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?

whoa.............

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.

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

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

I've lost track of what this build actually is

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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