Only if you are running a loose impellor. If you are running an A2 or something, you'll probably slow it down. Increased flow helps at the upper RPM, hurts at the lower RPM. So, depending on what you are running for the ret of the combo, it might be better to use the good intake with the small port heads.

Im running a "B" cut impeller  so im thinking i need the rpm's as high as i can get em..

Ok im going ahead with the build, now i have done some researching and even if i change my cam i have to match it with  springs or it is a waiste of time eventually i will flatten the cam or worse float/suck a valve.

So i have another set of better flowing heads with the same size valves in my peanut heads, see were im going with this? I need to match the springs to the cam, i found everything i need @ Summit
Cant i just take out my valves and swap them over to the other heads, yes i know another valve job is required... But it would give me better flow and i would not have to worry about building another engine for awhile......bigger flowing heads and a better intake.... I can do this and get it ready in about a month..

Well Rod i hope you get your shit straight. i would hate to think this is a chevy thing!!  These Ford boy's would never let us off the hook

Good luck to ya Bro, we both need it

Thats everything i wanted to hear.......Ive got it stuck in my head that i have to run forged or it just wont work........I guess i have to stop being so anal about it and just get it in the water...
So what it all comes down to is not being the last in line but just being there to be the last in line
I will finish up this engine in the next few days get her back in the boat and get r done

Im still going to pick up the other block and slowly build it, did i say slowly already

so im going to run a 454 with a performer intake peanut port heads and a 800 cfm Holley, that should be good to about 50 mph ya think

Sebastian and Marc got 2 1/2 years out of a stock truck BBC that they bought semi-rusty and they didn't baby it either. I think it did like 55 on the GPS. 

Thats what i want to hear

2bolt
Cast crank
Stock rods
Balanced?
Cam yes.
Berg??? Builder wasnt me, dont know
Change pistons unless i build a new motor then i will use H beams
Reading that just made me tired : banghead:

2confused

Is it just me or has the build recently gone in reverse  get a game plan and stick with it

-beerjet-

Well remember im a broke ass jet boater and im trying to decide what is the best way to go about this...Should i say f it and run CAST pistons?  Swap them out?........Build a motor that i know it will last.......Too many options and too much time on my hands

2sav

Im thinking about doing a swap and if its too much involved and i need alot of machine work i might just build another engine and say F it.....


2sav

Cuz he's a broke ass jet boater . 

-beerjet-

I should have known

Me too....
