oMG, the sound!! 26b 4 rotor love

updates. cage and few other bits done.

I still sort of regret not fitting an ally front clutch drum when I rebuilt my tranny instead of the old sintered iron one. If only because 727s have a history of grenading when the sprag fails. (If it fails in 1st - front drum rotates at double engine rpm!!! Urgh...)

I know glides don't have the same problem (not sure on th350 400s.) I still need to stick in a prop loop.

.....And some 3.73s....

you have to draw the line somewhere though as you can spend coin forever.

just chatting to cage guy, should all be done this week. yippee, then clean inside up and hit it with a some white.

Are you shielding the transmission/putting a prop loop in and so on?

no scatter blanket for this level of hp. will run a tailshaft loop.

Have faith fella, have faith.

ha. trying to.

Making rapid progress with that mate.

yeah, may slow down if i don't sell my other car though. if it does sell, could finish in 6mths though :)

someones been putting up scaffolding in me car

engine also down at buddys workshop. he's an engine builder.

busy day chasing up loose ends. got some dry ice to take out all the tar from the inside. most of it came off with just a big spatula, only used the dry ice on the stubborn bits. overall pretty clean, few bits of surface rust, but after a bit of kill rut and a lick of paint, you wouldn't tell the difference.

swapped over the drag wheels, 15x4 interceptors with 165/80/15 federals and 15x8 with 235/60/15 MT drag radials, all fitted nice and snug. then pulled out the powersteering and cleaned up the k-frame, then put in a manual rack. also pulled all the engine wiring out and most of the under dash stuff. just need to unclip the wiring in the boot and it will be all out. while it was together i took a pic of what the end product will roughly look like, the bonnet and grill need to be painted white and silver respectively.

got home and found my manifold waiting.

Tubs?

already mini-tubbed and can fit a 275/60/15 drag radial (equivalent to a 28x10 slick)

bored, so bolted up engine plates mounts and dizzy cover to check fitment. might be able to use the plate to mount the alternator and make it adjustable. found a place to get dry ice, so probably wed will go take out all the tar. need to label and remove loom as well.

work started on my new car. going to dedicated drag car, as the police have cracked down stupidly on modified cars. first thing to strip the interior, as 6 (maybe 8) point cage to be done in the next few weeks. will also use a solid engine plate to mount the engine.

taken delivery of the engine and started talking to the right people.

brm's new rear shock set-up in the back of the mg

I'm much better with bike carbs (not much difference.) It's a pain in the arse trying to tune lumpy engines not to fall on their arse at small throttle openings. So doesn't matter at all for drag racing. You going 4150 or 4500?

sorry missed this. going a quickfuel e85 950-Q series, so 4150

put an ls1 in friends xj6 recently, that was more fun!

here is the roadkill episodes on jewtube
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL12C0C916CECEA3BC

people, check out the series called "Roadkill" by the guys from Hot Rod magazine, very entertaining. favourite it the elcamino engine swap in the parking lot of summit racing.

ls engines run 58psi, whats that 4 bar. sounds like the wrong size. rubber or viton?!

i know nothing of carb's but i want to learn. lucky there is a new section on ls1tech dedicated to carbs :) . only problem is i'll be running an e85 carb. still lots of info floating around.

also i dare not play with electrics in an old car ever again.

3 words. budget, drag, car. i care not for idle but 7k+ rpm.

just bought a 6.0 litre L98 engine for my new project car. engine de-laminated one of the main bearings, but crank is untouched. perfect for me as was going to re-do most of the bearings. this is a later version of the Ls1 specifically for australia (same engine in my other car). much better starting point as it has the L92 rectangular port heads, which flow 312cfm factory. going to be a lot easier to squeeze out some hp. still going single plane manifold and carby though. so selling a lot of shit that comes with engine, so get an engine for very very cheap.

Sweet project man, nothing beats the sound of an angry n/a engine winding out. Amazing how those light cars will hook even without massive rubber.

this vette has similar cam and engine combo i'm currently looking at. if that doesn't make you happy in the pants there is something wrong.

Yep, max i should need is 255/60/15 radial, which is equiv to 27x8 slick.

Not my scene though. Like my current engine, with right mods and not necessarily big $$'s, i think i can do 650+hp on e85. Will be angry engine though.

If wanted to go fast i'd just buy a 600+ cube big block chev. Can get 1300hp race engine, turnkey $us25k.

never been a turbo/nitrous fan. like the engineering required for n/a engines.
