Title: 86C before junior gets here? up from FK45 Post by: Jim Ratto on December 27, 2007, 00:17:21 am I have 5-6 months left to get into it. I loved 86C in my 2276.
yes? No? Title: Re: 86C before junior gets here? up from FK45 Post by: louisb on December 27, 2007, 00:27:27 am Why are you wasting time posting here when you could be out pulling the engine. :D

When the 86b went flat I went back to a K8 and never looked back. The 86c and others similar are great for high HP, but for a driver I just want the torque and the upper level HP I get with the K8. It will pull from under 2000 rpm in 5th gear. That's what I like.....!

You know all about how my car works. John, I know you have trunkloads of free time to come way up to Simi and help me lift, clean parts, dial stuff in......right? :) Title: Re: 86C before junior gets here? up from FK45 Post by: John Rayburn on December 27, 2007, 18:46:18 pm How about I paint a mural of your engine with the cam already installed....

I know between all of us we can replicate 7000 plus.

Sweet! Title: Re: 86C before junior gets here? up from FK45 Post by: Casey on December 27, 2007, 20:23:35 pm Sounds familiar. 86c, baby on the way, painting baby's room(on Christmas day) making engine sounds up to 7k (gotta do it!). You guys practice your reactions times at stop lights too?! If you ride in my truck, you better bring a neck brace.
Go with the 86c. When and if you split it open, please let us know how the lifter bores held up. That is one reason I went with the 86c. Later.

Later. motor's been quiet, so I assume everything is a-ok inside, no ticking, knocking, etc. I noticed, when I ran 86C before, it was really quiet, valvetrain wise. But so was the FK87 I ran too. I'm curious how the cam/lifter faces look.....after my last go round. See you @ Nicks. Jim |
