This is a awesome build. The crank and heads are sick. I cant wait to see how she gets down the track. Will you be doing the tuning on it?

Thanks

I'm just working on getting it all done now. My next step will be to get the motor over to DMC Racing and get the whole turbo set-up built. That hopefully will be in the next few weeks.

As far as tune-up. I will be working with Don Bailey. He is well know in the turbo world. He does Dave Hance's Drag Radial Car ( has been 6.78 @ 223 ) and Spiro Pappas's 10.5 car and many others. So I have great people on my side to help get it up to speed.

I hope to have some updates in the next 2 weeks. I'm just busy with racing right now. Thanks Ed

 

Very nice build!
Thanks for sharing.

any updates?

 

just saw the thread now. this is one sick build. subscribing

 

Sorry guys for the delay on updates. It has just been tough with the last few races.

However the motor is being built this next week and I hope to have the intake next week sometime. The picture stuff has taken longer for the reason of a magazine article that will be written about the motor build. When we get that stuff final I will post some pictures of it all.

I do hope to have a few pictures of the car up very soon. I plan on going to see it in the next few weeks. Thanks for looking and following it. Ed

 

no worries. building a car as amazing as this takes patience. look forward to seein you run a route 66 next season!

 

Well some engine stuff was shipped to me on Wed and I'm just getting a few minutes to post pictures. This is the 7 stage dry sump set up from Dailey Engineering with their billet pan.

This thing is so sweet. It uses a 30% smaller pump that will take off a few pounds from the normal size stuff and the pump also get's bolted right to the pan so no mess with oil lines. It has 4 stages that draw oil from slots in the bottom of the low profile pan. I have 1 stage for a scavage pump on the turbo and 1 extra stage as a vacuum pump fir the top end of the motor.

Take a look

 

I also got in my Front whels and tires. They are Mickey Thompson Pro 5 Billet wheels. I got spindle mount fronts to save some weight. I'm trying to build this car as light as I can so every little bit will add up in the end. I have spoke to a lot Pro Stock Car guys and they love the Mickey Pro 5 Wheels for the reason of they spin so true and they also look great.

 

That's a BADASS oil pump and pan setup!!!!

 

that pan and pump setup is SWEET!

 

That's the best pump/pan setup going, nice.

The wheels, do they make those in a non spindle mount design? I'd like to put a set of those on my sled, they'd look nice with the sander engineering dbl beadlocks

 

Yes they are made in a lug mount also.

Here is a link to M/T web page. The first 4 are lug mount style

Thanks Eddie.

I do like the rear's too... too bad they don't have a 15x12 with the beadlocks on it too, I'd be curious what the price on it would be.

I'm already prety much set on the sander rear wheel... for the $ it's hard to beat them, but I'd like to see where they would be price wise.

 

The Sander wheel is great deal for the money + it does have a bead lock on them.

I opted for the Micky stuff since I like them. The Micky wheels are a full machined wheel so it keeps them really true.

What I will be doing is getting a 15 x 12 with 5 1/2 back space and making it into a 15 x 11 with a 4 1/2 back space when the wheel gets the bead lock put on them. This will be the rim I use for a 275 tire and I will have a set of 15 x 12 for the 315 tire but to tell you the truth I might just scrape the idea of 315's and put a smaller turbo on the car from the start. My combo I really don't think will have a chance to run with the top cars in Outlaw trim with the way all the rules are now. That is a whole different topic.

 

This is the same set up I use. 20in of vacuum at 35lbs of boost running 8800rpm! Bad to the bone! I have used Dailey pumps exclusively for 7 years now and would not use anything else!!

How much does that pump/pan combo cost?

 

All of it!

 

The pump is right at about $2200 for the 7 stage and the pan is roughly $1600. So the whole set up like mine is $3700... I'm sure if you called Dailey and spoke to them Bill would be more then happy to build something that will fit your needs. This one has about everything that can be done to it. Most builds will not need this set-up and Bill went a little over kill on it. They were not sure on how it was going to work since the only 2 built were Tom's and mine. You could do away with 2 of the stages and save a good bit but I wanted to have them for future use. As Tom said his is pulling 20in Vacuum at 35 psi of boost. In most cases pumps cant keep up but this set-up really works.

 

Running a similar set up from Dailey on my n/a build. Big fan!
