Post subject:	Track Times?
i was sugested by ryan d covalt this setup, he sugested this should get my slant running 14's i am running a 66 wagon 3 speed on the tree it has a bone stock 1975 225 .30-.60 overbore pistons (cast or forged) mill head .100 1.78 intake valve 1.50 exhaust port head 460 lift cam (or slightly larger) offy 4brrl 600 edlebrock carb short headers msd ignition 4speed swap with o/d 8 3/4 posi track rear with 4:30 gears Good set of back tires. I know DD, and charlie_s have alot of experience in the slant racing world(i just read about DD's barracuda wreck ) would this kind of a setup get me running 14's and what if i added a 100shot of nos to this package, would i be able to get into the 13's, i know these kinda questions have been asked but no specifically with this kinda set up, thanks guys you all have been a big help edit: also i am currently work on a head from a 63 block in my auto class they have a porting machine they are getting soon so i think i might build this head and my 75 head so i have a back up and why not its free

I have an almost identical set up. I have not completely tuned it yet. See my post in the Virtual dragstrip section.

Lighten the car as much as possible. Best money spent on the engine would be to get Mike Jeffrey in Nebraska to build a head for you. That will be worth quite a bit of power and he is very reasonable for what you get. He has built the Slantzilla motors and has done a very good head for me and others. Lou

How much will it cost to have him build my head, and that will end up to be alot concidering i have to count in shipping, what i was thinking of was mill .100 off chevy 305 valves i think like 1.76 intake 1.5 exhaust 340 springs and a polish i can port the head in school so it is free isnt that about all i can do to the head?

Porting is pretty specialized. If you have some knowledgeable people around, then you should take a crack at it. Mike knows how to make 'em flow. Total head cost with parts and all labor will be in the $1000-1400 range. If you can do yours cheap, then it can't hurt to try one. Lou

would my local machine shop be able to bench flow the heads to make them the best they can be, and will this take a big dive into my wallet

Post subject:	Performance/Cost
Lou What are we talking in Net horsepower gains by letting the guy in Nebraska or wherever build the head for $1400 Just want to look at performance options and try to get the most for the least

IMHO, Mike's headwork is a great bang-for-buck, unless you know someone who will work/machine for free locally. My 66 Valiant has run high 14s on 90 octane gas with a mild/medium cam, 3.00 rear gear, and Mike's head. HP gain with his head over stock is something like 20-25% so you be the judge. You will likely not get as good a head locally, but might get it cheaper? Lou

Mike has my new head done. I am taking my present head out there for a freshen-up. It will be for sale when Mike gets it done.
