well i finally got an engine. i went out to long island yesterday morning to watch them dyno it and bring it back home. the motor made 576hp and 582 ft-lb. not to bad. i had them leave the block bare(no paint). i brought it back to my work(bodyshop) and painted it up really nice. you can't really see but i painted it the same color as the car, sunset orange metallic. i can't wait to get it in. let me know what you think of it.

 

what size engine is it? looks really nice

 

I think that it looks great. I too can't wait to see it in the car.

 

yeah how big and who did the work and is it on pump gas , And if you made that much im betting you spent around 8000, i know shafrioff is about that much . But that should really get the car moving .Mid to low 11's i bet .

 

434ci scott shafrioff motor. it made those numbers on 94 octane. 10.5:1 compression makes it street friendly. this thing sounds insane. my complement to the guys at shafrioff. they build a hell of a motor and they are very friendly. i highly reccomend them to anyone who has that type of money to spend. this motor cost me 10,930.00. its alot of money but i think its well worth it.

 

YOU ARE MY HERO!

 

wow!

 

awsome

 

WOW that motor is my dream, what tranny are puttin behind it?

 

I could care less if that motor was pink, that thing makes some sick power. I'm guessing low 11's - high 10s or faster with a good setup.

Awesome job you know i love your car

 

Looks pretty good and potent.

 

amazing...

that thing should run high 10s easy with good tranny, gears, and big slicks

 

OOOH MY, daddy likey!

 

awesome, cept for those decals on the valve covers

 

im still up in the air about what trans to use. im not sure if i should get a build 5 or 6speed or go automatic. im leaning more towards th400. as for the valve covers, they are not decals. they are encraved. they are actually really nice. i kinda wish that they didn't say the size of the engine but whatever, they are still really nice. heres a pic. sorry my camera is such a piece of crap.

 

not too bad I guess. From that one pic you first posted, all i could really make out was the flame and it looked cheesy.

 

wow, that looks really good. badass man!

 

Sickness!!! Talk about adding icing to the cake. Your car is gonna be sick when its complete. Damn wish I had that kinda $$ to drop on a motor .... hopefully someday ...

Looks great!! Do you think the SOM paint on the block might bubble when it heats up? I was told body paint on an engine is a no-no but I have no experience with it, so kind of curious ....

I would say go with a G-Force built T5.

 

i shouldn't have any problems with the paint. i used all the right primers so ill just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best.

 

madre de dios

...what an engine, I really liked your car before and all, but now it kicks some serious ***.

I say go w/ a built 6 speed and some sweet gears, but thats just me.

still cheaper than a new corvette, and it has more go and more character

sweet ride, sweet.....

all i have to say is i really envy you right now. cant wait to see it all done

 

So is this going to be a track car with big slicks, or is this thing gonna be kicking some cobra and C6 *** in the city???

 

mostly street but it will be no stranger to the track

 

Pretty sick commitment there. Nice choice though. If only I had the funds to truely "express" myself through my car. lol Can't wait to see the finished product. Maybe even in person someday at a meet or something. Any eta on finished product?
