I don't know the guy....but I know that he uses good parts...ARP stuff and parts from my buddy Doug Garifo.... ;)

ERA Chas 08-16-2011 06:19 PM
POP! Yes quality stuff from both.

patrickt 08-16-2011 06:22 PM
... and I reckon it looks something like this:

Yup.......

Since I'm a distributor for Pro Gram, I thought hard about using their billet cross bolted caps, but it would require a lot more machining and I have my theories about how the girdle would be stronger. We'll see.

Now that bridge on the bottom end makes sense. A 1.35 motor. The heads will need to be 350 or so, no? Also, I found the cams' lobe lifts but not the gross lift. Please enlighten (or repeat if I missed).

blykins 08-17-2011 02:44 AM
Heads will have to be "special".... ;)

Lift at the valve is around .630" with a 1.76 ratio.

ERA Chas 08-17-2011 07:21 AM
It should be easy to do. I make 550 with a .633 exhaust and 320 heads-with less displacement-427.

... and you're putting that motor in a pickup truck?%/

blykins 08-17-2011 10:09 AM
That's the plan.

blykins 08-22-2011 05:19 PM
Well here's your update, Patrick.

Thought I would take a break and work on my own stuff, since it is my birthday and everything.

Got the girdle mocked up, matched the oil pump feed hole from the girdle to the block, then started to drill/tap all the lifter galley holes for pipe plugs.

Got 2 done, broke a tap.

I'm done for the day.

patrickt 08-22-2011 06:05 PM
OK, I know what the problem is...

... you probably had too much pressure in the keg. If the beer comes out all foamy, then there's too much pressure and you'll break your tap.:cool:

No biggie, got it out....

Sminor 08-25-2011 07:22 PM
Hey Brent,
Haven't had time to check all the posts in the last few days. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!:D I wish you many happy returns to the day (broken tap notwithstanding). Hope the family is doing well.
steve

blykins 08-25-2011 07:49 PM
Thank you Steve....much appreciated.

All galley holes are tapped now....block is ready for machining.

patrickt 09-02-2011 05:39 AM
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.;)

blykins 09-02-2011 07:13 AM
Oh brother.....
