Re: 62 Chevrolet, STILL No Traction
Rory, do you know how bad I'd like to see a western Canadian 409 car in the 10's ?!!!!!
Can you imagine how much I'd like to see the picture ? To give you an idea of how this is going .... Your webpage link is dead ! just ADDING to the frustration ! BTW... With the distributor internals phased properly, this thing sure starts better ! Won't be going anywhere for a while though.

Re: 62 Chevrolet, STILL No Traction
aaaaah, THERE we are now....
went for a test of the engine ( for miss ) One thing hadn't gone wrong yet... now... wiped out no. 3 intake lobe on the cam ( something seems to have happened to the Schubeck lifter... VERY low in the lifter bore ) I've been building engines for myself and many other people, for 31 years. NEVER lost a cam. If there was going to be a first time, it WOULD be with THIS car ! Camshaft ? I have another, same profile, 110 centreline separation instead of 108. No problem Schubeck lifters ? well... see you next year ! Thank YOU, Novaman and Rory... Certainly looks like THAT's where a career stick-shift driver should be !

Re: 62 Chevrolet, STILL No Traction
Wow, major bummer on the cam/lifter! Let us know what you find when you tear it down. Hopefully the debris didn't hurt anything else.

Aubrey,,, I hope you can make it down here,, but if you don't I understand. I hope you can get your problems ironed out. I'd love to see the car at perhaps, next years Mission divisional race,, good luck and hang in there.
Rory,,, I'm glad to hear you're coming along this year with the group! I'll make sure to look you up Saturday night,,, however feel free to come up in the tower and say "hello". Danny Durham ( sorry guys,,I have Powerglide!LOL!!) |

Skip the Shubecks, and the wait. Go get a set of DLC coated tool steel lifters from PPPC or Performance Research. If it did break the Shubeck, I hope it didn't kill the rest of the engine. The debris from those things is horrendous.

Re: 62 Chevrolet, STILL No Traction
Yes guys, I am concerned about that.
Should pull the intake today. But I'll tell ya'... if I wasn't discouraged before... I sure am now. After waiting for my -pre-paid crankshaft machning for 5+ months, I spent the entire month of July, assembling the car, and attempting to get it working. No time with the kids, no outings, nothing... and the WHOLE TIME it was 85-95 degrees ! Can't afford to put anymore money or time in this car this summer.

Re: 62 Chevrolet, STILL No Traction
SURE ENOUGH !
No. 3 intake ... Schubeck lifter... "puck" shattered. hasn't run long since it happened, but I can see that the fragments would have went EVERYWHERE. This block is honed to the size limit. Would this crap have damaged cylinder walls ?
