    Engine Space

    I would bet dollars to donuts that your engine isnt sitting back too far, yet instead your fan spacer is shorter than usual, it looks like a stock Ford spacer that someone cut to shorten :shrug:

    Quick starting remedies!

    They sell phenolic spacers at Summit, Jegs and some parts stores. If you want wood then you would have to make. Ive been told wood works very well.

    Engine Space

    Like blue66tang said it all depends on the combo. The real question should be how much space is too far away. Did you measure yours? If so what is it?

    Friggin' UPS... What to do?

    I have had this happen also, try going through the UPS store you used, and if all else fails file a claim with UPS themselves. They do screw up once and a while, but i have found they are usually very good about correcting the mistake. Good Luck :nice:

    My new engine is a dog!!

    Well........... I did some more tuning, and it is running better now, not the best but it is good enough for me. I took it out on the highway for the first time and man does it scream in the upper rpm's. I was cruising at about 55 and hit the gas and before i knew it i was up at 100 and still...

    My new engine is a dog!!

    The specs on that Edelbrock Performer cam only give you the .050 timing and using those numbers the valve overlap figures out to 15 degrees. I know you said SAE timing was more accurate, so how would the 15 degrees at .050 relate to the SAE number for overlap?

    My new engine is a dog!!

    rbohm.... how low do you think i could go on the valve overlap to help gain some power back, but not too low that it would cause problems with even a low compression engine like mine and not allow me to run regular pump gas, the cheap stuff 87 octane with pinging? Thanks again :nice:

    Can you recommend a cam that has less valve overlap than my current cam, closer to say 30 degrees? And still has good performance, mostly bottom end/midrange torque. Thanks :)

    My new engine is a dog!!

    If i do decide to do that, do you think my carb would be enough?

    My new engine is a dog!!

    How much do you think it would raise my compression ratio if i had that done? And would it be cost effcient to do so? Or would getting a different cam, like the ones i posted earlier be cheaper?

    My new engine is a dog!!

    What about the 260H? It also says the 268H would work, how much diff. is there between the two? It says they work well with engines that make 8:1 to 9:1 compression :shrug:

    My new engine is a dog!!

    What is the most you can have the heads milled before running into issues with the intake not lining up? .040? what about thinner head gaskets also?
