Split from Jethro's engine thread http://nswcorvettes.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,9199.msg1045946613.html#new (http://nswcorvettes.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,9199.msg1045946613.html#new)
................ I guess the Judgement date will be when I get Priscilla lined on up a 1/4 mile :grin:
You wish. :bouncesmile: I guess you haven't heard. My new bench mark will be the Dodge. Presently building a try power (or a six pack as we call them in the Mopar fraternity) weapon for it. Indy allow heads, Mopar block and 540 cubes of cam lumping, revving grunt. Target minimum is 600hp at the flywheel. Already got the Gearvendors overdrive and molly tail shaft and yokes fitted ready to take the new heart.

Who, me? Naaa. :smilegrin:
It's not a Hemi. Magnum big block 440 bored and stroked. Hence the new Mopar block as they are already cast to allow for stroking
Anyhow I'm hi-jacking Jethro's thread here.
Get the thing done and in Jethro. Forgot what the beast looks like, as I only have a memory of it in Priscilla rear view mirror. Sorry, couldn't help myself :bolt:

Nothing like the sound of a big block on full song :drool:
LOL The thing is not even built yet. Heading over there tomorrow, Thursday, to check out the progress and take some snaps of the bits and pieces.
Don't worry, I'll be posting a video when we do the engine Dyno run :evilone:

Looked very hard into that. But I wanted it all to fit under the pop up airgrabber and it just became too hard so shelved it..... for now

Had all the machining done in the states by some drag racing engine builder buddies of my friend and engine builder John Kuiper. I'll post some pics of the block once it's in the clean room and unwrapped.
Not many specialty Mopar guys here so got everything sourced by Johns mates for me and had it shipped over by US Muscle Cars (http://usmusclecars.com.au/), (Mick & Yvette). It all turned up in a big wooden crate. Best parcel I've ever unwrapped :grin2: I'm getting excited :pepper:

Nice real nice are the chambers CC matched too?

Pics of the block and some other goodies. If I break this one I give up :lol:

Ahh my young apprentice :therethere: Mopars have a separate valley cover. We can take off our intake manifolds without uncovering our oily valleys. No hasals to ensure you have it oily tight if one elects to remove the intake manifold later.
Also allows the intake manifold to run cooler. No water runs through our intake manifolds either. :shades: :drag:

I wonder which is the best way to go
Is it better to have your engine blow up on a dyno or some where down the 1/4 mile.
What happened to the times of run it, pull the plugs make your best estimate and adjust fuel timing etc.
observing what the engine is telling you,
When she runs sweet ( a little dark in the exhaust ) its all good.
When it goes F&n bang it time to start over again.

What the magic number you have rolling around in the back of your head ?

I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you. :bouncesmile:
Hard to tell. On paper it should be 900 hp at the flywheel but I'd be happy if I got 600-700ish. Biggest restriction is the intake manifold. It's a stocker which I needed to keep it all under the hood

Be a while yet. Got the few little mechanical bugs sorted and changed to a solid roller cam follower rather than hydraulic roller. Now playing with the carbies. i.e I need a bigger primary. The volumetric efficiency of this thing is through the roof. This is what I get for being stupid enough to do something that's a bit different :lol:

So whats the number that came out for the Baker Boys Engine Dyno in Orange CammO ?
Jethro

Haven't been yet. Had to get a new centre carby custom made. The original couldn't keep up. That took about a month to get done in USA. Just fitted it so hoping to get to orange very shortly.
That's 1570 cfm sitting on top :thud:
-
Thats ok Cam it will make it much easier to calculate mpg you wont need to use double figures LOL

Mate I would not worry about MPG
I would covert to MPB it will be must easier to work out
M miles

You bought a 1570 carby. Yep I bought a 1570 carby. You gonna need a bigger fuel tank.

600HP, thought that was ok with the manifold restrictions. It really wanted to pull/breathe more but I aint having no carbies on a taller manifold sticking out through my hood.
But the torque....... 700 foot pounds (that's all but 950 nm) all happening under 5800rpm.
I'm going to need more tyres... gearboxs.... diffs.... axles :lol:
I'm happy :pepper: :banana:

I cant recall, just waiting for the sheet to be emailed to me but it starts to pull really hard from about 2500

That's the drivers side headers done. Got to take my hat off to young Jerremy at Liverpool Exhaust. I have better access to the steering box and spark plugs than I did with the old motor and manifold. Pipes are smaller at heads and get larger as they make their way down into the collector. i.e. stepped headers

She's going well. Just tweaking a bit at a time all of those six barrels to get the plugs running the right colour. With each tweak get a little more out of her. Tweaked up the suspension to resolve some axle hop. So all good in the world of Mopar.... bar fuel consumption. But what does one expect with 1570cfm sitting on top :grin:
