Made the throwout spacer. Rougly 1.375 I'd and 2.5 od and .7 legnth. For use with a 1697-c throwout bearing, sag 4 speed, monza bell housing, and...
Cool stuff. A possible issue I see with that turbo is I don't think that header is going to pulse the twin scroll correctly if the motor has a...
Got it. Just need to get a bolt for the clutch and a few more the oil pan and it's ready to go in. I did have to sand the input pilot surface a bit.
I'm going to try to poke it in there at 1.022 and see how it fits. I have an hour of manufacturing and 2 of autos and things get done in high...
My measurements in 3 spots are 1.0235 1.018 1.0215. What should I turn the pilot bearing down to make it as tight as possible without crushing it?...
Got it drilled. I won't share what I accidentally did to the pilot bushing I had, it's embarrassing how I messed up. But drilled it 1/4 inch deep...
I think I'll get it with an 8th of step up from 5/8 tomorrow. Hell, my jeep with a sbc and 465 ran no pilot for 75000. Grabbed funny but did break...
Alright, well damm. Lesson learned, when drilling for accuracy with handheld equipment, step up drill bits little by little. Picture explains...
I believe beyond a reasonable doubt that some motor out there uses our timing chain set up. Can someone tell me why his photos aren't allowed?
So sitting in a boat these have a front and rear sump, the front sump is where the pump hangs. My 470 holds 5.5 quarts. From bottom of pan to...
Lots of directions to go for power. Seal the deck stud the mains find a forged crank. Kaase boss 9 heads move 405 cfm. Now making a cam wouldn't...
Or just take out weight and make sure it's balanced. Not hard. Where ever you can cut weight do it.
Got the throwout bearing spaced with a bunch of washers welded to it. Definetly imbalanced. But next is to drill the crankshaft and then it's...
Just found the solution to my starter issue. I found this after I bought the hard to find cast bracket for my old style starter. Google 3.7 high...
The stress riser fact is on the mind. My dowel pins line up. If this bell breaks I'll just have to find a 4 cyl monza housing because it uses that...
Gm 10.4 clutch. Pic of the throwout fork is with the bearing touching the plate. I need the fork way back. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Here is the driver side ebay header. Going to work great. You can also buy conversion flanges to bbc style. [ATTACH]
Also, I sold the 80 sunbird and bought a car 600 pounds lighter. A 71 vega! With this power to weight ratio I'll be in high 13 second power to...
When I am at school tomorrow I'll get a picture of my eBay header. Had to buy 2 for $100 but built well. But here is a v8 monza bellhousing....
I got my head for $300 used. Not that great but 325 cfm at .650 is great. Too bad my cam is only 220 degrees with 500 lift.
I got a cheap Chinese scj head and just going to slap it on with studs. I also got a set of eBay headers and the driver side worked fine just had...
https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=952071 here is a cheap method to close a deck. Our chuggers might need 2 bottles of stuff.
Going to clarify a few things. The block is 1 inch deeper could be 1.125 off my measurements. Or my 78 block us anyway. I know people who have...
It's a centrifugal pump so it pulls water in from the center and throws it out. The impeller has straight blades and turns cw.
The intake definitely needs water. Mine will be set up in the same way my 2.5 was. Too complicated to explain but will allow for my heater core....
Pictures. It's a pita to upload them. Crappy and I apologize. Tomorrow I will have one where it's welded in and sitting perfect. Well we all know...
Notching the oil pan. Got to see the crank. It's a 78 and it's cast. Pretty big on the inside. H body gm cars have a center link that loves to get...
I don't go on hamb much. But I am working on putting a 78 470 in a 80 pontiac sunbird. Notching the oil pan tomorrow, so far using a tall throwout...
I know there huge! Those could support some power!
Use 6.7" rods from the bbc and custom pistons and bearings from another application. You can grind and put material on the bearing surfaces as...
