i see some good parts. whats the c.i on that bad boy? or is that to be kept under the hat along with the camspecs?

LTX Shootout motor pics.... Here's what I'm bringin in April to compete with the big boys 
Spent all day making some last minute touches to the motor before I could pick it up and bring it home with me. Ran out of time so most likely monday i'll be bringing my new baby home... Ran into big problem with the vacuum pump location and took Sikora's advice about belt length so we completely redid the bracketry in the front due to it hitting the upper radiator hose when it was mounted....
At this point i'm basically waiting on a few banjo bolts for the rear crossover tube, filling it with oil and priming it (hence the reason the distributor isn't in it yet) and then loading it on a truck.... car has been ready for it's new heart for some time save for some minor wiring and fuel line connections....
For NE1 that hasn't been around for the last year and a half that i've been building it, it's 383 ci with AFR 227's, big solid roller, lunati/oliver/je rotating assy, 12:1 CR, with 2 stages of nitrous on it.... looking to make about 1000hp on both kits... Enjoy!!

yeah very soon.... doing something like this you just run into so many unforeseen problems with clearances, parts requirements, money, etc....
but it WILL be in the car very soon as my engine builder wants it out of there.... (and he wants to see it IN the car as well) I will have some car pics once my bogarts come in and i start dropping the motor in...

nah it's not really anything super top secret... it's a 6" rod 383..... the cam specs are uhhhh big..... .700+ on the intake and close to .700 on the exhaust.... duration is 250+ int/exh....
The most exotic thing we did was probably use 6" rods which required a VERY custom piston using buttons instead of spirolox.... we wanted a thick crown on the piston for heavy doses of nitrous so we were forced to run a custom JE piston....

I'm in northern cali.... about 40 miles west of sacramento....
The intake is a Victor E from Edelbrock with the water neck cut off smoothed over and welded..... Of course the inside of it got some "special" treatment as well....
Thanks again guys...

I have a feeling your heads flow better then the brodix's I have. I'm going to shoot for around .680 lift and I'm still considering pistons and maybe a 5.7 rod. But I hope to get it together and come see the big boys in April.
looks nearly identical to my stock shortblock motor minus the vacuum pump. lmao!
-have you picked out a dizzy yet? i have a low profile crab style and its a bitch to get to the thing, being between the 2 fuel rails. i wish i would have gotten vertical posts on it.....

yeah it might look externally like a stock block but the work within is where the secret lies.... there's about 5 grand in the rotating assy, the block is half filled, splayed 4 bolt mains, deck plugs, and a bunch of machine work that went into it.....
yeah i'm using a crab cap MSD.... i won't be needing to touch it much so it'll hafta do considering out cowl clearance we need...

The front bracket with the adjustment channel comes with the vacuum pump from Reher Morrison that I bought but the rear was fabricated by CSM Racing Engines (who built the motor).... Feel free to use the pics if you wanted ideas for whoever builds the brackets for you.... Or you could call Lance at CSM Racing Engines and ask him to make an identical one for you. not sure what it would cost.... PM me if you want the number.
