Our quest to build a low 9 sec. s197

I can tell. Crower doesn't get in a hurry for anyone. I bought what I thought was a "shelf crank" from them several years ago for a big block Ford. Turns out it was an unfinished "shelf crank" and it took six months so I can understand your plight. Expensive bastard too.

trust me I hear yah, this one was approx. 4000.00 , but hey this particular motor should handle anything we throw at it . Both Rich & JB figure it will handle in the neighborhood of 2500 hp. If that is the case we believe it is well worth it

Did Rich fill the block?

What's the story with the cam gears?

 

[GT RO]

Just a little eye candy for you , what do you think ?

Great looking car and sweet engine for sure. What hood is that--Steeda? If I had to bag on anything - it would be how you routed the cables for the hood pins. I would re-route.

What turbo you running? You should look at a Precision billett wheel 76mm. Since your going all out I would get a bigger turbo myself.

That is the Turbo we run at the moment , just havent been able to push it yet do to high IAT'S . stage 3 of our build will be either twin 67's or quite possibly a Pro Mod 91 mm and a Wolfe 25.5 cage .

A a/w will take car of your IAT's. A 91mm will make great power, but with a modular be hard to spool up.
