 302 block and I need to measure the cylinder walls on each block. I will let you know what I come up...
The ones you bought are they the long skirt pistons or the short ones? Would you happen to have the part number? Thanks, Mark
Found these using your formula...after subtracting from the deck height came up with 0.008 - Need to find what cc for the heads would work best...
Thank you sir. I'm definitely going to build a stroker in the future.
Ok will do. Seems like the technical support line at Summit is hit and miss because not one agent has mentioned that before or has gotten that...
Yes sir because the crankshaft is a 302/2M crank which is why I need the shorter 5.090 rod. The 289 @ 0.40 over will have the displacement at 308....
Ye sir I have already found a set of Scat rods at 5.090 so I'm good there...
