Well I stopped by the engine shop today to see how my 408 is coming along,they were just doing some mock up assembly so I took a couple pics of the ported Eddy RPM,s,my big solid roller cam(.630 lift)I got a pic of the cam card(didn,t turn out so good)guess I should have wrote it down.Duh!Was in a hurry for work!My AED HO850 carb was there(nice piece)new Mildoon pan and ATI balancer.It,s coming together!

P.S Also shaving the head for 10.3 compression,running 94 pump gas.:toothy10:

 

[74scamp360]

sounds like a heck of a motor you're putting together there, what kind of 1/4 mile times are you hopeing to get out of her??

 

[pettybludart]

Gonna be shooting for low 11,s high 10,s if I,m lucky.It,s a light car.:snakeman:

 

[pettybludart]

Well I figured I,d better get started on my 8pt. rollbar,I removed the bench seat and carpet.To my surprise,the passanger floor and drivers floor have scale rust happening(metal is smooth not scaley looking from under car)took my boddy hammer and started tapping around finding pinholes all over the pass.side,so decided to cut it all out and am gonna replace with fresh metal.Great,more work just what I needed.NOT!!



Looks like the mice have been having a snack on my build sheet!LOL

 

[OldVart]

Great work there Scott. Those floor pans look familiar.

 

[needsaresto]

Nice car! It is at least way more solid than many. May as well throw on frame connectors.Or did I miss that?lol

You missed that.LOL.I don,t know why they put so much glue and sealer down on the floor pan?I had a heck of a time rippin out the carpet and insulation,with a flat spade.LOL.Hey it worked,but 1/2 the insulation was still left behind cause of all the glue.A welding I will go!:glasses7:

 

[needsaresto]

Holy crap a flat shovel works best for removing shingle from roofs too,lol...I guess they though they could seal it somewhat...

Sorry I missed the subframes...There's a ton of pages here for this topic so I kinda scanned fast...

 

[pettybludart]

Well I got some patches welded in the floors,gonna spray some rubberguard down after the cage is welded in.This has been a holdup with my plans while I,m on dayshift for 2 weeks.Get er done!LOL:angry7:

Oh yeah,I dropped my tranny of with Harry in Milton Transmission for some racing touchups.Got some good advise on a buildup for the 904 from Chris Andrews Racing..member Duster346

 

[MtNemoMopar]

Scott, you are a man-possessed. Keep up the great work, and hope to see that beast this summer.

 

[65Vart]

Harry is a good man, He did my old style to new 883 conversion.
