Update on future build

[Tim Hensley]

I was really lucky my ported irons and stock ported intake from Champion the fit was perfect. I have a set of aluminum Champion that look like ported irons, I bet the intake ports are the same size and location. Got to love CNC.

Alrighty, let's see where I can begin...

My goal is a low 10 second capable combination, and Bison went from there with suggestions and whatnot.

Currently, I have a pt6262 and ptc 3k L/U converter with single nozzle Alky. After sharing this info with him, he said I'd drive right through the converter with mid 10 second power and suggested an upgrade. He said the 62 all in should be able to get the job done if I have a intercooler with low pressure drop. I haven't gotten the details on the cam as of yet. I'll have that ordered sooner than later and I'll be able to share the info once that stuff is in hand. 

Definitely a street car for sure, with an occasional WOT pull and a RARE track visit. I got a chance to ride in a Buick few weeks ago that run 9.70's and ummmm......... ...Let's just say that an 11lb boost pull in that thing was ridiculous, and it was set to 26. These cars are stupid when running right. I don't think I could've survived a 15 lb pull. Lol

So to answer the question, yes Brian is helping me with the combo being put together. He's super smart and helpful with everything and i look forward to the car. I dont look forward to the money being spent for the tranny though. LOL!!!!

All it takes is money and more money and the drive to go faster every time you hit the track.  My opinion is that these cars stop being fun when you get out of the tens (Okay, Dan, I will give you 9.90s. LOL)

Yup !! $$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$ and mo $$$$$$$. PUT IT IN THE 10'S AND LEAVE IT ALONE . I will go forever. No brainer.

Thats the goal!!

Hey gentleman. Just checking in to let you all know we got got started on assembly this past Friday. I'll update with some photos once I get home. I'm pretty excited about this build though. Thanks for all the help again. This coming Friday we should be ready to install the rods and pistons. I'm still waiting on the aluminum heads and the cam. Hope everyone is doing well!

[Steve Wood]

That is good news!  Show us the pics when you have them

[phil_long]

im going to have to resize the photos apparently.

[Steve Wood]

800x600 works well

[nocooler]

Typical 4/8 megapixel stuff I just do a flat 25% resize.

I was going to comment on the rocker ratio as well.  What size cam are you running?  Usually the higher rocker ratio helps when running a smaller cam.

[phil_long]

hopefully these come through

[phil_long]

I'll upload more like the crank. Im not sure why the other ones posted like that.

Regarding the Cam and Rocker ratio, I'll provide those details after I receive everything.

[Forzfed]

Looks good!  I'm sure Bison will make that thing move.  He most definitely knows what he is doing.  No need to worry there.

Got the roller rockers and roller cam in. Looking like a 212/212
