Here are a few things you need to check when building your WildCat 223 This tool can help you when setting up your engine www.ombwarehouse.com/camshaft...
I bought the Wildcat 223 from OMBWAREHOUSE just because of your videos here ! I was planning on doing the 20 over rod and piston ...to hopefully have 17 thousandths in the hole as well...but just noticed a 50 thousandths over forged rod avail now for the Wildcat 223. Kinda scary though, if my engine is anything like yours ( Still waiting , 10 day delivery special order wait time ) ...that only leaves 7 thousandths in the hole. Think it's safer going 20/20 rod/piston combo....50 in one shot with the rod seems like a lot....any thoughts ?
Here are my thoughts. Use the +.020 rod and the .570 pin height piston. Once these get installed and we know the true deck height, we can get our .030” clearance through the head gasket. Head gaskets come in .010”, .018”, .027”, and .040” thicknesses. Too many variables with these engines to have one “recipe” that fits all engines. The +.050” rod uses the .550” pin height piston
Hey Eric, I set my ARC flywheel to 65ft pounds and now I'm trying to get it off to add a cam to the 223. It's not working with the knocker method, you think a puller is the only way?
Yes, I would only use a puller on ARC and PVL flywheels. NOT an outside puller. You need to have a small one for the threaded holes in the front of the flywheel! www.ombwarehouse.com/7250-flywheel-puller.html
Anyone know what the stock specs are on the wildcat 223 cam are like lift duration? Been trying find that out and what the Tillotson 212r while they were being sold. I have one just surprised the stock 212r cam had like .264 .265lift on the Tillotson was wondering if anyone else had similar results.
Will these heads fit on a Predator Hemi? I've asked everyone including EC and no one will answer me LoL. I really only want to know yes or no, not get into why and what and this and that with everyone.
@@TheGrayGoatGarageI never noticed that you answered me, sorry for that. THanks for the repl, I still didn't have an answer until right now haha. Glad that I decided to rewatch this video. Regardless it was the dowel pins and bolt holes I was concerned with mostly, different pushrods makes perfect sense. But not everyone knows that so thanks for making sure that I did.
