Well?????....... We're waiting......:unibrow:

:lol:

That was good.

Sounds like a marriage counselor. ;)

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Really? :(

I think you should treat us nicer, like they do when we visit Greg Weld at the home...





The Weld Manor home.

They keep my diapers clean and my pablum warm.... Now.... What were we talking about??

As long as you're ambulatory, in the future Flash's kids will drop by for hot stock tips...showing off their Dad's new SB4 motor on their iPad 17's.

I don't think he's got it in him. That would imply FINISHING the job.

LOL...

This made my day.

Greg,

That is capricious and arbitrary....and rather harsh.



:P



Can't you just picture an older, kinder, gentler (and perhaps sedated) Greg bringing joy and investment strategies into many children's lives...

:D

I think you meant to say they would be showing off their dads newly completed SB2 motor. It may be running by then.:_paranoid

Hey hey hey... is it my fault DART doesn't have some main caps sittin on their shelf and they take 4 weeks to ship a set?! :willy:

I am still pickin up parts here and there to move the chains! :theresa:

I like the sound of an SB4, Skip. :unibrow:

Hey, if it ain't broken...? :D

USING MAIN CAPS IS WAAAAAAAAAY OVER RATED!! GET THIS SUCKER MOVING OR I'M JOINING THE TORINO TEAM :willy:

:wow:



You're stern, yet I sense still a fair man.

I'm starting to think Intocarss, composmentis, and bad matt are really just Dave trying to make this thread interesting and boost his thread views.

If we were the same person, there'd have to be a family resemblance, right?

Maybe someone else sees one, I don't. (I'm on the left, DG's on the right.:_paranoid )

Now, back to some tech. :unibrow:

DG,

Maybe you covered this already and I missed it...did Jake build the control arms specifically for your car with those monster meats up front?

Thought this is DAVE???

Whoops....I must have clicked the wrong title.....I was looking for Project Updates :lol:

There is a car being built in this thread? :)

Used to be :P

Well kinda. Our game plan has been to mimic his AIX 2nd gen car he ran for 3 years before selling to Vinny. I am trying to not reinvent any wheels or be a pioneer at this point. Almost all specs and tuning will be derived from that 2nd gen.

Nearly impossible to fathom huh?

Took this quote above from Stielow's thread and I try to follow it every day. Most of the crap is not post worthy but it moves the chains forward.

2 little but important things for instance I've been working on (researching, calling and emailing about, etc) lately are the spark plug cooling holes found in Bowtie/SB2 blocks but not the aftermarket blocks. Most, but not all, drill these holes into the block at a 7 degree to help with detonation.

Also looking at running a vacuum limiter/regulator and installing on my intake valley plate or the valve cover to LIMIT my vacuum for street driving. The Weiss 6 stage pump is a vacuum pulling monster and too much vacuum can be a problem on the street.

I did score this set of 7 Nascar I-Core oil lines off ebay last week. Near mint condition, some of them barely look they were used. Probably paid 25 cents on the dollar for this batch vs new. :thumbsup:

Ok, saw a post by the man himself. So, I thought I should stop in and do some lurking. BC has been here. :cool:

Are you talking about something like this?

Or this

peterson also makes a vacuum regulator

Thanks for posting Dave.........Man, you've got some crazy components going into that motor. Good luck moving forward :thumbsup:

Very cool to be able to have that JRS track car as a baseline tune.

Glad you included that Stielow quote. Smart advice that's good to keep in front of gearheads.

Nice, more great deals on the NASCAR stuff you find. You don't follow the trends...you set them. :unibrow:

Both can work, but I like the Peterson unit a little better.

Yep, that's the nicest one I have found thus far.

Thanks. I'd be lying if I said I completely knew what I was getting into. :D

Jake is a dedicated racer and does very well in American Iron and keeps getting better. His new 4th gen car is a step up to the next level.

And it's hard to go wrong listening to some of the wisdom of Stielow. :unibrow:

I am a decent trend setter at buying junk motors. :lol:

Incoming! :lol:

Just stop that!



This is, and shall remain - a beat down thread....

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Non of us Hot rodders/Racers ever knows what we're getting into :wow: BUT it sure sounds good in our heads :_paranoid

I need a SBC to LS currency converter, how many LS engines would that have bought now?

This thread should be made a sticky or put in a hall of fame section for being a project thread and the majority of the post are just us ribbing him. Hardly actual progress posts. It's almost approaching Payback post count. LOL

:thumbsup:

I have thought about the LS to SB2 exchange rate and I'm still barely ahead if we are talking about a full monty LS7 with all the goodies probably. Thanks for reminding me. But I think an SB2 will still sound better. :unibrow:

I dunno about the view count... I think it's about the same handful of people ribbing and viewing. :D

Woah Woah Woah.....

WOAH... My motor's actually together...

The only thread count DG cares about is how much his Sérgio Mendes sport coat has...
