Here's where its at right now! I've gotta run my wire harness to it and do some other things.

 

It's all nice and clean.

Looks good man.

 

mmmmmm, sweeeeet, clean, fast! Cant get any better then that! goodjob! how much did all this work so far cost? (the engine)

 

I like your serpentien setup.

 

oooh cleeeen! Nice job!!

 

Sweet..

A nice clean engine bay for the bare essentials........

That thing must be easy as hell to keep clean......unlike the rest of ours...

 

i like the body color non ac heater box, smart move.... give it a look of alot more space over a reg non ac box

 

Werd!

Looks very clean, much nicer looking than all black, yet retains some black accents to not overdo the white. Nice work!

 

drool......

 

hey slush did also repaint your engine bay? looks great

 

Well actually i did, but guess what..... That was repainted with 2 Krylon spray bombs (rattle cans)

I had completely removed everything in there, strut towers and all because here's what got installed on the underside of the motor

 

thats sweet!!!

 

Excuse me, I think i just wet myself looking at that front end......

WTF are the specs on everything you posted in that picture....:hail:

 

Aw, I was hoping for a HomeStar Runner treat. Heh.

Seriously, that's one of the sweetest engine bays I've ever seen. I love it!

 

Slush, wow you really do awesome work and paint. ANd i see a Sweet SS Camaro back there as well

 

Looks like you like to pull tubes!



OFF THE GROUND! WOW MAN!

 

WOW! That is amazing!

BTW, who makes that alt bracket?

 

i think im going to pull all the crap off my wheel wells and paint it all semi gloss black. with a red car, it should look nice. would it be better to strip the red off, or just scuff it up and paint it?

 

TTT

I really want to know what's going on in the front end of that car.....

 

You want to know about the front suspension?? or the motor??

As for the front susp. nothing exotic! PA Racing cromoly tubular k-member and a-arms, stock springs, monroe struts, standard wonderbar, and my 15x4 Centerline Telstar wheels.

That about does it for that, got any questions let me know i'll try and answer to the best of my ability. I built this motor myself in my garage, we'll see how long it lasts. My 388 lasted me from July of 1997 till Nov. 2003 before the oil pump pickup head decided to come off and make my oill pressure go whack! The only maintenance done to my first motor was a cam change (due to a flatten lobe), and my upgrade to the AFR 195's, other than that it just took the thrashing i gave it. I have a large pile of timeslips over the years (100's of passes) and a few dyno runs from it.

 

I love those Chevy Valve Covers, i want to get some for my bro. Where did you get them? Would they fit 305s?

 

Yes they will fit a 305. I got mine from JEGS i believe, i'm not too sure because my wife got them for me, for christmas a few years back...Yeah she rocks

 

Here's a side angle to show off the valve covers a little better.
Man i love my RS.....

 

does that run 11.98? Or your 02 SS? mmmmmm Thats sweet! I think your engine is great. I love those Valve Covers. Hopefully when i get married my wife will buy me cool stuff like that :hail:

 

Also do you hav Strict Emissions around your area? Do you drive your RS around or just at the tracks?

 

When i get it back running i will drive it all around town. No emission laws out here in Kansas, but i'm sure that will change down the road someday.

The SS only runs 13.6, the 11.98 run was in my RS with the 388 that was in there, this 383 should run that quick or better with my HSR and roller cam set-up

 

that looks great! nice times with the 388 too

 

YOUR IN COLBY! ........... Im in Goodland. I have yet to find someone within 200 miles from here on the board! Ima have to go check out your car sometime.

 

Anytime bro, if you wanna come by sometime let me know, or heck come by my work but don't freak out on me. I'm the AF recruiter over here in Colby, so my office is right next to Pizza Hut, and i'm usually just chillin in my office.

 

man...i could only wish for that in my angine bay...lol...how long before it starts up do you think?

 

All of that and you couldnt invest in a new overflow tank

Your whole setup looks damn sweet, the A/C delete looks great painted white, as mentioned before, great move.

Rattle can you say? That really gives me confidence, because I did the same thing except with black.

:hail:

 

Very nice man and clean:rockon:

 

Slush92RS, your car is awesome.

I have a question about the crank pulley and "steering arm link thing" clearance. I don't know what it is called but it's the one that goes width-wise.

Anyway, my question is if you wanted to lower your engine in the engine bay to where the oil pan is closer to the K-member for better CG, would there be interference between the crank pulley and steering arm thing?

Once I win the lottery I'll be running something like that, only dry sump, so I can have the engine as low in the bay as possible. Just curious if I would have a prob.

My car isn't available to look at for myself and judge so I had to ask.

Thanks.

Oh and again, your car is evil .

 

As for my a/c delete heater box, that has been powdercoated white, i didn't paint that, and you should have seen the sad shape it was in when i got it, i never thought it would turn out the way it did. Gotta give props to LORAC in Wichita, thay blasted it and coated it.

Yeah i guess i could have bought a new overflow tank with all the $$$ i've been throwing at it, but hey a new tank is worth 0 HP

 

Those valve covers look like ***, you need to give them to me.

j/k, that motor looks SWEET! I'd say one of the best looking HSR motors I've seen in awhile. Can't wait to see how it runs!
