    383 Victor Dominator Intake?

    What do you think? I've never gotten to run it on the dyno. Modified 383 Victor and modified HVH 4500 to 4150 2" Spacer. Before & After

    Porting the Mopar Performance 452 aluminum head.

    We got our hands on a pair of MP 452 heads. The same ports as the Edelbrock RPM head but with a straight sparkplug thread. The plug thread protrusion is shifted over towards the intake valve and shrouds the flow a little. But still a nice head. These are the flows we got using the stock 440 port...

    906 heads, 280 cfm @ .500" lift

    The 906 intake port. Sometimes you make something pretty and nobody ever calls you back to say how it runs. I think these were supposed to go on a '70 Road Runner. The 906 up against the best OOTB RPM I ever tested. The RPM flows are from 5 or 6 years ago and flowed very near their advertised...

    The slug 400 on the dyno.

    Understand from the get-go, this isn't a high performance 400 B engine build. This is what the customer wanted for his '72 Dodge pickup. Lots of things could have been done differently. But with the instructions, "My employees will be driving this truck, I don't want anything wild," we settled...

    On the dyno, ported intake manifolds.....RPM 440 vs Victor 440

    What if I'm going to race my 500" 440 on the circuit or dragstrip and run it on the street, which manifold do I use, the RPM or Victor? Well, what rpm are you leaving the line or pulling the corners? Because if you're lugging the engine you aren't racing! Horsepower is what makes a car fast...

    Boost! We don' need no stinkin' boost!

    I tried to tell Cody, boost is for them that's too short in their seat. But noooo, he's gotta go and do that. Twin turbos........

    Air cleaner clearance...raise the drawbridge or lower the river?

    Seems someone is always looking for air cleaner clearance. One solution I seldom see mentioned is to raise the body of the car away from the engine. It is easily done by placing spacers of the needed distance between the k-member and the unibody. I've seen it done and is un-noticeable with a...

    The Edelbrock Foundry, when did San Jacinto, CA become "overseas"?

    Keep hearing Edelbrock gets overseas castings and machines them in the U.S.A. Has China or somebody purchased the city of San Jacinto? Maybe they moved BOTH of Edelbrock's California foundries overseas. Which country did they move them to? Vic, say it isn't so!

    The DYNO, it WORKS! 383 test mule pulls a load.

    After the SuperFlow 901 setting in the corner for some five years, it's finally up and running. Made a pull on a stock '71 cast crank 2bbl 383 using a '69 4bbl intake and an 850 Mighty Demon carb (yeah, yeah, I know, but it is the only stuff we had laying around). 318 lb-ft and 266 hp.
