Re: Let's build a drag race 8BA engine

Re: Let's build a drag race 8BA engine
14 to 1 CR on a Flathead ??? Dream on pal. Show us how you did it if it's true, which it ain't. Even if you welded the combustion chamber, the valves still have to have somewhere to go at cam lift....

Re: Let's build a drag race 8BA engine

Re: Let's build a drag race 8BA engine
You can purchase a very simple main cap support from Speedway Motors, I'd also install ARP rod nutz too. Install a cam with at least 400" lift, Isky 4 00Jr. or Potvin 425 are some good choice. Ues,...
