Comp 127300

Curious as to why 127300 and not 127350 blower cams? I know NA cams run just fine, but did you just already have them?

Very nice build though. Makes me almost think about going for the Big bore over a 302 stroker. Looking forward to seeing the numbers since you have the same blower that I do.

There have been some threads on here about the na cams pulling better numbers.

tonights progress: mounted flywheel, clutch, IW 10% OD, Thump Tensioner, 8 rib kit pulleys, spark plugs, cops, motor mounts and adapter plates, tightened oil pan, mounted oil relocation kit..After all that was done, went back over everything to confirm all has been tightened properly. We then put it on the cherry picker and will be there until tomorrow. We run out of light so fast. We were going to do it tonight, but since its in my driveway with poor lighting, we are waiting until tomorrow. Would hate to scratch something...

Can anyone see a mod I have done thats very subtle? Look closely.

Another hint

Nice work man! Bet you can't wait to finally fire this thing up.

 

[psfracer]

Yep, I want to see that bad boy in the engine compartment, its going to look awesome.

 

[BoostedGT480]

Thanks guys...Yea, cant wait until it fires up...Its been sitting since March 6th. The only drawback we are going to have is wiring up the dual bap. It was wired previously for the single bap so I need to reverse the wiring back to stock so I know Im hooking the dual bap correctly

Im looking forward to the numbers as well. Im going for 700 although I have 730 in my head.

My buddies car was on the dyno last weekend and he is running a B302 with the Mammoth 2.8. He made 715 @ 17psi. I have 22ci more than him and will be running around 17psi for now so hopefully the extra cubes help make up for not running the mammoth

A little progress tonight. We got the motor in and was going to put the tranny in until we noticed the builder didnt put the dowel (sp?) pins in the block for the tranny. So Im going tomorrow to see about getting some unless I can get some from autozone or similar. Also changed out the rear pinion flange for the new one for my alum driveshaft. Took of the ps 6rib and will install the new 8 rib tomorrow as well as the ac 8rib. So basically tonight we just bolted the motor in, oh and extended 1 wire for the oil gauge.

Few pics of the excitement!

[UltraKla$$ic]

If you two are on the computer, WHO'S WORKING ON THE CAR?!?!?

Get out there and wrap this beast up!!! LOL!!

 

[BoostedGT480]

Had to take a trip to lowes for some bolts...Got the ecu, radiator fan, coolant tank, ps tank, ac compressor mounted, ps puno mounted, all the 8 rib pulleys mounted, and some hoses hooked up.

Since we dont have the dowels in the block, we can not do the tranny. Since we cant do that, we can not do driveshaft, exhaust, shifter..
