Welcome! I'm from Portland oregon
529 for 35s and 488 for 33 and I like the grizzly locker
Thanks for input. Does anyone bother with a rev limiter ignition like the MSD 6AL?Or do you just depend on your tuner ears & hope your RPM doesn't run away going downhill?
when I had my 20/22 hybrid engine i rarely got over 6500 rpm but it did drop a valve at 7200 rpm once once was enough it depends on what cam you have what carb and what exhaust. if all are large enough it will spin up that high but it would have to be a VERY long and steep hill for it to over rev the engine. it just doesnt happen when you have dual cases and use them.
The engine build: Weber 32/36 w/adapter on a '77 intake(no EGR) port matched to cyl head, O/S int & ex valves(Engnbldr), Comp Cams 87-127-6(224* @.050" x .435" L), '83 cookie-cutter pistons in '83 tall block, LC Eng dual row chain & cam sprocket, Pacesetter headers 2" exhaust thru 2" cat & 2.25" series 40 Flowmaster. I'll just have to learn my shift points by ear then .
I would strongly suggest (assuming you havent already got the w56 transmission) to use the L52HD Marlin sells. you get the strength of the w56 in the length of the stock transmission giving you much better driveline angles in the rear.I just about never use 5th gear with my 35's the engine runs cooler when running at 3600 rpm in 4th than 3100 in 5th (approx same speed+/- ) and I dont have to downshift at every bump in the highway.
I'm scared to ask what you paid for your dual timing chain kit through them a 20R chain kit from engnbldr would have been fine, heck even one from autozone would be adequate.the cam is a little mild but should do a nice job. how long are those primary tubes on that pacesetter???
My mistake. Only the dual cam sprocket from LC eng....the chain from Mizumi, a wholesale house.The headers tubes are 1.5 dia. x 32 L, 2" collector.
