^^^ THIS! Wouldn't it just be easier to own that you were wrong about Jim running eights.... Then you could apply all that waisted time towards getting your Hot Rod running so you don't miss another season of racing.... Just saying. |

It's pretty easy to get around 250 at .550 out of iron heads. I have ported many sets. Lower lift numbers are strong and they make good power. I have a set of 48 I did years ago that hit a bit over 270 and that was ten times the work for 10 percent more flow. The port needs to match the combination.

Fact #2: The man has since passed on (years ago). Aluminum Heads from Edelbrock was Jim Butler's solution to not having the cast iron employee's porting skills available. Tom V.

Few know more than bits and pieces of what really occurred in the early Pontiac/ Butler
Days. I believe Dan Whitmore was another guy with a lot of talent, just like Butler's guy, AND Barney Mahovitz, AND Mr Robertson. Tom V. Hope I spelled Barney's last name correctly.

No Sir. Just trying to keep PY from turning into PZ. Also don't mind giving you tips on time management. That's what this site is for. Pontiac folks helping Pontiac folks.
Hope you get the Hot Rod done. Two missed season's is a percentage of time lost. Last edited by PAUL K; 01-29-2023 at 10:36 AM. |
