Final tally of most of the work is close to 8K in parts, and I did all the work myself short of the machine shop labor and head work. I have yet to take the car to a dyno, i plan to get that done as soon as possible because the car screams like a banshee at 6500RPM.

* The rods are for a small journal crankshaft so i had the crank cut to a 2.0" journal. I was going to have it offset ground to make it a 396 but i decided that 383 was plenty for my goals for the car.

So what do you guys think?


By the way, I haven't yet dynoed the car but i plan to What do you think i will make on the dyno?

Will someone have a dyno at M10? because im going as long as i can get my transmission rebuilt and back in my car in the next week and a half.

 

Looks clean. However I'd put some black lum on that red wire going across under the cowl. Also IMO I think the stall and cam are too small.

 

That wire is for the stereo and its temporary. I plan on gettting the battery relocation bracket from BMR and moving the battery into the back thus getting rid of that ugly red wire. i dont cover it so it motivates me to by the battery bracket faster.

 

Very nice work, out of curiousity, who rebuilt your 4l60E the first time and who is doing the current rebuild? I plan on having mine race-prepped next spring and what a few names to start researching.

 

A friend of mine, he has been working on transmissions for years and he did mine on the side. He did the whole performance build for 700 bucks and 3-4 gear went on it very suddenly. he said that he thinks a seal went or something very stupid because there was NO problems what so ever untill all of a sudden no 3rd or 4th.

He is fixing it for free labor i pay for parts.

If you want his number PM me and ill dig it up today.

 

looks like a good forged setup. i agree though, with that kind of beefing up you could really go with a bigger cam and the converter is way to small for the power that could be making. i'd up the stall unless this is a daily driver and you like a comfortable street ride.

 

Nice
I have a m6 with a 383 and AFR 180 head and made 360 at the wheels on a a Dyno Jet dyno.

 

I like the cam...I'm a huge fan of relatively small cams. I like the big lift small duration. Its gonna make for a great street/strip motor. It should give you power everywhere, especially low/midrange. I would up the stall to like a 3600 or so, though...I make between 385-400rwhp ( depending on the dyno) thru an A4 with stock castings and a smaller cam in my 383. And I have shorties, stock water pump, ignition, 30lb injectors....I would think 420rwhp wouldn't be out of the question for your motor...

Very nice setup and very close to my new engine....I've got a larger cam, Monoblade TB, manual water pump, and 3200 stall converter though. I'm looking forward to your results on the dyno.

 

is that a stock torque arm under there?

 

What's the matter with that?

 

I wish my headers tucked up that nicely. Hell I couldnt even use that tunnel brace after they went in. Damn Hooker LTs It really looks nice though.

 

Yours will be that close cause yours get a little closer to the car everytime you hit them on something.

 

his tunnel brace looks modified


yeah same with mine to , i couldnt use mine

its a waste of space IMHO

 

Mean Green: I do drive this thing daily during the summer so i wanted to keep the stall on the tame side, i may go up to a vig 2800 next year if money permits.

ABA383: I like the small cam, its a lunati blower grind and it drives great. The car makes sick low-mid power too and when i open it up the car just sings all the way to 6300.

Warlock1313: Yes thats a stock torque arm, I plan on going ALL BMR suspension in the next year or so. Im talking K-member, A-arms, Torque arm, LCA's, Subframes, Panhard, EVERYTHING!!


Yes i did have to modify the crap out of my Tunnel Brace. There was NO way in HELL i was going to fit that 4" monster Exhaust under there when that thing was stock. lol.



Thanks for the compliments thus far, I really appreciate it.
