ADAM I HAVE A 1953 SUPER M HAD ENGINE REBUILT 2 YEARS AGO !!! 4.125 X 5.25 HAD THE HEAD OPENED UP REAL BIG !!! THROUGH THAT IN SCRAP PILE !!!!
MISTAKE !!! LOST VACUUM !!!
BOUGHT A 400 HEAD TOOK .04 OFF THE HEAD AND INSTALLED A .02 COPPER GASKET !!! ALSO L.P MANIFOLD !!! DIDN'T PUT TRACTOR BACK ON DYNO !!!
DRASTIC INPROVEMENT !!!! NIGHT AND DAY !!!
BUT THAT STILL ISN'T ENOUGH. TRACTOR PULLING IS GETTING TOUGH !!! SPEND SOME MONEY ON BORE AND STROKE !!!! SORRY !! I HAD TO MANY GREAT HOOKS AND HAD THE MOTOR GO SILENT !!!! SILENCE IS A BAD THING WHEN TRACTOR PULLING !!!! PORTING AND POLISHING IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING (TORQUE) CARB VENTURI !!! COMPRESSION , ALL THINGS THAT HAVE TO BE LEARNED !!! I HAVE STARTED A SCRAP PILE OF MY MISTAKES, BUT IN TIME YOU'LL SPEND LESS AND GET MORE !!! THAT'S THE FUN OF PULLING
JUST MY 4 CENTS
