I Stripped The Threads.....help!

Frank,

I had the same basic question about the single plane. Normally, a single plane will hurt your low end torque. Any comments on how it performs in the lower RPM range? Also, is that a Victor Jr.?

I ran her at the airport drag races and my girlfriend videotaped me racing. I watched the video and it sounded like a truck! I mean thats what it sounded like as I was pulling away.

I am not to sure about the specs of the cam but the low end torque on it is pretty good. I don't have much trouble at all. Very streetable. Then again if this mechanic put in a truck cam there should be sufficient low end torque. As for top end, she is still pulling up to ~5k or so. Compared to before after 4k she was just making noise. But then again its not the same cam either. I don't think its a victor Jr. Its an older manifold from the 60's, I am not to sure of its name. Saw it in a book once but don't remember where. Got it for $50, I said what the hell.

If I had $1500 I would get an extreme energy cam from comp cams, vortech heads, and put the 3.73 differential back in. With that setup I could easily be in the 350hp range. 150 shot of N.O.S wouldn't hurt against those LS1's. But thats just to satisfy this itch, you know the bug has bit.

This is way off subject but I am working on the specs for a 600rwhp f body. Oops the cats out of the bag. That logo isn't under my name for looks.

The manifold looks like an early Edelbrock Torquer.

Here you to Tom

Here is a topview pic of the helicoil installed on the manifold. It was bright outside so it came out kind of fuzzy.

Here is a sideview of the helicoil installed, and a much better pic. Its a lot more visible from this angle.

Here is the kit I bought and all the components that came with it minus 1 helicoil

Great pics. Thanks. I'll see what I can put together.
