[91lxnos]

Need to pull the gas tank back out to replace the filler neck seal....thought the filler neck would go in with the tank in place my bad!!! I saw the head fixed at CRC wow there was alot of welding done on that thing I am going to try to get some pic's of the head under repair and maybe the shortblock today............:cool1:

[91lxnos]

Got a few pics of the heads under repair and the motor going together!!!!!:cool1:

[91lxnos]

Running a HVC/NX super sucker nitros plate (from BES). Adjustable to a 500shot and exhausting through some 1 chamber Flowmasters should sound good!!!!

[91lxnos]

few other things....

[Jeff88coupe]

Looks good. What caused the damage to the head? Drop a valve?

[91lxnos]

The damage was caused by the cam pin shering and the valves went out of time and I lost an intake valve and it punched a hole in the piston and the valve seat and valve ran amock in the combustion chmber. But all is well now:cool1: The second repair (less damage) was caused by the seat coming out in that cylender at the same time......The cam will have 2 pins in it this time!!!!!

[91lxnos]

Got all the break lines and hood hiondges done on car just waiting on the engine/trans to be completed!!!! Hope to have it at the track by the end of the month:bigthumb

MIKE

[Maximus]

I have PBM pistons in my 347..

[91lxnos]

The heads are stage three Vic Jr's and I bought them at a smokin deal 3 years ago. The repair was quoated from Heads Up for around 900.00 but my engine builder (CRC) had them fixed (welded up) for me at a local shop in Carlisle He (Dave and Ron) did all the machine work at the shop.....I am doing all I can to have it there at Powerfest keep your fingers crossed!!!!:bigthumb :bigthumb

[chad393na]

[91lxnos]

Agreed, the fabbed covers look awesome. Will the air cleaner match the valve covers?

I want to have a custom air intake fabed up like nascar....So it seals to the underside of the hood and only pulls air through the cowl panel. Any idea where I can get one?????????

[ibstrokin]

How many taps does it take to get to the center of a probe industries piston pop? (Those of you under age 30 probably won't get that joke).

[Foxxx5oh]

you gotta post up a video with sound, i cant wait to hear this beast breathe!

[5.0calypso93lx]

Please get rid of the fram oil filter. I honestly gained 10 psi of oil pressure once the car was warmed up just from switching to a motorcraft.

Well looks like i'm going to keep it... Had some friends over and started to install the tranny and tie up some odds and ends but ran into some problems but there solved now!!! Shooting for next Saturday to get her out and start tuning!! So cross your fingers. Thanks for the help....Chad393, 93HULK, rscoupe and Tonto.:bigthumb I'll post some more pic's later:coo1:

[mustangboy]

Smart man!! I've learned that in every build there comes a point where you just pretty much say f*** it and wanna quit. Usually if you put it to the side for a little while think things over and get some buddies to come help it will come together. The other thing I've learned that when taking it to the track for the first 10-20 passes or so always seems to be frustrating working out the new car blues. Hang in there sounds like it is almost over.

[chad393na]

Nothing like a successful c$%#k-block!!!!:D

[91lxnos]

Nothing like a successful c$%#k-block!!!!:D

OK!!!!! You nut nibbler..........:flipoff: you win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Timido]

I am gonna fire it up Sunday FO SHO

Oh yea Chad called again and said "You Dont Want NoNe"

[PonymanfiveO]

did it fire up Doug??????

[91lxnos]

Ran into spme issues will try tonight!!!!

[91lxnos]

I tried to fire her up last nite but I am having issues with the fuel pump (mechanical) I dont know if I need to "prime" it or what it is not pumping fuel! I have it running thru -8 line from a pick-up in the tank. I can feel the pump pushing air out the exit on the pump with the feed line off but no fuel. The battery is low and the motor isn't cranking super fast but enough to try and start when I pour gas in the carb....... any suggestions??????

[mustangboy]

Try putting fuel in the gas tank.;) I'm sorry I couldn't help myself. I'm going to guess that you really need to get that thing spinning good to get the fuel all the way to the front, especially the first time. So I guess give the battery a good charge and try it again. I guess if you wanna go all out you could remove the spark plugs so it cranks real easy and let it spin till it pumps fuel to the front.

[NXcoupe]

What kind of pump are you running?

[91lxnos]

Running a Holly Mech race pump. I hooked the holly Blue in line and primed the line I can leave it running and have fuel but as soon as I shut it off the car shuts down. I am thinking the Mech. pump is def>. Gonna take it off and inspect it and prob. send it back for a replacement. Meanwile I can run the car all motor on the Blue pump to break it in and set timing and such, but no spray yet BUT SOON!!!!!!!

[mustangboy]

Check out racepumps.com. They are a little more money but look like they would be a killer setup. Just an idea.:)

thanks i'll check it out.

[NXcoupe]

That would be my guess is the pump has taken a dump. Probably some crap from the lines got into the check valves inside and won't let it get a vacuum. Just a guess.

[91lxnos]

Went out to (2 pass Kil-kare) last nite and first full pass off trailer NA and untuned running on 2year old plugs and 93 oct. pump gas..

React--------- .542
60ft----------1.575
330-----------4.571
1/8-----------7.034
1/8mph-------99.40
1/4et---------10.993
1/4mph-------124.00

I am pleased, but will try to tune it some at Tri-state on Sat. and back to Kil-Kare on Sunday to beat up on some F-Bodies
Huge thanks to the Mafia for all their help and encourgement I'm glad I didn't sell it!!!!!!!!!!

[91lxnos]

I just got it all back together and upgraded the fuel system to a Magna Fuel300 pump and changed some jetting. We (chad393, and Quartermilerocket) took it up to Jeff at Precision Autosports in Bevercreek and he laid down a safe strong tune! Car wants to move out!!!! We will try it out on Thurs at Kilkare to see what we get. also got a new set of welds and 28x10.5 slicks to throw on and see what it will do before BG on Sat in wild street so stay tuned..

[Qtr milerocket]

Yeah Doug congratulations man your car put down some extremely impressive numbers and sounded killer!, I can't wait to see what it does Thursday at Kilkare! :bigthumb

Peace :cool2:

James

[ibstrokin]

Sounds good, now go beat the piss out of it.
