They are Dart CNC ported heads with 227cc runners. This engine is very "developed."

The original incarnation made 673hp & 572#. 9 days on the dyno, 5 camshafts, 6 rocker arm combinations, 5 intake manifolds, 3 sets of headers, 3 carburetors, 2 days tweaking the fuel curve later ... whew ... and it now makes 731hp & 599#.

:trophy-1302:

.

Yeah I figured it was "developed"... that's an understatement. :lol:

Ron, care to give me your educated guess of my engine results (hp/tq) based on what you know about it? :rules:

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!...GO GET EM TIGER :smiley_smack:

Thanks Jer... it's almost magic time.... hopefully next week at S&S. Do you know Rick Santos?

I don't know him presonally, but sure have heard of him... YOUR BABY IS COMING TO LIFE!!! CONGRATS!!!

Dave your motor is bad a$$. Can't wait for the dyno numbers and vid :headspin: :thumbsup:

OT: Nice 69 in your sig! You think Big Red is running a factory spoiler @ 200 mph?

Looks like it along with, airbrushed wheel covers, roof channels, and aero hood. Be interested in knowing the front and rear spring rates compared to their Silver State setup.

Whats it going over to S&S for ? i thought you were assembled and ready to go, no?

They are a top notch machine shop for as far back as i can remember, my family lived in that hood for 40+ years. I dont know them personally, but they did the machine work on my engine for my boat through a machine shop.....

Do they dyno and tune?

Congrats on getting the engine ready for the dyno, Dave. Here's hoping you hit 800 :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see what she does. Hearing these motors fire up always gets my blood pumping. Never gets old! Your motor looks awesome btw!!

Thanks Ronnie.... Yeah, Big Red...can't go wrong there...

And Big Red can run whatever spoiler it wants. It can't not go fast. :D

Mike Blackstone (Watson Racing) has known Rick Santos (S&S) a very long and Rick is one of the few guys Mike trusts in the bay area. Mike has a dyno but because mine will run E85 he prefers to dyno it over at Rick's since his fuel system is more beefed up and set up for a lot of the alcohol motors they do over there. Makes no diff to me. I am in good hands.

Carb is Holley HP950, but as you know Ron, factory ratings (especially Holley) are not reliable with respect to cfm.

Compression is 13:1

6.0" rods

Heads are SB2.2 worked by Curtis Boggs @ RFD in Virginia. I am guessing you know of him or have heard of him. Peak is 410-420 cfm at .900 but around 395-400 at .700 closer to where my cam net lift ends up. Low and mid lift numbers are strong. The work done was intended for road race (vs the Nascar CNC programs) and not max hp at high rpm.

Header is stepped 1-3/4 to 1-7/8 to 2.... 3.5 collector. Do not have length. It is a Profab Nascar type take off I believe.

Do not know cam degree number.

Cam solid roller.

Block is Dart Little M -- not a Bowtie/SB2 block.... so that must make it 4.4" I am guessing.


Thank you! Me too. :)

That's great DG all you had to do was tell Ron look back at last Octobers posts for engine specs.:stirthepot:

Any real updates?:lmao:

Ok.... wheels are finally done and on the car. I give you the Jongbloed Racing 330 wheel.... done locally in Morgan Hill.

18x12 front and 18x13 rear on 315 and 335 Hoosier A6's.

And the car is one the ground off the lift for the first time in probably 6 months. That's always a step forward.

Rich has been working on the fuel cell cage and I am really happy with how it's turning out. Just needs some top bars/straps and powdercoating. I gave Rich the "blueprints" for the cage found in Circle Track magazine. It uses about 50 feet of 1x1 square tubing. Heavy and a little overkill but about as safe as I can get I figure.

Nice avatar... :bitchslap: :D

And I thought the front of my car had stupid amounts of camber when I was looking at it the other day. BMF looks nothing but serious business now. And those wheels... I kind of really want some now.

Well this is only 2.5* actually, which is what Jake specs for my setup. I don't consider that too extreme. But maybe that's part of my problem... since I don't consider this car too extreme. :peepwall:

Matt Are you sure you can accept that hellafflush 315 on a 12" wheel up front.:cheers:

BMF'n Outlaw :unibrow:

Flares :secret:

Outlaw 10.5?? :guns:

Without the flares... it looks like a dirt track car :drive:

:hello: :thumbsup:

Those wheels stick (stand) out...:wow: :D

Now that's a real update! :cheers:

Have you considered a set of INTROS??

I almost wanna cut out the fenders and clean them up and leave it... modern pro dirt? :lol:

Thanks Ronster. Real updates are fun when they happen. :D

I like those.. pretty optimistic I think... but I'd take your guesses over Rob's. :bitchslap:

My guess is 790 hp @ 6800 and 625 ft lbs @ 6000.

Yep. Every Tuesday between 9 and 9:30am.

I like to please when I can. Myself included. :sieg:

AND IT WILL CALLED THE "DIRT DIGGLER TOUR"!!!!:gitrdun: :thumbsup:

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/f...psf5870c00.jpg

No wonder yer phone has been ringing non-stop. :cool:³

What didn't you like about my guess:headscratch:

770 hp and 610 lbs doesn't sound so bad. It may still be a few months the way things roll on this thread.:popcorn2:

Who doesn't :headscratch:

:cheers:

All of thes updates
 

Must have thrown a glitch in the system and took Lat-G down.

I am happy for you. The car looks great!

LOL! Thanks P.... only Weld and his 12k posts could something like that. :innocent:

I'm ready to see some new pics of yours. :headspin:

Nice Choice on the wheels Dave,
The car is looking wicked bada$$. Good job Richie on the gas tank mount.
Congrats.:thumbsup:

Why don't we have a pool going for this?


Place your bets... Winner takes all. :G-Dub:

Jeff, we do have a "Pool" going after this. :lol: :cheers:

I wouldn't have HALF of that if you boners hadn't hidden the multi post instructions from me!!!

He called us boners :sieg:
