Thats how mine started out. When do you think youll have the old girl up and running?

 

Ahh man go for it

 

If things go well maybe early Oct.

 

Looks like mine won't be ready till then as well.

 

I still thinks it funny that when I met you over a year ago you had just put the radix on and all you were going to do is get a custom tune

 

Yeah, and it's all your fault!

 

now ur in the same boat as me, mission accomplished

 

Can't wait to see it back up and running!

Dont leave me out of the group... my 1 year no truck anniversary was up Aug 8! But it really looks like I'm picking mine up either mid next week first of the following.



The upper pipes havent been ceramic coated nor is the bov on. Going on tomorrow and then out for coating. SSSSHHH I'll be swapping for mandrel bent pipes during the winter... and maybe going twins

 

Colt - It's about time! You have plenty of room to grow to larger compressors before you need to think about twins

 

Update-

I finally got around to taking my old pistons off the rods and got to noticing the compression rings and 4 of them were damaged and lost tension due to heat. I am guessing my .023-.025 ring gap wasn't enough. I have never seen rings do that. In spots the material was eaten away and doing no good for sealing. So the good news is my dyno numbers were on 4 good cylinders.

I am working on re-assembly as I have time around my busy work schedule now but it will be a 370 with 9.0:1 compression, same old cam (223/218 .575/.558 114lsa), L92 heads with Patriot gold springs & L92 Carb style intake. The block has steel 0-rings on the deck for sealing with copper head gaskets and ARP studs. I opted for a little more compression this time to help with low end torque. Maybe it will run by x-mas?
