Breaking in new 396 build.
Breaking in new 396 build. Hey Colin,
carb and carb intake, etc. are all just for dyno. My builder doesn't have the ability to do fuel injection/PCM etc. on his dyno. We have to dyno it "old school".

I will also be breaking in my engine on an engine dyno before throwing it in my car.

It's really a rebuild after I spun two rod bearings last September. 
Not the builder's fault. Freakin' oil pump pickup snapped right off the tube. Strangest thing, but I tend to have bad luck with that kind of ****.
397 (I call it 396 to avoid all of the weird looks)
Cola crank with Callies splayed main caps
Scat H-beam 6" rods
Diamond pistons
AFR Eliminator 210's
Custom cam - was my old Comp Cam, but we had Bullet regrind it. Glenn and I had an idea about changing the profile and Bullet agreed with our changes.
LT4 intake with the Lloyd Elliott treatment
CR ended up 11.9:1

Verdad Gallardo I think Glenn charges $500 to dyno. He provides everything: oil, filter, race gas, etc. etc. It's usually mandatory when he does a complete motor build. Because I am a repeat customer and because we are playing around with it some in addition to normal run-in and pulls, we have done two dyno sessions and will be doing a third - all covered under the one time dyno fee.
Thanks!
Yes sir. Car has been sitting on jackstands since September. I'm ready to put that pig back together and wail on it.

Really? About all that he would have to do is get a fuel supply system that would allow fuel to return to a tank and provide enough backpressure at the rail. I asked about running my dyno at the local shop and all he said I would have to do is bring my own fuel delivery system.
