This is an awesome thread... in fact it's pushed me over the edge in my decision on what engine to build  ! Thanks to Patrick...
Brent, as long as Pat is buying SFT cams, let's do the 331 we talked about, but with a flat tappet  ! Just tell him what to order from Bullet  . 'Course, I'm on the same slow train as you with my build... but hey, they can keep each other company on the engine stands in your shop  ... and once you get yours done that will give you more time to warm up to putting the SFT in my engine  .

No offense Patrick, but if you take a picture of my bump-stick with that doggie you'll need to put a bag over her head...

Paul, you need a roller cam.
I'm using this cam for 3 reasons:
1. It was free.
2. This is my engine, not a customer's engine, so no real liability.
3. I'm curious to see how the nitriding and fancy lifters will work.
By the time a regular customer buys a $$$ nitrided cam and $$$$ fancy lifters, you're over the cost of a typical SBF hydraulic roller combination.
You also need something bigger than a 331. ~370ci, hydraulic roller, AFR heads, 500hp. Badda boom, badda bing. |

I didn't mean it like that Patrick. My point was that due to a budget (something some of you guys have no clue about) and staying busy here, things may not move for long periods of time.

We're not gonna let him get down. C'mon, he's got guys all over the globe watching what he's doing and rooting for him. Now he's just got to get off his ass and start getting some work done. This "I'm busy" crap only flushes for so long. There's an old saying in the south -- if you want something done quickly, give the job to a busy man.  |

I expect to have the block back this Friday. It will be all prettied up, ready to do some grinding and drilling on it.

She's at it again...
Well that secretary of mine is at it again. Not only did she tickle today for a progress report from you on how you're coming on the engine but she even flagged a note to make sure you didn't leave that little plug out that goes behind the distributor. She says that you're going to forget that plug and then you won't have any oil pressure.  I said you're brighter than that, but when she gets something in her head she can be tough to deal with so it's best to just get out of her way. I told her that since it's a Friday before a three day weekend that she should just knock off early, but she said she won't do that until you post an update.  So maybe you should get to it, just to make my life a little easier. |
