Gotta know, how do you do the motor plate? Do you have to use a WP gasket on both sides of the plate?

You have to se some kind of gasket on both sides, or atleast i am.


i am hoping to break into the high 9's on motor and high 8's on spray.
depending on how the car runs will depend on what class i am going to run.

I was thinking God damn thats a lot of cam for only a 468 until I read the 400 shot part, lol.

cool set up BBC's are way cheaper than LS set ups

phoenix

iTrader: (6)

i dont know about way cheaper but its easier to come by parts thats for sure.

Yea I thought it was a lot of cam also when they comp cams spec it out for me, he said it will really wake up on spray so that is what i want.

The stang is geting a turbo LS1

What headers are you using?

phoenix

iTrader: (6)

I am using the Hooker 2241 headers, they should fit just have to notch the frame rail a little. Once i get the motor back and get the headers installed i will post pics.

phoenix

iTrader: (6)

i agree the LS motor is a great motor, but a long story short the big block just comes out to be cheaper

BBC

I used 2241 headers as well and they fit pretty well with the BMR K-member. I had to make one slight change to them on the passenger side because they hit the firewall on one tube. I know this is slightly off topic but the TH400 dipstick tube works really well from Mad Man for the big block. If you are just beginning this conversion you will really appreciate the items that just fall into place.

by any chance you have any pictures of the headers installed?

cant wait to see this build come to a finish.

one pregunta though, why is your bay spray painted flat black?

phoenix

iTrader: (6)

the car was black, I had it painted SOM. that is one of the things i want to hae done while the motor is put, but i would rather spend the money else where.

a built bbc should warrant a mid 9 pass n/a or better in any car imo.
will run strong for sure, i woulda went with the turbo ls

phoenix

iTrader: (6)

oh im sure the turbo setup would have run strong but i still think the BBC was a better choice. I lost a LOT of money changing setups when the turbo setup was pretty much done.
