Just your average street motor that could run an old Chevelle even with a Winston Cup car, right?

That's an awesome buildup. Something I would love to try to do myself, but I doubt I have the skill. I like to tell myself I could do it but realistically...... no.

Before you go racing for real please slap that thing in an old Nova or something at go get some street action- preferrably on video so we can all watch people's eyes fall out of their heads.

 

 

congratulations on an awesome build! ive watched this beast come all the way on this board.Glad to see theres an exotic combo thats gonna get big track time instead of just posing for mag shoots and idling at the drive in.
You need to get a shirt made that says "No, its not a big block" for when you have the hood up in the pits and people come to gawk. that'll save you some time.
So after the 300 shot gets you out of the hole, what are you gonna have the 2nd stage at? J/K

as some people out here say ""mad props yo""

 

Good numbers Dave..... I would have tweaked it on the dyno to at least find the best timing curve before I did the A/F stuff in the car.

I gotta see this thing one day.

Thank you all. I appreciate all of you how have helped along the way and given words of encouragement then and now.

Brett, I agree but I think we're gonna leave it alone. Timing is set at 32 degrees right now and I think that's a good start. It has a restrictor plate intake on it that's been ported heavily and flows good but I think the lack of plenum volume is hurting it. Plus the cam is a nitrous cam so I'm giving a little N/A away there as well. Maybe we'll see another 10-20 horses once it's in the car with the proper weight oil and some other issues worked out but I think what I'm looking at is what it's going to be. I'm going to try some spacers if hood clearance allows.

I saw a full pull in person today and I can't even begin to describe it. It was simply the most violent thing I've ever seen. It's tough to watch your massive investment screaming at close to 8000 rpm right in front of your face. Makes me wonder if I shouldn't have gotten bigger tires I'll post the video of it in a few minutes.

 

Here's the video. Right click and save as. about 5meg. Be sure to turn up the sound

SB2 full dyno pull

 

Great numbers man and there sounds like there is more in it. That thing is gonna be a monster on the jug.

Congrats on going outside the box...and making it work.

 

Awesome buildup, but why the attachment to the LT1?

Mike

 

Very nice!!

Looking forward to the track videos.

 

I'll answer for him. Dave is an oddball and thinks everything he owns, builds and surrounds himself with should be oddball, too. You should meet his friends

 

 

Yeah you should meet the numbnutz that helped me put the cage it it

Seriously, I already had a good LT1 block with work done to it not to mention the crank so I figured I'd give this a try. Plus I want to see just how fast I can make an LT1 6 speed go. Ultimately a stronger motor will be built from a Little M and the heads will be converted back.

 

BAM!

There it is.

Dave, there's some power being left on the table somewhere but you already know that. Doesn't take away from the fact that it's going to be a screamer.

And who was it saying that a head like this would not make power turning less than 7500 rpm? IMO, they're just about perfect for your run of the mill 7000-7500 rpm stroker builds.

Congrats Dave!

Now I gotta get my heap together........

Did you switch throttle bodies for comparison? I had been following and was curious what happened...

Awesome numbers tho! That is just great . It seems like there are way too many "my stroker runs like crap" threads instead of "my new motor is gnarly!" threads like this one. Uh oh, I may have just showed my pubescent age .

Nice set-up man! About how much are you expecting to the wheels?
