Getting there slowly

One valve cover finished, the other should be done tonight.

 

[CoD_50callongshotz]

that valve cover looks awsome.

 

[Venom351R]

Thanks, all the lettering was all red before and it was painted flat black from
The factory. I repainted it wrinkle black and changed up th coloring some. There is going to be a lot of black under the hood when it's all done so i wanted them to stand out. The intake and accessories brackets have been sent out to be powder coated.

 

[Venom351R]

Here are both of them together. Just hope I can get them on the car w/ out scuffing them up any.

 

[Venom351R]

Got the wheel hub today that needed to be replaced and the other spacer installed so now my wheels dont have the "tucked in" look they had before.

Looks good!! Now I need to update my pathetic stock brakes...

 

[Venom351R]

Those SSBC brakes grip like a MOFO

 

[Venom351R]

The Upper/Lower intake and accessory brackets have been sand blasted and should be getting powder coat soon

 

[white95]

What color bro?

 

[Venom351R]

All going to be wrinkle black but the lettering on the upper will be polished

 

[Venom351R]

I have a question regarding the crank case ventilation. The victor EFI Jhas no PCV valve so I was running 2 open breather caps on the valve covers. Will I be able to use 2 closed breathers on the VC and run an open breather for the oil cap?

 

[Venom351R]

Parts are all powder coated, they will be shipped back to me shortly.

 

[Paul]

Powdercoating looks good. Shoulda sanded the stuff down first though - would've given you a nice, smooth finish and more sheen.

Paul.

 

[Venom351R]

I was happy with how everything came out, plus I got it for free minus the cost of shipping and sandblasting. Just can't wait to get it all back now

 

[Mika]

Look really good.

Well after 3 long months the cylinder heads are finally done!!!!!! Ed shipped them to me yesterday. He said he enclosed a "gift" I was hoping it was a free set of roller rockers but I found out later that its an additional bill for $140 lol thanks Ed.

Here are the head specs below.


TFS Custom CNC Ported 234HR High Port Heads
2.055? x 5/16? Super Alloy Intake Valves
1.600? x 5/16? Super Alloy Exhaust Valves
Lunati 73925 LSX Dual Valve Spring Kit
TFS Hardened Guide Paltes for 5/16? Push Rods
ARP Pro-Series 7/16? Rocker Arm Studs

Only Pics I have so far.

Well the heads came today. I have set of stock rear springs coming tomorrow so I can get the car back down on 4 wheels again and the powder coated items will be here saturday. Just have to order some head gaskets and then I can start to work on the correct push rod length and the PVC.

Here are some long awaited pics of the new heads.

As far as some more info on the heads here are the flow numbers.

Lift Intake Exhaust
.100" ..80 .58
.200" 142 115
.300" 196 150
.400" 258 190
.500" 304 215
.550" 320 220
.600" 333 222
.650" 340 230
.700" 334 236
.750" 340 238


The heads also use 5/16" valve stem, not the standard 11/32" stems. These valves are over 20% lighter then the competition. As quoted by Ed. He said this valve train with the correct push rods will spin up the lower 7K range. They are also 64cc Combustion chambers.
