1000hp engine that might last a while.... Who doesnt dream of that? What are the cam specs?

got the 370 out today and pressure washed the bay . need to tap the block for the knock sensors and drop it in the 427 .

sending the 370 to get inspected, looks like i lost only one head gaskets.

had to get a custom cut valley cover for the sheet metal intake . have to cut the a/c bracket to make fit.

need to find a place that does anodizing , going to do the fuel rails, alternator, tb, alt bracket and some other small pieces.

hydroboost install will commence next week along with progress pictures.

the vortech , intake manifold will all be cleaned up and posted for sale .



btw dusty , cam specs arent crazy.

236/230 6xx/6xx lift and a 114-115 lsa.

thanks guys spent about 4 hours on today after a 9 hour day . lotta heat and im tired as hell.

got the hydroboost in , that was a pita replacing the brake pedal . got the intercooler off , old 370 back to get freshened up.

rails to the anodizer. cleaned up some wiring and thats about it. spending lots of time in the decents of the engine bay , pretty comfy down there.

I found it comfortable if I straddle the rad support with one foot on the bumper and the other on the frame under the engine, and lean over the engine to do whatever.

a couple pics today . got the antiseize so i could use some stainless buttom heads on the valley cover to help clear the intake. also for some smart reason i used allen head bolts and getting them tight is a two man job for sure. for anyone else doing the hydroboost install , getting off the pedal sucks , a 18mm ratchet wrench and a 3/8 drive with 18mm shallow w/4 inch extension is key. still a pita if your a bigger person . also the ss master cylinder works just fine with the hydroboost.

did all the fuel rails plumbing and got the rails back from anodizing , injectors are in and the intake is ready to bolt on .

waiting on the knock sensor/cam sensor harness. making new battery cables tomorrow and thats pretty much it . the motor may be put in this weekend. i will be leaving for arizona for 4 days tomorrow so progress will sease for the 4th.


on to the pics

Looking Good chase!!! Need some pics from the front of the engine to take a better look at your TB set-up. Also what's the height from the valley cover of that intake! Looks badass!!

8 almost 9 inches iirc. this is why i had to run the regulator to the driver side insead of behind the intake , it comes closer to the firewall than the vic jr.
