Looks good man..Keep them pics coming..

you will be making some power so my $.02 would be put in a twin disc clutch....

A aggressive single disc will work but for the long run the twin will outlast it and perform very well.

Why the 65cc combustion chambers on the heads?

Why the mini ram intake?

CPrice929

To lower the compression.

CPrice929

It was either going to a ported intake through Advanced induction or the mini ram.

nice build

WS Sick

I like the mini ram, the only problem I have with it is price...lol
The reason why I asked compression is the smaller chamber with a matching area appropriately sized piston dish is the best way to go, but then again youre not building a NASCAR...lol. Engine looks sweet.

You're going to need to contact SpeedInc for the Machinehead.com accessory relocation brackets in order to clear your valve covers. Very nice build and should make very good power. Here are some pics of the brackets mounted on my new engine also.

Nice intake manifold.

joelster

Sounds like a great combo. That should make some nice power!

With thosr valve covers the alternater wont mount in its original position?

About how much of a HP/torque advantage is the mini-ram vs. a ported stock LT1 intake anyways? Just curious

Those valve covers will work with the stock alternator. You just need to grind the alternator down a little and it will slip right into place. Looks great

CPrice929

Anyone have a idea of what horsepower and torque ill be making out of this setup.
