The Big Show 01-19-2006, 04:09 PM Thought I'd give you guys a taste test. Brought the motor home and mocked it up on the stand. Had some life changes just recently but hopefully I'll have it in the car and on the dyno pretty soon....

Is that a Super Victor, or no?

No, not a super vic. It's a dart wilson. Still an off the shelf piece but it was the ONLY off the shelf piece that had a flange big enough to work with.
PUR_SSYN 01-19-2006, 05:12 PM That looks like a good bit of work! Nice cylinder heads and collectors to boot.
How similar are the ports to an LT5 head? I see 4 injectors per bank, as opposed to eight.
Any photos, or MFG links for those heads?

They are nothing like an LT5 head. These heads still use pushrods and use a forked rocker to actuate two valves at one time. There are 8 injectors that will sit underneath the rails, I just decided not to put them in.

number77 01-19-2006, 05:35 PM We must have a video, with audio. I've never heard anything like what you've built. What RPM range are you going for power?

My friend is going to come to the dyno tuning session with me and will have video as well as pics so no worries. I don't plan to turn much more than 7K.
LJ93Z28GM 01-19-2006, 06:14 PM Forever had ended that is how long the mythical 32 valve heads to make it into a running car.
Hope it puts down some nice numbers.
For all the money you have in the bad boy I am suprised you did not clean or dress it up a bit more, but then again it is a daily driver.
That is the only setup worthy of having a clear valve cover so you could see what really goes on to move all the internals
1racerdude 01-19-2006, 08:13 PM If it's going in a Camaro a crab cap will help with clearance.
rskrause 01-19-2006, 08:41 PM Damn, that is positively lascivious! DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

LOL...it has been a long time coming. The day after I took it home, my engine builder called me and said he panicked for a second when he opened the shop that morning because my motor wasn't sitting there for the first time in like 3 years. Craziness....As far as dressing it up, thats not my style and just never has been. I'm more about function over form. You can mess with the pretty stuff once it's all together and putting down consistent numbers. If I bling'd it all out and then it blew up on the dyno, that would just be more wasted money :D

Actually clearance isn't an issue with this particular setup.

LOL...thanks Rich. Thats a new one so I'll log it fo'sho :D
N20Dave 01-19-2006, 09:58 PM Looks really good! That will get some attention when you open the hood. :bow:
unstable bob 01-20-2006, 12:11 AM Well, looks like the end result is in sight. :)
Glad to see somebody finally fire up a Dominion 32V equipped engine, even if it isn't me. ;)
OldSStroker 01-20-2006, 12:28 AM Well, looks like the end result is in sight. :)

Did you get a Care package at your side door today, UB? Maybe a couple of refrigerator doors? :)

Just make sure you DON'T give up like we both almost have numerous times. It's almost hard to believe that this thing is done...
Mindgame 01-20-2006, 06:26 PM Can't wait to see what she does. God knows we've all been waiting long enough. :D
Congratulations Bobby and best of luck with the rest of your project. :)

No giving up this time! At this stage of the game I can honestly say I have faith in 2 beings...Jesus and Bret Bauer. :) And I pray to one of them that I will have the $ to pay the other one! {You figure out who is who! ;) }

SStrokerAce 01-21-2006, 11:11 AM Dammit we don't have a blushing smiliely!
Remember without OldSStrokers shaft mount design for you I don't think we could get the RPM that I would like to see out of this thing.
Bobby get some videos of that puppy when you fire it up, even I'm interested to hear the noise from these things.

True, but heroics from OldSStroker are a given...he is such a two fisted man of action that he makes Indiana Jones look like a shoe shine boy!
You are a drunk monkey who needs to be built up a bit! :D
SStrokerAce 01-21-2006, 11:38 PM Dude you need to write a book!
unstable bob 01-22-2006, 12:45 AM Dude you need to write a book!
About what? Your drinking exploits? Man, that book would be 25X longer than "War and Peace!" :eek:
MEAN LT1 01-22-2006, 12:12 PM Dude you need to write a book!
Agreed, UB does have a way with words. Although I think its more of his phrases I like. :)
"he is such a two fisted man of action"
"he makes Indiana Jones look like a shoe shine boy!"
