Show me your winter projects

[Tokyo Torquer]

Show me your winter projects.. here is mine. New engine was finished and dynoed in mid-July, but had too many issues and too busy with work that it never made it into the car. I never made it to Whiskey Cafe once in 2009. Have all winter to finish the install and should be ready first nice spring day.

Here is the build..

Dart Little M SBC block - 401cid (4.125” bore)
Callies Magnum crankshaft with BBC snout (3.75” stroke)
Lunati Pro-Mod rods (5.7”)
Clevite Vandervell V-bearings
JE Extreme Duty 23* inverse dome blower pistons
Speed Pro Plasma Moly file-fit piston rings
AFR 227 Eliminator Heads, comp porting, 2.1” intake valve
T&D off-set shaft rockers w/ light weight option (1.6 ratio)
ARP Head studs
7.77:1 compression
Cometic MLS head gaskets
Cloyes billet timing set and 2-piece cover
Melling Select +10% volume and pressure oil pump
Reed solid flat tappet camshaft – 240/250* @ .050”, .523/.542" lift, 112 LSA + EDM lifters
Manton .118" walled pushrods
ATI blower damper
TBS Large Port Intake Manifold
Littlefield Blower -- 14lbs boost
Twin Quick Fuel Technologies 750 DP blower carbs
Holly Ultra HP 200gph mechanical fuel pump/ RobMc ½” pick up and 8an fuel lines
Mezier billet mechanical water pump
Stefs 6 qt oil pan
Lemons 1-7/8 to 2" step headers
Etc., etc.


With the current set up, its 753hp at 6350 rpm, 682 ft lbs tq at 4500rpm.. still needs more carb jetting.. way too rich.

One hell of an entrance!

I think I remember you from NastyZ years ago. Beautiful engine!

Whatever I would do for a klondike bar, I would do ten fold for that engine.

That thing is gorgeous.

Thanks.

I have been a member of this site for a few years, but don't come that often, but I do live in NJ.

Yeah, I have also been an active member of NastyZ28 for many years.. since about 2001 when I still lived in Japan, thus my handle. I started building the current Camaro while still in Tokyo, and that site was a great resource for pulling the project together. It is my third 1973 Camaro.

Sorry, no pics right now:

Stroker motor going back in.
Mcloed scatter sheild
Tubular K-member and control arms.
Modify rear wheelwells for wider rims/tires
Add a little bit more bling under the hood

* Wish list * If money allows before the race season starts:

1) Dana60 rear

2) Would really like to add a pair of Corbeau seats. I hate my stockers!

As of right now for the car in sig...pulleys,tune,new hood, and possibly new wheels.
