Buick Engine - Bulldozer TorqueWritten by on May 19, 2006 Contributors: Johnny Hunkins Buick long known for stump pulling grunt are still alive and well, thanksthe the crew at Automotive Machine & Performance
At the height of the "golden era" of performance, the Buick name brought recognition and status. Unlike today, a world where there is little to differentiate one brand from another, choosing a GM product in the '50s and '60s meant finding your place in the hierarchy. At the top level of opulence and indulgence were the Cadillacs, while the Buick offered prestigious transportation, but at a less ostentatious level. Let the rock stars and celebs drive a Caddy, the Buick owner portrayed success without having anything to prove. Another interesting facet of the era was that, at least at GM, each division designed and produced engines of its own. The engines were as distinguished and unique from the other divisions as was the styling. It was before the time when corporate standardization led to "corporate engines," and Buicks came with a Buick engine, while Chevrolet's powerplants were only found in Chevys. It may seem
inefficient today to consider that GM was producing unique 455 Pontiacs, 455 Oldsmobiles, 455 Buicks, and 454 Chevrolets--four engines within 1 cubic inch of displacement--all at the same time. Thankfully they did, and as a result we can now revel in our favorite big-blocks of the era.
Buick, being a status brand, was highly competitive in the drive to design and manufacture state-of-the-art engines that were both refined and powerful. The seminal "nailhead" OHV engine was introduced in 1953, and it became instantly popular with performance fans in countless applications, from custom hot rods, to Mickey Thompson's four-engine drag wagon. With the cutting-edge overhead-valve nailhead, Buick was rightfully proud of the effortless torque production that was characteristic of a Buick powerplant. Fat low-end torque, and lots of it, was the perfect companion to the easy cruising and powerful Buick style. Buick capitalized on the impressive torque by designating their engines by their prodigious torque production, with names like "Wildcat 455" assigned to the 455 ft-lb 401 nailhead used in the '64 Gran Sport.
By the mid '60s, the nailhead was becoming outdated, and Buick went about designing a new series of engines based upon modern casting techniques and design trends. The result was the "modern" family of big-block Buick engines introduced in 1967. These new and thoroughly modern engines feature major improvements in the cylinder head design, with improved ports and larger valves. The new-design Buick V-8 created power potential far beyond the capabilities of the nailhead.
The pinnacle of the era of Buick performance ushered by the new powerplant was achieved in 1970, when Buick pulled out the performance stops, and stuffed the gargantuan 4.310-inch bore, 3.900-inch stroke, 455 cubic-inch mill into the intermediate GS. The GS455 in that year was available with the mighty Stage 1 455, with a conservatively rated 360 hp at 4,600 rpm, but more notably, an unreal 510 lb-ft of torque, coming in at a locomotive-like 2,800 rpm. This Buick powerplant produced more torque than was available in any production GM vehicle, and that included the best from Chevy, Pontiac and Oldsmobile. In 1970, the Buick was exceeded in outright torque only by the much larger 472 and 500 cubic-inch Cadillac engines, though even these did not match the low-end bulldozer torque of the mighty Buick.
After the high watermark of 1970, the tightening noose of emissions, fuel economy, and insurance regulations saw a progressive decline in the Buick engine. The 455 displacement was dropped after 1976, by which time the output had suffered greatly. The story may have ended there, were it not for the legendary performance of these classic machines. A loyal following of Buick enthusiasts kept the faith with Buick restoration and performance. Interest in Buicks has never waned, and these days it's possible to build Buick power like never before.
Automotive Machine & Performance in Philpot, Ky., is a shop recognized for its expertise in Buick Performance. The company primarily does Buick crate engines, and we were fortunate to have them participate in last year's Engine Masters Challenge, Popular Hot Rodding magazine's annual engine-building competition. Mike Phillips of Automotive Machine had this to say about the Buick's continued popularity: "The Buick makes big horsepower for what it is. It's a small motor compared to the other engines of similar displacement, 50 to 75 pounds lighter than the Ford or Chevrolet big-blocks. The characteristic of the motor is that it was made for an Electra 225, not for racing. The Gran Sports were such popular cars, and there are a lot of them left. Someone is needed to build these motors the way guys want them. Filling that need is what we primarily do." When asked what customers want, Mike replied: "More and more horsepower."
The Buick stroker brought to compete in the Engine Masters Challenge was built for a customer, Mike Bachorsky, for street use in a '70 Buick GS that is currently being restored. This engine's foundation is a factory-production 1976 Buick 455 block. On this particular engine, the bores cleaned up from the factory size of 4.312 inch to 4.325 inch with just a honing. Combined with a 4.325-inch stroke, the basic configuration is square, and displaces 508 cubic inches. Buicks are known for having thin blocks. Mike had this to say: "They are thin. This is a 1976-model block, which is better than the earlier blocks--the bore centers are more consistent. We sonic check all the blocks we build and this one was fairly even in bore thickness. You just have to make sure you start with a good block. The weaknesses are in the main webbing, cylinder bores, and the lifter bores. You have to beef it up everywhere to make it withstand the pressure you put on it."
Mike continued, "T/A performance makes the block girdle that just about eliminates the problem with the main webbing stiffness, but that's not a cure-all for it. We've seen some blocks split right up through the oil hole, right up the cam journal, even with the girdle. We haven't had this kind of failure happen to us." Philips speculates that some of the problem might be in how the block girdle is installed. Automotive Machine seems to have found a technique that works. The secret is in the clearances and consistently setting up and torquing the girdle during all machining operations.
For some engines built with extreme output in mind, block filling can also add a measure of insurance. Mike decided against filling on this engine, "We do it on some engines, and I was kind of torn between doing a partial fill or not. I thought because we only honed the bores and it was near the factory size on the cylinder wall this was a good block to start with, so I did not fill it. This block sonic checked really well for a production piece, with 0.140 inches of wall thickness. Anytime we fill one, we don't do it like we would a Chevrolet, we do what is called a short fill. The way the head bolts are, they go into the water jacket so far--you have to be careful."
Residing in the block is a custom cross-drilled billet crank from Moldex, which is one of the few companies that do a Buick crank. Moldex is equipped with the CNC programs to fabricate these cranks, and considering the Moldex reputation for excellence, they are a fine choice. The crank is, as expected, fully profiled, and features Buick mains, and big-block Chevy rod journals. The rod journal specification allows the use of commonly available aftermarket rods for the Chevrolet application. This engine uses a set of 6.800-inch Eagle H-beam rods, with custom JE 23cc dish reverse-dome pistons, for a compression ratio of 11.3:1. With the Chevy spec rods, the piston pin diameter is also Chevy-sized, at 0.990 inch. The rings are also JE, a set with conventional 1/16-inch widths for the compression rings, and 3/16-inch low-tension oil rings. All the bearings, including the rods, mains, and cam bearings, are coated from Calico.Capping the capable short-block is a set of T/A Stage 2 Track Eliminator heads, which feature a 14-degree valve angle. Buick expert David Wink does all the porting and modifying of the heads, and the result of the effort plays a major role in the engine's output. Wink undertook an intensive development program on these castings, playing with valve sizes to find a combination of 2.250-inch intake and 1.750-inch exhaust valves as the optimal set-up. The fully prepped heads certainly turned impressive numbers, moving a peak of 355 cfm through the intake ports. The induction compliments the high capacity of the heads. An SP2 manifold comes CNC port-matched from T/A Performance and is hand-massaged by Automotive Machine. The finishing touch is a 1095-cfm King Demon carb. Mike reports a peak recorded intake manifold vacuum of 1.1 in-hg at wide-open throttle, recorded at maximum rpm while testing.
Commenting on the heads, Mike informed us, "There's not much you can do with the port because of the pushrod location. You can't widen it on the inside because of the other port, and you can't widen it on the pushrod side because of the pushrod. So what we do is drill out the pushrod hole before we start, and we go ahead and put a brass sleeve in it. That way we can port all the way to the sleeve and we don't have to worry about hitting oil. At the center head bolt, we drill that out and put a .75-inch steel sleeve in it, so when we thin it out we still have the steel. If you thin that thing out too much, you'll actually waffle the intake port, so you have to have the steel in there. We try to keep some swirl in the heads because of the rpm we run the engines at. With these bigger street engines, we usually run no more than 6,500 rpm."
A flat-tappet cam from Lazer Cams operates the valves, and it is a fairly substantial profile, with 266/271 degrees duration at 0.050-inch tappet rise on the intake and exhaust lobes respectively. The cam's action is multiplied by a set of 1.6:1 roller rocker arms from T/A Performance. The combination yields 0.652/0.657-inch lift at the valves.
We were very impressed with the street-bound Buick's 713 hp output, and 667 lb-ft of torque. Considering that the output is achieved with a stock production block, a moderate compression ratio, and a flat-tappet camshaft, it is truly mechanical testimony to back up Buick's reputation.

Automotive Machine & Performance's Mike Phillips and David Wink have reason to be proud of their mighty Buick. These guys have earned their reputation as experts with these brawny Buick beasts.Big-block Buicks are known to be among the most attractive engines when built for performance. Automotive Machine & Performance's 508 cubic-inch version is as powerful as it is beautiful.The front accessories are based upon the OEM configuration, with a remote electric drive for a production-style mechanical water pump. Note the billet oil pump from Scavenger Oil Systems.In a high-powered application, the spark has to be reliable, powerful and accurate. Automotive Machine relied on a full compliment of MSD components, including the billet distributor, control box, coil and wires.The crowning jewel on this burly Buick is a King Demon RS carb. The carb capacity was set to 1,095 cfm by installing the appropriately sized venturi sleeves, possible with Demon's unique replaceable venturi system.The carb feeds a single-plane intake manifold from T/A Performance, which was in turn modified by Automotive Machine. A 2-inch spacer under the carb adds to the plenum volume, an advantage with the engine's large displacement.
The proponents of Buick power took a huge step forward with the introduction of the Stage 2 Track Eliminator head castings from T/A Performance.Beneath the valve covers hides a set of T/A Performance's bulletproof shaft-mounted roller rockers. The ratio is a conservative 1.6:1, but it is enough to boost the flat-tappet cam's lift to over 0.650-inch.Once the intake manifold is removed, extensive epoxy work to the lifter valley comes into view. The flat-tappet cam from Lazer has proven to be reliable, and creates no shortage in outright power.Between the intake manifold and the lifter valley is a sheet aluminum heat shield, which separates the underside of the manifold from hot oil splash, saving potentially lost horsepower.Automotive Machine employed serious modifications to bring the intake port cross-section to the maximum size, given the constraints of the Buick's architecture. The pushrod pinch point was sleeved, as was the central head bolt boss, as part of the all-out porting effort.The chamber side of the T/A heads reveals an open chamber configuration, with a deep, central, plug location. Automotive Machine made the most of the available space with a 2.250/1.750-inch valve combination.Buttoning up the bottom end is a fabricated aluminum oil pan from SRE Fabrications. The pan features a built-in windage tray. No further crank windage control was deemed necessary. The pan features a single external pick-up.The external pick-up from the pan feeds a high-capacity billet oil pump from Scavenger Oil Systems, which feeds oil to a remote-mounted oil filter assembly. The lubrication system performed flawlessly. Mike reports strong oil pressure from idle through maximum rpm.
Working opposite the chambers in the modified heads are a set of custom JE pistons. The pistons are custom JE pieces, with a reverse-dome configuration giving a 23cc dish configuration.Pulling the pistons out of the bores, we find a conventional high-performance ring package from JE, consisting of 1/16-inch compression rings and 3/16-inch low-tension oil rings. The piston pin is a Chevy-spec 0.990-inch diameter part.Long 6.800-inch Eagle H-beam connecting rods help reduce the cylinder loading on the factory Buick block. The rods are off-the-shelf units for a big-block Chevy application.Looking at the bearings shows the tell-tale black sheen of an anti-friction coating. All of the bearings used in this engine are coated sets from Calico.

The verb わかる can be written using either 分かる, 判る, or 解る - what's the semantic difference between these forms, if any?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The answer lies in the kanji. This data is from EDICT/Jim Breen's kanji lookup:
分かる is clearly the most common - just to know or understand something:
解る implies understanding of a problem, not simple knowledge.
Which implies to me that you solved the problem. If I read the same sentence with 分かりました, I might not think twice -- but it could also mean that you didn't spend any time solving it at all; you already knew how to solve it (and therefore did so immediately).
判る is probably the least common use I've seen in the wild.
Because the word "judgement" is connected to it, ala 判断 (はんだん), so if a judgement was made that something WAS something, that might be 判る. A cursory Google search yielded this Yahoo! page which indicated the same.
DISCLAIMER: These sentences and translations are my own, and I'm no translator, nor a native speaker!
First, before getting into the semantic difference, it's worth noting that 分かる is rarely written with the two alternate kanji you listed. The general consensus (after searching through several Japanese Q&A sites, since this is a question that native Japanese have about their own language) is that 分かる is universal enough to cover all situations. (And if you're not sure, you can always resort to わかる, which is perfectly acceptable.)
This said, the difference can be summed up as follows:
As you can see, there's some overlap between 分かる and 解る, and depending on the context you could substitute them for each other. But while most people may be able to read all three versions, the safe choice is to stick with 分かる unless you have a good reason not to.

Lauki ka Halwa(Sorakaaya/Bottlegourd halwa)
The other day i was just checking my drafts and came through this post which was pending in my drafts from so many days and was seeking my attention.I had prepared this on the occasion of my FIL's Birthday last month.
Hubby is not a great fan of this vegetable and as long as he does not recognize its form in any food stuff he does not mind eating it,otherwise its a big no....no to this vegetable.But considering the health benefits of this vegetable i try to include this in our daily food in various forms like in vegetable juices,koftas,parathas,rotti's,kheer and halwa.
I tasted this for the first time at my friends place,till then i did not even know that one can prepare halwa even with lauki.I just fell in love with the bright green color of this lovely halwa which is quite different from the regular halwa's.(It retains its green color if it is not cooked for a long time). I prepared this halwa in a similar manner like how i prepare carrot halwa, the outcome was just out standing and this just melts in the mouth and i hope it would also taste fantastic with Ice cream......and here comes the recipe.
1 Lauki(bottle gourd) peeled,de-seeded and grated
1 cup milk
1/2 tin Condensed milk(200ml approx)
4 tbsp Sugar(add it accordingly)
2 tbsp chopped cashew nuts
2 tbsp flaked almonds
2 tbsp flaked pistachios
2 tbsp raisins
4 tbsp ghee
cherries for decoration(optional)
Add milk and grated bottle gourd to the cooker.Close cooker and bring to full pressure on high heat and remove cooker immediately from heat.
Release the pressure immediately and open it(or you can cook the lauki in milk on a stove top which is bit time consuming).
Place the cooker on high heat,add sugar and condensed milk and cook until the liquid dries up(approx for 15-20 mins) stirring occasionally.
Add ghee and cook till ghee separates from the mixture(this takes approx 10 mins),stirring constantly.
Heat ghee in a small pan fry cashews and raisins and add this to the halwa,add flaked badam/almonds and pistachios and mix everything.
Serve hot garnished with flaked almonds and pistachios.(I used a cherry also in the picture) or with ice cream.
I am sending this to the event Mithai Mela hosted by srivalli of Cooking 4 all seasons.

Mmm, looks good, and it has vegetables in it so it must be healthy, right?! I make halwa with courgette (zucchini) in a similar way, and then freeze it to make halwa ice cream - it sounds strange but tastes amazing!

The annual trek of area ghosts and goblins, pirates and princesses, will commence early Wednesday evening in many area communities.
Children will parade through our neighborhoods in the trick-or-treating quest for all things candy, so parents are reminded to make safety a priority.
Following some common-sense rules will ensure a safe and happy Halloween for everyone.
Parents should always accompany young children or make sure an adult or responsible teenager is with them when going door to door. Local police and law enforcement agencies will be patrolling, but they can't be everywhere.
And youngsters should be reminded of a few rules before they go out trick-or-treating. Make sure they carry a flashlight and have reflective material on costumes. Remember, costumes shouldn't restrict movement.
Youngsters should wear masks that don't restrict vision, and masks shouldn't be worn when walking from house to house.
Children always should go house to house in groups, and in rural areas where there aren't sidewalks, children and adults accompanying them should walk on the left side of the road facing traffic.
It's important to note that children should stay in familiar neighborhoods and only visit homes where the porch light is on.
Adults must remember that youngsters should not be on streets and only cross streets at intersections. Too often children have been struck by cars and seriously injured or killed during trick-or-treating because they have darted into traffic at night.
And parents should make sure a costume is made of flame-retardant material. Also, at the end of the evening when the children return home with bags of candy, parents should inspect the candy, and anything that looks suspicious should be thrown out.
Motorists, too, should exercise extreme caution during trick-or-treat hours. First off, know trick-or-treat hours in your neighborhood, and drive more slowly to prevent accidents.
Homeowners often are overlooked when the discussion turns to precautions for Halloween safety, but those who wish to participate in the yearly tradition should make sure their yards are clear of such things as ladders, hoses, dog leashes and flower pots or anything that can trip youngsters.
With all this said, have a safe and happy Halloween.

Watertown Hundreds support Brieanna Rose's scholarship fund
The Antonio and Dassatti families
The Greater Watertown/ Waterbury community came together to support the second annual Brieanna Rose Antonio 5K Memorial Walk on Aug. 11. About 200 friends and family came out to support Brieanna's scholarship fund and St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Once again, we met our goal of raising more than $12,000. Our thanks go to the Watertown Board of Education, for once again allowing us to use the track at Watertown High School; Frankie's, for supplying the hot dogs; DJ International, for providing announce- ments and music; Crystal Rock, for bottled water; and the many local businesses that donated raffle prizes. The Memorial Walk would not have been possible without the countless hours of so many volunteers who helped with signs, food preparation, registration, setup and so many other tasks. We thank all for their support. We look forward to seeing you all next year.

Unanswered: Text Field in the header of a column
Is it possible to add a textfield (xtype:'textfield') to the header of a Ext.grid.Panel? Basically what I need is a 2 row column header where 1 row has the label and 1 row has a text field (order is not important). When the label is clicked the column should be sorted but when the textfield is clicked it shouldn't.
I tried the following but I'm getting this error: "headers[i].setSortState is not a function"
var grid = Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', { store: store, columns: [{ layout: 'form', items:[ { xtype: 'textfield', fieldLabel: '<b>Test Label', name:"name_field", width:230 }] } ], height: 350, width: 600, title: 'Names', renderTo: 'data-table', viewConfig: { stripeRows: true } });

And, as always, fans and reporters were on Twitter and other social networks. Read the MyCommunityNOW Storify social media story of the game.
Panthers flash other facets in downing Vikings
New Berlin West knew that the unbeaten Greendale Panthers had an outstanding offense. But in Friday night's 44-7 win by Greendale, it was the defense and special teams which stood out.
"When your defense and special teams are scoring a lot of points, things are going pretty well," Panthers coach Rob Stoltz said. "We had a fumble return for a touchdown, an interception for a touchdown and a blocked punt for a touchdown."
Now add to that quarterback Josh Ringelberg and the dynamic duo of Mitchell Brees and Cody Kmetz (6-for-50, TD) had their aerial circus going and the Vikings didn't have much of a chance.
Ringelberg, who had an off-night by his high standards, completed 17-of-24 passes for 179 yards and 3 touchdowns, but West picked him off three times.» Read Full Article
Kitten killed after being thrown out car window
A 911 caller reported a kitten was run over and killed by a vehicle after people in another vehicle threw it out the window while driving.
According to the Oak Creek police report, which was released this week:
A 911 caller at 7:55 a.m. Aug. 2 called and reported someone tossed a black kitten out of a vehicle that was driving northbound on Howell Avenue and Oak Leaf Drive. The caller said the kitten was run over and killed by another vehicle.
The caller said the suspect vehicle, a mid-90s white GMC with tinted windows, tossed the kitten out of the rear passenger side window and he swerved and missed it, but the vehicle behind him drove over it. The caller told police he didn't know how many people were inside the car due to the tinted windows and was unable to get the license plate number.

Franklin rallies to beat Oak Creek in 'Helmet Game'
What was it about this particular Friday night?
Maybe it was the full moon or the fact that the Oak Creek bus failed to show up before the game, forcing the Knights players to drive to the crowded Franklin parking lot themselves?
Or maybe people should have known something was up during the national anthem, when an official raced in to prevent an American flag from tipping over off its stand at midfield, a gesture that earned the official a proper round of applause.
Or maybe it was the simple fact that it was just Oak Creek-Franklin football in all its wacky mid-season madness.
How else could you explain the Sabers crazy come-from-behind 14-6 victory? A game that included an inadverent onside kick, a blocked punt, a Franklin touchdown called back by not one but two penalties on a single play, and enough penalties, especially on the Sabers, to make the officials' arms tired from throwing so many flags?» Read Full Article

Greendale seizes control of Woodland Conference
Greendale football coach Rob Stoltz feels his team has a lot more to give than what it mustered Friday in a crucial Woodland West battle against Pewaukee. But that doesn't mean his explosive offense was struggling to score.
The Panthers led by as many as 20 points in the fourth quarter, and though the Pirates scratched back within six points at the 39-second mark, an ensuing onside kick drifted out of bounds, and the Panthers walked away with a 34-28 victory at Greendale.
Running back Jake Zywicki ran for 122 yards and three touchdowns, and quarterback Josh Ringelberg threw for 208 yards and two touchdowns as Greendale won the battle of 3-0 teams and snapped Pewaukee's 18-game regular-season winning streak.
"We gave them every opportunity to get back in the game," Greendale coach Rob Stoltz said. "Not once, not twice, repeatedly, all second half. That's what you get when you play Pewaukee; they're a phenomenal program, very well coached. You talk about getting 100 percent out of the players, they do it.» Read Full Article
South Milwaukee remains undefeated beating Brown Deer, 29-14
Is history being made by the South Milwaukee football program?
Veteran coach John Galewski will wait and see.
"I can't remember the last time we've been 4-0," said Galewski moments after the Rockets pitched a 15-0 second half shutout en route to beating visiting Woodland Conference rival Brown Deer, 29-14 Friday night. "We're in uncharted territory."
But that territory has a chance to expand, thanks to strong and determined effort by the Rocket offensive line and a revitalized effort by the defense that limited the Falcons to just 16 total yards on the first four possessions in the second half after Brown Deer had gained over 270 in the first half.
Add into the fact that Brown Deer had three turnovers that the Rockets turned into 14 points, and Falcon coach Rob Green had an easy explanation why his young team (just 15 seniors) fell from the unbeaten ranks (3-1) tonight.» Read Full Article

Mopar 440 Engine Power Upgrade - 440 Power PlayWritten by on January 1, 2003 Bolt-Ons Can Add Big Power To A Stock 440
Having a 440 car comes with a certain distinction. After all, the torquey 440 was one of the largest production engines offered in a factory musclecar, and there's no debating that the factory moved those heavy bruisers with ease. The "440 Magnum" emblems on the hood of our '71 Charger R/T gave ample warning to would-be contenders that there was a lot of engine under the hood. But in today's mean streets, the factory package isn't always enough to keep the more serious street rats at bay. Sure, it's unfair to compare a dead-stock musclecar to the hopped-up street warriors roaming the boulevard, but when the light turns green, there's no one hanging around to check the engine's date codes. Try as you might to keep a low profile, a Green-Go '71 R/T with full stripes and spoilers and those 440 emblems on the louvered hood just begs for a confrontation. Thus, we needed to ensure we were packing a serious punch.
The 440 in our Charger was something of an unknown quantity. The engine had already been rebuilt when the car was acquired, and we had little clue as to what was inside. Externally, the engine was stock, with the correct factory iron intake, carb, and exhaust manifolds. We investigated and found just over 0.450 inch of valve lift, so it would seem the cam was stock or near-stock in specs. The "factory" 440 combo gave us 252 hp at the rear wheels on Westech's chassis dyno, and with an upgrade in the exhaust system to headers and 211/42-inch duals, we had upped that to 280. We knew, however, that really busting out the big numbers would require getting inside and breaking out the serious hardware.
Planning Parameters
While turning a number in an unrestrained drag car is one thing, this Charger serves time strictly as a street car. We had power brakes, air conditioning, and day-to-day driveability considerations to contend with in choosing our package. We wanted to be able to pack up the car for the weekend, fill it with gas, and head out for a drive up the coast without scaring the kids. With those constraints, huge, lumpy cams and sky-high compression ratios were out, but we figured there was still plenty of room for improvement with conventional mods. Since the engine was fairly fresh, the short-block would remain untouched, but we would hit the key areas of heads, cam, and induction to really make this 440 come to life.
The 440's response with the absence of much cam duration indicates that an exceptional set of heads must be a big part of the buildup program. Back in our shop, collecting dust on the shelf, was a set of fully ported 452 iron heads, which delivered well over 300 cfm of airflow. We had used these several years ago as a pair of port-development heads. After extensive rework and testing, the port flow was outstanding. Having no further plans to use them in engine R and D, we figured why not put them to use on the Charger's 440? Would they be our first recommendation for a buildup today? In a word, no. If we hadn't already had them ready to run, we would have looked toward an aftermarket head.
Frankly, with the variety of aftermarket offerings available today, the economics of reworking an old set of iron heads is upside down. Duplicating the port flow would require porting from the best cylinder head experts to the extent that the porting cost alone would likely exceed the price of a new set of aftermarket Edelbrock, Indy, or MP replacements. Besides porting, these 452s were machined for 2.14/1.81-inch valves, fitted with new bronze guides, machined for dual springs, machined for positive PC-type valve stem seals, flat-milled 0.060 inch on both the deck and intake face, cut with a custom Serdi valve job, and machined with a deshrouding cut to within 0.030 inch of the head-gasket line concentric with the valves. The valves were Speed-Pro units in the aforementioned sizes. They were modified with a back-cut on the intake valve and a radiused margin on the exhaust, as well as thermal barrier coating on the valves' heads, and an antirecession moly coating on the exhaust valves' face. We'd hate to calculate the hours of headwork wrapped up in these iron wonders.
Camshaft Considerations
We weren't exactly sure of the compression ratio of our subject, but a cranking compression of 165 psi with the current cam indicated that it wasn't likely high. For the sake of low maintenance and driveability, we wanted to go with a hydraulic grind and keep the duration fairly short, which would play well with a moderate-compression short-block. Although the duration would be conservative to meet our driveability goals, we wanted a significant amount of lift to tap into as much of our head's airflow as possible. This dictated that a dedicated, fast-rate 0.904-inch tappet grind would be the best choice. Mopar tappets, at a 0.904-inch diameter, are significantly larger in diameter than those found on most other engine families. With the larger tappet diameter, a faster rate of lift can be designed into a cam-shaft's lobes. We had tested some fast-rate Mopar grinds from Hughes Engines, and we were impressed with the results of maximizing the valve lift at a given level of duration.
When we had performed our initial testing of the Hughes cams, we were surprised by the outstanding output in a 440 with only the small 223/230 at 0.050 inch camshaft. We noticed that this camshaft exhibited good torque lower in the range and carried well into the upper revs despite its short duration. By the same token, the short duration provided the excellent idle quality and good vacuum we were after for our street 440. With a great balance of power output to road manners, the Hughes HL2330BL seemed to be the best choice for our street application. Specifications of this Hughes cam are 272/276 rated duration, 223/230 duration at 0.050 inch lift, 0.504/0.515 inch lift with the stock 1.5:1 rocker ratio, and a lobe separation angle of 110 degrees. When upping the ante to 1.6:1 aftermarket rockers, the valve lift increases to 0.538/0.549 inch.
Induction Inclinations
To top off our modification plans, we chose the old standby Holley Street Dominator single-plane intake. Though an older design, the Street Dominator has always proven to be an excellent intake on the 440, and it is well-finished right out of the box. The Street Dominator has good low-end response for a single-plane, yet dyno testing has shown it retains excellent output at higher rpm. For carburetion, an 850-cfm mechanical secondary Speed Demon carb was chosen to provide the required airflow for our large-displacement engine. Although many favor smaller carburetors for street applications, we have found that a well-set-up 440 consistently responds to the 850 configuration.
Turning Wrenches
With our plan in place and the parts on hand, the Charger was pulled into the shop and the wrench-turning began. Getting in for a camshaft change requires a full teardown of the front-end of the engine, including removal of the radiator and A/C condenser, if so-equipped, and all of the front accessories. Up top, the induction is easily removed; however, removing the heads is the most involved portion of the job. Getting to the outer row of head bolts requires unbolting the headers at the collectors and alternately jacking the engine at each side to provide the required clearance. There was quite a bit of anticipation when the first head was lifted from the block, which gave us our first chance to see with what pistons the engine had been built. We weren't surprised to find Speed-Pro PN 2266 flat-tops inside-a stock-replacement forged piston which, unfortunately, carries no valve notches and rests (by specification) at 0.089 inch down the hole at TDC. While we favor the Speed-Pro PN 2355 flat-tops set at zero-deck in a performance engine, the lower-compression 2266 seems to have been the favored piston of engine rebuilders over the years. The lower-than-ideal compression ratio reinforced our decision to use the relatively short-duration Hughes 2330 camshaft.
We had the engine down to a bare short-block in about half a day. The building process began with installing the Hughes camshaft and degreeing it in. We found that the intake centerline, when installed to the "0" timing marks, was at 109.5 degrees. We wanted to install the cam advanced to ensure both a clean idle and crisp throttle response. Oddly, in moving to the "A" position on the timing gear, which should have advanced the camshaft 4 degrees, we measured the centerline at 102.5, which was much more advance than we wanted to run.
To solve the problem, the camshaft gear was drilled at the indexing pin hole, and a 2-degree bushing was installed to provide a final centerline of 107.5. It shows the importance of degreeing in the cam so the installed centerline is actually measured, rather than depending on the timing marks. We lubed and installed a set of standard hydraulic lifters, PN 2011 from PAW.
Our cylinder heads were assembled with a set of Competition Cams' PN 911 single springs installed at 1.850 inches, which gives 141 pounds seat load and 346 pounds over the nose. Under the springs, Comp's PN 4700 spring locators were used to keep the spring from walking. Up top, we reused the Comp PN 732 titanium 10-degree retainers and SuperLocks-although overkill for our application, they had been on the heads before. The heads were torqued in place on top of standard Fel-Pro PermaTorque gaskets with the original head bolts, and the manifold was installed over a Fel-Pro PN 1215 intake gasket, which blocks the exhaust crossover.
Installing the Demon carb required some clearancing of the intake manifold at the choke well to clear the secondary linkage. Additionally, since Demon does not offer a Mopar throttle linkage arm, we had to do some minor adapting in this area. We found that an AFB universal Mopar linkage arm is close, so we installed it onto the Demon carb with a slight elongation of the mounting holes and a 0.250-inch spacer at the upper mounting bolt. The factory throttle linkage and kickdown arm accepted the new induction system without modification. With our hot rod parts in place, it was just a matter of bolting the headers back up and reinstalling the front accessories and peripherals. Then we were ready to run.
Spinning The Dyno
We fired up the 440 and found the idle quality comparable to the stock 440 we had disassembled only a short time before; however, when hitting the open road, there was no resemblance to what we had started with. The difference was astounding: The 440 pulled much more strongly up through the gears, with remarkable torque and a fantastic pull of power up top where the old setup would run flat. This combo really hauled, and we knew we'd come back with a healthy report from the dyno.
Before long we were back at Westech, and the Charger was again strapped to the SuperFlow's rollers. We had set the timing to a conservative 35 degrees total, and the Demon carb was still equipped with the stock 83/93 jetting. Right out of the chute, the Charger banged out a stout 362.2 hp at 5,040 rpm and 413.4 lb-ft of torque at 3,817 rpm. Our seat-of-the-pants reckoning hadn't deceived us; this thing had some oats. We made a quick change of the ignition timing to 39 degrees total and were immediately rewarded with 370.2 hp at 5,050 rpm and 413.9 lb-ft at 4,355 rpm. This was serious territory at the rear wheels for such a docile-running 440.
Next, we cracked open the Demon carb for a jet change. We installed a pair of 81s in the front and 90s in the rear, leaning the mixture a touch from the factory calibration. Lean was mean, and a turn of the rollers showed that output was up again, posting 377.2 hp at 5,156 rpm and 416 lb-ft at 4,488 rpm.
One of the key mods we wanted to make on the dyno was an upgrade from the stock 1.5:1 rockers and valvetrain to a set of Crane 1.6:1 roller rockers. Our ported heads could take all the lift the cam could dish out and translate it to more airflow and breathing, which should equate to more power. In fact, testing the heads showed they would keep gaining in airflow to well over 0.800 inch of lift, so we concluded that the more lift we could dial in the better. With the 1.5 rockers, the intake valves were seeing just over 0.5 inch of lift, while the 1.6s would bring it up to 0.538 inch-still a fraction of the head's capabilities, but a significant improvement in a street combination.
The stock rockers and pushrods were removed, and in their place we bolted in the Crane 1.6s with PAW chrome-moly pushrods. The lifter preload was set to a one-half turn past zero lash, and we were once again ready to test the results. As predicted, the higher ratio rockers had a favorable effect on the output, which now edged up to 387.1 hp at 5,290 rpm and 420 lb-ft at 4,483 rpm. Even more significant was the way the engine held on past peak power rpm. At 5,600 rpm, the 1.6 rockers added 35 rear-wheel horsepower
Our final test was to add a four-hole spacer under the carb. The four-hole will sometimes help smooth the small dips from the power curve, and it often adds to the torque output. We had enough clearance under the power-bulge hood of the Charger to run a 1-inch spacer with a 1-inch drop-base, open-element air cleaner leaving room to spare. The spacer did result in a slight improvement to the power curve, adding a couple of lb-ft of torque down low and boosting peak-output-to-horsepower at 5,214 rpm. Oddly, the spacer dropped a couple of lb-ft of torque at peak to 417.2 at 4,539 rpm.
With that, the Charger was unhooked from the rollers, and we packed up, satisfied that the old R/T was more than armed enough to handle all but the most threatening street confrontation. We had seen plenty of big-cammed, exotic big-block street engines on Westech's chassis dyno struggle to make 300 rear-wheel horsepower. Our 440 idled and drove almost as smoothly as a stocker, but with nearly 400 hp at the wheels, it packed an unbelievable whallop.

We wanted big power from our 440, which meant opening it up to get at the heart of the matter for a head, cam, and induction change. Can it be coaxed into cranking out huge output without noticeably impairing driveability? We were about to find out. To make room for the work to come, we pulled the A/C condenser, along with the radiator and shroud.We heaved off the 440 Magnum cast-iron intake and factory AVS carb. These things don't make the level of power we were after and, in fact, the 440 Magnum intake is the same lump found on low-performance 440s in New Yorkers and Imperials.Cylinder-head removal was the most difficult part of our buildup. To gain access to the outer head bolts, the headers needed to be dropped. Good, free-breathing heads are the key to making power, particularly if the camshaft choice is limited by driveability constraints.The previous owner had rebuilt the engine in this Charger, and we had no idea which pistons we would find inside. We had our first look inside the bores when the heads were lifted off. We found Speed-Pro PN 2266s, which seem to be in every older rebuild we tear down. Spec'd for a deck height of 0.089 inch in the hole, the slugs are low on compression and have no valve clearance notches. We weren't worried about piston-to-valve clearance with our short-duration cam, but we would have liked to have seen the pistons nearer the top of the bore. With Speed-Pro's PN 2355 flat-tops having valve notches and a much better deck height available at nearly the same price, we have to wonder what these engine builders are thinking when choosing slugs. Ours measured 0.080 inch at TDC.Our Hughes cam with 110-degree lobe separation is 5 degrees narrower than the stocker, which equates to 10 degrees at the crank. That should make for a much sharper power and torque curve. The duration at 0.050 inch is some 15 degrees longer on the intake, yet the seat timing is similar, so we should see a big improvement in output, but not much deterioration in idle. The Hughes stick has about 12 percent more lift, even with the same rocker ratio-another route to noticeable power gains.The cam was degreed in for an installed intake centerline of 107.5 degrees, which is 211/42 degrees advanced. We had to use an offset bushing in the cam gear to dial in the cam timing to the spec we were after.Our heads were a set of 452s we had used as test-and-research mules in a big-block head-port development program years ago. Fully ported and polished, the flow was well over 300 cfm, but the hours and expertise involved makes them a poor choice and nearly impossible to duplicate. With the release of numerous aftermarket aluminum replacement heads in recent years, new heads are the far better alternative.
Thermal barrier-coated and back-cut Speed-Pro valves along with Comp's 911 springs, cups, retainers, and locks, fill out the heads. The springs were set for an installed height of 1.850 inches, providing ample spring load for the aggressive hydraulic cam.After spotlessly cleaning the block's decks, the heads were bolted in place over Fel-Pro gaskets. With the pistons 0.080 inch down and the heads' chambers milled to 85 cc, the final compression ratio worked out to 9:1.We went with the time-proven Holley Street Dominator intake. We have found that it works really well despite being an older design.A Speed Demon 850 mechanical secondary carb got the nod for its ample flow capacity. The Holley manifold needed clearancing at the choke well to clear the linkage, and some adapting was required to install a Mopar linkage arm, which Demon currently does not offer. We used an accessory Carter linkage arm that fit with minor mods.On the road, the 440 felt extremely strong. On the dyno, we had 362 rear-wheel horsepower right off the bat. Adjusting the timing to 39 degrees at full mechanical advance boosted that number to 370.Leaning out the carb jetting to 81/90s ratcheted up output once more, to 377 hp. The 440 was pulling numbers that we would expect from a good street Hemi, and it was idling like a stocker.We had a strong suspicion that more lift would equal more power. We pulled the valve covers to make way for some Crane 1.6:1 rockers. A set of PAW's ball/cup 440 hydraulic cam pushrods went in first.

The election of the nation's first African-American president does not mean racial inequality is a thing of the past, argued civil rights scholars who gathered in April for the Paul Robeson Social Justice Conference.
The daylong conference, held at Jerome Greene Hall, was sponsored by the Black Law Students Association and focused on the theme "Thinking Outside of Race: Are We Ready?"
"Obama's genius was to suture ethnicity and race," said Professor Kendall Thomas, Columbia Law School's Nash Professor of Law and Director of the Center for the Study of Law and Culture. "But just because President Obama won the election, it doesn't make the issue of race moot in this country."
The event's keynote speaker, current NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund President and Director-Counsel John Payton, agreed. "We're not a post-racial society," he said.
Payton went on to discuss two recent U.S. Supreme Court cases dealing with issues of racial equality. In the case of Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District No. 1 v. Holder, the Supreme Court will reconsider the constitutionality of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits states that have long histories of racial discrimination from redrawing voting districts without Justice Department approval. In the second case, Ricci v. DeStefano, a group of white New Haven firefighters alleged that they were subject to discrimination. They qualified for promotions according to scores on an exam, but the results were thrown out because no minorities qualified.
Panelists at the Robeson conference also discussed ballot initiatives that seek to end affirmative action. Such initiatives have ended racial preferences at public universities and colleges in California, Washington, Michigan, and Nebraska.
"The initiatives take the language of the civil rights movement and hijack that language," said Professor Theodore M. Shaw, who served as director-counsel and president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund from 2004 to 2008.
In his keynote address, Payton summed up the day's discussion. "While there's significance in Obama's election, it's not the whole story," he said. "There's a lot more that this country needs to do."

I found a question on Stack Overflow, Is there a command that includes files in a project of Visual Studio 2010? that is interesting to me too, but with a slightly different focus.
It would somehow alter the original question or augment it, to include my thought in question to the question, but it would mostly add a duplicate to SO if I'm asking it again.
Would it be OK, to alter the question ( as a comment might not be regarded as a question ) or should one add a question with a link to the original?.
It is kind of a follow-up question, which is covered by Asking a follow-up question, but the author differs.

I'm really confused how I'd calculate this. I know it's the number of permutations of mississippi minus the number of permutations that contain psi, but considering there's repetitions of those letters, I'm not sure how I'd do it.
The property of "containing a word as a substring" is pretty hard for me to model mathematically without counting it out. I wonder if there is a nicer solution.
Anyway: basic strategy: count permutations of MISSISSIPPI - permutations of the form PSIXXXXXXXX - permutations of the form XPSIXXXXXXX - ... - permutations of the form XXXXXXXXPSI + permutations with two copies of the word PSI (note that we need not worry about permutations with three copies of the word PSI as there are only two Ps in MISSISSIPPI).
permutations of MISSISSIPPI = $\dfrac{11!}{4!4!2!}$
permutations of MISSISSIPPI starting with the word PSI = permutations of the remaining letters, which are MPSSSIII = $\dfrac{8!}{3!3!}$
we multiply this number by $9$ for the possible first positions of P.
Now we need to count the double-PSIs.
If there is a double-PSI, there are 21 possibilities for the location of the double-Ps $(1, 4)$ through $(1, 9)$, $(2, 5)$ through $(2, 9)$, ..., $(6, 9)$.
For each such possibility, the remaining letters are just permutations of MSSII of which there are $\dfrac{5!}{2!2!}$.
So the "final" answer, scare quotes because I've probably made a mistake, is
$$ \frac{11!}{4!4!2!} - 9\frac{8!}{3!3!} + 21\frac{5!}{2!2!} $$
You start out from the permutations of the whole set of letters, and work through eliminating repetitions. Let's start, working slowly.
Your set is composed of the letters in the word: $S={M,I,S,S,I,S,S,I,P,P,I}$ This set has cardinality (element count): $|S|=11$
This set has $P_{11}=11!=39916800$ permutations.
Now, you have to remove repetitions caused by permutations of the same letter. Imagine the permutation: MIIIISSSSPP. You'll have permutations that will look the same when:
How many of these will there be? It's a combinatorics sub problem. There are two Ps, four Ss and four Is, so you have $P_2=2!=2$ permutations for the Ps and $P_4=4!=24$ for the Is and again for the Ss. You have $2\times24\times24=1152$ permutations of equal letters, per pattern.
Note that these repetitions occur for every different pattern. You have $1152$ repetitions that result in MIIIISSSSPP, but you have another $1152$ that result in MIIIIPPSSSS. To remove the repetitions, you have to divide the $39916800$ obtained above by $1152$ instead of subtracting $1152$ from the $39916800$ (which is a common error for beginners).
So, by now, we know how many permutations without repetition there are of $S={M,I,S,S,I,S,S,I,P,P,I}$. There are $\frac{P_{11}}{P_2 \times P_4 \times P_4}=\frac{39916800}{1152}=34650$.
The last part is solving the sub problem of how many permutations of MISSISSIPPI contain PSI. This is quite simple. It's the same problem as above, but with this set $S={PSI,M,I,I,I,S,S,S,P}$. This set has cardinality 9, so has $P_9=9!$ permutations, from which we have to remove repetitions caused by swapping equal letters (three Is, three Ss). These repetitions are $P_3 \times P_3=3!\times3!=36$ per pattern, so just like before, we divide $\frac{P_9}{P_3 \times P_3}=10080$
Now, there's a bit of a snag. The permutations above will produce, for example, this pattern: PSIMIISSPSI. You'll notice that PSI appears twice. For each of these, there will be a repetition, when the first PSI is swapped with the last PSI. We have to remove these. How many are there? Again, the same method: $S={PSI,PSI,M,I,I,S,S}$ cardinality $|S|=7$ with repetitions caused by the two PSIs, the two Is and the two Ss. The number of permutations without repetition is $\frac{P_7}{P_2 \times P_2 \times P_2}=\frac{7!}{8}=630$.
The number of permutations of MISSISSIPPI that do contain PSI is $10080-630=9450$.
The final answer is the number of permutations without repetitions of MISSISSIPPI minus the number of permutations without repetition of PSI and the letters MIIISSSP, after removing the duplicates caused by two PSIs: $34650-(10080-630)=25200$.
Bar any calculation error, this is the answer.
The simplest solution is very similar to user29743's. The trick to counting permutations containing a given number of copies of "PSI" is to treat each "PSI" as a single symbol. We want
(# of permutations of MISSISSIPPI) - (# of permutations of [PSI]SSSIIIMP) + (# of permutations of [PSI][PSI]SSIIM)
$$= {11\choose 4,4,2,1} - {9\choose 3,3,1,1,1} + {7\choose2,2,2,1} = 25200.$$
This can be computed directly in GAP by the following code:
This returns

What I like about Tweety is how no one really knows if Tweety is a boy or girl. The lashes almost makes Tweety seem like a female, but his/her personality makes you think Tweety is a boy. So which is it, is Tweety a boy or girl? From what I've read, Tweety is indeed a boy. The long lashes are supposed to add beauty to the canary look. I had a lot of fun making Tweety in a simple form because he was so easy to recreate. I know many of you will also enjoy drawing Tweety easy because he is one of the more popular characters from Warner Bros, or the Looney Tunes family. Well I guess that's it. I do hope you enjoy this submission. I will be back soon with more for you all so stay tuned in.

Hi Ralph,
In thinking about this, my proposed solution won't entirely fix the problem - you'll still wind up with all those daemons. I believe I can resolve that one as well, but it would require a patch.
Would you like me to send you something you could try? Might take a couple of iterations to get it right...
