Thought I'd start a build thread instead of posting pics all over the forum. This thread is going to be a bit random because I've owned this car for 6 years now and done a lot of work on it over that time, plus the car came heavily modded from the previous owner. Updates posted won't be chronological but I'll be starting with my most recent project.
I yanked the drivetrain out of the car over the winter to fix 2 issues. 1) Repair oil leaks I could not find with the engine in the car. 2) Swap out the Crower Stage 4 cams for something more street friendly.
Here's what the long block consisted of:
Teksid block bored 0.020
05+ "DC" heads
Diamond pistons part# 30002-4. 0.020" overbore. 9.1:1 compression.
Cobra crank, Manley GT Supercar H-beam rods, ARP main and rod bolts.
ARP head studs
Crower Stage 4 cams. 0.486/0.495 lift. 236/244 duration. Crower springs and retainers. Way too much duration and overlap for a low compression street engine. They've been a never-ending source of grief since I bought the car so they are being replaced.
Here's a vid of it idling. Sounds great, drives like shit....lol!
Melling oil pump with billet rotors
Cloyes adjustable primary gears.
Intake cam gears with integral key ground off to allow adjustability.
