You sure can do that kind of burn out, depending on what rear end gears your running. And screw in studs he's talking about what holds your rockers. I have a nasty little small block making about 400HP and can do that in every gear. Granted I'm running 4.10's and a T350

That's what I want to hear .

I guess I'm going to need a locker? I want to do burnouts like that but with the ass draggin throwin sparks everywhere.

I need to order some push rods. I'm not sure what length? Why would you need longer than stock?

Strodder · 08-10-2009, 08:52 PM

That guy looks like he needs a sway bar, and new tires

If anything you would think shorter push rods with a high lift cam.

I love that video.

I've watched it like ten times. His front fender almost drags on the pavement.

To determine the correct length pushrods, you need to check the contact pattern of the rocker arm on the tip of the valve stem. You want the tip of the rocker to be in the center of the valve stem through out the cycle of the valve opening and closing. You also need some adjustable pushrods for checking the lengths. This is usually done on performance engines when doing what is known as "Blueprinting" an engine. With the Performer cam, there shouldn't be a reason to not just run stock length pushrods IMO.

Thanks Capt. Always wondered what blueprinting was.

watahyahknow · 08-11-2009, 08:56 AM

theres a little tool for measuring the pushrodlength you slide it in the place of the rocker untill it rests on the valvestem then you measure with an adjustable rod and have the length the new rods need to be

Did a little research. Said stock rods would work with those heads S/r means stock replacement. Edelbrock said use 7.8" rods I don't know if those were stock or not. Got them coming from summit.

Parts fairy just brought me a big o step notch.

Just buds.

Economy here sucks I was thinking about moving to Mendocino.

This notch welds together to slip over the frame right?

That's what I'm doing. I knew you'd help. I figured it out after I messed with it for a bit. I was pretty sure it slids over the frame.

Kills me not even a picture. I'm good with pictures. Got bored took my bumper off beat the big dent out that I put in it towing it home. Freeway off ramp at 65, old lady pulling me, no brakes ,but that's another story. Z'ed my bumper mount lowered it 1 1/2" . Filled in the holes.

Ya it's level.

It's just the angle. Really, I cut it off once already.

daverod · 08-12-2009, 08:46 AM

Is it just me or does this look wrong. There's no reason to put one side on backwards is there?

That's called ART.

Like this one.

daverod · 08-12-2009, 09:37 AM

I thought maybe there was a reason. Art hmm. Here I thought it was just stupidty.

I'm glad I did'nt buy the bolt on kind that would have way to easy.

ruffrida2005 · 08-12-2009, 01:58 PM

You welded them in right. Are those the ones from SD? The frames from 63-72 are made the same way with the frame sucking after the axle. Some people make their own and make it straight.
