Thanks Sam!

 

Here's a shot of my 289 with Edelbrock top end and cam.

 

Wow all these engines make my straight 6 look a little puny!

 

Hi Sam,
Here are a few Pics on the engine stand in Mock up.
Yes we rebuilt the engine completely, new Pistons, valves, camshaft etc.
The Little Motor runs great, it is my first Nailhead and I am really impressed with it. Yours is very, very nice Too!

 

thanks..

here is our Nailhead as we bought it.. (it even ran as shown!).. June 2006!

 

This is the F4 setup


This is in the F1

 

Hey Tom,
Your's are such custom engines - If you don't mind a few questions..
Can you explain what you have in your F1?
It looks to be a chevy engine... What's the red canister in the F1 picture?
Is that the gas tank in the front right corner of the engine compartment?
The blue hose is some sort of fuel injection?

Just trying to learn - that's a cool truck.

While we're on a roll with the Buicks.....Bought this non-running '40 1 1/2 ton with a 401 nailhead in it. Turns out it knocked real bad so I sold it as a core and dropped in a 302. Woulda been a beast!

 

sunbird79,
That looks FAST!

 

It doesn't look like much yet, but here's the new powerplant for my F-2 fresh from the machine shop. I've got 3 days off this weekend, so hopefully I'll get the bottom end screwed together then. It's a .030" over '94 5.0L block, but it's getting stuffed with a 347 CI stroker kit and will be fed by a custom EFI setup with a blower. This represents my attempt at small block fuel economy, big block power, and driveability that grandma would approve of all in one package. The old flatty will get transplanted and live on in my F1, but this particular rig called for a little more Giddy-Up-Go! The block was cleaned, inspected, bored, decked, torque plate honed, and had new cam bearings and core plugs installed all for $352.28 including parts - and he did a final polish on the new crank for free! My machinist is the BEST IN THE STATE and he works too cheap - but don't tell him I said that!

Yes it is a C**vy fficeffice" /><O></O>
I have a 355 with 12.5/1 forged Mahle pistons, Dart pro one 215 heads with 1.6 roller rockers, Isky RR-570T solid roller cam, a GM Bowtie single plane intake, MSD 7531 box with HVCII coil. 750 double pumper with a Quick Fuel E85 conversion kit.<O></O>

Red canister is over flow for cooling system<O></O>

Is that the gas tank in the front right corner of the engine compartment?
Yes three gallon fuel cell full of E85
<O></O>
The blue hose is some sort of fuel injection?
No it’s a large diameter push lock hose for the large volume of E85. It’s a free flow return system. <O></O>

Just trying to learn - that's a cool truck.
Ask all you want..It’s been a ton of fun race season is just 25 days away.
