Alright heads went back on today. but ended up having to pull one side back off and change the head gasket. So Looks like tomorrow will be install and driven for any mechanical issues. So here is the money spent list.

S/B rebuild + R/R 5200.00
TQ convertor 396.00 and trade for old one
8-rib kit 653.00
tensioners 115.00
C/C plates 199.00
Canton oil pan 290.00
Hi volume oil pump 54.00
Billet trigger wheel 94.00
Bigger gear for trigger wheel 19.00

I figure another 240.00 for new bypass valve
200-300 for dyno time
500.00 for gas and oil changes for the break in.

Damn I'm glad the build didn't cost more. I'm fugg'n' broke!

 

Friday, Friday, Friday can this day go any slower?

 

Me 2, we can all take it around the town/city and help break it in

 

I felt the same way when the day came for me to pick the car up with the blower on it. I had planned on going to watch the tune session and wound up stuck at work until 3:30 that afternoon. They had the car done by noon and had called me with the numbers.

 

Well motor is finished thanks to having samll heads 46cc heads I have 9.4:1 C/R. They said it will take to the boost no problem and I'll need to just hae the heads re-worked later down the road. Here are some pics...

 

Did you put headers on, since everything is out?

 

No since I couldn't find any used ones, and a person who could have got them here by last wed. But when the K-mamber get yanked in about 4 months new headers will get on their. I think with removing the brace under the car I'll be able to fit some L/T's as well.

 

motor was in tranny hooked up still waiting on some word of if I'm getting the car back tonight or this weekend.

 

New day no car:censored: , but my light bar came in. It's going to be installed monday night. IF I EVER GET MY CAR BACK!

 

Picking the car up shortly. Needs tune but that was expected. Car idle's fine but it wants to stall when I come to a stop. Also with the higher stall it doesn't shift as hard as it did before. That's normal as well. So I'll have pics and ideo up this afternoon, I gotta get some miles on the engine then get the light bar installed!


It's back baby.

 

Alright fixed the stalling on my own. Assclowns broke the T fitting for the VAC/BOOST guage. Well car runs awesome. Also had to fix the bracket and re-align the blower belt. I still get dust, But I haven't even seen the boost yet so babing it for the drive to the dyno then opening it wide open from their. I hae been haing to deal with some issues today so didn't get a chance to make a video or update pics. Tomorrow night I promise. Well off to bed leaving for Kuaffmans at 7am.

 

Alright well made 17psi with the P-1 and 400hp and 407 tq. Actually couldn't get grip on the dyno so the tq numbers are very low but dave said anywhere from 425-435tq! I have much more left in it but decided to wait on cams and springs before I go for more. Dave did an outstanding job getting my stuff to work right!

 

thats all you got at 17psi>???? are you sure its at 17 psi? you more than double the psi made your engine bigger all for 20hp

 

Yea, I don't think thats right. I'm running 350rwhp with only 8 psi....

 

Yeah that doesn't sound right at all. How much timing and what was the a/f ratio?

 

A/F is 11.8 flat and timing is 16* Dave said he didn't want to get hateful with the timing and A/F.

 

Hey dont forget the vids and more pics!
