How much CR does a 400m head have?
How much CR does a 400m head have?
So, if your stock 400M has 8.5 to 1 CR, it will now have approximately 8.7 to 1 CR. About the most material you can reasonably remove from your stock 351M/400 heads is 0.025″, which would increase your CR by approximately 5.75% which would give a 400 a CR of 8.98875. Installing a different set of heads
What are the resources of a 351M / 400 engine?
They are: The Compression Ratio (CR) The Camshaft & Valve Train The Intake & Carburetion Adding more Cubic Inches 351M/400 Resources Raising the Compression Ratio By far, the best thing you can do to your engine is to raise the compression ratio.
Can you change the heads on a 70-74 351C 2V?
The 70-74 351C 2V heads will give your engine a slight increase in compression, however, the small increase in CR is not worth swapping the heads, in my opinion. You can get nearly the same increase in compression by milling your stock heads the standard 0.010″ when you have them rebuilt.
What was the compression ratio of the 1971 351M / 400?
compression ratio. All of the 351M/400s came with 8.0 to 8.4 to 1 compression ratios (except for the 1971 400, which had a 9.1:1 CR). While even a 9.1:1 compression ratio pales in comparison to the muscle car area of the ’50s, ’60s & early ’70s, that’s about all you can feasibly
When do you know you need to adjust a valve?
You can only properly adjust the valvetrain after removing and closely scrutinizing each of the rocker arms, pushrods and valve stems (the cylinder heads do not need to come off at this point). If the lash on one valve seems excessively loose or tight, that is a red flag that there is something wrong.
When do you switch to an adjustable valvetrain?
If we switch to solid lifters it is mandatory that we convert to an adjustable valvetrain (I would also say that converting to adjustable valvetrain is mandatory in ALL racing applications as well as any application where we want to have accurate control of our valve lash setting). Not doing so is asking for serious problems!
