Wazza, opportunity presents itself...
You can turn that dart into a 363.
:-)

That'll scare those ls babies...
Gidy up

Wazza 08-07-2011 01:22 AM

It was tempting...

but wanted to use all the bits I already had....

no need for new pistons etc. etc.....

When these ones have only done a couple of hundred "Careful" :eek:Kilometers !

Any particular reason the engine is running a touch rich there Wazza :confused:

Tenrocca 08-07-2011 05:17 AM

The gloveless assassin......:)

Great pics, not even god for a coffee table though.

Philm 08-07-2011 05:18 AM

Balance is now returned.

Looks good Wazza.

Dimis, they are already scared.

Hi Rog,

Not really....always has run slightly rich ,the dyno mob sets it that way...normally don't see it, but I'm giving it a bootfull in that pic...it's probably "screaming "!

Great shot Phil....LOVE it !...

But what will I do when I get the LS7 up and running ??.....

Will I be considered to be BI-ENGINAL !!??

I thought I was very STRAIGHT FORD, but perhaps I'm a LS-BIAN !!!!!:eek:

Cheers,
Warren.

Well Wazza, if perhaps you're LS-BIAN you could be in for some painful PERIODS :eek: :LOL:

Wazza 08-07-2011 06:07 PM

Not sure about that , but I really want to lick the opposition at the Nationals....does that count ??

Anyway...if I drive really quickly....er....you know......lickety split....my LAP times should be respectable.

See what you've started ??

Anyway...enough of that...I'm off to the workshop to do some deburring and prep a nice new block.

Cheers,
Warren.

OZVENOM 08-23-2011 06:32 AM

enough smut talk
 
The new dart engine is finally all buttoned up with a little bit of bling on top i just hope it goes as good as it looks. will be back in its home this week.
let the nationals roll on .
better get back to work got a few cars to get ready.:cool:

Rick Parker 08-23-2011 09:15 AM

Leverage can do great things, both good & bad.

Ralphy 08-23-2011 09:47 PM

Wazza, I never Split My Windsor, but I've busted my ass more than once. That's some pretty heavy art work you have. A real conversation piece.

Wazza 08-24-2011 05:58 AM

Nearly all finished.....

Decided a Red and Black engine might be luckier than the previous engines....
(Ford Blue, Black and Silver...etc. etc.)

All headers painted black today....

might end up looking a bit Retro when it's all finished.
but it's a bit of fun anyway.

All going back in on Friday....ready for next weekend's racing....

( A Series sprints at Warwick )



That's one way to run it in !!!!!


Cheers,
Warren.

Modena 08-24-2011 06:33 AM

07cob 08-24-2011 02:07 PM

"Go Fast" Red car, "Go Fast" red engine and to top it all off, a "Go Fast" red dipstick handle. Looks great and should ... go fast!

Geof

Towmaster 08-24-2011 04:48 PM

Hey Ash...that's good news pal....I'm certainly OVER getting the engine back together...but it seems that it will be all good in a day or so.

As far as LETTING Proc win this weekend......

I'm all for that....you know what I always say....it's all about the camaraderie. ;)

Let me get in front of you, so I can "control" any urges you get to drive too quickly...

You can trust me .:3DSMILE:

Cheers,
Warren

Rob. Smith 08-25-2011 05:00 AM

Wazza...You painted an alloy block ? Doesn't that make the heat dispersion a bit slower ?
The red looks good but...?

Wazza 08-25-2011 05:12 AM

It's not an alloy block....

The Dart Iron block is many times stronger than a standard Windsor block....

Would like to have an Alloy block , but way more expensive...

See attached link as an example.
