so what are the specs on the motor? or is it a secret recipe?

[zbrown]

Nice and clean i like it!

I am going to sound like a complete newb but is that a belt drive distributor or what?

never seen something like that, what is the point/advantage?

Yep, ricers use belt drive distributors.

Ouch! You should talk Dave!

Belt drive distributor and cam drive. No harmonics and more precise timing control. Distributor stays cooler and doesn't put torsional loading on the cam. Motor is a sbc 434 and made 832hp at 7200 no spray. E98.

you use for heads? 15*? 18*?

[63vette]

15 cfe

[Grr]

[Bookem]

does that include the power you gain from the hood scoop and the paint? or is that just what it said on the side of the crate?

[legacy-user-532]

oh its a CRATE engine?

[63vette]

Its a crate long block. RFD wasnt able to make my heads after 5 months and getting another set by race season wasnt going to happen. Gotta do what you gotta do... Shafiroff, Sunset, Reher Morrison or Quality Engine.. I dont built my own shortblocks..

With the prices I have paid Wayne at Quality for engine assembly I wouldn't even bother with it either!

Looks good Jim....hope this one actually goes down the track clean.

Jim,

Matt, Dave and I have decided to chip in together and purchase a box of Depends for you. We figured since you must want to keep the interior clean, maybe if you wear these you may actually get a full pass in. Unlike when you weren't wearing them when in the Vette.

^^^Ouch, thats gonna leave a mark. :bom:

The good thing is, I was just reading about hammertone paint and I guess it makes the shitstains virtually invisible. So unless some slips through the seams of the tinwork and gets on the rear tires, it shouldn't be a problem.

[zbrown]

Hey so where the hell is this thing? is it near completion?

[63vette]

Work is killing me, so I am way behind. I finished the wiring last night but it still needs lexan and paint on the wing & door handles.
I doubt the thing will make it in the 7s anyway. Just stirring up shit.
