Default What I've been up to this winter

After a friend with a terminator went with a KB to beat me I decided I wasn't going to go down without a fight!

Here are a few pics of parts and build progress and such....

Very cool, keep us posted on your progress.
400rwhp shouldn't be a problem, you can do that with a H/C 350.

Who did the heads?

A company called cnc cylinder heads. They have 200 CC runners. They are a lot like AI heads. 2.0 and 1.56 valves also.

Default thanks

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the kind words. MAN its been a LOT of work. But the time is drawing near to reap the rewards.

Got my valve covers in today, so now I can finish fabbing the coil brackets and get all of that mocked up.

mine is just a little old 355 with stock rods with arp bolts and stock crank. We will see how the rods hold up to a 150 -200 shot. Hp isnt what kills a rod anyways, its RPM and Detonation. Im gonna make sure there is 0 detonation and im gonna keep the rpms down to about 6700 or so. so they should def. hold the 150 shot.

Are those the ebay cheap valve covers? How do they clear your rocker arms, did you have to do any mod to them to get them to fit? I ordered a set a couple of days ago should be here by Friday, then I will start my new 355.
Looks good.

My intake has been green for 2 years. The mellow yellow bottles are 20 years old. LOL. I don't think you can even get them anymore.
