Well heres some photo's of my motor its just about done at the motor shop. Hopefully this one is better then the last 2 the other motor shop built.
Block is a old school SVO 4 bolt main, I purchased some milodon main caps instead of the stockers, Motor is a 383 (351 stroker), 0 balanced, all forged eagle rotating kit with h beams, heads are Edelbrock victor jr's with harland sharp rockers, cam is a custom solid roller from Cam-Motion.
At this point I just wanna drive my darn car. The last motor shop costed me 2 years of wasted time! My last motor which was a 351W with forged pistons netted me over 600 wheel horsepower. I'm only using 72lb injectors in an effort to limit myself and be able to drive the car. Then later buy some 160's and turn the wick up.
I still need the fuel rails, fix up some of the wiring and clean it up a tad. The whole car and engine bay need to be painted and fixed so don't mind them. I just want to make sure everthing is running and good before i get into paint. My last two engines have destroyed this engine bay and front bumper.
Gnarly dude, nice lookin garage too, you know the checkerboard floor is gonna give you another 47 HP. Hopefully you'll get it out to the track so you can kick my SLO ass (if I ever get the Cobra done) + HP to ya.
I decided that cutting 1.60 60 ft's wasn't good enuff, I decided to do what I needed to get traction.
8.8 welded up, new adjustable lower mounts, ARB mounts, Strange double adjustable mounts, 9 inch ends, disc brakes, new gears, 1350 yoke, 35 spline axles with strange spool. New Upper and Lower control arms. 15x12 weld wheels with 295/55 drag radials, weld 17 inch front runners. I also puchased a custom fuel tank from chiseled to run E85.
It was real low 10's, tech said I needed the front halo for my roll cage for 9.99. I don't remember it was last year. I actually saw your 8.8 and said it looked identical to mine LOL.
Ya I purchased them a while back before the build and wanted some polyurethane. The rod end arms were driving me crazy. Anyhow the spring cups were just cut off. I actually purchased the street kit with relocated uppers, lowers and arb.
