Lighting Lower porting project
porting for a friend for his project truck. spent about 4 hours on it today still need some clean up on the ports and get everything blasted and coated. still got the plenum and blower to port. ill post up more pics when i get around to it next weekend. if the thread is still alive.

Looks like a good project, just be wary of porting the blower. You don't want to mess up the port timing of the blower. Every test I've seen with "professional" ported blowers loses power until they speed the blower up, and of course the unported blower would have made more power too with a smaller pulley, so the test articles are worthless. :beers: |

There's nothing to seal there, so you could grind right into it if you want as long as you don't get up around the step where the injector seats.

the benefit of a ported blower would be lower discharge temps.

if ya ask me the way to build the system would be to use an ammonia based intercooler. imagine the temps you could pull off. psi = temp in its own system.

Im building a 302 right now, I've spent alteast 20 hours porting and polishing the heads. I tell ya what, porting is no easy task, damn cast iron!
|
the real gains to polishing the lower and mid plate are the lower air temperatures
|
I really need to do this to mine. Possibly this weekend...
