None this winter ... it's just been too stinkin' cold here in Michigan to work on it. With temps starting to come back up over the next few weeks, I hope to be back into in by Mid-March. I'll post up more progress reports after that. Edited by amundaza - Feb/11/2011 at 3:26pm |

Work & school is finally slowing down to the point where I can get back into the project. Tonight I powdercoated up an Offy Dual Port intake, for starting out on the engine, as well as a set of the AMC Legend valve covers, from www.bulltear.com
I finally found a powder that is "close enough" to AMC EN66 Metallic blue engine paint, used on a variety of AMC engines (like my 304 stroker). While it is close, it is not close enough for a concorse or high-dollar show car ... it just a bit deeper turqois color, with a more gloss, than EN66.
Since this is a TRANSPARENT TEAL, I first put down a basecoat of extreme chrome, cured for 10 minutes, then put down the top coat of teal and cured for another 10 minutes.

My scorpion kit did not come with the guide plates - where did you get yours? Also, do you remember about how long the push rods needed to be for these rockers? Both ends - are balls I assume?

so how did this hold up long term did you see the 20mpg you were targeting? doyou think the detonation grooves helped . could you run more lead and more total timing without hammering the bearings out how was the driveability was it a screamer or a stump puller . i know this is an old thread but iots got alot of interesting content.

Very interesting thread! I am interested in building a 304 stroker also. I am also a former FISH carb dealer/installer from the 1980's and still have 4 or 5 old FISH carbs including two 700cfm 2" models. I used to use the 700cfm carb on the 401 in my 76 Cherokee for many years - worked great in a FSJ. Even passed emissions testing with it in Los Angeles. One thing I noticed was you were using an aluminum adapter. Brown switched to a non-metalic adapter for heat isolation so as not to boil the fuel out of the float bowl following engine shutoff. Anyway, I'd like to pick your brain on 304 stroker design in the future, you obviously did your homework. I started a new thread today on the subject before I found this one.

Hey Wes,
Nice to see you're considering a 304 stroker and that you're a Fish Carb Fan. I shot you a PM on www.ifsja.org so that you could give me a call over the weekend.
