As always, sick build! Can't wait to see more updates!

 

 

Motors aren't my specialty, but I'm wondering if the plenum volume isn't insufficient...further it looks like there'd be room to increase that volume with a spacer plate. Also, the intake runner length couldn't be any shorter - this kill the low and mid range? Or does variable valve timing make it moot?

Anybody have a well informed opinion about this?

Thanks,

Scott, who isn't going to do a J-Swap...but it's fun to think about what I could slay with one

 

This is a drag car. High rpm only Spacer would help Im sure. I wont know until the car is done and I can test it.

 

Will be looking forward to hearing about it - Thanks

Scott, who isn't a drag racer, but I do drag race from corner to corner to pass the time more quickly

 

I was about to say the same thing. lol
Lower power bands are ideal for street cars, but when you operate in the high rpm range there is no care for lower power bands. Also, if it was a street car, these motors make too much torque for such a light chassis. With mine, if I decide to drive it on the street, even in 3rd gear I spin the tires when I floor it from low rpms. Unless Im on my dyno tires, then only 1st gear is useless, lol

 

Final pieces to the fuel system
Shes fighting me around every corner. But we will get it there.

 

 

 

More goodies have arrived
Shocked how very well built and heavy duty this display is.

 

Dang! It looks like its getting so close. I really cant wait to see it done. Makes me want to go back to building my J series.

 

nice attention to details in this build up sir .

 

Can't wait to see the next set of updates!

 

New wheels have arrived

 

 

Rough draft

 

 

First coat done

 

Any new updates?

 

Cams are finally in

 

regrinds?

 

I think P2R said they were billet

 

to run those you need custom length valves and valvesprings (all untested and custom,so wait time is huge).witch is total pain in the *** for .517 lift. im getting a set of regrinds for now .470 lift that work with everything i already have.

 

No too bad of a wait time man. Inline Pro will have my heads done in 3 weeks. (Complete valvetrain to support the cams)

 

Commin along! Im debating on starting back on my j build. But I really like having it as a street car and Im pleased with its performance on the track. Its a perfect 11.5 index car. I run consistent 11.5s in it. But we'll see.
