Some pictures of my engine that will be runing soon, It is the orignal 71 400 Block 0.60 over with the original M-21 four speed that I redid a few years ago. Tell what you think this Goat will run with a 3.55 gear. It will look stock when it is done to the novice.... Quadrajet, factory air cleaner, intake painted blue, ram air manifolds. It is a numbers matching car, except I am putting a of 6X-8 on it but I have the original 96 heads in my garage.

Eagle rods in a stock lenght with a Aries custon made piston, Those slugs are very light. Full floating wristpins.

Close up of the Piston, I am using a Total Seal Rings.

A shot of the Crank original Nodiular Iron Crank .020 under rods. .010 under mains. Indexed and dementionalized. I suck at spelling!!!!!!! http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...s/icon_mad.gif Had to remove a lot of weight cause of the lighter pistons.

A pic of the combustion chambers, chambers are exact same cc's at 102 chambers angles have been"smoothed out"

Exhaust Ports tha have been ported and polished, 2.110 &1.660 stainless steel valves pretty light valves ones too. http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif

Intake Ports Smae work done.

Comp Cames XR288-10 Hyd Roller Cam

1971 WT Numbers matching block, I deburred it and removed any flashings on the block.

I reccomend polishing the lifter gallery area, I spent a frw hours on mine but it is verry messy, I have seen them look like a mirror before http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_redface.gif

1971 Original M-21 That I rebulit thats gonna go with my engine, I will be using the stock flywheel and a centerforce dual fiction clutch assembly.

Another Shot!

Looks nice! Since you are doing all that why not pop for a new steel flywheel?

Very nice. Love 'dem clean parts! http://forums.performanceyears.com/g.../icon_razz.gif Keep this thread updated on your progress...

Good luck!

Jim.

Yeah,looks great,should run real strong too! I would think it'd be a blast to drive,just don't get too crazy without a scattershield!

That sh$t looks so good makes you want to just sleep with it. http://forums.performanceyears.com/g.../icon_wink.gif

The Crank and Cam in the block. Nodluar Iron Indexed Crank.

The Crank and Cam in the block. Nodluar Iron Indexed Crank..

Enlarging the wristpen end to install a bushing for to make the robs free floating. Yes I know you can buy them this way. OH SH#T No one will miss that extra ten thousands!!!!!

Thw Comp XR-288-10 cam is now in the block, I spent some time on removing the flashings on the outside of the lifterbores and "smothing" out the lifter gallery area for better oil return.

Block Now has the Pistons in it, man I starting to get excited now!

THe slugs .005 in the hole, custom made JE Pistons 0.60 over.

Side pic got that Milodon Oil pan off the parts for sale section in this forum.

Just a Pic of the Timing Cover with the new SFI balancer. Degreed in the Camshaft, got a adjustable true double roller chain under there.

Which damper is that?

Looks nice, what kind of compression will that setup get you? I am just a week or 2 behind you on a 400 build.

Romac dampner, 9.5 to 1 Compression.

Arias or JE, which are they?

Sorry the are JE, Ihad two sets of slugs and I was in a hurry when I posted the pictures. http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...s/icon_eek.gif

Am I missing something here?? A .060 over 400 with 102cc chambered heads will not give you anywhere close to 9.5:1 CR. http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...n_confused.gif You're more like 8:1 if the specs you gave are correct.

Keep us informed on whether it runs as good as it looks. That's the real deal...

Not missing anything, but you can't assume that I would give away me whole combo's specs!!! http://pysales.com/images/evil.gif

Blown? Turbo? Cuz, it's not 9.5:1!! Looks good, good luck with it. Just wondering why you said it would be 9.5:1 with those specs.

Maybe that crank has a little extra stroke in it.

Could be, but it wouldn't be a 400 then! (See topic header) Just breakin stones! http://forums.performanceyears.com/g.../icon_wink.gif If it's a 4.21 stroke, that puts him right around 9:1.

400 stroker to 461(4.25 stroke)

I'm building a "400" also! http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif http://forums.performanceyears.com/g.../icon_wink.gif Says so right on the block!

have not looked at an after market crank in a while but that crank has no hash markes for the rear seal don't look like a 400 crank to me http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...n_confused.gif

No, I am having 9.5 comp with the custon pistons, also if you look on how most piston companys rate compression ratios with heads they are usually rated with the pistons .008 in the whole and the TRW pistons have for valve releafs, using a head gasket of about 45 thousands. My gaskett is 37 thousands compressed and like I said I have custom piston made up to get the compression of 9.5 to 1 and I said that my slugsd were .005 in the hole but they relly close to being a 0 Deck height.

Are they domed pistons??? Don't look like it. My calculations with .037 compressed gasket, zero deck, and let's say 5cc valve relief area still only come to around 8.3:1 with a 3.75 stroke and 4.181 bore (If that is what the bore and stroke are). I'm not trying to be a jacka$$, just curious as to how you are arriving at those compression #'s with a 102cc head.

nice

No man, They are custom made pistons, I gave the piston manufactor the spec of my rod lenght, deck height, cc of chamber and head gasket thickness and got a piston designed to get a 9.5 to 1 ratio. Jeez I put pics up for peolpe to enjoy and get my head bit off. I got too much time invested and money not to waste by goofing up on a compression issue!!!!!

And I will let my time slips to the talking.

Time slips won't be talking that loud with that c.r. Unless with some kind of boost.
