This video is almost 10 years old… time flies. I heard only one gear change… is that a PowerGlide transmission? My 67 Camaro had a straight 6 with a PG transmission. But it didn’t pull 9 second quarter miles!
Looking like some kickbacks in your intake ports buddy??? Maybe wanting to upgrade the valve springs to a slightly heavier spring rate or addition of a dampening spring? Seems like they're just on the edge of valve floating. Otherwise Definitely one bad @ss ride man!
Great to see something different! Smart looking dragster. An Australian built 6 rather than an American built V8. If you want to run in ANDRA's B/MD class (Modified Eliminator) you will need to run to run into the 9 second area to be competitive.
1 last thought on stand -off, has anyone tried making a slip in anti -reversion cone that slides down into the intake runners? of coarse length and wall to tube spaceing would have to calculated. they werk in harley exhaust and proven effective for reversion, why wouldn't it work on a intake runner? dodge viper v10 uses a Helmholtz tunned runners as well as tube framed buells. hmmmm
@3.00 minutes to 3.12secounds, something interesting is happening to the intake stacks. i see vapor , and it seems to be reverseing out of the carbies, then go back into the air stacks. what am i witnessing here? is the cam overlap pushing the fuel vapor out of the stacks at hypersonic speed? or is it actually pulling the exhuast gasses from the header, back into the air stacks?
yaakov abdulah muhammed ...your not mistaken....that is a phenomenon called "Stand off"...pressure wave comes back up intake runner...and forces vaporized fuel back out the stacks....
i thank you mate for a reply to what i was seeing in the vid.i did a little research and i discovered the Helmholtz resonator. Helmholtz resonance or wind throb is the phenomenon of air resonance in a cavity, such as when one blows across the top of an empty bottle. The name comes from a device created in the 1850s by Hermann von Helmholtz, the Helmholtz resonator, which he used to identify the various frequencies or musical pitches present in music and other complex sounds. hmm does this mean we need to look at intake runners as a musical instruments ? to be fined tuned for this resonance we are seeing? or a actual stack shaped like the resonator !!that would be a very interesting concept!!!. i see on this vid the intake runners are long, perhaps because of the headers takeing up a lot of room on the intake side of things. all in all its still a interesting video to watch and i like those sounds of SIX!!!
yaakov abdulah muhammed ....if that's the case.....why is it encountered on dyno cells...with no air flow at all blowing over induction stacks.....usally forms at high RPM...under a load....on "IR" induction... (independent runner)....adding a plenum under the carburetor usually eliminates "Stand Off"....when you witness it on a stationary engine...you will understand it's not caused by air passing the stacks....
yaakov abdulah muhammed ...watch when he does the burnout....he gets Stand off...with no forward velocity....at all....it comes from the engine....mate...!
yes i noticed it , that's why is so dam interesting to understand how this occurs. only had a su on the Harley . never got into fileing rods ect for max tuneing. i just didn't buy a box of needles and start to grind them into different shapes to tune that su.. pretty much bolt on and go lolol. it ran great with naphaline and gas so i was happy went fast went far.
@@johnzimmerman4781 He showed me what to look for. It was a while ago. Spark plugs placement looks like they are in the head. The boots and plugs do not stick out like a typical engine.
