Those are the basical mechanicals I can think of.


BTW I am on pain meds right now so If I screwed some thing up live with it

 

More info on the heads please, how much did it cost to convert them to LT? Are they ported? What do they flow? How much did they cost?

 

Yup They are ported. They flowed 340 out of the box and flow more now

I Have been spending money on them for the last ten years. I know there is over $3K in rockers, Valve train and porting alone

 

car looks great Ellis!

mine ended up in Florida

 

Thank for the words Tanner man. I am trying


BTW WHY In the hell can't Accell just put "DK BLUE wire at K2 goes to coil or MSD"????? Instead of me looking for two hours!

 

I coulda told ya in 5 sec from memory

 

whats your future plans for the TB Ellis? amazing craftsmanship on those headers btw
you can get sbc heads converted for around $400

 

I plan on going up to a 1,600cfm Cobra TB. We will see after testing. Word has it I will be maxing this one out and start drawing a vacuum again through the TQ peak

 

Max effort-esque project build with a eagle crank... why haven't the naysayers chimed in yet?!



following the build and I am constantly finding myself scratching my head thinking "why didn't I think of that?".

 

Crank was checked out to the extreme. My builder swears it will go 1,200RW. I was up for changing it but they swore I was ok


We will see

 

Very nice man.

 

kind of how I feel about mine.

Mike said it will be fine for my goals, you as well as BigCat are running "eagle junk" and seem to be doing fine.


hopefully one day I can get around to checking the list of ideas for the car I have off. Never done an Fbody before and having people like you to guide the build are definitely a plus.

 

They have been over 1600 flywheel in SBCs.

Just gotta make sure someone who knows what they are doing goes over them first, not just take it out of the box and drop it in the block.

 

I have an eagle crank in mine, definitely have to make sure it is good from the factory. Other than that it has been fine.

 

I did a little more today. Moving around a littl more while trying to pass my Kidney stones :S

Nose is on for the first time since 2009. Head linght switch is wired and working fine


LOTS of room for Front facing Ram Air intake


Oh baby I think this is going to work out! I got some carbon work to do but I think I am going to like it!


Tomorrow it hits the ground and moves out side so I can clean the shop and move it over a bay

 

Nice build. While the run-down on the "build" sheet is a nice reference, we all should recognize that God is in the details and a lot of the things that will separate this from most lies in them. Again, stellar build!

 

Thank you for the words. You are 100% correct. It is hard to explain the hundreds of hours in all of the details that is for sure.

I have it outside today so I can clean the shop. I forgot how insaine it looks in the sun!



Had to roll it out on the jack. the front Susention is no where near set yet. It should come down 2in or so when it is done

 

Think the distributor will work better on top of the dash eh? Guess its in a better spot then the opti was,windshield will keep it from getting wet
