I reckon you and I are both old enough to know by "feel"with neither a number nor tacho but off the top of my head with your long manifolds, that thing will be over by 7500, a little over rev safe but no point unless someone will get past you going into a corner !!!Changing up for torque peaks gets you there faster in most cases, absolute top speed can be got with gearing if you need to try (dear--NGC)I bent valves on my LM in 1979 trying to find out safe limit, since then I can hit float without hurting anything but choose not to, bad day when I do that again, grunt rules.As a very famous tuner said to me recently, horsepower sells engines, torque wins races. Yours should have loads.Roll on the roll on between the 3 hot rod small blocks, much better than any dyno runs60mph, top gear, open the taps, vid essential WG viewing, sweepstake would be appropriate
Now that Chuck got the plug chop guys aroused: I'm thinking I could go one more size jet up. Not the best pics. Any thoughts?
Man, at 60 I'm in third gear....lol! Two more to go....hit 126 mph Friday morning early...I'll post up a vid this week ~; ~; ~; ~;
I could be in first, not the point, roll on at 60 in top tells all the stories, you "might" catch up but my money's on Chuck being far away.However, a good BB would already be outside the bar, owner grinning !!!
No luck here on the studs Chuck. Sorry man!!
Ha ha! No substitute for cubic inches! Yeah, and Chucks engine is a torque monster I bet....Of course I'd catch the BB when he had to stop for gas... LOLYou are right, a 60 mph roll on it is! We will see:)
Oh! Like a dummy, I forgot to check what thread it is. Is it M8X1?
I'd guess them to be M8 x 1.25This is just a thought, but maybe you would be better off using threaded rod. Good threaded rod is usually rolled thread. Cutting a thread with a die isn't optimum, especially for use in a head stud. Though, lathe cutting would be better. A threaded rod would also spread equal stress along the full length of the stud(in theory that is). I'm sure you method will work fine. Just throwing it out there as another option. The thought of it being different might bother me. :) McMaster-Carr has some at a reasonable price. Good luck.http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-threaded-rods/=wfpeww
I'll see about strapping on a camera..

Alrighty, now.. ;-T I have it at 9 seconds.. is that right? Kinda hard to see the speedo. No way do I have anywhere that I could run to top speed around here. Snow/sleet here yesterday. No telling when I can make a 60-80 run in fifth.
find one from another engine that is the right length
Torque challenge ride one. Full throttle roll on at 60 mph, in top gear. 2010 V7 Classic Quattro Valvole. 26 degrees C. 22 seconds from 60 to 120. 124 MPH top speed reached. 7200 rpm. Whoo Haa!!
Here's the formula: Torque (lb/ft) / 5252 x RPM = Horsepower.
Just throwing this out there...Anyone else have hesitation using a full threaded rod in place of a full size diameter shaft with threads cut on the ends, from a stretch standpoint? Yield to failure may not be a concern but stretch??? What say you leaned ones?
Hmm , Mwrenn will have his hotrod at Cedar Vale , Chuckie , c'mon man , the gauntlet has been tossed . Lots of room to do this thing , and we are on good terms with the local po po :D Dusty
Yikes! Just got the invoice from McMaster-Carr. Had them throw in some misc. nuts and washers. They charged me $21 shipping and fondling on a $24 order. :o
Their shipping has gone up somewhat, just like everything else, but they are still reasonable. Either they made a mistake or your order was shipped from multiple locations. They will charge you multiple shipping in that case. Check your order again.
