WOW! light the fuse and run!

 

BAE Heads and Block although Chuck Nuyyten makes a nice hemi block.

 

Cn Block

If you are running a door car,or a class that requires self starting,then the CN block is the best choice because Chuck can machine the block with starter location on the block. there are alot of other customs options as well,but you need to talk to Chuck about all the different options for your needs-Chuck Nuytten-972-722-8333

 

so BAE heads and block hold up better and make more HP?

Opinions are like a$$holes and mine stinks a little more than.........Stevie Sanchez at Total Flow can make more horsepower and torque than anybody. Ask Frank Parker. We're still partial to Keith Black blocks. Probably just because they've worked so well for us. Next opinion please............

 

I agree with Bobby Blue, we make BIG powr with our Total Flows and Steves service is top notch! Just been struggling getting the power to the ground.

 

so Veney Heads are Older style heads? they say you can run more timing with them?

More timing doesn't mean more hp/torque.Six to 1 compression and use 52 degrees; 10.6 to 1 and 29 to 31 is all it takes. Remember the low compression Nascar engines 10 years ago? We keep looking and coming up with ideas, some work better than others. Thing is nowdays, if you run faster than I, rather than work on my combo, it's faster for me to buy a combo like yours. Sponsors want results. If everybody does this, who's working and inventing new stuff? Then NHRA plays into it and bans all new heads, "unless they are approved", and we get cookie cutter cars and performance. That's why we made so much progress in the "old days", Jack Rousch would run smaller engines and feather light cars and beat everybody. Rick Santos' first championship car was a tiny engine small block with a car that weighed in at1500# with him in it. Once he got to 5.53 the crank wouldn't stay in the best blocks he could find. The old addage stays: more timing until it blows, then back it off a degree. Modern fuel injection does that: increases timing until spark knock and then backs off a degree.

 

my turn...

John makes a nice block also TFX or AJ now the case may be
dont count out the veney stuff it will make good power also
next...

 

If you look at the Miner Bros stuff you might be surprised. Good stuff, good people. Their blocks are made by CN. Make sure you look at parts availability also. Call BAE and ask how long to get a motor or a set of heads. Same with the other engine builders. Do you want used stuff or new? Lots of questions to ask but I can say I am incredibly happy with my choice. By the way MBR only does alcohol stuff so you don't have to worry about your order getting put at the bottom of the list when the fuel guys call and order a dozen of something. Dave Germain

 

For heads I agree with Bobby Blue and Tim Stevens about Total Flow. They are an improved version of BAE's heads and work with BAE manifolds and headers. Steve's a great guy, he'll be happy to explain the differences between his heads and BAE's as well as the advantages to his head over Veney's. Steve not only manufactures heads but services them as well. He's been around for decades and actually prepped the first set of heads to go 300 mph in TF! Check out www.totalflowproducts.com.
