Yes, they have a muffler insert...baffles. I wanted nice and quiet while putting through the neighborhooh, but when you mash the gas they wake right up. Real nice header, can't say enough good things about them and XS-Power's customer service.

do you have the slip in muffler in the pipes?? seems a little quite for race headders and straight pipes

Nice headers but, with all the tight clearances, I'm surprised that you didn't have them Ceramic Coated.

I just love how no-one ever talks cost!!!, I can just imagine.

I understand where you are coming from lakenorman! I recently put together a 350 that was punched 0.060 had a 3.50 stroke crank and a 6in rod and the guys that machined all my stuff told me that the rod length was of no gain in cubic inches before I was told how it works I asked how much more cubes would I get using the 6 in rod and they were like "It's gonna be 360-362 regardless of rod length" Was told that the cubes are coming from the crank and bore and with a dome of 100ths and a 62cc head

BluegrassRules1973 commented on 12 Nov 2009

With a 532/524lift and 298/292advertised duration solid lift cam with 1.5 and 1.6 rockers I had to run cam2 If not it would ping and rattle you to death! I was told that with the same piston and heads if I had not used the longer stroke and rod it would have been on the edge of running racing fuel with around 10.1 compression so that should tell some that it doesn't take much to put yourself in a weekend warrior only unless your pockets are deep with gas$ I had to sell car cause of that error

lakenormanspeed commented on 30 Dec 2010

@smoppins7374 thats not far off from what this engine is. factory oval ports will starve a big 489 or 496 on top but will make a boat load of torque which is perfect, especially in a big impala. the xe274 is a great all-around cam- sound nice, make a lot of midrange power, and should rev to 5500 or so in a 489. Run a dual plane intake like a performer rpm, 750 or 800 holley and a good header- it will pull a house down! (This car will turn sideways @40mph, even with wimpy 3.42 gears)

lakenormanspeed commented on 03 Oct 2009

DZ- think about this- for example a 350 chevy.....3.48 stroke and a 5.7 inch rod. If you go to, lets say, a 6 inch rod, the piston will now be .300 higher in the block at the top of the stroke........it will also be .300 higher at the bottom of the stroke......therefore you have gained nothing......3.48 is 3.48 TDC to BDC, even if you had 4 foot long connecting rod. Not trying to be a smartass man, just rying to explain it better. ONLY the crank determines stroke.

lakenormanspeed commented on 06 Jun 2011

@crushher1 its a customer/friends car. 69 SS396 car. car is pretty much stock. 489CI big block stroker, forged pistons, 10:1, scat crank and rods, comp mutha thumpr hyd. roller cam, comp. roller rockers, GM oval port heads with big valves and pocket ported, hooker headers, (now) single plane intake, 825 demon double pumper carb, modified HEI ignition. full 3" magnaflow exhaust with x pipe. th400 trans with ATI 3500 converter, 12 bolt rear, 3.42 posi.

lakenormanspeed commented on 19 Nov 2009

exactly! Believe it or not, if your parts are matched properly (heads, cam, intake, etc...) you dont need a ton of compression to make good power. Compresion increases are normally done to offset the late closing intake with a major cam. Its all about cylinder pressure! small cam + 10:1 = race gas, but ive built many 11:1 engines that ran fine on pump gas......they had nasty cams in them!

lakenormanspeed commented on 15 Jan 2010

are you running dart aluminum heads or Iron eagles? 10:1 should be fine with iron heads- especially if that solid cam is a decent size. If youre running aluminum heads, you could almost run 87 octane at 10:1 LOL. (im building a pump gas 496 for my own car right now......aluminum heads, BIG solid flat tappet cam, and 11:1- 93 octane will be fine in it)

lakenormanspeed commented on 29 Dec 2010

@smoppins7374 This one has scat 4340 I beams with capscrews and I still had to do a little clearancing. All the stroked BBCs ive built have needed at least a little grinding on the bottom of the cylinders to clear. its not a bad job, just take your time, and dont go any deeper than necessary.....hitting water will ruin your day.

lakenormanspeed commented on 03 Oct 2009

youre absolutely right...it would raise your compression, but you still have to change pistons with a higher wrist pin location when you run a longer rod.....deck height will limit you, depending on engine type and its factory deck height. Most are .020-.060 'in the hole' and that much added to a rod will do nothing for power.

weiandblower commented on 29 Oct 2009

lol. Glad to hear you had good luck with them. I had high hopes beause it was a crate carburetor to.. Ended up with a edelbrock 1406 which has given me almost 30 extra miles in a tank over the Demon. Your chevelle sounds beast! Always fun starting a engine with open headers. Should get a cutout for it.

howtowakeakar commented on 30 Jul 2009

Boring is making the cylinder larger, and stroke is how far up/down it moves. It can be fairly expensive to get a block machined, but instead of incresing the bore, you could always increase the stroke, which may or may not be more expensive. (Never looked into it, as I'm 17 and can't afford either.)

Hotrodx199 commented on 27 Jul 2009

Just the manifolds, no exhaust pipe going down towards the back. Althought it can burn exhaust valves because it's sucking so much cold air when the valves are boiling hot. It's the same thing with windows. If its -30 outside and windows get instant heat they will shatter at a certain temp.

Cullen Sons commented on 02 Feb 2011

everyone at my high school is crazy about getting the new camaro, or that stupid import shit, or the 350z. the new camaro is okay, but im the only only one there thats drivin up in black 79 trans am. no matter what people say, mine is better than all of theirs.

Joseph Fisher commented on 28 Jul 2009

yes u do you can buy what they call electric cutouts and you can have full exaust system with open headers google does a bad job on explaining this..try like patriot exuast cutout there a company that makes what im trying to explain but more in depth

denvera1g1 commented on 14 Nov 2010

@trunk516 I know someone with a chevy 572 Ci and i know someone with two ~30CF(Cubic Feet) engines they do make bigger engines than what you may find in your aunts prius its just that most of these are used in something other than personal vehicles
