Won't work on a 5000 , no place to screw the top cover down. Dang it !

John that is a good looking top end.......a little grinding and should make a 55 into a real saw......first thing I thought when I saw it was, that would fit the 590/490......I have a beat closed port 55 cyl and compared it to a 590 cyl...exact same thing...numbers and all........you can drill and tap for the top cover screw...I would think......how much you paying for one of these......I might have to fund a project and use up a bunch of this 55 stuff someone sent me!!!! This opens up a bunch of possibilities....

Jerry, that sort of old school engine building is exactly what I am wanting to get into!

Once I have got a truck, and some more money saved up, I might try and find a project car...


Seen some 318 dodge darts around for not too much?

Not the hottest engine stock, but from the reading I have done, you can squease 400hp out of them for a reasonably low cost.

Saw a build doing exactly that in hotrod magazine where he got 408 hp for a total cost (including machining) of under $1500....

Mind you, that did involve a lot of porting work on the heads....

 

[roncoinc]

Update : northern part of the state may see FORTY below zero tonight !!!

damn nadians !! take that cold air back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BuT why squeeze 400 out of that when I've got over 300 all day long dead stock in a 6.0 gas? If I build it it will be a 408 stroker and if it doesn't pull 600hp I'll be pissed. That's a mild build truck motor for pulling. You can buy a 5.3 or 6.0 for peanuts in a wrecking yard all day long.

Sent from my MiniMac running E-85!!

Sorry Ron , we are resource rich , our biggest export , raw materials .....

 

[mainewoods]

[tbone75]

That top end was a little under 150.00 from the weedeater guy,on sale right now.

Digging again today , found I have 2 of them 55 Huskys ? LOL I am fixing one up , gonna be some leftovers I am sure !
I have no idea where I got them from ? Knew I had one , but not 2 ? LOL
To bad I already got a jug for mine , I would get one of them Meteor kits !

Evening Folks! Was in the bullseye area for most snow last night and this morn! Close to 2ft out there and drifts to 4ft. Spent all day blowin' it with my 35 year old Ariens snowblower, then shoveling. Was cold at -18 WC! But got a lot done! Luckily didn't loose power! 60 mph winds made it 5th worse storm in Jan. on record! The cold made it rough going! Stay warm folks!
