New build for Michelle

[David.C]

She's a beaute Clark. What engine is that? I like the pulley setup!

383 SBC, 10.5:1 comp, Callies crank, Engine Pro H beam rods, Icon pistons, AFR Heads, Crower Lifters, Scorpion rocker Arms (1:6 intake), Holley Terminator EFI w/ Dominator ECU, 2spd glide w/ full manual valve body and t-brake

All that money and you use a Fram oil filter????

LMAO, it's just to plug the hole while it's on the stand. I assure you I will use a better filter when the time comes.

Motorhead Mike was right. That is a pretty serious small block!

I’m actually a lot further along than I have pictures. Like I said in my 1st post a lot of the parts from her race car are going into this build. So I already had all of the suspension needed but may make some changes. The car is riding a bit high. Will probably end up with drop spindles in the front and coil overs in the rear.


TRZ upper and lower CAs

TRZ Anti-roll bar

Trick Chassis ford 9” 3:73 gear

Some progress on the car, added drop spindles in the front and going to coil overs in the rear. Aeromotive Stealth Pump and Tanks inc. tank. The car is going to the chassis shop next week to get the cage & anti-roll bar installed. About to spend a bunch of $ at ArizonaGN for their Vintage Air setup for a G body. Still cant believer Vintage Air does NOT make a kit for these cars.

That is going to be an absolutely ripped ride when you get finished. Really fine work.

Attached is a computer Dyno Simulation on your engine. I took what information I could get from you posts, spent a couple of hours doing some research on line for specs and airflow data and then made a few assumptions based on personal experience. I am still learning some of the more advanced features of the program (its like being back in high-school chemistry) so it may not be exact, but it won't be far off. If I got any of the specs wrong let me know and I'll correct, rerun the Dyno and send it back to you.

BTW, the exhaust side of your cam card can't be right. It has conflicting data. You might want to get back with your supplier. I couldn't make the exhaust lifts work out right.

Mike, Thanks for the info!!! It's a lot to take in, so I will need some time to go over all of the information. I will take a look at the cam specs again and contact Schneider Racing. What specifically was the issue with the exhaust #s? I want to ensure I ask the right questions.

It was interesting to see the estimated manifold pressure ratings, I've been sweating that a little (power brakes). I guess I'll hold off on buying a vacuum pump and res. (penny saved). If this little SBC makes those numbers Michelle will be stoked.

Just caught my own screw up, apparently I mixed up the rocker arms on cylinder #8 (see valve train pic above). Now I get to check them all again. I guess these pictures are for more than just showing off, lol.

Cam lift on the spec sheet was .405/int & .435/ex In the Dyno program with the rest of the data entered, the Gross Valve Lift was .648/int & .653/ex. Your spec sheet says the Valve Lift will be .648/int & .638/ex. Even with different rocker ratios for intake and exhaust, the spec sheet doesn't look right on the exhaust lift.

Yup I saw that too. The rockers were mixed, and like Mike said the cam card doesn't match regardless of what rocker is used.
