And it begins...

Going to machine shop at the end of December.

Go big or go home. Plans??????

I can't tell what it is visually. WHAT MOTOR IS IT??

Ryan

460 Ryan. What ya got planned for it?

I have not decided on a combo yet, been kicking around some ideas... I have a budget it mind, and for some reason my budgets are alway breached, so I might build a little milder than planned.... Gotta find the deals!

Probably 4.3" stroke for 521 inches (Scat stuff), 10.5:1 on 91 octane, SCJA heads prepared by Randy at RMCompetition, Solid cam, etc...

Looking for 525-600 H.P.

Oughta make for a fun driver.

Yea, this is going into the Merc.

I'll be racing this truck, well... Steet/Strip. No shows for me... I can't afford to have my truck look good and go fast at the same time! Besides, I plan on painting it myself.




Second, cheaper option I have been playing with is a 501 inch motor, with Pro-Comp, yes Pro-Comp heads prepared by Randy.

Big misconception with the Pro-Comp aluminum castings. The castings are actually quite good, and are comparable to a moderately ported D0VE or similar head, but in aluminum.

Randy goes through the heads, hone's the valve guides, good valve job and quality stainless valves. All this along with some hand porting to blend any radius's and raised edges.

Actually, I am not ever sure if I am going to paint it.

What do you think? One heck of a sleeper.

Paint! Paint! Paint!

sleeper...460...hmmm oh ya sound cool.

Yea, I just sold the 351W, more money for this thing.

Block is back. Started the oil gallery modifications/de-burring.





Created a dedicated oil gallery for the dist. gear. Paul Kane is the man behind that idea.



Thanks for looking!

OIL GALLEY

Not Gallery

Sure is purdy...now that the block is back...any more specific details on the direction you're planning on going?

What is an oil galley?

The word "galley" is nothing but a misspelling of the term "gallery." Either term can be, and is used all the time. I use both.

Hey Ryan!

An oil gallery is a passage way through the block that supplies oil to the main bearings, lifters, etc...



PS+ Mil1ion... Don't argue this, because I really don't care.

Right now it's looking like 4.3" stroke and 4.39" bore for 521 inches. P-51 heads, the TFS mafia intake, 1150 Dominator by Pro-Systems.

Haven't decided on a camshaft yet, as far as lifters are concerned. Would like to go solid roller, but being a engine that will see the street, roller lifter life might be compromised.

Nothing is set in stone though!!

Have a good day Ben!

The only time I've seen "galley" mispelled as " gallery" is on chevy blocks.

Hahaha

PS+ Mil1ion... Don't take what I said to harshly, I was in a bad mood! Sorry... I'll still call it a gallery though.

Galley = kitchen on a boat
