Default It's alive!

Here's some pics of my freshly installed 436" small block. Fired it up last weekend and took it out for a little drive. Now I just have to sit and wait for some good weather to hit the track.

WOW that is a nice setup. The extra care you have taken to keep it so clean and simple has really paid off. It is not easy to put together an engine compartment that looks that nice. Those headers look like maybe 2"? Monster Dominator carb; Moroso vacuum; Wilson 2-stage...

How about some details on the heads. What brake master cylinder is that. Are those Moroso valve covers? I like your setup!

Thanks! You are correct on the headers. They are 2". I had them made in the fall by a local chassis shop to finally replace my 1 3/4" super comps. I would have never believed you could go 8.70's with those little headers. LOL The heads are AFR 227's. I ran them out of the box for the past 4 seasons but over the winter had them ported by BES. I also changed the cam to one more suited to the nitrous. I had originally planned on running an N/A class so the cam wasn't loving the bottle. The master cyl.is from an s-10 with manual brakes and the valve covers are from granatelli. Hoping to go 8.50 @ 160 this year and faster next year once I get the 25.5 upgrade done to the chassis. Not the fastest in the world but respectable for a 23 degree headed motor.

Here's a quick rundown of the specs.
436" SBC
World products block
4.165" JE pistons 13 to 1
crower rods 6"
callies crank 4" stroke
ati balancer
AFR 227cc heads fully ported
custom comp solid roller BIG!!!
crower offset lifters
jesel shaft rockers
smith brothers pushrods
manley nextek valve springs
dart intake
pro systems dominator
2 stage wilson plate system
msd crank trigger
moroso vaccum pump
