why the sudden motivation?
 

I have the car up for sale as a roller, but today on some kind of freak whim I decided to do this

some time tomorrow I'm gonna finish mounting it and try to hook everything up so i'll at least start


on a side note...its kinda freaky how small it is huh?

that's what she said.

you know...i thought of that after i posted it...but for some reason i just let it go...

just a reminder

Crane cam (110lsa, .218/.228 duration .454/.480 lift)
1.6 factor roller fulcrum rockers ( makes lift .482/.512)
24# accell injectors
3400 top end, large port
federal mogul push rods. ( I know the secret of the 3.4 3400 pushrod that nobody else does)
9.6:1 CR (boost may be in store)
pacesetter headers
EGR delete
Zoom Kevlar Clutch (on order)
RK sport under drive pullies
speedpro aluminum pistons
speedpro engine rebuild kit
high flow oil pump
aluminum DS (in near future)
3.73 posi rear (not intalled yet)
extreme weight reduction (to come : goal 2900lbs)
B&M T-5 ripper

buick is making head-way as well

sounds like a nice little build up

yup...i figure id repost the build cause i posted it back when i started...2 years ago LOL

Looks like you can actually work on that motor without breaking a knuckle or having a small asian girl available to reach things

yea, whe i 1st got it it took me 30min to do the tune up, o2 sensors, oil change and alternator. it took 4 hours with only jack stands to do usp55's headers...v6 does have a practical advantage :lol:

i was tinkering with mine today actually. then i went to the lt1 and just hated myself.

hahah he man thats why i love the buick...357 SBC and a foot of clearance on the sides...

I'd be alot farther if my miains wouldn't give me so much trouble..... :(

i thought you had that figured out? if its within spec your fine

I got it figured out now. cleaned the threads like hell the other night, and installed the studs with loctite ( instructions says its ok to use if it I wish for a permenant fixture of them) Re-torqued the mains, and all came to .002, so I got plenty of room now. next step, pistons and connecting rods.

isnt it supossed to be .008-.015? .002 is very tight

.001 is tight, .002 is thinner.
