It took way too long.. but here's some engine pics






.... it's faster than it looks.


Not sure if this belongs in this forum or not...

 

:hail:

 

Yeah, what Slow88lb9 said!

 

looks nice, what are the specs?

How much faster?

 

Sweet.

-love the VC's

 

I like those spark plugs. Those are sweet lol. They should carry spark well. Looks good.

What is that? 350, 400, 383?!?

 

The spark plugs are just in there so paint doesent get into the spark plug holes.

Lookin good John!

 

I know I'm just messing around. Geez nobody takes a joke around here anymore

 

HOLY CRAP!! That almost looked like the new 572 for a sec....valve covers look exactly the same. But hey, does look good......what is it 350, 383, 400.....we must know....and how fast is it????? Don't leave us hanging!

 

Thanks guys... Here's the vital info.. it came out a little hotter than I planned because I bought my heads second hand, and never imagined they would have been milled. Just out of curiosity I cc'd them and the chambers are 70cc instead of the production 76cc. I based my CR calculations on 76 and wanted to be safe on pump gas. This change puts me around 11.5:1 which should be interesting.


Block: 010 2 bolt .030 over (thanks Xhiron)
Heads: World Products S/R ported to 180cc on the intake side
Crank: Production 400 turned to fit 350 mains
Rods: Production LT1
Pistons: Keith Black Signature Series Domes
Cam: Comp XE284H (.510 exhaust)
Intake: "Professional Products" air gap
Carb: Holley 780 VS (after break in and dyno will be replaced with a DP)
I used all ARP hardware for the first time as well...

Quick question: When you guys put the sealant on your head bolts... how far up the threads do you usually go? I used Permatex #2 BTW.

 

wow sweet engine.

 

niiiice. Mines goin in soon too, its black but its a beauty! good work dood!
