Iownastang · October 12th, 2007, 11:35 PM

im not saying im gonna do it everytime but i might sometimes and if it breaks im callin my buddies that have car haulers.But this car will be driven on the street also its not gonna be a trailor queen i would not build something that i could not drive

Speedstang302 · October 12th, 2007, 11:42 PM

no it doesnt have to be a trailor queen..you can drive it all you want on the street..but doesnt get the abuse on the street it gets at the track..thats what i mean..

Iownastang · October 12th, 2007, 11:51 PM

i know what ya mean

Speedstang302 · October 12th, 2007, 11:58 PM

i knew you know i knew!!!!

vfast · October 13th, 2007, 11:58 AM

he still doesn't know*L*..I'm betting he doesn't have a trailer yet....so the trailer option is on hold...correct?

Iownastang · October 13th, 2007, 12:10 PM

correct.i will one day but for right now i dont have one.

vfast · October 13th, 2007, 05:22 PM

so if this will see alot of street action the the solid roller isn't a real good choice.....in my 90 I got a 434 with a mild cam 686-675 for nitrous 250+ shot... it is barely tame enough but it's a play car for$$$$$$ runs

Iownastang · October 13th, 2007, 06:06 PM

a solid roller will be fine for street use,it will not be an everyday driver but will just be a play toy

everyone keeps saying this..damn...like they have to be adj all the time, ryan said he hasnt in a year..you can go along time w/out adj..

Iownastang · October 13th, 2007, 10:31 PM

+1 its not like if you drive it one time you have to adj it

vfast · October 13th, 2007, 10:42 PM

right.....it's the wear....and the high spring loads

1slo5.0 · October 13th, 2007, 11:04 PM

Solid rollers don't have to be adjusted "all the time". Spring pressures vary. Huge solid rollers require high spring pressures and you will replace springs often if you drive it often. Its doubtful you will have a solid roller that falls into this category unless you are spending big bucks on heads and compression. People run solid rollers on the street in daily drivers. Damn near every cam manufacturer makes tight lash street rollers.

HE'S BACK. man where were ya..missed ya!!!!

but yeah he plans on track w/ occasional street use..NOT EVERYDAY

86ttops · October 14th, 2007, 12:02 AM

Why a 408 why not a 418?

Speedstang302 · October 14th, 2007, 12:07 AM

cuz 408 is the popular Ci..

86ttops · October 14th, 2007, 12:09 AM

for the same money you can do 418

Speedstang302 · October 14th, 2007, 12:13 AM

doesnt matter, not a 408 builder but theres gotta be something with the clearence and issues of a 418 then..its like the 331 and 347, for same price you can have 16ci more and another 35hp or so..and w/ 5.315" rods have no wrist pin problems..

86ttops · October 14th, 2007, 12:19 AM

They have kits hith now wrist pin problems and the clearnce is not much diffrence but the 427 has a lot of clearencing

My motor in my black car was basically a 418 but it was a 4.060 bore instead of a 4.030 bore. For a street car the longer stroke is where its at. More cubes equals more low end power which is what a street car needs.
