Some big money being put down in this build! Looks good !

 

[HOLYWD]

Well, I got the engine compartment ready for the engine, cleaned everything up, but I do have to rivet in some sheet metal to cover the holes on the firewall and stuff. I measured the engine and its 31 inches long from the back of the block to the edge of the electric water pump. Its 34 inches to the radiator, so I should just barely make it without having to move the radiator from its stock position.

Also I removed the stock trans cooler and lines---I wonder how good the stock transmission cooler is? Its 4 X 23, so its pretty decent size, need to do some research.

ENGINE UPDATE

The heads are on, just waiting on the ported intake manifold. The springs and retainers were also replaced with Titanium pieces. The "stock" P51 springs for the solid roller were 240lbs on the seat. The engine builder wanted to see a lot more seat pressure, and the spring I went with is 420lbs on the seat and almost 1,000 open. The main problem was, because of the cam I picked, the P51 springs where just .040 away from coil bind. So I went with a different spring also just for the added clearance, in addition to the motor being able to rev higher with the stronger springs.

In any case, as soon as the ported intake arrives, the engine should be on the dyno just a few days later. Its getting close.

Damn Paul... I'm so envious of your build man... one day, ONE FREAKIN DAY.



When do ya think the motor can be dropped in?

 

[psfracer]

Mid September the motor will be going in. Just 2-3 weeks away at most. But it all depends on how fast the ported intake gets here. Can't do anything until it arrives.

 

[Miracle]

I know how that is... waiting on one thing... had that hold up when I did the KB and waiting on the tune.

Good stuff man. Can't wait to see some times on this monster.

 

[psfracer]

Yep, I can't wait. I will be real happy if I get 900 on the motor only and 1100 on a single plate. That should make it an 8.60 car at the cars weight.

Noticed in the picture's above looks like your still using the stock lower control arms. How come? Is it a strength issue?

[psfracer]

No--those are BMR units. And yes, I looked them over today because of the other thread. But I have always done straight line stuff, so I wasn't expecting to find any cracks. I think its the turning that affect these things---these are a little over a year old.

Hahahaha you knew where I was going with this. ya I think they maybe greatly effected by big wheels vs skinnies , so Im not that worried about it . Besides Miami is like a grid , everything is straight not many twisties.

So there BMR just different color arms.


Pete

 

[psfracer]

Yeah--they are the gun metal color.

[bushmasterbob]
