I have a thread going" 502 gen 5 carbed need help w/ rebuild" but have a different question. When I am done and have a few hours on it, broke in, I was thinking of buying an old alum prop, cutting off some blade to get 5000 rpms while strapped to the trailer. With a friend at the throttle and distrib. backed off a bit, run to full thr. and slowly advance the dist till no more increase in rpm then maybe back off a little and lock her down. Opinions?

Please video tape this.

Based on what you posted
........my advice is step back away from the engine and do not touch anything. Take it to somebody who knows what they are doing.

I think that`s a great plan!

Hold my beer and watch this!

3/4 race cams like 6000+ rpm,best cut off another blade.

Kinda like the ol 3/4 race race cam guys would set their timing on a car. One in the driver seat with a foot on the throttle and one foot on the brake. A buddy rotating the distributor until the tires would brake lose. Yup sheeee's all good. 😂

I think that is a great idea, kind of reminds me of this one.

Great plan.

Guess I won't be trying that. Was just an idea.

It’s all good. We got a grin anyway! 😂.
