[PONTIAC DUDE]

Got in the first of the shipment of All Pontiac IA 2 Blocks.
Good looking piece over the one I saw at VMP. Not that there was anything wrong with that block. But do like the improvements made.
Screw-in freeze plugs.
Modified lifter valley.
Solid deck so I can put the water passages where I need them for street/strip use.
And more.

I like the changes Bob & Frank made. Two thumbs up.

I will be posting pics of the "New & Improved" IA 2 block later this evening.

<span class="ev_code_RED">Time to get busy building the "THE DUDE" 511 ci.in. Street/Strip/Race engines so my customers can go have fun. </span>



I would post pics of 'the assembly' of a 511 cu.in. Pontiac crate Engine, but it's already been done. LOL

BTW: Hey Bob. Ya forgot to include the <span class="ev_code_RED">screw-in freeze plugs</span> in the crate. LOL.

Coolness, Im still trying to figure out if one is in my budget or not..

[Tom Vaught]

Way cool on the changes to the block and the fact that they are sending some out to people.

My TA is available to test the prototype!
Just stay under 650Ft. lbs for my trans' sake and I'll shake it down for ya!

[Thumpin455_GTO]

Id be willing to test the biggest and baddest engine you can build. I'll just keep throwin TH400's behind it.. Im in Charleston SC, even closer than Indiana...

[Robert C.]

My IA II is in and guess what? The trans. took a dump. I will keep you all posted on what I need to do.

[Ken -Ace- Brewer]

We should also have 1 or 2 here on the west coast in a few!!
Be Cool,

[Robert C.]

They shipped on Tuesday. If you need a pro number, call the shop or my cell. One ship to NC. also. I also burn the trans. in the truck too. I don't know what I am going to do now. Jeff V. is in the process of putting the pistons in his block right now. He said that he will make it. I call him and offered my motor. I will work on it to night and let you all know what I will do.

bob- if all that's wrong is the trans took a dump, what's the big deal? earlier this year i broke mine on a friday night, got it rebuilt and had it back in the car to go test in 10 days.

[Robert C.]

3 days to Maple Groove. Norwalk no problem.

Bob C.

[Jeff V]

I know this is about the IA 2 blocks arriving but,Bob!! I have a converter and Jerry can fix the trans no problem in less than an hour.Let me know.

[Maximum Race Engines]

Somebody do somethin or the effort I put into building the engine to have it ready for Maple Grove went to waste...I actually spoke to Bob tonight, I was told it was just the converter, hopefully it will get done.The car WILL be at the Grove...No way is Verdi gonna be ready and not us..lol.Jeff, give me a call, number is on my site, let me know how you makin out.

in that case, take today off of work, get your broke sh!t to the trans shop, and sit there until it's fixed.

then take tomorrow off of work so you have plenty of time to put it back in the car and have a beer before you go to the grove.

[chiefbigb]

After looking at the dyno sheets you showed me Bob you may have to beef everything behind that engine.Brian

[Ray Cox]

I have a new spare sitting here from TTS ready to go Im sure someone is driving right by here to go to maple grove TTs built one for Mike davis at the track it only took them an hour to get it in before qaulifying so stop the excuses and get that thing out and show us some numbers

[Mike Davis]

I agree with ya Ray-after blowing it up in LA during qualifying Paul (TTS) put mine together in his sleep and I put the thing in the car in less than 45min with enough time to wash my hands before 1st round. You got plenty of time Bob you could even go to the lake for a day-

[Maximum Race Engines]

Just spoke with Bob a little while ago. He borrowed a converter, and got it back together. He will be trying it out tomorrow and making sure it works. If so, he will be going to VMP friday night for a few test runs before Maple Grove. If not, he will be swapping transmissions as well.....right Bob????
Brian-
I am sure the car will take it, I just hope he has a new set of sneakers to put on that thing...

Well,got my IA2 installed in the car tonight,(this morning) My co-worker is the starter at Richmond Dragway,so we are going to test there this afternoon around 3:00.Sorry Bob

[Robert C.]

Jeff,

Do you need some help? I can give you a target and stay in front of you in case you get lost going down the track. You can follow me.

I took Franks torque conveter out of his car. He was out of town. I will be there. The truck is fixed too. Trans in the truck went in to limp home mode. Dealer reset it.
