here is some pics so far

 

Nice, i think one day i might go with a centrifical if i dont gop with a single turbo.

Looks killer.

 

that is some major -cc on top of those pistons. trying to have it run on pumped gas are we?

 

It will be 8.5 to 1 compression so pump gas i will also have methanol injected

 

Cool, how much you expecting to make with that combo? I wanted to go roots on this last build with another set of heads, but all of the single carbed blowers that i looked at would only support ~550 at the crank from what i was told with out overdriving the hell out of them.

 

I am not looking for alot of horsepower we are hoping for about 500 at thr rear wheels or around that i just always wanted a supercharger i am not much on the dual carb not really sure what it will do but i do want to take it to the dyno

 

What kind of pistons are thoes ..... you got a part number?

 

They are srp and i can get you a part number

 

They are from erwparts.com there part number for them is 148750 and they are srp 31cc reverse dome forged

 

Thanks you

 

Looking good. Which heads are those?

 

They are pro comp aluminum heads

 

Here is a couple new pics

 

Im really liking the setup. Ive always wanted to do a S/C build but went w/the HSR and a good dose of compression instead. Who makes those valve covers?

 

I bought them off ebay for like 85 shipped they look really good i think something differant

 

yea they look really good. ive been looking for a nice fabricated valve cover. im thinking of going with some Wysco's from Jegs if I can get them non-chromed.

 

Well its been a while but after getting after my mechanic it should be done by the end of june will post pics asap after finished

 

Finally got the motor in the car will post pics in the next day or two

 

That looks sweet! What size blower is that? How much boost do you anticipate you'll get from it with the pulley you have?

Oddly enough, I should be dropping my blown engine in the bay in a little over a week. Gotta say I'm jealous you can run a big cap HEI distributor with that setup, because I couldn't with mine which forced me to buy a whole new one....

 

Supercharged, lightly sand down the areas on the block where rust is starting to become prevalent (fuel pump, waterpump, etc.), and once your finished, lightly coat the area with some olive oil. This will prevent rust from developing in those areas again until your ready to install everything, and just before you install the parts, spray the area with some carb cleaner first to remove the olive oil from the block. You mentioned that the engine is already in the bay, so if the parts were already installed, then take the advice for any furture builds....

 

Here are the pics in the bay tranny is connected also just not bolted tight.that is whay the motor is tilted so much.Should be driving by end of the june.The blower is a 144 running around 6 or 7 psi stock hopefully




Demon 825 carb

 

Also just a heads up this will most likly be for sell when finished

 

Little update the drivetrain is all good to go,subframe connecters are in all exhaust work should be done by end of this week.Saturday planning on wireing it up and hopefully starting it.I will post pics this saturday of the progress

 

 

I believe the valve covers are Pro-Comp. I have the same ones i got off a racingjunk.com seller, i think i paid the same as you did

 

The car should be running by this weekend and the date to pick up is friday the 27th.He is going to turn down the rev limiter to 4500rpm for the weekend then after i give it back the following weekend he will fine tune and set it for 6000 rpm where it will stay.Will keep everyone updated.Its getting close finnaly after 6 months

 

Looks good, what size hood you running?. I have a 3 inch cowl. Wonder how close it would be? Good luck!

 

It is a 4 inch ther is about a half inch between the top of airfilter and hood.Should be running this weekend hopefully

 

post some vids..

 

Did you get it going?

 

nope not yet soon i hope

 

Hell yeah--that motor is some real eye candy!

Can't wait to see a vid of the car running. Keep us updated!

 

The Good:
Drove the car today and have to say wow Tire frying sob plenty of power and only on 4 psi.Rolling 25 mph floor it and leave posi up the road still need more boost and more timing


The Bad:
3rd and overdrive do not work.Bought the trany off ebay new rebuilt my a$$ Guy is also no longer a registerd user so it all me.Will be another couple weeks till done

 

Wow that sucks about your trany. So how much power do you think you will have when its all finished?
kevin

 

What size cam are you running, is it roller or non?

 

I just ordered what my brother told me to order so i have no idea i will find out next time i talk to him

 

Talked to my brother tonight he got it out and apart.It was never rebuilt the 3rd and overdrive clutches was black and the case needs replaced some of the pins are wore bad enough where they are almost threw the case.I will keep you updated.

 

ditch the overdrive tranny junk and get a TH350, they are cheap, plentiful and strong. Doesn't sound like your worried about gas mileage anyway. check craigslist.com they range 100-200 used.

 

No i want the overdrive for traveling to car shows on interstate 81 and visiting friends and family

 

+1, my th-350 blows for highway travel.

 

Got a case for 40 bucks will be ordering the rest of the rebuild parts monday morning.

Also something to think about this will be up for sale or partial trade when finisihed.It cost way more than planned and took alot of extra money i hate to do it but i have no choice.Will keep you posted and will make a new thead of coarse for thr sell or partial trade

 

Well a little update i got the car today.The only thing in the tranny is still bad,it needs a new one i brought it home to decide wht i want to do.I drove it home in first and second its only 5 miles and speed limit is 35 to 45 so no big deal.car has lots of power runs great.going to clean and wax it and a couple other things before i decide.I am going to do one of three things
1.clean it up sell as is
2.get new tranny sell it
3.get new tranny and keep it

Not really sure yet a blast to drive but i have alot of money in it and not sure if i want to put more in it.

 

I say get a tranny & keep it for awhile.

 

find a th350 for 200 bucks throw it in and drive it for a while

 

I am going to keep it and fix some things.First i have to rejet carb get a better water pump an radiator.I have it all apart right now waiting on parts it is in my garage now i am doing mostly myself with some coaching from my brother.Will get some pics soon.

 

whatever happened to a video?

 

I only drove it about 5 miles home and thats it i will get a video when it is all fixed up

 

Got new water pump radiator rejeted carb and a couple other little things done.Will post ne pics and i will try to post video i never did that before

 

Cant wait to see some vid!!
