Round #2 !!!!!!!!!!
Picked up my engine last night. Looks real good! As soon as the cam & gasket set gets here I can start bolting this lump together. I'm hoping that this will be a straight-forward assembly without any of the drama that went on last summer. [ For you new guys the board was quite entertained last year with my non-stop battle with rebuild #1, that resulted in a 20 mile drive before my camshaft disintergrated....but thats another story] Here's the goody list:
MP block line-bored w/ ARP studs & cylinders honed w/ bore plate
Crank cut .010 on mains & rods
Rods resized after ARP bolts installed & balanced
New Melling oil pump thats been PROPERLY machined for use w/ studs
Edelbrock RPM 63cc chamber aluminum heads
Crane 1.5 roller rockers
Comp Cams XE274H w/ lifters
Clevite 77 bearings
Speed Pro rings
KB pistons
6Bbl induction
Complete MSD ignition ( 6AL, blaster coil, pro-billet dist. & wires)
Hooker super comp. w/ 2.5" exhaust & 2 chamber Flowmasters
The engine calculates out to 10.1;1 compression.Anyone want to take an educated guess at horsepower? We're also taking bets on how long this one hangs together.....:bom:
