We have used 8 plug Ford SOHC heads and distributorless blocks racing dirt and asphalt for years.Oh,and it works fine indeed.

Mill the head.Put a cam in it and the recommended springs.This will put you over your budget a little even if you do the work yourself but the most horsepower per dollar.
Except for starting with a...

The only rods we've ever run in our 2.5 race motors,keepm 'em under 7600 never a problem.

Don't know the exact year,I think 3.0 1987????????? Slides right in to my 2.3 Ranger tranny. Should be darned cheap.Easy to spot too if their on a rack they won't be rusty:)You will need to adjust...

We have run the 2.5s for 6 years both in our stuff and in motors we set up for other guys.NEVER seen an oil pump failure.

What I have seen is a lot of guys running pump in the pan 2300's have oil...

Here is some video of the last few laps from last weeks Short Tracker Feature at I94 Speedway Fergus Falls MN.
Short Trackers are 4 cyl Mustangs,4 cyl Pickups and 4cyl FWD all together at once.

Some hints:
You need 2 hall effect(gear tooth sensor type) sensors mounted 90 degrees apart triggered by 2 cutouts in the metal oilpump sprocket beltguide 180 degrees apart.1 sensor triggers 1 and 4...

I use the 7mm umbrella seal without the glue.I machine a flat groove in the bowl with the OD just inside the spring pocket but with the ID big enough to clear the checkvalve(mine has a checkball not...

I wish I had more time to experiment.

A C3 has REALLY light internal parts but probably is strong enough as it came behind some V6s.

It would be fun to set one up with a direct drive hub(no...

I'm with Dave on the timing.Unusually glowing exhaust is usually not enough timing,although if it's dark enough and you run hard enough they all glow some.

Get a Late Model. With a $$$ no issue mindset you will spend as much on your mini. If I could afford it I'd move up and leave the economy class racing classes to the purpose it was meant for.

The restrictor raises the pressure inside the block and head,a good thing to prevent steam bubbles. I think that is why a restrictor or a thermostat is important,not because it slows the coolant...

Make yourself an offset dowel.I used a 1/4" bolt and ground the head down from 7/16 hex to 1/4 rectangle offset 1/8".

Check your fuel supply from end to end:Air leak between pump and tank,kinked line,dirty filter,fuel tank vented,3/8 or bigger lines,low float level.....................Pressure is important:4-5lbs at...

The tighter102-108 lobe centers accelerate harder in the mid-range,110 plus gives a smoother idle and more high rpm power.
Actual valve timing events are the most important measurements but lobe...

If there was any sort of bearing failure in your engine there most likely are metal particles in your oil passages in your head.Take out all the pipe plugs from the ends of the head and use a bore...

84Dave provided this information to this board years ago and I convinced he's right on the money.

I'm counting on him responding soon here to your question.Follow his advice, he is a gentleman...

RIch condition some common problems on a Holley:
Blown/leaking power valve.
Shrunken gaskets.
Leaking or mis-adjusted needle valves.
Bad needle valve oring.
Pullover.
I think we run 56-58 jets...

"Vibration refers to mechanical oscillations about an equilibrium point."Wikpedia.
Your spindles vibrated at their natural frequency that really got going with no weight on them. The threads have a...

86/75=1.147 so you have 14.6% lets say 15% more distance covered per revolution of the wheel.So I suppose you would be turning 15% of say 8000 is about 1200 less rpm on the straights assuming the...

x3 on Schneider. Whatever cam you choose use the correct and top quality valve springs.

If you don't have to pay much for it or if you already own it and it doesn't need a lot of other work I'd rough up the port an inch around the hold and clean it up with a good solvent.Mix up some JB...

You read about guys using them as a second ring,but I wouldn't.

I feel a bigger end gap on the second ring helps keep the top one from fluttering so if a gapless is really better sealing I...

Newer B2300/b2500 are just rebadged Rangers. With your plans for no intermarraige of engines will you allow a B2000/B2200/B2600(old style Mazda) with a B2300/B2500(actually a Ford)engine???
