No, I think he could have trashed the entire thread.

Wow, I thought I had gone nuts.....maybe Bob can rework that tool so it doesn't happen again. alot of time was burned up trying to get my mind right

 

[dq409]

Take that !!!

Still want to talk about compression?

If I remember right, the deleted thread addressed the question of a supercharged 409 and a question regarding the suitability of a higher compression ratio.

I was also reading with interest as that's what I am thinking of.

Anyway, here's what I'm thinking:

656 crate short block (still in original wooden crate from 1964)
690 heads
Lamar Walden supercharger manifold
Eaton/Magnacharger supercharger (have to make a custom plate to work with L/W manifold but don't need a hole in the hood or a cowl hood as with 6-71)
Multi port fuel injection setup (probably Holley Commander 950 controlled)

Haven't made a decision as to cam yet.

Talked with the guys at Magnuson today regarding the supercharger. Currently their largest is a 122 cubic inch supercharger. While they've made it work with a 454, it was apparently struggling. They said they'll have a 2.3L (about 140 cubic inches) supercharger out in about 5 months. They also recommended raising compression on the motor to 9.0 to 9.5 and running 6 or so lbs of boost.

If I'm going to do the above, probably better replace the cast truck pistons. Anyone have a set of standard bore forged car pistons? I'd think about a stroker, but it doesn't look like Ross makes standard bore stroker pistons and the compression looks like it would come in too high. Any thoughts on a cam selection?

Anyway, I'll post some pictures as this comes together.

standard bore stroker piston.

Ross will make you a stroker piston in standard bore. Or any bore, comp ht, or comp ratio you want. Just have all your numbers together and ask for Pat.

I believe that was deleted by the user. I didn't move or delete it. (unless my Alzheimers is kicking in again)
