Here's where its going. Looks like I need to do some cleaning before I put it in there.

Todd that looks like a serious engine you have there. What are the specifics on it.

JBP 320+ CNC heads (standard port), 400 block, 467 kit from JBP, 1050 Holley, Victor, 270@ .050 roller, 1.65 rockers, 6.8" eagle rods, Ross pistons, gapless rings. 87cc E heads and Hooker super comps.

TH400, 3000 stall, 3.42 gears. I am hoping the low stall will let it hook and then when the it starts making power about 4000 due to the duration it will start to pull rather than spin.

Hmmmmm looks like someone wants to go fast!! http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif
Looks good. http://forums.performanceyears.com/g.../icon_cool.gif

It turned me on!! NICE ....

Very cool looking power plant. Did you use a crank scraper? Sounds like a killer combo. Please let us know how she does at the track.

i can't wait to post pics of my new 474...shouldn't be more than 2 weeks.

very nice!!!.what intake is that?

Edelbrock Victor with 4500 flange. No crank scraper, and I am hoping for bottom tens to high nines if it ever hooks. Its getting lighter by the day.

And install a roll cage, traction devices, and laundry if your heading for the nines. Looks good though.

12 point cage is on the way, its the winter project, as are subrfame connectors, glass front end and doors. I am still looking for ways to get lighter, Ray has been really helpful in that area.

It hooked pretty well with the 670 headed 455 and slicks, 1.5x 60 fts with only a 3000 stall. On the BFG's that are in the pic, it did a best of 1.69 but usually spun just a bit and pulled 1.75-1.79. That was on a slippery track in defense of the BFG's.

Should be running this evening. Got all my parts and its on to the thrash untill it moves under its own power again..

Todd,

That looks COOL!!!!

I think Grandville asked what intake it was because it looks huge (tall) in the picture. I was thinking the same thing.

Hey Todd, what were your 1/8th mile times and speed with the 670 heads?

Dwight

288-296 Ultradyne hyd cam, 3000 stall, 850 holley, 4.11 gears, 3650lbs, torker II intake, and JBP ported 670's netted 7.7-7.5 90-93mph in the 1/8.

The new one is a completely new engine. Two factory parts used, 1: the block, 2: Cam retaining plate.

I'm privy to getting to witness the birth of this creature...

BUT MINE STILL LOOKS PRETTIER!!!

I will not paint my engien RED! My engine is prettier, your car has better looks...lol. Mine's faster.

Nice motor but dam is your avtar annoying!

Should I slow it down or add more pics of my cars to it or something? And Thanks everyone for the compliments.

I just need to lash the valves, install the valley pan and intake, and bolt up the headers. I just had them sittin on there for the pics.

Maybe one picture or a naked chick.LOL

Maybe 10.50s-10.40s will be my guess.
you will need 700hp or more to get to high nines

Todd, from what I can figure, you are out of Charleston SC. My motor is torn down at the machine shop now getting some R&R.
We should get together to test and tune at Dorchester. Mine should be ready for the bottle in about 3 weeks.

That depends on what the car will weigh and how well the chassis works. My car has ran a best of 10.10 with "only" 638 HP. But it weighs 3100 lbs with me in it.

The combo Todd S. has sounds similar to mine so if he can get the weight down and get the car to hook he should be in the ballpark for low 10s or high 9s.

Its between the fenders, almost completely hooked up. The Victor took alot of rework to get it to fit. Mostly around the bolt holes. Not enough clearance to get them in.

Figuring out the alternator and simple stuff like the intake took most of today. It should fire tomorrow, if all goes well.

I was told the Hooker Supercomp headers would be a pain, they were easier to install than my D port headers. They fit great, no massaging, and I have enough room to get to the filter, plus the bolts were all easily reached. Drivers side bolt #4, the one behind the center tubes caused the most trouble, a friend above and me under the car turning it a flat at a time worked good. If Dougs are easier, then they will install themselves! I am curious to know how other headers would fit.

Thanks for the positive inspiration and the compliments. Russ I get out to Dorchester once in a while. I grenaded the old 455 back in April so I havent been out since. We meet at Sams on Rivers every 1st and 3rd saturday between 5 and 7 pm. Come on out and look for all the Fbodys, I might have it out sometimes since its still street legal.

More pics tomorrow, if anyone wants to see them, some parts of it are "ghetto" lol.

The front end isnt bolted down entirely yet, but it runs and moves under its own power. Still needs small stuff and the hood will be in later next week. If anyone has a site I can post a small movie file, you can hear it run. It sounds pretty mean, it might make some power... http://forums.performanceyears.com/g.../icon_wink.gif

I use 12 pt header bolts and a "special" boxed end ground thinner. One I had so thin it broke when I used it. Next set I'll heat and make that bolt dimple and the same one on the other side bigger.

7/16 Craftsman ignition wrench does wonders on header bolts... but you still need a normal wrench to snug them down good.
