Post it up big boy! Let's see the numbers and the dyno sheet!

wont be a dyno sheet, I'll start a thread though. I have nearly every part I need and only have 75 dollars cash in it, all the other stuff I had lying around from previous builds or traded for....... lotsa tradin'..........

this one would have been a lot cheaper if I didn't count any value for stuff I had laying around.

I made some really good trades........

some items were multi trades......

Yes but you still have something in the traded parts, everything isn't free.

You need to dyno it.

true, I'll try and sit down and put a dollar figure on it, even at that it wont be much......


just have to see on the dyno if the funds are there, it may be this summer before it goes totgether, I have a small project I'm working on now and the sbf deal has to get done first.

About $4,000

I'll come in well under half that..............

Cool, Get a thread started I'm interested in seeing how it all goes together.

Then..... Do a Burn Out with it !!

i will....... it will be set up for a bottle too........


just an old 64 swb parts chaser/ burger getter.......fun for the whole family....... hell i might drive it to tvrp and run true street w it.............track dyno.

Bump

Well I sold the top end off Cheap skate quite a few months back and now I'm going to redo it (again) and put it in my 1983 Mustang racecar.

Here's the new plan.

1) Install a new and more appropriate Cam Research Roller.... Specs 268-274 .783-.783 on a 108
2) New Lifters and a Double pinned timing set.
3) New set of 1.8 rockers.
4) Install a set of Ported Iron CJ heads with some New Lunati 74740 springs and TI retainers. The heads flowed around 370.
5) D&D 2 1/8" fox swap headers
6) New 1.80 Reid case glide and Convertor.
7) Race till it drops !

Compression is going to be down a bit to about 11.5:1 and flow is down around 20 cfm less, but with the revised camshaft, I'm expecting it to peak at about 400-500 RPM more and it should make about the same power. Opinions?

Should be together in a few months, I'm waiting on the cam to be ground and need to clear out a few things from my garage.

What's the EMC 572 going in?

Haven't decided yet, its sitting in Oakleys shop collecting dust.

1/8" headers is really going to choke that motor.

Whoops.... Dat be 2 1/8"....

Cam and lifters showed up.....

Have you ever got the engine and car together

Ended up selling the car to my buddy. The engine has all the pieces, just haven't put it together.

Been working on the Dragster and Stock Eliminator stuff lately.

What lifters are those? Cam research house brand? What are your thoughts on them?
