I'm using the AFR 205's off my old set up, along with the T rex cam and vic jr/ 750 mighty demon carb.

I'm thinking about switching to a E-85 demon carb. I have not done enough research on it, but a guy I know who is EFI has switched and picked up like 40-50 rwhp and almost 130 rwtq. He showed me the dyno sheet.

That truck is my fathers 68 step side I am restoring for him. It is a long way from finished right now. Seems I have to many irons in the fire at the moment. I tried to convince him to put a 5.3 in it. But he could not give up the old sbc 350 he has on a stand that has been there for like 5 to 6 years.
It is getting a late model step side bed. I already shaved the handles, getting remote poppers, one peice door glass kit(no vent window), steel cowl hood and smoothed fire wall with a vintage air hvac.
It should be really slick when finished. It will be a cooper pearl color.

Here is the short block put together. I feel releived that is done. I'm trying to find the time to get all the bottom end stuff buttoned up. Then we are going to measure for head gasket size we need and PR length. I'm hoping for 12.5-1 or a little better.

I also manged to get the rest of the stuff on the fuel tank and pump done. Now working on the other end, at the regulator.

Here is the regulator mounted up and the fuel pump. Also the vent tube I kinda half assed. I would like to secure it better.

I'm hoping for 10.50's or better on the motor.

I got the timing set all in place and set everything up to measure PTVC and with the cometic .040" gasket and 7.400" P, 58cc heads, T rex cam, The clay had roughly .120" to .150" clearance. I was surprised to see that much. I did the test with two welded up lifters in place.

Then we measure the piston/deck height, the piston is -.011" out of the hole. and with the cometic .040"/3.9115" bore(used gasket). THe CR is going to be 12.95:1. WOW, not a pump gas motor.. Oh'well.

I'll snap a few pics later this week. It's looking pretty nice on the stand with th AFR heads and YT ultra lites on it. GMPP valve covers on there way soon also. Trying to decide on buying two right sides with the fill hole, so I can put a fat breather on both sides....

just run it on E85 or 93 with a meth kit.

I'm gonna dig into the E-85 stuff a little more before I get it running. I'm hearing great things about running it. More power, runs cooler. But uses more fuel.

I know E-85 is like 106 octane, will that be fine for 12.5:1 CR?

I got the GMPP valve covers and head gaskets today. I ended up going with a .051" to make the CR 12.5:1. That should be plenty fine.

I hope to meassure one more time tomorrow (3rd time) to be totally sure everything is as I think it is. Then bolt the heads up Sunday. Then hopefully through the week we can get the rockers set up and get the oil pump and cover buttoned up.

Then I can finally get the motor in the car.

I am thinking about powder coating the valve covers, leaving the logo polished, the valley cover and the vic jr gloss black. How do you guys think that will look?

slammer454

you should be fine, and your basically running it on alky with E85, so it shows all of your characteristics. Stoich for Ethanol is 8.8:1 as opposed so 14.7:1 for gas so yes, you would use more fuel.

1. Getting the brake master cylinder in and all the lines done up.
2. Putting the motor in.
3. Trans put in and measure for the drive shaft.
4. Relocate coils inside the cowl panel and get a custom wire set made.
5 Cooling system done.
6. Mount the MSD box under the dash were it will be easy to get to for tuning.
