Congrats on the house Dave! That looks like a great house and there is nothing like having your own place. I'm sure once things get settled down for you, you will get the house how you want it and get the garage filled up. :D

Dave,

Congrats on everything you have going on..

I lived 12 years in Lafayette. you will love Orinda and the surrounding area.

I just re-read this thread. You guys are too funny and sound like great people.

I hope to hook up with you guys soon at an event.. I will do more spinning than winning, but just being there will be a blast.

Again congrats to you and your Wife. On the house, and the upcoming Marraige.

Mike

Appreciate all the words guy, really. :cheers:

Yep, her name is Susan and she's quite costly. :D


In related news.... I think I'm picking up my subframe and torque arm next week... then we can stop talking about this patsy ass house stuff. :woot:

Dave,
Did you finally pick up the subframe? Any updates??:willy:

Yea he is replacing the Linoleum in the kitchen with Travertine and trying to decide between antique bronze or stainless fixtures. :rofl:

His new subframe is named Susie



She's very cute -- spunky actually -- not sure how she drives. :lol:

:_paranoid Oh man...

Since I really don't know you guys, I am just going to pass on that one...

Damn you guys are brutal....

My Wife is running rich and I am trying to lean her out a bit...

Mark Stielow is building a '67.

Dub Renner drives a '69.

So I don't see the big need to find out what ISN'T going on with this one.

It's only a '68. :rolleyes:

Wow! That could be taken SO many ways. :_paranoid

How's the car going? Great! I just trimmed the hedges, power washed the deck and side patio and some fencing, and assembled some new furniture.

:thumbsup: :lol:

Actually, Rich did just pick up the subframe and torq arm on Sunday in Monterey.... I am anxious to see it and mock it up. :lateral:

About time you brought this back to page 1

What kind of hedger do you have, does it run on C-12

I'm leaving Gregs comment alone....................for now

:lol:

Version 2.2 commences
 

Slight change of plans and here comes Badmotorfinger V2.2 (hat tip to Chad Ryker for getting me to liking that moniker as he did V3.0 on his latest version).

Current motor in progress is scrapped (and for sale) and its place will go this thing:

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/f...8/photo9-2.jpg

The key numbers are:

430 cubes
736 hp @ 6800 rpm
609 ft lbs @ 6000 rpm
92 octane
10.8:1 compression
185 lbs spring pressure for durability

The heart of this and why I had to have it was the 2006 era Joe Gibbs Racing SB2.2 heads.

This is the exact motor that got me interested in the SB2 stuff back 7-8 months ago when it was first listed.... sale fell through and it was relisted recently so I snatched it up. Most of the parts are upgrades over what I was putting in my 386 anyway. Will have it shipped to Watson Racing and have them check it over and dyno it here on 91 octane. Can't wait.

Guess it's time to start working on getting the chassis under this car.

Anyone need some good SBC short block and top end parts? :unibrow:

first you need to clean your room man. Jeeze. :P


Thats all fine and dandy but what trans are you running again?

Wait....don't sell it, I can get you a great deal on a Caravan Town and Country and you can use our old changing table.

Wow nice motor!:drool:

Sweet :thumbsup:

Better get a 6" cowl hood. :rofl: :rofl:

You need to post all the specs and a recap of your current build plan.

Jakes sub
Jakes arm
AP Brakes
T101
Clutch
Floater

I've lost track of what this build actually is :willy: :willy:

Sweet...Can't wait to hear about this motor once everything is back together and you're out hammering down. :unibrow:

That should be plenty of smash to get you down the road and around the track!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Here's to going balls to the wall :cheers:

Cant wait to hear that Bad Boy!! :thumbsup:

whoa............. :faint: :morepower

Tex T101A -- (see my secretary Rob's post below -- he takes good notes for me :rofl:)

No minivan yet -- why do you think I'm trying to hurry and buy all these good parts now!? :willy:

Very good. Someone paid attention. I will get on it soon when I actually get all the rest of the details... waiting for fax from engine builder... I got enough so far to be comfortable... and dangerous. :thumbsup:

Jody... you've had more power than this many times... what the heck am I getting myself into here? :lol:

>Total ecstasy< :unibrow: CONGRATS

Congrats Dave! Something pertaining to your car has finally surfaced in your thread. :thumbsup:

That new engine is badass. Are you going uber race car and running the plate, or are you going to use motor mounts?

Matt

Thanks Jer. :thumbsup:

Yes, finally, I hear ya there. I almost started a brand new stinkin thread.

I told him to keep the plate and crank trigger ignition he had on there. I actually wanted this thing because it was built for the street, and since recently moving to the suburbs where nice roads, a garage, and a driveway exist, I really want to have a car I can drive occasionally on the street. So while it isn't a stock LS3, it is certainly drivable to me. :cheers:

Holly smokes, things are getting serious around here. I better start posting shiat about my new project.... or even some newer versions to my old one.

I predict a new trend forming. Pro-racing. The bar just keeps getting raised and things just keep getting juicer.:brix:

Can't wait to see this come together.

The new motor should take up temporary residence in one like this for some 'little kicks' on your wedding day. :unibrow:

I hadn't checked in on this thread in a while, but it looks as though the snowball effect is in full force! Awesome! :D Congrats on all the good stuff happening!

Nice
 

Sweet Race Engine, How many FPG( feet per gallon) you gonna get out of this thing??? just tricking, really nice engine, should be fast. cant wait for more updates.:thumbsup:
