I'm gonna pay for it little by little every month, so after a little over a year, it'll be all mine and mine alone :v:

Really it's just like the 350 is a "my first hot rod" engine and it's annoying to see them in everything. "Bocephus tol' me I oughter pull that ol' hunkajunk 383 and put me one of them 350 hot rod injuns in 'er, no low balling I know what I got"
I'm shopping right now so I keep seeing them and it made me want to complain[/QUOTE]
im poor so mine is a handout of a 305
I FKN LOVE TURBOS

well as far as i know 350s are widely used, they have lots of aftermarket and they're everywhere... atleast in the US. so I can see why they'd be used alot.

[QUOTE=JesseR92;48493590]It doesn't appear that they make aftermarket steel heads for the 440 getting the motor rebuilt as it could really use it I'll see ifvthey can machine the heads at the same time as the hone or bore the block.[/QUOTE]

Couple iron heads on here. For how much more it costs you really cant go wrong with aluminum heads
[url]http://www.hughesengines.com/TechArticles/3edelbrockvictorcylinderheads.php[/url]
Its most than an aluminum recast of a stock head, its almost a complete redesign. The one her doesn't even have the monster max wedge ports.
Stock head flows 220cfm and master ported is 280, these flow 300 out of the box and 400cfm if you get them cnc ported later on which is HUGE, talkin capable of supporting 2000+hp boosted.
Though you're just doing a street machine, it'll make tons of power N/A. If you get your stock iron heads redone you'll be out a lot of money for a whole lotta nothing, my cousin was going to get a set of 340 heads redone and the cost of those refinished, not even ported, was the same as a set of brand new aluminum heads.
I don't think they will allow me collectors insurance with aluminum heads insurance difference of 300$ opposed to 2500-3000 a year.
[QUOTE=Valon Kyre;48492091]I did that to a pair of ford 460 heads, took me 16 hours, i dont even know how much it helped but for how much I hogged out ill be damned if it didnt.
The stock iron heads dont gain a whole lot of power from porting, and if its your first time theres a lot of research to be done so you know where you can take X amount of material from without hitting the coolant ports.

there's more to it than just making the holes bigger
Friend installed an all new ignition system on his Integra.
Threw a misfire code driving it around. And now we get to tear it apart
Speaking of Integras, this was my favorite car we had in high school auto shop:

Sounded like a fucking airplane starting up. They scrapped it last year, rip. It had a cracked block and only had compression/spark in two cylinders. No reverse gear.

I'm fine with this as long as people bother to make it fuel injected with like Megasquirt or one of the pretty decent plug and play setups. The world doesn't need any more carb 350 downgrades.

"All new ignition system", if you put MSD anything on a Honda you get to tear it apart and throw it in the garbage where MSD belongs. Or do you just mean a new distributor? Remember to jump the service connector when setting the timing.
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;48493533]I'm so tired of 350s. They're everywhere I look. 46 Ford Coupe, "all original". Neat, I think - maybe it'll have a flathead V8. No, it has a 350. 63 Mercury. Neat! 350. 68 Satellit- 350!
350s should be fucking exterminated. Be original. God damn.

'38 packard, 350. Seriously???[/QUOTE]
You know theirs alot of reasons why people switch to a 350, mainly because it is dirt cheap and a proven engine!
Its all about your cup of tea and if you like it with or without sugar and warm or cold.

I barely touched the intake, the big killer on the BBF heads is the exhaust flows like shit, you can see how choked it is by the valve, rather than a straight shot.
I researched for a good 2 weeks, blended the bowl, adjust the short turn, 3 angle valve job, you have to create a better port within the parameters of a shit one, not hog out a shit design to its limits.

It just annoys me that unless you're buying from an old old junkyard you're more likely to find a 350 in a pre-60s car than the original or at least a period motor. And people pulling and scrapping better engines to replace with a 350 because that's "the thing".
I realized today I've gone like 5-6k since an oil change. I don't really care since I'm not an autistic highschooler anymore, but I've really been racking miles up driving up to PA 2+ times a month. Was looking through pics from june and I was at 174k miles, now I'm at 178k and I'm not even sure when it was I changed it.
hehe
So I've had a nasty scrape on my bumper, decided to conceal it and make it look worse with plastidip:

Codes were a misfire on all cylinders plus a random misfire detection. Engine wasnt misfiring at all. Cleared the codes after checking all the plugs. Was idling fine, but theres a valve tick when the engine is warm.
Not my problem. Cant help him more than that. Hes selling it anyway

This picture makes me happy.
Went to the local mopar guru suggested I keep the stock heads and go for cam,forged pistons,and a good rebuild.
This is what happens when you hold off on your dreams.
Someone made a deposit on the 2000 Prelude I wanted, and only a fool would walk away from that one so I guess it's gone. That was the only car out of every Prelude/Integra/Miata/E30 that I was actually interested in/was in good shape.
There is a used car dealership selling a 98 with 170k miles but the quarter panel is missing a small chunk (presumably from rust) and I have no idea who the last owner is. They want $2500 but if it's still there I would probably go $2200 max assuming I can fix the quarter panel issue while maintaining a clean look for a few hundred.

forged pistons don't really make any sense if you're not running lots of boost
[QUOTE=butre;48497344]forged pistons don't really make any sense if you're not running lots of boost[/QUOTE]
I dont hink im ever going to be running any way other than Naturally aspirated so I can cross that off may still get new pistons depending on how honing the cylinders goes and such.
[QUOTE=Lerlth;48493209]A Supercharger. I was thinking if it was 100% efficiency, the math would be correct. I know with a turbo it would get more net power, but I wanna go super charged for now. If I account for parasitic loss, head flow, and so on, I imagine it will be a 20-30% increase in power. I plan on porting and polishing the heads because why not. Hopefully that'll yield a >5% increase.

That's fucking nuts![/QUOTE]
If you are going with an M90 expect a 35 to 50hp gain all in all.
forged pistons can improve compression which is nice but it's not like you're talking 2 stroke where the shape of the dome makes a huge difference. the biggest and cheapest improvement you can make is honestly indexed spark plugs.
[QUOTE=JesseR92;48497164]Went to the local mopar guru suggested I keep the stock heads and go for cam,forged pistons,and a good rebuild.[/QUOTE]
Change the pistons out and you'll have to balance the bottom end, maybe turn the crank down a bit too. The advantaged of forged slugs is they're lighter and usually a better design but your 440 probably has a full forged bottom end already.
You want the cheap power solution? Intake manifold first with a holley 850, then headers/full exhaust, if you're gonna do any degree of improvement with a cam then you're gonna need beefier valve springs which means you'll have to take the heads apart which entails new seats/valve seals/springs/valves/deck it 10 thou. You'll also need new keepers, retainers, rocker gear is probably still good, hydraulic lifters may need to be changed out too unless its solid. Dont forget changing the timing chain out to a double roller for preventative maintenance, and redoing all the seals/gaskets that lead up to that.
You see why I say its a lot better to buy a set of aluminum ones done and assembled? Even just edelbrock performer RPM's for $1000 will save you all the headache/unnecessary work of redoing those iron heads. Slap em on, dont even change the cam out, it'll be a new car.

I am in full research mode atm.Checked with insurance company yes I can have aluminum heads I just cant have any colorful aluminum piping going on in the engine bay.
I am currently looking at other peoples builds and from what I am seeing a lot of the factory internals are good into the 550HP range so no need for a new Crank or connecting rods they do heavily suggest new fasteners and a slight grind on the crank.
Wanting so flat top forged pistons to raise the compression and yes the Edelbrock performer RPMs to go along with it.
God why does the dollar have to be so shit atm I want mechanical goodies.
I don't know if y'all do trailer and truck stuff but here recently I've been thinking about how to make it easyer and nicer to go from a flat 4 connector to a 7way rv plug.
And all I can think about is how goofy it looks with the flat 4 wires going into the plug and making it look like shit.

Get a weatherproof electrical tallywacker and run a 7way wire from your 7way to the box and done! It looks professional!

Wait what? Insurance company? Why would you tell them you changed the motor? They dont know what theyre looking at. They also arent going to replace the car for what uou bought it for. To them a classic car is worthless.

If you want collectors insurance which is a fraction of the cost you have to apply and send pictures of certain areas of the car,it has to look nice,it has to look stock.The last thing you need is to have an accident and they void your insurance.
