To an event near you, just working out the last few bugs.

 

Nice looking, what times are you shooting for?

 

We need more pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:hail:

 

I am shooting for 9.50-9.60 on motor, Low 8's with 300 hit.

 

Is that all? It looks like it should hit 8's with just the motor.

 

It is only a 400 SB in a 3600 lb car. You have a 469 BBC on
alcohol in a 3100 lb car and you are going 10.123 corrected ??

 

just a 400!!! ya. ummmmm those must be sb2 heads because of the individual runners on the intake! but anyhow WOW ! and i thought i had a plumbing nitemere

His name block thingy,

<------- ,

says 400 Olds Rocket.

Anyway, that is just incredible. Very nicely done. You definitely need to get some video of it up when you run it.


Also, what ignition system are you running? I definitely like the coil pack setup, never seen it setup like that before. Got any more info on it?

 

Details on the motor!!!

I was going to ask whether its an early or late Olds 400, but you wrote 400 SB; were there 'rocket' heads available for the SBC? I've seen rearranged SBC heads labeled Buick and Pontiac, but IIRC an unsuspecting observer wouldn't know it from regular SBC stuff (unless disassembled). Maybe a DRCE with a 3.125 stroke? j/k.

Looks incredibly nice, and compliments on the garage--it looks cleaner than my kitchen.

 

The motor is an Oldsmobile "Rocket" block. The block was made by Oldsmobile, for the GM racing program. It has raised decks, oil pan rails spread .800", big block cam journals and is quite a bit heavier than a Bowtie block and quite a bit stronger.
I found the block new, never used. It is a 400 CID 4.120" bore and 3.75" stroke. The heads are Buick symeterical port. They are better than SB2's on the exhaust and since this is a NOS motor that is what we were after. The intake is a custom made fabricated alum manifold with a fogger plumbed under it. You want to talk about plumbing nightmares !!
We did not want to compromise the intake design, therfore I had to lose the distributor. We ended up going with a MSD crank trigger, FAST E-DIST, and (2) MSD Dist-4 boxes. This allowed the intake design to remain the way we wanted it while allowing fuel and spark control to each cylinder independently. How are these for N/A HP numbers ? Remember this is a NOS motor set-up for a 300 shot. These numbers are with NO spray.

 

duhhh i missed the sig on the left

I am not to sure I will be able to make it to the Chicago area
in May, But I am always up for a race. The beginning of my summer is booked soild with house and car stuff. If you are ever
in the Detroit area or Norwalk we could definitely do that, Motor to Motor or on Spray?? Any wagers ??

 

That is beyond brutal.

Wow, dude.. killer ride!

 

IM me, we can arrange something.

 

They intake is beautiful someone did a real nice fabrication job there.

 

Can I take it to my grad?

 

That car is amazing man. I love it. Makes me wish I would have went ahead and built my 400. Oh well, soon enough. Can't wait to see some vids and times.
