Hey Gang, I would like to know the status of the BIG Block eng. aftermarket projects, and those involved, how are things progressing? what updates are there? and how far along are each of these projects. Completion estimates? Costs?availability? Christmas is coming, hello Santa? I want a....cast Iro....err, allumin.......ummmmm? Bruce
I'll take either!!! As long as it is wrapped up real nice with a bow! But don't forget the nice run stand to go with it.:grin:
Bruce, I'll be posting both in the Buildsheet and the board on my project, which will include three new products for the BB guys. So far Steve Reynolds of SRE Performance set up a new dynamite oiling system kit for the high HP motors. Complete kit comes with Peterson external vac/oil pump, all the custom made brackets to bolt it onto the 455, custom deep oil pan and valve covers hook ups etc. Everything except maybe one or two russel lines. I should be getting it this week. I'll lay it out and post some shots. A real sweet system taylored for BBB guys. Also posting will be TA Performance's new Stage 1 TE heads. Jim Weise has them now and is looking to get the most out of them. So far it looks good, with the potential for Stage 2 heads flow numbers, we'll see in time. Hopefully by the end of November I'll have them....right Jim???:Brow: Also in the cooker is TA Performance new Stage 1 headers with 2 1/8th inch tubes. Like I said earlier this engine project is shooting for a strong 750 HP on the dyno and some 9.20-30's at the track (have to wait for February for the track times) Will be posting all the details on the build-up. Rob and Jeff at Stage 1 Auto are going to do the assembly, dyno and set-up along with a concerned and anxious owner...me. This project combined will be using the ideas of an engine project on paper, then off to building it, moved to dyno time, and then to where it all matters, at the track. Need to keep up with you mid western guys:moonu: for Norwalk this Spring. With a bump in the 9.50's, no doubt it may drop even lower:shock: Rick Martinez
We're talkin' bout aftermarket stuff! New aluminuminum or iron blocks with all the new mods so we can build 1k+ hp engines that can get better than 6000 rpm. But I can't wait to see the numbers J.W. gets Rick's heads to flow. :Brow:
Um Rick...Bruce was asking how the replacement engine block projects are coming. You know..from Bull Dog and T/A. See that. I explained it to you and I didn't even abuse you at all! (squid) Oops, I couldn't help it. o No: :laugh:
Oil pump Hey Rick.I saw the eliminator cars running the external pump back in 98 in the eliminator class.The yellow car and the gold car both had the same setup.The apollo car looked like a diff setup.I think they were from Illinois.I know they were running them when i went there in 2001 , but i didnt go there this year.There setup looked diff than the sre setup.Hope things work well on your combo.
