I am in assembly mode of a 351c that is using an arao engineering 32valve head setup (4 valve per cyinder that is beefed up for HIGH rpm (9000rpm+) similar to Yates ports (roller setup) Billet Alum. Hemi head (plugs from top thru valve cover)
Valve cover are like old Motorsports, they
bolt to head right thru valve cover and in turn stiffens entire valve train...
I had special ross pistons made w/ 4 valve relief (dome top) creating 10.75:1 compress.
Manley raceing valves will rounded bottoms NOT flat on bottom of valve (single groove)
bronze guides
Double springs (custom tension)
Cloyes raceing timeimg chain for Mike
Fielders of Austraila
Cross Ram intake w/ 8 individual runners and direct port injection (not throotle bodies)
(also for Mike Fielder's) (custom) polished aluminium
Two brushed aluminium plenuem box's are being contructed to fit over each side of 4 runners th box will contain a K&N air filter and also be used as pressuration box's for the (ram air) elephant ear's to be ducted to...
I'm going to use a F.A.S.T. fuel injection system on my pantera... (over haltech etc...)
The F.A.S.T. computer has what's called a wide band oxygen sensor... so not only will it adjust computer settings between 0-2000rpm but will adjust 0-10,000rpm.... it also can do sequential fuel injection NOT (bank to bank) or (batch fire). Plus it has an EDIST which will allow me to go distributorless and go coil on plug controller by computer...the coil on plug will NOT be wasted spark...we are using aftermarket coil packs (hotter)...
We are also putting on a 4 segment crank trigger to advance timing... but may use a stub shaft in the distributor hole...
Computer will also have an Iyac (misspelled)
but anyway thru the use of 8 individual vaccum tubes it will read manifold vaccum and adjust idle accordingly automaticly thru computer... (better smoother idle)
stoch. ratio adjustments all adjust by labtop
Obviously I will use top of the line plug wires (custom made) hemi style boot
and good plug's Boosch platinium 4 (maybe)
all fuel lines will be ran new and aeromotive fuel pumps and filters etc...
The block has oiling mods on it and is a four bolt main... it's an old HO block which was picked up as a left over from a ford race program... It is bored .035 over (block has been ultrasounded and still in great condition plently of meat(yes .035 on a clevland NOT windsor) speacial HO block also has a higher nickel content in metal...
Roller Cam specs have been developed on a cumputer using desk top dyno for max HP and torque. (800+hp 800+ftlbs torque @ 6500 rpm)
(about 300+hp 400ft lbs torque @ 2000rpm)
Avaid 10 quart oil pan with 4 gates for track racing and baffles plus a crank scrapper
Melling HV oil pump
Red line oil will probably be used
Water oil cooler (fluidyne)(to be mounted in rear passenger wheel well)
Edelbrock victor series water pump (alum)
Laydown fluidyne radiator w/ 2 temp sensors that will be automatied and tied into the
192 degree water temp sensor in block...
this system will be connected to 2 permafrost cooling fans that will be setup to come on upon temperature rise, then a second fan to turn on upon the temp nearing 192 degree's (probably at 180 degree's)
the order of which fan will come on first will be automatically decided by which fan has less run time on it... this will allow for even wear over this cascading fan system.
A Revson front air scoop has been added and 2 hood louvers. to allow max air flow
Water wetter will be added...
