hi im looking to get as much horse power out of my nailhead by any means neccisary and i was wondering where i can find any performance parts. any direction on where to find the parts im looking for would be well apprciated.
For internal perf. parts, engine assembly, porting, etc. www.taperformance.com www.paeenterprises.com For head, intake and/or exh. manifold porting http://www.gesslerheadporting.com/ If you're looking for MAX type power from a Nailhead - I would seriously suggest an intercooled ATI Procharger or a good twin turbo setup. Roller rockers or mini-starter Look up Tom Telesco on this board. *That should get you started.
thanks guys i appreciate the help, i think itd be pretty cool to have a beast of a nailhead.....something different then the hemis/chevys/and fords that are commonly found in hotrods
TA Performance also has a stroker kit for the Nailheads, plus things like headers, bigger-high flow valves, hp oil pumps, roller rockers, custom pistons (i.e. lower compression for forced induction), Fuel Injection, upgraded hardware, etc. Extrude honing works well on these cylinder heads because they are difficult to get into with rotary tools. Forced induction will be the way to go, because of the poor air flow of the cylinder heads. You will make tons of torque, but the horsepower will never be as much as the BBC or Hemi, just because of all the restrictions in the cylinder heads. But it will get respect!
hey dave, I didn't realize you were on this forum... did you get my letter and self addressed envelope yet? wes
