Re: Got any motor suggestions? Larry,
Please tell me this was an "April fools" thing...
If not you got one helluva chassis to play with.
Just buy another block if everything else is good. <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

Re: Got any motor suggestions? Larry.. Heres what Im thinking. An Iron block Stroker motor (~410ci), Iron heads, 8.5:1 Compression, and a BIG Precsion Thumper (100mm or so). Brian has a fuel system on the car that should support it correct. Swap in a set of a 160lb injectors.. Go for mid 8s <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Also if need be, let me drive. For someone reason thats the only reason why Im fast is because I weigh like 20lbs, lol. 180 is like a tenth of a sec
Re: Got any motor suggestions? Larry,
I wonder what my motor would run in you Hot Rod? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />
I say give Thunder a call and see what they can do for ya. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
Tell your Dad we are on now. I will race his vette. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Got any motor suggestions? I'd love to see someone take a bone stock longblock into the 10's.
I wish I could show you the great power you can make with forced induction and a 348ci motor, but I am about a month behind...

Re: Got any motor suggestions? How about a rocket block, stuffed with venolia and callies hard parts. A set of 18 degree heads and a accufab throttle body. This way you still have a fuel injected set up, and it won't lift the heads at 700hp. LS1's + power adder of any kind over 700rw = a bloody mess on the floor.

Re: Got any motor suggestions? twin turbo is my vote with a few more cubes. and a set of wheelie bars to keep the front down so this does not happen again. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Got any motor suggestions? I think that we go too aggressive to the PA tunes. Look at Harlan...715 on a mustang dyno, on a stock crank? 143 traps at a 3600 RW? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
Its all in the tuning <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Got any motor suggestions? If you need a real mans turbo to go with that Dart block ,shoot me an email. I've got a new PT106 and one of their intercoolers, the biggest they sell. 2300hp sure would sound nice

Re: Got any motor suggestions? We are getting ready to go on a hunting trip....as soon as the motor is ready....I suspect we will be able to hunt where we want to.
Thunder's next big race will be where we will NOT do a BIG WHEELIE!!!! We scrapped the motor from the corvette for a better cause...The block sure was a nice one to build for a 4XX motor for the Pain mobile. I now have some very good pistons,rods,cam and etc to build another motor
