Hey guys, i just thought some of you would like to see my new engine im putting together for my 70's altered, it makes me smile everytime i look at it and i have not started it yet. as you can see its just dummied up at the moment. i hope you like it.
i have a soild roller iskedarian cam for it, and the intake is a hot heads blower manifold, the ports were so large in the heads i could not use a cragar low profile blower manifold, the blower is a 6-71 Danakas.
Looks great !,.. I am putting one in a Deuce chassis for a pal right now,... ...Way cool, crazy heavy, sexy looking engine,.... This thing looks like Arnold Schwartznager riding a tricycle. Keep us posted.
Is that the body behind it? Please give some info and pics on the body and frame. Looks like it's going to be Bad Ass!!
Are you running a burst panel or the pop-off valve on the intake ? I have had numerous issues with the pop-off valve/springs on my intake which on my nostalgic drag car....
hi, im running a burst panel, have you measured the tension on the springs of your pop off plate, on the blower drive service web site, i found a measurment from the manifold to plate, so that would be the compressed length of the spring, providing you had their springs that should give you the correct pressure on the pop off plate. i cant remember the length but i'll have a look. what engine are you running and boost?
Nitro.....I'd love to. i'd just have to work a few more jobs to pay for parts. I'll be running it on methanol more forgiving and i do not have a great deal of experience, im learning a bucket load off a few guys i know.
