what you have there looks nice but there's no way I could have put the collector mufflers I have under my car it would have been beating all over the ground just sitting there.
Very nice, both of you. Thanks for the pics. Anymore available that would give an indication on plug access?

I will try to take a couple for ya today.

I have absolutely zero issues getting to the plugs on my car. When I built these things I put a socket on the plug in the head and made sure the primary was easily accessible without a pile of extensions or swivels.

I can get to them all from the top easily, no going under anything, etc.

I was not fighting with plugs... Nitrous car and plugs that aren't easy to change is a total fail.

My plugs are easier than my LS1 setup with little headders lol

The biggest thing is ditching your AC and going to manual brakes so you open up the back of the motor!

But ya, my #4 plug is a bitch, the shock tower is close as my heads are extra tall so I usually just loosen up the #2 tube and pull that plug.

I have an Idea to fix that tho once I add the spray. Like JL said..... on a nitrous car plugs must be easy.

I would love to do a fender exit if I could keep the noise down! This thing is already enough to ring your ears driving it around!

Here's a photo looking strait down on both sides.

I think the clearance is good with a 10.2 deck conventional head.


Next motor is going to be a 10.4 deck with a big chief head. That I expect is going to be a **** show.

If you saw the under car structure I have, and the way I had the 25.3 tied into the back of the k member, there's no way I could get that under my car.

That and the transam ground effect, with the car at ride height you can't fit a beer can under there standing up the car is that low....

Not sure if it's going to work that low but if it does great, thing will never want to stand up at that height. Only thing I worry about blasting on the ground is the oil pan but with the wheelie bars only 4 inches off the ground it won't ever stand up again, and I don't plan on ever running it without them.

If I don't end up selling this motor and I keep it, the heads are going to RFD to get done with his max effort nitrous program, I will likely end up putting a 4.625, or a 4.5 crank in it to make it a 615 or 598, probably put a dry sump on it, 55mm cam, 904 lifter, and intake wise I don't know what's out there for cast stuff other than a SV2 that might be better than the 2918 that's on this one, but I plan to go to one of the quick fuel carb's with the 2 inch butterflies on it. May end up building a sheet metal to do that, or maybe a profiler tunnel ram and just do a custom top for it. I get a weight break for using a single carb so if I do one of those ridiculous quick fuel ones, or that spread out sonny's or the braswell that's the same way I get the weight break for a single carb which is nice. Things ain't cheap but they're no more than buying 2, and you still have the simplicity of 1, and almost the power of 2.

I want to be able to go 8.50 n/a with it when I redo this motor or end up with another piece, use all 3 gears of my 2.1/1.4 th400, and when I go to run the fast 1/8th mile stuff spray it hard and leave in 2nd gear.

It does ok on the street with out rubbing, I have a set of modified save your *** bars under the car to take the hits if it does bottom out.


There are alot of great single carbs out there, I am running the E85 Sv1 currently and like it. I have a buddy that had a 1600 CFM dom built by Divane and its a killer piece.

These engines always make more power with 2 carbs tho, 1 just is not enough for the cubes.

Have you seen the big quick fuel one?

The butterflies are over 2 inches each... It's retarded big

Braswell has a crazy spread carb too
