A mate of mine has this Crane Cam hydraulic roller in a 355 with 11 to 1 compression (VN heads) . It has a pretty good cammy note without being too...

Good job with a 1.94 intake. It is a fairly big stick for a streetcar and I’m sure that Hp level will get the VK honking along very nicely.

Rod, those early cnc heads sound pretty good indeed. Are they fitted with a 1.94 or 2.02 inlet? What sort of duration and lift cam to achieve that...

Did you clean the tops of the pistons or was it part of the ‘freshen up’ that the engine received before you bought it? Looking at photo ‘Blue...

Beg, borrow or buy a set of verniers to measure the bore, otherwise you are just guessing. Or get your engine guy to measure it for you.

Sounds like a solid combo using HQ heads with 1.94 intake valve and the performer manifold with that mild hydraulic flat tappet cam. If the cam an...

That’s shit mate

Ha Ha Ha I don’t think anyone will take your single planes Pauly

The Edelbrock Air Gap is slightly lower than the TP Dual Plane High Rise.

Use Pauly’s photos and you should be all good. Just don’t get carried away, trust me, easy to do....

I’ve got a TP Dual Plane High Rise on a 355 with VN heads (small roller cam) and with a small drop base air cleaner it fits no drama in a VK. If...

I figured for $500 I’m having one of these single planes and I’ll use it on my next 355 build. Once I get all my bits sorted I’ll start the build...

Yeh, 8.5 to 1 comp seems very asthmatic

Did you have the heads reco’d? If you have had the seats cut be careful you don’t accidentally give them a touch up with the burr.

Totally agree, no argument from me.

Looks nice, and would look good in a blinged up engine bay, but I prefer the original Holden timing covers.

Cool... Unfortunately quality Crane roller lifters (solid or hydraulic) are pricey...

Pauly, have you fitted the Edelbrock single plane to anything yet? I’m curious as to what you think of it and how it performs or compares to whatever...

Unless there is a readily available (not too pricey) 7/16 bolted I beam, I’d just use a 3/8 bolted I beam and move on. Noting you started with a...

As previously suggested by Pauly our resident single plane and cam guru, have another look at the 280 Crane Cam. I’ve previously used the Camtech...

Noting that the bore is out to 60 thou over, I’d take it to a trusted engine machine shop and get the thing stripped, cleaned and measured up and go...

I can’t see how keeping someone in maximum security for life is cheaper than executing them, either way there is going to be a cost associated with a...

Pauly, I agree with you.
