Some small changes going on .........

[Arun]

My same WCCH 245 heads. 65cc. ARH 1 7/8 headers. Pistons are -15cc so compression ratio should be around 9.9.

Cathedral ports like camshaft. 226 seems awfully small for a 402.

This is what I would choose, 234/238 118+4

It gives you zero degrees of overlap versus -2 that the 226/246 had.

I will drive real nice-no chop, make great torque and horspeower, and carry it.

Interesting. Thanks for the input. I will give it more thought. So many dam decisions..lol

Yep-you can go round and round forever on cams and stuff-I know sometimes that's all I dream about-wake up and take notes then go back to sleep!

Slow progress around holiday time but I spend the afternoon getting things in order....

Put on the Hinson trans mounts and hope to put the trans back in next week..

Welded AN fittings on transmission lines.. from there I will run braided lines to the cooler....

Pressure washed the engine bay....

Modified and fit the Moroso tank which will replace the Eforce coolant tank for more capacity...

Some extras....
The shop truck... for faster deliveries...

Another vette in the shop... 2006 ZO6 getting an LSX427 with ECS supercharger kit... Not finished tuning yet but so far 760 RWHP..

Nice. It's getting there.

Some more build updates...

Made brackets and installed B&M transmission cooler with fan. Still have to do the lines.

Diff and Trans back in....

Bad pic of dual fans..

ECS axle loops.. Safety is No. 1.....

Looks like she's coming along and should be ready for the 1/2 mile run in Chicago!

 

[Canuk]

Another update... Its a good thing it's winter so that it doesnt bother me that everything takes so long.
My heads will be ready next week and my short block in a few weeks. Then the fun really begins.

Today I finished the trans cooler install....ran braided lines from front to back...

Since I never use the eforce side covers, I figure maybe a nice black wrinkle finish on the valve covers will tie in better with the black of the eforce...

 

[Riley P]

Cooooooooool! Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Any plans to post a vid at the track once this is all complete? I like what I see so far. What kind of numbers are putting down(hp/tq)?

I will make some videos next season. I was making 615 rwhp and 640 lbs torque. I dont know for sure what the changes will bring but I am thinkiing in the 700 area. Track times interest me more than hp.

Look in the general section, half mile race in Chicago June 1st.

Lots of info on the CF forum as well.

Wannagofast.com is where the sign up is. Jan 18th registration starts.

Looks interesting. I will try and do it. I dont know if I would run or just go for the trip. It will depend on how I feel the car is holding up. Hate to blow a tranny that far from home !!

Were not very far from RPM Transmissions!

They don't do 6L80's........and I know why.....lol

Guess it would be a good time for a conversion...my car loves money.

 

[Canuk]

Progress has slowed to a halt while I wait on the short block to arrive.

Heads are back from shop...

Vmax ported throttle body arrived...

Thats it for now.

 

[LSXtasy]

Nice! You really should do the Chicago event. I bet all this hardware would sound really mean screaming down the 1/2 mile.

Wiesco coated pistons / gas ported / steel top ring
ARP studs
My WCCH Edelbrock 245 heads.... redone with new valves and springs
I will reuse my eforce supercharger to see what is the max I can get out of it. The build is done in anticipation of possibly something different next year. (twins ??)
Also being reused: ARH 1 7/8 headers, Alky control meth kit,


Other stuff:

Weld RTS 17x7 front wheels... tires still to be chosen
