I always wondered how a Taylor front half would go on anything from a 2.7 block and up with just carbs even the original carbs?
it that an easy path for more power at higher revs?
Bush says the front half is a small piece of the puzzle. They will help but there is no miracle setup, its about 1000 little things that make power and take eons to do correctly.
Gary- Any updates or are you still in moving mode?
Making headway.
My pistons spent 2 wks waiting on my machinist before going some place else. They had them back to me the next day but I did pay the going rate to have them done there..
$168. but that ain't bad.
I left an additional .010" on these to tighten up my squish band a bit.
Kevin, yes. Been working on the new place every day, all day for the last month. Trying to get the motor together before losing my compressor w/the move until I build my garage and then pole barn.
*EDIT*
Forgot, here's a couple pix's. Cut pistons and the cut stocker I drilled through to check dome thickness.
And powerabout, if you mean the X front 1/2 they do make more power but are a bitch to get the linkage set up correctly and near impossible to get them to open in sync.

sounds good tho started real quick and sounded pretty stout:thumbsup:
Very cool Beef. Good luck.
Pistons look great but I like short skirts ;) :D
Beefs lit off hope to get the gordon/timing advance/yamaha choke solenoid done today. That should help us find the thin spot in these domes :p
Squish ended up slightly tighter then I thought (rookie mistake) but only .003 should be fine, there is no part numbers to transfer on these pistons :D
How much port work did you guys do in that thing kevin? Just some routine cleanup or?:cool:. Mid bore carbs?
Maxwell said they scream a lot!!!
Kinda like a merc!!!!!!
Resume on im done picking!!! I think i really maybe a omc man at heart just cant afford what i want yet!!! Cant wait to see how this build goes
