It was going to go in the car this weekend. Now I don't know the intake needs to be milled on all 3 surfaces. Not for sure if I can get it done in time.

 

Did you buy one? Are you getting a discount because of your licence and nhra membership?

Thanks

 

Yes sir it is true on both counts!

BTW The reason I was looking for a new setup is the canton sucks and with the stock pan I start to loose oil pressure on a good hook

 

Just curious but whats wrong with the canton oil pan? I heard they were awesome? Thanks for any help....

And Man that engine looks awesome! Good Luck with it man. Hope it runs well. By the looks of it, it will run REALLY WELL!

who converted your heads?

 

Besides not fitting with many headers and leaking? not much as long as you never work on your car

BTW I did not mean to hijack sorry about that. I like your heads. what headers you using? I have a set of brodix 18* heads i am wanting to use(after they are converted) and they have the same flange.

Looks good man!

 

I got a header kit with 2" primaries and 3.5 collecters. So geuss what I'll be doing after the motor goes in. The exhaust ports are 1.88 across so the 1 7/8 headers headman makes aren't a good choice. Can't afford the lemans hedders. Already spent my budget and then some. Almost ashamed to say what I put in it this year. I could have almost bought a new truck. Well okay one a couple years old.

 

Got them already converted. With all the money going out this year I had to cut a corner somewhere.

Paid $500 for the heads. Not to bad needed two new seats and 4 valves. So I put another $400 in them.









Ran into a problem today with the crank trigger. It's going to take a day getting it on. oh well. With anyluck the motor will go in the car tommorrow.

 

Looks AWESOME!

 

Looks good, Now one question is that an original 4 bolt block? or 2bolt drilled?

 

Good deal on the heads! Yeah I am the price of a small house into mine

I knew about the headers being a PITA

 

Nice looking setup

 

f'n awsome build!

 

2 bolt block converted to splayed 4 bolt. The factory 4 bolt blocks have all 4 bolts going straight down. Be having the 2 outer bolts at an angle it is stronger and the caps deflect(or bend) less at high rpms.

 

Well I didn't get it in the car. But it will be going in Saturday morning.

 

I am going to have to file a police report, you done gone and stole my motor!!!

 

Very nice looking set-up. I am very jealous. Just can't fit a project like that into my budget for several years... *sigh*

Not to hijack, but I am from IL (western Chicago suburbs... for a time I lived RIGHT behind Bob Joes's Speedway (Sycamore/Maple Park) the oldest dirt track in the country), but where is Cardova?

 

I would say it is about thre and half hours from you. You would have to get on I-88 W, then get on I-80 Just before you hit Iowa take hgw 84 N.

 

Gotcha. I've been out that way before.
