I've had mine over 7000 on a burnout. I used to shift it at 6700. Slant rods are alot tougher than they get credit for.

My fan is a 3 1/2" thick at the motor and is 14" wide. Two 10's would be plenty also I'm sure. |

Thanks for sharing. Inspiring stuff. Seymour's (my) white 62 Valiant would fit right in with those guys... Would need to uncork the exhaust, of course. Lou |

They really believe in long headers down there. Thanks for posting. |

Yeah, they are not afraid to rev the beejeezes out of them either. There's a video of a early valiant turning 6 grand on a on ramp for the local freeway. There is another of a 225 with EFI along with a ITB intake with a claimed 380hp. I can't find that one again. I guess it helps when you don't have a bunch of BB guys telling you are wasting your money on the \6. |

Given the forces involved with the long stroke, it is amazing how much RPM the 225 can take, if properly set up. My rev limits: - 5600 on my 68 Dart (stock rebuild in 1989, nothing fancy) - 6000 on my old 64 motor (stock rods and cast pistons, but balanced and loose clearances, saw 6200 occasionally) - 6200 on cast crank motor for 64 Dart (saw 6800 in burnouts a few times, only one with forged pistons) - 6200 on long rod (stock 198s) in Project V Only one bearing failure in 30 yrs and that was due to oil starvation (check the oil before autocrossing, dude!). Project V saw 6600 once or twice at my last track outing when downshifting (oops). Lou |

My present motor is a cast crank, stock rod, cast piston deal.

You'all must be wrong, the fabo experts say there is no way a 225 can turn over 4800 rpm. |

So I bought a clutch kit. I carefully researched the available candiates and placed my order and I get a 10.5" clutch kit instead of the 10" one I thought I had bought. Now I need to return it at my cost plus a 15% restocking fee. So what are my options? I have a complete 11" setup. But the a833 doesn't bolt on and dusteridiot says it won't fit in my '65. I have a F-Body aluminum bell housing and clutch fork. But that has it's own problems. Mostly with the Z-bar and piviot points. And my good ole '64 setup that I have been using forever. The current clutch setup is a SPEC 9.25 Stage 2. I didn't have the problems, that others experienced. Not sure why. I guess I was lucky? But it has worn to the point that I need to replace the disk and throwout bearing. I usually replace this stuff as a unit and I guess the SPEC clutch is still available. So in the morning I guess I'll stop by the UPS Store and see how much it will cost to ship back and try again. |
