BUMP!!!!! This truck is sweet man hopefully i can see it when you get done hitting up those streets.

 

i said moal lifters i mis-typed, i meant moral tie-bar lifters.

 

ha thats better i kinda thought thats what you ment lol

 

hey Chase, just thought I would say your build looks Great.
Also I really don't think you will have any problems with the NVG-149 I was at 805 ft lbs o torque and my truck weighed 6300lbs and didn't have any problems.
Mark

 

i hope your right mark i plan to push it past that quite a bit though .

also just got word heads are on!! :chevy:

rockers are going to be 1.7 harlan sharps.

and this showed up today,



and unfortunatly i cant use a double roller or so im told , more to investigate tomorrow.

will also have pictures of the longblock . install should be underway by next weekend.

 

crappy phone pics









you can see the extra bolt on the heads in the lifter window.
waiting on mounts from hs for the rest of the rockers.

plan to pick it up this weekend if everything comes in . then all i need is fuel rails and she will be ready to drop in and turn the key.

 

Only bad thing about 6 bolts per cylinder is now that the heads are clamped down so good, you no longer have that safety net of pushing a headgasket if it detonates, much more likely to take out a ring land.

But...on the bright side you can keep the heads down once you start getting in the 20psi range

I spy a big whipple, what is that for?

 

thats just one of the many engines at his shop , he isnt a sponser but he is on tech.

he mostly does sand rails . there is alot of cool **** there. world products blocks and such.

im not sure which whipple that is i think its the big one.

here are some pics from the shop , this rail is hand fabbed aluminum body. 30k just in body .

 

guess my build isnt that interesting.

 

Actually, it is very interesting. I for one am just patiently waiting on updates.
