This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy..

    I am looking for some tech info:

    Port volumes/CC's for a ported set of Stg3's, intake/exhaust? Mine flow 340/350 intake-265 exhaust. close #'s will work

    Short side and long side lengths of intake/exhaust ports?

    Intake runner lengths for a Dominator TA intake?

    Compression height for a stock 455 block?

    What's the common piston pin size for the 6.800 Alum rod set up?

    Bearing journal diameter for the camshaft?

    If I was at home this would be alot easier........:spank:

    Dude,
    The pin on my set-up is BBC .990 instead of the 1" buick pin. Since the rods and pistons are custom pieces it may pay off to have them made on sbc .927. That would save a ton of weight, I don't no what one would lose in the strenght department though. :Do No:

    deck height is 10.570
    cam journal is 1.750
    runners are around 5 to 6 inches for the short ones and 7 to 8 for the long ones aproximately
    your better of with a .990 pin rather than the buick 1.0
    pin selection is much better especialy on a nitrous application

    Hey Rick,

    Last winter Gary Kubisch and I measured the port volume of our cylinder heads. My Stg 2s were at 248 ccs (max flow 336) and my Stg 4s were around 258 ccs (max flow 353). If I remember correctly Gary's Stg 2s were around 246 (max flow 325).

    The roof of the port is 6.25 inches long while the port floor is 3.75 inches.

    I dont know about the T/A intake but my Chrysler Indy intake runner is about 8.5 inches from the carb base to the port exit measure down the center of the port.

    A stock Buick block is supposed to be 10.600 from the center of the crank to the top of the deck. Most of the blocks I have seen are around 10.575.

    For the rod pin I would stay with a .990 pin for our large bore pistons. If your going naturally aspirated then use a lightweight version. BUT.... I know you like that happy juice so you had better use on that is very strong!!

    Hope this helps.... Take Care
