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

His new subframe is named Susie



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

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.

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:



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?

first you need to clean your room man. Jeeze.


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!

Sweet

Better get a 6" cowl hood.

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

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