We used a tight tapered quench area in our racing two strokes. Worked best.

"Spec" path-------- Regardless of make/brand----All specs are mandated by NASCAR. All bodies are the same except for the decals to identify the brand. All chassis are the same. All engines are the same. As an example-In ARCA all cars are full spec. In NASCAR Truck, full spec is as good as ...

If NASCAR continues down the "spec" path there will be many more empty seats.

Never said the deck was not connected to the block :shock: I said that the head bolts to the too thin deck with too small in dia bolts that go into the water jackets. I know of other engines where larger dia bolts do not go into the water jacket and they anchor into the block, not the deck. And don'...

I aim to do as you described. I have the equipment and time. I was hoping He would pay someone instead of me doing it for free. Oh well, I am OK with the deal, have to pay for my rides I suppose.

Hydraulic roller camshaft, solid roller lifters
Intake, 248* at .050", .650" lift
Exhaust, 256* at .050", .650" lift
LS 109*, 4* advance, intake at 105*

DanE1

I imagine the intake will end up with either a 1" or 2" open spacer under a Jomar Power Cone.

600 HP is his goal!
