Well, another two and a half weeks have passed...

Finally getting my head above water again.
Plan to take the block to have it baked/tumbled/cleaned/pressure tested next week. Scat is on national backorder for FE crankshafts, so unless I get creative, I may be waiting a long while. |
Now we're making progress.:) Make sure you take pics of everything as you plod through the process.
|
I've got a picture of the cam sitting on top of the block, do you want that one?
|
Yes, please.:3DSMILE:
|
|
That's awesome. More please. :LOL:
|

|
Social Security will be bankrupt before this one's done...:LOL:
|

This is an awesome thread... in fact it's pushed me over the edge in my decision on what engine to build:confused:! 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:3DSMILE:! 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:rolleyes:... and once you get yours done that will give you more time to warm up to putting the SFT in my engine:p.

Thanks for the entertainment guys. |
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. |
